| The great myth of the XlR Bigtee, You're absolutely right. A good system MUST have the ability to sound absolutely horrible. My epiphany regarding this came when I listened to a live Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac album my friend brought over. I thought it sounded like a ba... | |

| This should be controversial....hearing tests... This subject shouldn't be controversial at all if you approach it with logic. Every time you hear anything, you hear it with your own ears, warts and all (this is why the idea that seems to surface every few years about "ear equalization" is a cro... | |
| Problem with subwoofer and Arcam ARV 300 The SW-12 also has speaker-level inputs--use 'em. It will sound better that way anyhow, unless your main speakers need the crossover to filter out lows 'cause they can't handle it. | |
| ARC 100.2/ GOT A PROBLEM By any chance are you using a tube preamp? You should always power up a tube preamp and wait a few minutes before turning on your SS amp. Tube preamps often emit strange pulses until they warm up (solid state ones sometimes do the same, but immedi... | |
| Are new tubes supposed to do this? They shouldn't do that, and it is NOT a minor problem when an amp smokes output tubes in minutes. It went from normal bias to zero volt output, and flashed another tube in the same location. The only possibilities are: very poorly matched tubes, a... | |
| Subwoofer Integration If your sub has speaker level inputs, they'll have binding posts to attach speaker wire to. If you have these, hook them up to the amplifier's OUTPUT terminals (the amp's binding posts).If you don't have speaker-level inputs, forget what I wrote. | |
| Subwoofer Integration For the best integration, I highly recommend connecting the sub's speaker level input to the outputs of your power amp. This suggestion was given to us by Audio Physics's designer (J. Gerhard?) when we were exhibiting at CES with an Audio Physics ... | |
| Transport with volume control? The McCormack SST-1 has digital volume control (this is a fact-I own one). However, when lowering the volume this way, you would essentially be throwing away resolution. My one word suggestion: DON'T! | |
| Anyone familiar with Probe Audio speakers Yes, Lyric used to carry them. I assume you have the Jaydes, which I thought were excellent at the time (haven't heard them in years, but one of my customers still uses them with one of our amps). Hook 'em up--you'll like 'em! | |
| Straightwire Serenade to Crescendo comparison Daviderow,As the manufacturer of the Virtual Image cables, I wish to inform you that: a. We only sell factory direct, thus Zspradlin couldn't possibly be selling our products (perhaps you even noticed him repeatedly suggesting that others contact ... |
