| Tuners that do it? Go to fmtunerinfo.com. You'll learn alot and they have a rating system for sound quality of the tuners they've tested. Many people are modding vintage japanese tuners. I use a modded Kenwood Kt 7500 and listen to a local jazz station with sound qu... | |
| Best Speaker Match for JC-1's : VMPS or Von S.? I can say that I know the VMPS speakers will enjoy the current. I run a Parasound HCA 3500 with mine. Tried a Marsh A400s at 200wpc and the bass would get loose if it was loud. I also know Brian's speakers will handle alot of power (on my second s... | |
| acoustic placement/small bright room You're correct in figuring it's your room, it usually is. You can try to get the speakers positioned so that they crossfire in front of you a couple of feet. Also some bass traps can help. These aren't cheap but will help significantly and can be ... | |
| Best $3000 - $4000 loudspeaker? VMPS RM 40's, Winner of the CES a couple of years ago not to mention glowing reviews. They are the best speaker I've heard and are my next speaker. I'd like to hear the Von Schweikerts but you'll be hard pressed to outdo the RM 40's for under ten ... | |
| Hissing sound when I turn on preamp. Please advise Make sure the speaker cable is not near any power cable. Sounds like EMI. Speaker cable would not cause this but try the above. Also make sure interconnects are not near any power cable. | |
| Strange Dimensions If you make sure your rack can handle 19" widths and 20" depths you should be ok. I used one sheet of finish grade plywood to build a Salamander clone. A Salamander clone allows the heights of the shelves to be adjusted as the shelves are held by ... | |
| What would be the weakest link in this setup I'd say your room. Your ceiling is 8' and width is 16. A multiple like this will make bass modes much worse. Bass traps at a minimum. You'll be amazed at the improvement in sound. Like the above poster states, room treatment. Until that is done it... | |
| Adcom GFA 535II or 545II/suggestions You'll not notice any difference to speak of. The difference in output volume is less than 3db. One db being barely audible. Every time you double the power you have an increase in volume of 3db so there would really be no benefit. I'd wait til I ... | |
| To much high Ditto to the above. You are wasting your time trying different speaker cables. Try moving the speakers, especially toeing them in. I actually have mine crossfiring about two feet in front of me. Adding room treatment can help too. You said nothing... | |
| Room Acoustics Once you get your room bass traps and some more treatment you will find out that the sound can improved dramatically. Without the treatment of some sort of DSP like the Tact then your sytem will not sound near as good as it can. The best part is t... | |
| Advice for high end tube preamp for ss amp HELP The ARC LS 16 has what you need and I like mine alot. It will be hard to part with. | |
| Long Speaker Wire Runs I'd buy some knukonceptz 10 ga silver plated wire with the PE insulation. It'll work fine and is only 2 bucks a foot, no terminations though. You can get terminations here on agon. | |
| Power amp under 500... Either amp is fine. You'll do well with whichever you choose. | |
| krell hts 1 upgrade. I seriously doubt it. Besides you would ruin the value of the piece and the cost would probably be prohibitive. Best to sell it and get one that is already set up. | |
| Conrad Johnson 17LS Owner. Will 6dj8 work? Call Conrad Johnson. In my ARC LS 16 I called them and they said it was no problem. My favorite tube is a 6dj8. It's only a problem if the tubes are being driven hard. Maybe ask this question over at AA also. |
