| Amp for Martin Logan Good choice, let us know how you like it. | |
| $1k, new, power amp, 100w or less, what do you say A Rotel 991 or 1080 is what I'd buy. The 991 is basically the same amp. A used Conrad Johnson Sonographe can also be a good choice.You may as well buy used as these amps I mention above aren't very old at all and will retain their value much bette... | |
| audio research LS15 preamplifier I'd not tried that Audphile1 as I suspect the difference if any would be not worth bothering with. | |
| audio research LS15 preamplifier There's no point in using the balanced input because either way it's going to be a single ended signal. Just use the rca input jacks, that's what I did. | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu Salk has an owner's forum at audiocircle.com. It may be a good place to get help. Maybe someone lives near you with a pair. They have a list of owner's that will allow you to audition them in a sticky I believe.I've never heard them but people who... | |
| new to tuners Viridian's advice is spot on. Get a used vintage tuner. They will do a better job than anything you can get for anywhere near the same price. Mod an old Kenwood or Sansui and be ready for cd quality sound. Then you'd be into it for 450-500 dollars... | |
| Surge protective outlets? I use one with my power amps and it doesn't seem to affect the sound whatsoever. They're kind of spendy for outlets but are well made. Also there's a light that will come on if the surge protection quits working.My amp puts out 600wpc into my 4ohm... | |
| Audio Debt? If I have the cash I can afford it. Otherwise I have to save more or whatever. At this point I use one credit card and keep a thousand limit on it. I have no other credit cards. The only reason I have the one is after trying to go without one foun... | |
| what to look for in "audiophile" grade parts.... If you spend more it's more likely better components will be used. I wouldn't buy one amp over another because one states they use 1% tolerant resistors or whatever. The better gear all does. When you spend 1500 on an integrated the build quality,... | |
| ribbon tweeters This is more complicated than you may think. The crossover needs modification and someone who really knows what they're doing needs to do it. A theoretical crossover point and curve may or may not work. I'd not do it. Get different speakers. I und... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP You have to make sure that the max span you allow is about 5-6 db. Then I bring the boosted frequencies down so they're only 2-3 db up. Everything has to be right to get a good result. It's not as easy as just hitting the autoeq. Other settings mu... | |
| Cleaning & polishing premium-grade speakers I use wax designed for this purpose from here:http://woodworker.com/cgi-bin/search.exeI got this from the advice from pro's. According to them Pledge and others are a joke. | |
| Need pre-amp help for Kappa 9 & Adcom GFA-555mkii There are few amps that can deal with the Kappa 9's vicious load. I believe it dips to under 2 ohms. I'm actually impressed the Adcom keeps running as that says alot for the Adcom. Two amps I know that will drive that speaker well, my choice would... | |
| I hate stereo stores But found the next best thing I also sell stereo gear in my house. I've got a nice dedicated acoustically treated room in what I like to consider a completely relaxing atmosphere. As far as I'm concerned if someone wants something that's good but if they don't I always enjoy t... | |
| Higher power=better sound at low volume? You'll find people who claim low powered amps sound best. I've never noticed that in my experience. I tend to have speakers that need some power and have found that 2-300 wpc is what I need although I never use it. It seems to me that it's when yo... |
