Do you ever use the balance on your pre amp? I don't know what that has to do with what I said, and I am aware those "Test CD3s." I'm tired of the soundstage talk and its' power over so many audiophools. Save it Tvad, ain't happening here. "Phantom audiophile term?" I like that. But as for s... | |
Do you ever use the balance on your pre amp? This soundstage thing: The musicians are postitioned in space where the recording engineer puts them. Referent? Not a clue. Now let's look at a live recording. Again, unless I was there and remembered the exact positioning of all the instrumentali... | |
Zu Druids Huh? What are you smoking? | |
Do you ever use the balance on your pre amp? I have the same problem. One side of my room is open and the speaker on that side loses the side wall for reverb etc. Anything I could do, acoustically, would have a VERY strong negativo WAF... | |
Exemplar-Denon 2900 tube audio output not working I agree with Tvad. Emailing John is not the way to go. Phone him, and he'll set you free... | |
Do you ever use the balance on your pre amp? If the "only slightly off center image" could be taken care of by a few clicks of the remote, why go for the expense of the room treatments? I would think room treatments have a much more profound affect on many other things other than the center ... | |
Do you ever use the balance on your pre amp? The centering of my vocals with the pre amp is much more profound than I realized. When the balance centers the vocals it moves more than (obviously) merely the vocal, in my case, to the left. Instruments' position in space, and the soundstage its... | |
Eggleston Andra II and Pass Labs XA160's Never heard them together, but if I were thinking of money-is-no-object SS, I'd be thinking that combination would be mighty. | |
If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? Onhwy61, in the real world (since you have first dibs on what the real world is. AND I do agree with you) people do keep their stereo systems 'til they drop. But we're audiophools, not beholding to reality. That is why we are never satisfied. Alwa... | |
Upgrade Source? There is an Exemplar 3910 for sale on the 'gon for a drop dead great price. I purchased mine from Ric last year. He is an authorized Exemplar dealer. Honest and very fair prices. | |
If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? Never! Audiogon allows wonderful things to happen for all of us at less than list. Remember list is usually a manufacturers "sugested" list price. Merely a sugestion, and rarely attainable (or realistic) in our supply/demand/competitive economics.... | |
Anybody play any musical instruments........... PianoAlto Saxoboeguitar Haven't touched any of them ('cept the piano) in years. BTW, I was equally poor on all of 'em. | |
Why Tube Pre-SS amp over SS Pre- Tube amp? I'm a purist. Tubes (SET) all the way. Pre to amp. It works for my ears. SET, particulary, very magical, holographic, you've heard the whole nine of adjectives: and they are true. I wouldn't let an SS pre amp touch my SET amp. Kind of like putting... | |
High power amp for monitors? If I'm correct I think you would have to go to a least 250 watts to get a 3db increase in volume. I suppose this is why you want a more powerful amp? If it is SPL you're looking for, you may want to rethink spending the money on an amp and conside... | |
Need your help finding a pair of speakers......... Gina, there is a company called Rives that does this sort of thing. Call them and explain your situation before you even think to start listening to speakers. AlbertPorter owns the Dalis and I believe he has tube mono blocks. You may want to e mai... |
