| Buzzing Rel subwoofer My REL subs are a Q150e and a Q108e MKII…the Q150 had a little 60 hz hum that was eliminated by utilizing the ground lift switch above its AC cable socket, and the 108 (bought later) was always humless so no need (that one doesn't have a lift swit... | |
| Interesting Magico news Another interesting Magico thing (to me anyway) is the Magico factory pic I saw in a mag someplace that clearly shows an inexpensive QSC GX3 pro power amp sitting there…I love mine for concert gigs (monitor amp usually), and can assume Magico love... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The Tice Clock was the re-marketing and consequent up-pricing of an inexpensive Radio Shack electric alarm clock that was somehow treated by Tice to allow it to have a positive effect on the circuits in the room in which it was plugged in, thus al... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I don't "continue doubting" as I did a comprehensive test after doubting, and verified what I suspected: Fuses don't, and should not, do anything but pass AC through them (in both directions which is what AC does) and melt if needed when designed... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Question…We know that many claim these fuses do something to improve things in their gear, but how do they do whatever it is they do? Facts please. Thanks in advance. | |
| Has anybody heard this newer brand of turntable? Shineola Runwell out of Detroit, MI USA? Shinola is a smart little company with what appears to be a gigantic marketing budget. Pricey, but people want to pay for hipster designs (steampunk?) and feel good about Detroit making stuff, so good on them. By the way, great mechanical/automati... | |
| TUBES: Telefunken EL84 & ECC801 Mullard NOS 6201 (12AT7) tubes from Upscale in my power amp (previous 4024s are in my backup tube bullpen)…gold pins, sound great, relatively inexpensive, and in my amp are the phase inverter/drivers so a little less important maybe than the 12AX7... | |
| Which preamp tubes in my amp make the most difference when rolling? In my tube power amp I use a combo of new Gold Lion 12AX7s and NOS Mullard 6201s (12AT7s) from Uncle Kevin. I think the current version Gold Lions are great (I like the KT88s also), and I like the Mullards because they flash when you turn the amp ... | |
| Why Single-Ended? The "artifact" or whatever it was that sucked using the Mogami XLR cables was just with them specifically as other XLR cables sounded fine, so hey…it’s still a little mysterious. Also, after years of using XLR cables in pro audio I am absolutely i... | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 The Vandy 1CE is a 2 way and I owned a pair of 1Bs for years…great speaker and with the transmission line loaded 8" woofer those things can get down, so to speak. Also the advantage of the small baffle in there seems to work along with the simplic... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? Some blotchiness (if that's a word) under the shiny parts…it's the Hotcakes collection. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa, continuing to promote these things with silly nonsense is like continuing to try to ride a dead horse…read my second line…or not, but I’ll try to word things more carefully in the future so you can get the drift. Also, asking how an ag... | |
| ATC ACTIVE VS PASSIVE I noticed a pair of ATCs at Goodwin's recently and the grills looked like chicken wire…not in a bad way... | |
| Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus... I have Silverlines (Prelude) and they're great, and I've talked to the designer who's pretty cool. That said, I think the name Minuet Supreme sounds like a small food item or a type of early music. I hope this response was helpful. | |
| The best tweeter design One utilizing the voice box of an actual small bird. Creepy but effective. |
