| Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters? In other words, regardless of your hearing's upper limits, the high frequencies in live music have a very real effect on what is going on at the lower, more "audible" frequencies, and this goes a long way in explaining why 20KHZ shelving on "red b... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I rest my case, with thanks to Simao! | |
| JOLIDA Issue My 502 has been cookin' along with new Gold Lion 12AX7s and KT150s for a couple of weeks now and I'm astonished at how good it sounds now that things have settled in even more...I've recently listened to some far more expensive stuff including an ... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I have never, except when joking around, disputed the potential sound quality or value of these speakers, but the inability of others to understand what I AM bugging about sort of makes my case in general. I know about plywood (and Dixie cups) as ... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I refuse to respond to such harassing, belittling, and disrespectful language. Or maybe I don't, in any case...what's wrong with dixie cups? Don't you realize the TREMENDOUS skill involved in making dixie cups? Are plywood assemblers really "premi... | |
| Setting up an audio system Break into neighbors homes and give their systems a listen, as this is less annoying to intrepid audio salesmen. | |
| Tuning Rel G1 I use a test CD for tone generation to see where my main speakers start to seriously drop off at the low end, and adjust my REL to pick up the "Bass Ball" at what seems to be the point where it meshes with the mains. "Mains Meshing" is the proper ... | |
| Room Size - Front Port vs Rear Port Speakers It's useful to dig a hole in the wall to accommodate rear ports...and note that I think it's tawdry to even mention "rear ports" in mixed company. | |
| Setting up an audio system Mesch...any issue regarding paying too much attention to what you put in your CD tray is obviated by a simple solution: Only put CDs in the tray. Also never underestimate the value of proper clothing while listening to music...my butler dresses me... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear The "negative posts" comment was a sort of rhetorical question regarding MY posts in response to comments by others...I suggest you read things and try to understand what the words actually mean (!), except for the obvious satirical bits which I d... | |
| Setting up an audio system Two options: Take piles of time auditioning various things and make well thought out decisions regarding the compatibility of the components and how they will work with your music preferences, room size, refined esthetic sense, flannel shirt colle... | |
| How do you roll? First LP on a new TT. I was covering some of Glass Houses in a band back when it came out, and at the time I was blown away with the deeper cuts (and got tired of the hits real fast). A friggin' great album...Ronstadt said at the time that "New Wave is whitey's last st... | |
| JOLIDA Issue Tubes can fade away or die spectacularly, both of which has happened in my 502p with no issues issuing from the amp. That's tubes for ya. A note on Shubert's post...I love my NOS UK origin Mullard 12AT7s, but I've had really good luck with Russian... | |
| Setting up an audio system The "old vinyl" deal is something I can relate to. I've kept a pile of LPs dating back to the 60s and bought a "Spin Clean" to clean the damn things after putting together a new phono rig. I've noted this before but it's still worth mentioning (or... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear Do the "negative" posts regard the speakers themselves or the inane and seemingly desperate promotion and silly technology claims? I still claim that a sensible website with less magical nonsense, rational promotion through the normal channels (sh... |
