| Pro audio amp vs. residential amp I'm not implying that Bryston stuff is universally accepted, or universally deemed unnacceptable, as that would be a condescending statement of the obvious and my audio geek bretheren deserve better. Or do they...hmm... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? I do tire of people telling me how my system sounds, but again, since I listen to things and judge signal degradation with my very experienced ears and not the opinions of fatuous psuedo experts, I can say there is nothing to be done with my thoro... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? I have a carefully and properly set up turntable that sounds great, and the only difference between the phono preamp filter being on or off is that when it's on the woofers don't pump with subsonic crap and my tube amp's bias lights don't indicate... | |
| Pro audio amp vs. residential amp Bryston amps have been raved about among home audio reviewers for years, and might be among the few brands that have successfully hurdled the "pro" vs. "home use" barrier. In recording studio use anyway...not so much in PA systems for various reas... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Rumble filters, if working properly, will delete the fight scene from West Side Story...a weird side effect. | |
| Jolida 02 PAny Info On The Jolida 502 P Power Amp I agree that there are a dearth of professional reviews of this amp, so you are forced to dip into the muddy waters of gear forums. I offer this: I chose a new 502p in 2012 because the factory upgrades were cheap (not sure if it needed that, but i... | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub That's a pretty deluxe cell for Sing Sing. | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub A good sub can charge the air in a room and make your mains seem to be working better even when listening to mandolins. A bass guitar has a low E of about 41hz and an experienced listener with good speakers can easily tell if it's an upright or a ... | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub To see if I'm a Luddite or simply an Actual Expert (heh heh), I did a cursory scan of audio reviewers in my pile of gear rags in my recycle que, some reputable, some arguable, to see how many are regularly using any sort of the aforementioned "Dig... | |
| New KT150 tubes? True. True. 150s are priced to the current market, and my hoping they'd be cheaper eventually is simply wishful thinking...today if needed I'd just get another set of matched 120s as they seem to be a relative bargain and sound great. | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub I've heard room correction systems and I think they are for people who lack the ability to set up hifi systems or prefer digitized and flattened bass response...that's hardly natural. I prefer to not use a digital nanny in my room but clearly you ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? If the 120s or any tube for that matter start to SOUND bad, become hard to keep biased, or explode and destroy your hamster sleeping in his ball next to the hifi (this is sad as you should never leave the hamster in the ball)...then certainly they... | |
| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub "Room mode correction doesn't compress bass except in those instances that it is unnaturally elevated due to the physical dimensions of the room"...meaning it doesn't compress until it does? Hmmm...it's "smoothing" by compressing and limiting...th... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Rumble with bass reflex speakers and wide frequency range amps is pretty common, and I fixed it with a phono preamp that has a rumble filter (Cambridge 640p with a Pangea power supply). Works on pesky amp an speaker taxing sub 20hz crap that I do ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? It seems ridiculous that somebody would claim 1900 hours is "near the end of their useful life" for KT120s unless that person was trying to sell you something...that would make perfect sense. I'm shooting for 5000 hours or more for my 120s, which ... |
