| DIRECTION OF SIGNAL FLOW VIA INTERCONNECTS Dazzdax:You must be refering to all of the "newer" model Cardas cables - such as the Golden Reference (1 have a 1M pair of Golden Reference and they are non-directional). I assure you the older (90's) Quadlink, Hexlink, Golden Cross ARE directiona... | |
| Is this a crazy idea. With respect to Flrnlamb, my "double stereo" in no way is "flat, without snap or punch". Front is a pair of heavily modded Spica TC50's. Rear is modded JBL L-166's. Cables are Cardas Golden Cross interconnects, Cardas Hexlink 5c speaker cables to ... | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? I remember seeing them in the window of an audio dealer around 1980 or so and thinking WoW! what ARE those things? they must be the best. | |
| DIRECTION OF SIGNAL FLOW VIA INTERCONNECTS Many cables ARE directional, and they will not sound right (Cardas case in point) if they are going the wrong way - I have tried it and you really have to have the arrows going in the direction of the signal path (as stated above by others). | |
| REL with Integrated Amp connection Question Lush: what you want to do is use the REL Neutric connector, not speaker cable, from the power amp output terminals of the krell (inserted after the speaker cables) to the REL... Just as above post Seantaylor99 says. Also there is I believe a "high... | |
| Why are we so passive? Shadorne:Very informative post.. yeah I kind of knew all that. It just irks me, like the new cd I purchased, John Mclaughlin's "Thieves and Poets" I think(?) and there in the background are those damn Yamahas... my favorite guitarist in the whole ... | |
| New TT ideas please I've got a Rega P-9 and I think from your description of what you're looking for the Rega P-9 is right there. Easy, set it up, level it and forget about it. Lively, detailed etc. (with the Ringmat). I use cardas wiring in the tonearm, Benz Ref sil... | |
| Why are we so passive? Shadorne: good response, but: "Listeners at a studio are in the know about music and have a job to do and prefer a reference sound to "sugar-coating"; Really? alot of musicians don't know crap about good sound. Just look at all the photos of "arti... | |
| changing fuses in pass amps The Forte 1a has fuses, I had to go to an electonics supply store to find the exact match. If you open the top of the amp if there are fuses they should be pretty visible right away I would think. | |
| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? I have been a Pat Metheny fan since 1980, the year I first saw him live (RIT Rochester NY).My favorites over the decades:1. New Chautauqua (hey I used to live in Chautauqua county NY)2. As Falls Wichita3. Offramp4. Still Life Talking5. 80/81 (this... | |
| Bose 901...really The 802 is used without the single driver on the front, and with all 8 drivers facing the listener (turned around from the reflecting home version).These have had some popularity, I can remember hearing them from time to time and they are ok for s... | |
| Inner sleeves versus none? NO inner sleeve? uugh! I'd rather have paper over none at all. | |
| The best mini monitors you have heard? Does anyone have the new Chario Millenium 2's with the twin 5" woofs? I hear they are better than the Academy 1's. I saw a pair for sale a while back but I have so much already invested in my Academy 1's (new drivers) I had to pass. | |
| Best short-lived band? Happy the ManI see someone remembers Steve Still's Manassas...The 1st double album is a great album I still have and love... Kind of odd sound what with the 'cuban bluegrass' arrangements. | |
| The best mini monitors you have heard? Ensemble PA-1 ReferenceChario Academy 1Both no longer made. |
