| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator I had demo-ed the Sa-10 with and without the clock. The clock made a huge difference to me but again that was on the Sa-10. It brought out greater detail and added to the musicality of the player. That being said in my case the price of the clock ... | |
| Why would a pre amp blow fuses? Fuses blow most of the time due to an over current condition. You may have a cap or maybe a diode thats breaking down. Does the fuse blow upon powering up or after long times of being powered up.UNDER NO circumstances replace the fuse with a highe... | |
| Active Speakers: The usual suspects .... Meridian - ATCJust a couple more | |
| CDP Recommendations If you have the itch or its time for something different sounding Meridian is very musical. Try to demo a couple of different manufacturers to give you an idea of what your looking for. Esoteric and meridian are very different and you would like 1... | |
| Sub vs. three way BTW, bass from a subwoofer is no more directional than from full range speakers, i.e., it is not.Sorry Bob I have to strongly disagree. My sub is approx 1 ft to the left of my left monitor and the deep bass is louder from the left side of the room... | |
| Sub vs. three way No not at all. I think everyone would love a pair of speakers that go all the down to 20hz but those speaker are very very expensive. Adding a sub to monitors will give you fuller sound but bass at 20 to 80hz will be very directional. My monitors ... | |
| Martin Logan Descent subwoofer Thanks for your response Kenscollick, but the 4 subs listed are not damaged.Well wasnt yours NOT damaged before the shipper got a hold of them. You should do what Kennesollick said. Also the seller sold it to you for a price. That should be the 'i... | |
| Source connection? Does it happen with all interconnects and all inputs? I would have to say if yes it is with the input jacks. Did you get the pre-amp from a store? If so I would bring your ic's back there and give them a try. Also I have seen some ic's where the c... | |
| Wasatch interconnect direction Should point to the amp. | |
| Xbox 360 w/Blueray will debut in Q3. Microsoft says NO but the rumors continue. Do you think MS would lie to anyone?http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/microsoft-says-no-new-xbox-360s-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/02/xbox-360-blu-ray-console-by-september/http://www.engadget.... | |
| Angling speakers up instead of high stands I personally feel that they sound better at ear level. I started with 9" stands angled up at approx 15 degrees then tried straight. At that low height the angling sounded a bit better but lost the bass reflections from the floor. Then I switched t... | |
| Subwoofer set up I have a REL B3 and you start by setting the rolloff at the low end of the speaker spec. Key word here is start Even my bookshelves claim to produce lower freqsClaim is a key word here | |
| earth ground disconnected or not ? Lifting the 'Earth Ground' from power cables is common especially with source components. I would only do so if there is a problem like a humm (ground loop). That is the only way I would say it will sound better. Of course like Riley804 means neve... | |
| Sound bottlenecks: Cartridge-Amp-Speakers Tobias hit it on the head. You seem to be into specs and not sound. My 1st speakers were rated 20 - 20khz (BIC formula 4) and cost a whopping 219.00 pair in 1976. In 92 I replaced them with $800 Mission/Cyrus 782 monitors rated 70 - 20khz +/- 1.5d... | |
| CD upgrade opinions? When I was looking for a new cd player I compared the Rega Saturn against the Esoteric sa-10. The Rega was very dry sounding to me and the Esoteric was better but with too much detail. Adding the g0 external clock helped tremendously but still had... |
