| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ That's why I've moved in next door to Sam and put up a toll-gate. :-) | |
| Help -- my system is too bright Having an ultrasonic peak is not unique to the MA tweeter - most metal-dome tweeters have such a measureable ultrasonic resonance point, of differing magnitudes and frequencies depending on the design. It is assumed that the higher this peak can b... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Macrojack: Thanks for the elaboration. | |
| Help -- my system is too bright I find it very interesting that so many recommendations can be confidently suggested despite the fact that Rsbeck has told us nothing about what speakers and cables he is presently using.Me, I'm waiting for the day when an audiophile posts here co... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Macrojack, I know nothing about Timbre Technology. Maybe you could explain how Stereophile 'favored' Sonic Frontiers (who are no longer in business themselves, I might add), and how their doing so could have put any other company (especially one p... | |
| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ I'm curious - How many of the posters here who see advertisers receiving positive reviews as de facto incriminating evidence of a quid pro quo are Consumers Reports subscribers? How many would pay what a Stereophile subscription would cost if they... | |
| PC that wont change my amp's personality ? I can't make a specific recommendation for your amp, but I do have a theory about your situation. As I've written before, I've come to believe - based on my own experiences trying different cords, plus logic and intuition - that while most compone... | |
| N802 possible tweeter buzz If you hear a buzz from a dome tweeter, it is most likely produced by a voice-coil misalignment which causes it to scrape against the motor assembly (instead of remaining evenly within the magnetic gap) when driven, although it's not impossible th... | |
| Taking your system to the showroom: drive em crazy Yes, it is. Especially since you can't haul your room to the dealer's. Arrange to take home the 'tweak' (a CD player is a tweak?) instead, either on a loan, deposit, or refundable purchase trial basis. | |
| Can you warm up your tube amp ... You can do permanent damage to a tube amp's output transformers by running the amp without a speaker load connected - and besides, your ARC should be able to come up to it's best sound in fairly short order anyway (usually around 15-30 minutes for... | |
| Best Thread on Audiogon? It takes many fine threads woven together to create a sturdy and beautiful fabric... | |
| VTA Adjustment Well Ohlala, I didn't figure you really were - or maybe meant to be - an 'analog elitist' (or one of any kind), based on my knowledge of you from numerous other threads. And I knew you weren't trying to put me down for not being familiar with the ... | |
| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ Kal, humor will never dissuade the determined conspiracy theorist... ;^) | |
| Felice Bryant: you rocked my world BTW Tweakgeek, I just noticed you said "greatest American songwriting team of all time", full stop. Rodgers and Hart/Hammerstein? George and Ira Gershwin? Holland/Dozier/Holland? Lieber and Stoller? Wilson/Christian? Bachrach and David? Any of the... | |
| VTA Adjustment No Ohlala, it's not like I would know about this distributor, but I know an elitist attitude about the qualifications for admission to the analog fraternity when I see one (what's wrong with learning by doing?). You're right, of course - a TT's ma... |
