| What does Current mean in a power amp??? Rwd - Seandtaylor99 has it right, the first question you should be dealing with, and the one that is not answered here - because you have not supplied us with the info to do so - is: Why am I being told I "need" a "high-current" amplifier in the f... | |
| Vinyl distortion - What's the problem? The procedures suggested above will probably identify your culprit, but if not, you should also try to rule out any possible problem with the electronics/cables chain the TT is feeding (I'll assume you have already ascertained that the problem is ... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Ezmerelda, Rives, and Esun are correct. You have a good system in a terrible room. Nothing you do to the system will be correctly quantifiable or justifiable before you address the room. A $200,000 system would probably exhibit the same problem in... | |
| Review: KAB SL-1200 Fluid Damper Tweak Twl and Sean, I think you both pick up on the gist of what I am talking about. The funny thing is that there definitely exists, at least for me, this unstated expectation - maybe even unconcious - that better should somehow = more. That if I don't... | |
| Acoustic "OVERKILL" on "Scrubs" last night? I'm not much for MAW, and I don't know about the cut you seek, but I AM still jazzed from The Sopranos featuring The Swingin' Neckbreakers onstage in a club scene last week (go Little Steven, go baby yeah!...) | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Alright PsychicA, here you go...(I'm going to post a version of this report as a separate review as well, since that's essentially what it is, but I do not want to remove it completely from Twl's long-running thread, so here it is in its entirety ... | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? The preceding nicely illustrates why there can never be a 'world's best' amp. After a certain level excellence is achieved, personal preferences will still always exist and prevail. | |
| Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM Well guys, I can't say I agree with your more apocolyptic or conspiratorial constuctions of the situation, though our assessments concerning the general direction of eventual outcomes we may be headed toward, might not be too dissimilar. But I thi... | |
| Audiogoners Anonymous? ...or Bozo...(I actually had a customer once who insisted on calling it Boise, as in Idaho...) | |
| Audiogoners Anonymous? Clueless, maybe he's kind of a squat, oddly-shaped guy who always faces away from you, toward the wall, whenever he speaks. :-)BTW, you're not claiming that Audiogoning isn't a "sedentary" activity physically, now are you? | |
| Using a tube amp with a Solid State preamp It is the rarer way to go, but it is done. I myself am running an InnerSound SS preamp into my VTL MB-185 Sig's. I just got tired of trying to find quiet tubes for the high-gain sections in the preamp. In my experience, the tubes make the most dif... | |
| Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM Totally agree the FCC is complete f*&!@%g joke. It's like the fox guarding the henhouse, and the Bush administration, predictably enough, is encouraging more of the same, proposing to further relax ownership limitations of broadcasters, to the... | |
| Audiogoners Anonymous? She's really starting to get concerned about the Geekfest. She says it's getting worse. I tried to explain it to her, she isn't buying it. Says it's not normal. Not healthy. Sick, in fact. That we're all just a bunch of sick Goobers ticky-tick-tic... | |
| NOS Tubes make a Huge difference Just out of curiousity, how long had the tubes you took out been in service? | |
| Anyone have 'stereo blend' control experience? Correct, Bob B., and I'm pretty sure some older preamps or receivers featured such a control, like the Dyna's and AR mentioned. Onhwy61, I'm not looking to digitize anything for this, just to get somewhere in between full stereo and full mono when... |
