| Anyone have 'stereo blend' control experience? Thanks for the tips so far. This request is for playback of material such as Viridian mentions - early stereo recordings which suffer from hard left/right panning techniques. Although mono-ing the signal can work, it often results in some frequenc... | |
| Death of Vinyl? Nah Jlambrick - Bizarre, dude! | |
| What McIntosh Amp With Thiel 3.6 Speakers? OK, here's my totally wit-less response. ;^)First of all, we both spelled the word 'erratic' incorrectly, which Symphony Sound did not. My apologies if I caused you any erraticism in this regard.Secondly, there is a 'standard' impedance? Hey, ever... | |
| What McIntosh Amp With Thiel 3.6 Speakers? Symphony Sound - Just a note: The Thiel's impedance is not "eratic", it's just low - under 3 ohms through most of the range, about double that in the low bass. The curve is actually quite flat, and the electical phase characteristics are fairly be... | |
| Death of Vinyl? Nah Didn't we already have a thread by this title not too long ago, or is it my imagination? | |
| Use 4 or 8 ohm output on amp for 6 ohm speakers? George is right (Tireguy is left and Newbee is gone ;^) - you can't damage anything by trying both of the tap options out. One should sound best with your speakers. | |
| TV picture issue, anyone? Update: After continued use (and a location change, although I don't think that really played a part), the TV is no longer showing colors on B&W images strongly enough to bother me at this point. Live and learn - I suppose the first TV may hav... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Basement, I believe you refering to the yoke.I am getting a little lost as to where exactly this conversation is now heading, but I will make a couple of observations and hope that they will be relevant (at least to what has been written above, if... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Was the CD a simultaneously-recorded version of the same session? ;^) | |
| Enacoms for bright speakers? Well Dave, first of all I am glad, as a Thiel owner, to find another Audiogoner who does not hold the opinion that most Thiel models are inherently 'bright'. I've addressed this in other posts, but to put it briefly, what I often think is being pr... | |
| Why low sensitivity speakers? Cdc, IMO, there is no way to lay the differences you heard at the doorstep of driver material for sure - there are simply too many concurrent variables at work in any given loudspeaker design to determine which is responsible for what by ear. And ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long You know, it's been so long since I took a look at the KAB site, I guess I forgot which plane the damping operates in. Considering that the grooves are actually cut at a 45 degree angle, I would suppose that a little of both horizontal and vertica... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Time to go watch "The Sopranos", so I'm being brief. Basement & Twl, my TT/arm was mentioned above (OK, way above), but it is a garden variety Technics SL-1200 with its stock arm. Also as mentioned before, the damper will be from KAB, and it i... | |
| What companies have gone above and beyond? I will also add two names/companies to my earlier post: Both Mel Schilling of Camelot Technologies and Roger Sanders of InnerSound have been exceptionally helpful, forthcoming, and expansive concerning questions I have discussed with them via tele... | |
| Enacoms for bright speakers? Dave, your post confuses me. You seem to be suggesting that the Enacoms work just great, and at the same time saying, don't bother, they won't do any good. What am I missing? |
