| is a 555:1 impedance ratio ok? EQ box or no, the ratio of 135 ohms nominal output impedance to 75K ohms nominal input impedance is plenty high enough of a differential ratio to negate the possibility of matching problems. In fact, 135 ohms output impedance is on the low side fo... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. P.S. - I want to make it clear that I do not intend to argue against honest disagreement with my above post. Anybody who's read me from time to time on this forum will know that's somewhat of a specialty of mine. It's scolding and muzzling I objec... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Jim2: You might as well 'shush' - or 'tsk-tsk', or whatever it is you're trying to do - me as well, because I've wandered seriously off-topic and am apparently in need of censure. Rcrump didn't slam anybody, wasn't rude, didn't pimp his own produc... | |
| Audioquest/Acoustic Zen/Analysis Plus? Very well-put Sean. And it should be pointed out that doesn't apply only to cabling... | |
| Audioquest/Acoustic Zen/Analysis Plus? Sean: I just got a laugh tonight along the lines you bring up. I recently picked up a pair of IC's I'd never heard previously for auditioning, and this evening I went to audioreview.com just to see what other listeners were thinking. All over the ... | |
| Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide Thanks all - I feel much better now... :-) | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. I haven't listened to Merlins, Rockports, Avantgardes, or MBL's, or the big SoundLabs and JMLabs, but I have always taken it as a given that no speaker can fully capture the dynamics of live music or adequately present the scale of a large venue (... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Jim: I take exception to your admonishing RC to keep quiet. The point of view he offered (that in his opinion the money might be better spent on keeping the amps and replacing the speakers) - whether or not you agree with it - is a perfectly legit... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed I hope you at least feel somewhat better Keith (and that you can find a facility for any continuing treatment that suits you better too). Best wishes fighting your illness. | |
| Please critique my new DIY stylus cleaning system. Y'know, they make toothpaste now with baking soda right in it - and it's got fluoride too! Sounds minty fresh, babies... ;^) | |
| Did I damage my cartridge? DTM: Crazy? Yes...just not for having a dirty stylus :-)I still use the good old Discwasher stylus brush and fluid, but am not really sure if this is even made any more.Anyhoo: I am a little skeptical about DD's theorizing that vertical deflection... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. If you have the resources to risk buying something like this sound unheard, then you have the resources to travel to audition it. Alternatively, if you are buying from a dealer who is that sure you will be blown away and consider the increase well... | |
| A cry for help to Snell B owners Although this case doesn't make a lot of sense to me - and I wonder how much of what you report is subjective in nature or how much of it I would hear if I auditioned your set up - I suppose the remote possibility exists that what you're really no... | |
| Clueless and Seeking advice on TT purchase Clueless, I would actually get that just to show it on static display, while you're hiding your DIY-plinth job behind a curtain. :-) [BTW, I trust you received my email reply.] | |
| Do reel to reel tapes fade over time... It all depends on the tape and how it was stored. You may have no problems at all, but you should make sure the deck is in proper adjustment (cleaned, lubed, aligned, demagnetized, electronics and rubber parts checked out and parts replaced if nee... |
