kota1, thanks. If you like the way it was then, wait till you see the way it is now!
Harman Kardon HK990 Question
I pulled this amp out of storage the other day and hooked it up. For the 1st time since I bought it, it occurred to me there is no way to bypass the high and low pass filter section when utilizing the subwoofer outputs. When the sub outputs are turned on, the setup process forces you to select a crossover frequency, even if you want to manage your bass via other options. If any of you guys are still using this amp, how do you address this issue? I guess I could just hook the subwoofers up to the preamp outputs. My subs don't have high level inputs.

@millercarbon , obviously you are on the path of audio system "kaizen". If you knew back then what you know now, how would you go about putting together a system? Would you do anything different? Thanks

@millercarbon That was not a rub on my part. BTW there are a ton of great tube integrated amplifiers that kill the Raven line. I own several myself. New class D hybrid integrated are also making waves, Rouge, Canor just to name a couple. The landscape is changing.

Didn't take it that way. It is just this seems to be a rather unusual path I am on. I guess I could have just said yes and been done with it. But that kind of leads people to all kinds of natural yet false assumptions. Although when I look around, there are quite a few boutique audio salons scattered here and there around the land. Could be maybe some of them are like me, and I just don't know about it. Haven't seen any indications, but they could be there. Anyway, no worries, we all fine here. |
kota1, thanks and that is a good question. If I knew back then... Well I wouldn't have wasted a year on HT, wouldn't have given away almost all my records, wouldn't have wasted even more years on CD. Would have run a dedicated line to the front of the room instead of normal outlets daisy chained all around. But then all these things assume a knowledge base that was mostly acquired by hard won experience. Otherwise known as screwing up first to do better later. So the number one thing I guess would be, if I knew then what I know now, I would have started screwing up a lot earlier. |
