| KEF R700 Opinions please Listened to them many times and wanted to love them because they look great and have really good bass. I do love the KEF LS50s but the R700s are not voiced in the same way. The R700s have a smooth sound but the midrange is not open, transparent ... | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection especially with a tube amplifier the preferred way to connect a subwoofer is through high level inputs- connection to amplifier's speaker terminals in parallel with the main speakers. it helps with the integration and can sound more seamless. I... | |
| Amp choice for Harbeth (SHL5) Third for the Vinnie Rossie Lio. Heard it on Harbeth 3 years in a row at AXPONA. This year with the SHL5+. Tube linestage and capacitor store design isolates it from the AC grid. Noise floor is unheard of and dynamics are incredible. Stereoph... | |
| Intigrated Amp Dilemma use the halo as a preamp to drive the parasound a21. it stays in class A mode much longer than the hint. | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone the most transparent midrange drivers i have heard are made of aluminum. but their properties usually need one incredible crossover to tame the break up distortion and rapidly rising response. see the joseph audio speakers with infinite slope c... | |
| Dynavector DV20X2L Question have you read the AT ART9 thread? i had / have the DV20X2L and the ART9 sounds better. | |
| Stay away from the nad "blue cap" C272 and it is a very nice sounding solid state amp with gobs of power and dynamics, never a glitch.c356 year and a half and no issues except the power led flickers. not happy with the sound of the C356 though. | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? bi-amping can be great but it depends on the application. there really are not many disadvantages for speaker makers except the slight expense to add the additional wiring, binding posts and jumpers. the advantages are the ability to have a mor... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? mine sound noticeably better when I push the spikes through the carpet to make contact with my basement's concrete floor. i do this with the subwoofer too. pain to move around but the sound is better.on the other hand i was in the vinnie rossie ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... mine was sounding a little dull compared to other cartridges so I raised the tonearm tail by 2mm from absolute level.amazing what a difference it made in clarity, detail and dynamics. the ART9 is very sensitive to VTA so if you are not happy with... | |
| Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp? i prefer a good quality solid state phono preamp with my tube integrated amp. it sounds spectacular and also closer to my digital sources that way. | |
| I would like to get into Turntables but ......... HELP! budget including cartridge? what is your amplifier? | |
| 8K for a one-time listen? At least the double LPs are not twice as much as the $5500 single LP (Bill Evans). they could theoretically ask $11,000 for the 4-lacquer sets. So in theory we would save $3,600! Quite a deal! | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? @lewm a smaller motor pulley driving a larger pulley (platter vs. sub platter) has many engineering advantages as can be computed in simple belt pulley - pulley drive system configurations. i performed some engineering calculations simulating a 1... | |
| 8K for a one-time listen? it would be a bummer if the power went out while playing it. |
