| Tube Amp Watts and Quality Electrons. LOL Makes sense guys. Although I've read or heard that if a tube amp is abused beyond the point of all reason, it could oscillate and throw off some damaging signals. My tube amp's rated output is about 120+ wpc. Honestly, . . . . I can't push it too ... | |
| how much of a difference should equipment make? Let me throw my 2 cents into the DF can. I have asked about DF in numerous threads, read Atmasphere's white paper on voltage and power paradigm amps, conversed with Al, Ralph and other techies about the issue. I even called ARC and spoke with Len ... | |
| Why do people bid on equipment and don't come Agree with Buconero, although in one case someone sent me a message within an hour or two after submitting an offer and asked to be released because he had second thoughts. As a courtesy, I rejected his offer amd moved on. In that case, the other ... | |
| Help with ringing bass from Dynaudio C1 Sorry Johnny, wasn't quite sure I understood your post. Did you mean the OP should insert his spouse inside the speakers?? If it works for the OP, can it be done with other speakers? If you know how to do it, I'll be in Verona in a heart beat. | |
| Current optimized or voltage optimized speakers? Thanks Al. As my system description says, I'm done with major changes and upgrades for now. Will still do some tweaking here and there, but my main focus will be on buying good quality vinyl and CDs. And then just enjoying what I have. As I've sai... | |
| Current optimized or voltage optimized speakers? Ralph, Al and others -- thanks for your responses, but I'm still not sure the question has been answered. As I said, my speakers -- Paradigm S-8 v3's -- have some pretty wild impedance and phase angle curves. At one point (100Hz I think), impedanc... | |
| A simple Request to Sellers- To all, just sold a pair of heavy speakers to a member in another state. I kept my buyer fully advised each step of the way about status, including when I received his check, and shipping information. In fact, when packing the speakers, I noticed ... | |
| "Watts" Versus "Current" Thamnosma and other contributors, great job. I've started a new OP which takes this OP to the next level. Specifically, is there any way to meaningfully and intelligently match an amp, be it tube or SS, to Speaker X. And I'm not even touching elec... | |
| ARC Hybrid FET/Tube audio circuit Ltngstrucktwice, just an fyi -- Hifigeek (aka Gary) is an authorized ARC service tech. You can rely on whatever he says. | |
| My two cents... Kijanki, I agree with your point about system synergy. I recall reading some pretty unfriendly reviews of the Paradigm Signature 8 v1, which had aluminum tweeters. Some of the comments mentioned listening fatigue which the listeners attributed to ... | |
| Left channel fading in and out Actsreus, I still think whatever Al says is good advice. But try this short cut. Switch speaker cables left/right. See if the fading problems moves. If not, in some goofy way I do not understand, it could be the speakers. If yes, moving downstream... | |
| Left channel fading in and out Actusreus, everything Al said -- try. Got a funny feeling though you've got a weak or failing tube. Nevertheless, follow Al advice. Please let us know how your detective work fares.Good luck. | |
| Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of Thanks Zd. If your right about mark-up, which I would have guessed you are, I'm surprised that every dealer I spoke to about pricing my new speakers acted like he was cutting his throat with the absolute minimum price he could offer. One dealer to... | |
| Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of Zd542, recently had the same experience when trying to buy speakers. One out of state dealer told me he was restricted to his area under the manufacturer's dealer agreement. Failure to comply could cost him a valuable dealer relationship. So, I wo... | |
| Made in America Marakanetz, as I recall, I read somewhere that ARC imports the Phillips Pro 2 transport from Holland. Regardless, it's ARC favorite CDP transport. ARC uses it on the REF CD-8 and the CD-5, and used it on the now discontinued Ref CD-7 and CD-3 MkII. |
