| Sloped baffle I recall seeing the terms "time coherent" and "phase coherent." Do these terms mean the same thing or are they different?Since this thread speaks to speaker alignment, perhaps someone could explain in layman's terms what causes speaker to operate ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Tsushima1 ... I believe to a near certainty that the KT-150 will do NO harm to my amp. Nevertheless, I will not drop that tube or any other tube type into my amp until and unless ARC formally announces its approval. Period.I don't know why ARC is ... | |
| Need new tweeters for Focal 1007Be Peter .... agree that OP should not swap any other driver or component into his Focals unless a genuine Focal part. As I said above, "[n]ot suggesting that the OP use anything other than a Focal tweeter. Just curious about pricing."Still scratchin... | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? Al, Zd... and George ... I realize that the more recent posts are speaking to burn in of cables and power cords. What are your views about electronic gear? FWIW, ARC maintains that its gear requires a considerable amount of break-in. I'm not sure ... | |
| New VPI 3D Arm Stan (Stringreen), fwiw, I use one donut on the weight bearing arm of the AS device. It's very light ... hardly noticeable. I don't know if my rig sounds better or worse. All I can say is that the stylus wear pattern on my prior "main" cartridge w... | |
| Need new tweeters for Focal 1007Be This thread sparked my curiosity. Not sure where Scan-Speak drivers are made. Maybe Sweeden. Anyway, here's a link to the Scan-Speak on line store. I think the quoted price for their Beryllium tweeter is Kr 3,465.00 (inc tax). If the currency is K... | |
| Need new tweeters for Focal 1007Be Dorado ... is that $950 for just one tweeter or a matched pair? Even if a matched pair, what does Focal do ... encase the tweets in gold, platinum and diamonds? Paradigm manufactures its own drivers, including beryllium tweeters for its Signature ... | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 Rich,Don't think the Ref 75 can be used as a mono blocks. Given the high sensitivity of your speakers, the Ref 75 should have more than enough muscle. I only mention the Ref 150 if you think you may change out your speakers for less efficient jobs... | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 Agree with Mabonn. If you think you may change speakers at any time in the near future, you may want to step up to the Ref 150 now, the Ref 75's bigger brother. Anything more than the Ref 150 at this time is like swatting a fly with a 1000 ton pre... | |
| Father's Day For An Audiophile My kids bought a 180 gram reissue LP of Dave Brubeck's 1959 or 1960 record, "Time Out." Does that count?It a wonderful record and I enjoy it a lot, especially since my kids bought it for me. | |
| New KT150 tubes? Tsushima1 .... very interesting bit of news ... but I'm still not dropping those pickles into my amp until ARC says it's ok. Why the wait? Dunno. But until ARC sprinkles pixie dust on the KT-150s ... not in my amp. | |
| PSB Synchrony vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M Partialresponse ... as I said, I have not heard either speaker. At the risk of encouraging others to start suggest their pet favorite brand and thereby overwheliming you with TMI, let me put out there the Paradigm Signature line (v3). Specifically... | |
| PSB Synchrony vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M Partial ... do you know whether PSB is using beryllium dome tweeters now. If PSB does ... it will be joining the ranks of Magico, Focal and Paradigm. Sorry I can't respond other than to say that beryllium tweeters are very special. If PSB is using... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Wolfy ... you'd be quite fortunate if it was JUST the tubes. Unauthorized tube use could cost you the amp. Who in their right mind would willfully and knowingly abuse their ARC amp by using tubes that weren't sourced from ARC. Shocking!!! Sorry if... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Wolf .... I am VERY, VERY upset. Nola Speakers used KT -150 tubes in a Ref 75 .... So far, because KT - 150 life testing is ongoing, Nola may (??) have used the tubes without an ARC pixie dust sprinkle. I may turn this over to ARC for disciplnary ... |
