| Musical Fidelity A3.2 Integrated vs. others Suits me your right. Must have missed the 1.6 when posted. | |
| Musical Fidelity A3.2 Integrated vs. others M-F uses bi-polar transistors. They produce high current but high frequencies are harsh. MOSFET's like in Creek amps are softer and tubelike but not quit as transparent or powerful. J-Fets are said to be better than both but I don't know of any co... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Off? This has not been possible partly because new / improved stuff comes out so fast there is always the temptation to upgrade. But to slow the m-g-r I suggest:1) Learn to read and understand specsA lot of stuff measures so bad there is no way I ... | |
| speaker with good low level detail RAW Acoustics and other designs with FR-125 for as low as $300 | |
| A couple of good cheap tweaks I think there is a thread here for cheap tweaks. Posting there would allow more people to learn these valuable tweaks. | |

| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? Sean, you seem to have a lot of knowledge about speakers but when I e-mail you with links to a bunch of different drivers you never respond. What gives? | |
| Less fatiquing I agree with Odavid9. Why is it that we always have to spend MORE money if there is something about the sound we don't like? | |
| Sound of chip amps / gainclones? Bemoptil23, I've got my Tang-Band W4-1320SA half way completed. They have a F-R designed for near-wall or O-B (open baffle). I also considered the FR-125 but has a 5dB boost to the bass and a correspondingly low SPL of 85 dB. Why loose efficiency ... | |
| Sound of chip amps / gainclones? Gmood1, good to hear from you. You got the patek from Peter Daniel's? From what I've read the LM3875 chips like a tube pre while a good T amp does better with a passive. I'm also looking at the Charlize amp. Which supposedly does not have the HF b... | |
| Wood cones - any experiences? I DISliked the JVC very much. Strange resonances seemed to unnaturally enhance the reverb in Chris Isaac's "Dream About You". Then again JVC electronics are pretty bad to begin with. Usually this is grain or brightness, not reverb. I like Denon UD... | |
| audiophiles or retrophiles What I don't understand is why people think you need tubes and vinyl to get that type of sound. I agree with KR4 in Stereophile9/2005 page 99 re: Almarro M0A speakers:"The speaker sounded like a SET amp. I never actually drove the M0A with a SET a... | |
| trying to upgrade speakers And you didn't consider the Spendor 8se's to be an upgrade? Maybe try the older Sendor 1/2's (there is a dealer in southwestern CT - not far from NYC) or the smaller version if they have it. I think this would give the bass and midrange you desire... | |
