| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test?? Good thread. I appreciate this type of discussion because it provokes good technical insight as to speaker reaction due to various impedance variables and damping factors. I have ZU Definition IV speakers driven by Macintosh MC60 amps. The impedan... | |
| Can I Live With A Hardwood Floor? SAC in Thailand has some isolation transformers that won’t break the bank. They are balanced transformers like the BPT series or the Equi=Tech and also have the added capacity of variable step up or step down transformer to change voltages. I disc... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? Having spoken to a couple of manufacturers about their amps it seems that the use of low or zero negative feedback can leave an amp vulnerable to slight hum. | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black I'm a big fan of active bass in a speaker. It does introduce some complications as to placement but it sounds like that really hasn't been a problem for you. | |

| Improve volume from turntable with a new cartridge? Tough to coax a vinyl system to sound better than CD. Tough to listen to CDs once you do. The vinyl obsession is expensive. Like a very beautiful woman, you have to know that even if you can swing it, it's going to be very expensive. | |
| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile There is a Doshi Alaap that recently listed on this site. $5995. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Charles, Phil,I do believe the recommendations from the two of you have considerable merit. Recently was able to hear SET amplification for the first time at a fellow music lover's home and came away impressed. Along with the suggestions you prov... | |
| What year did tube lose to SS I was a heavy listener when it happened, probably 69-70. It brought down the cost of watts considerably and those inefficient speakers often came to life. They certainly weren't as musical but at that time we were attempting to break windows and m... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? I use Star Sound under my speakers and amps, but Herbies under my rack. So very different for the two. Definitely better in each case, but It's probably system and room [floor?] dependent. | |
