| Speaker Cable I build my own speaker cables using cat 8 ethernet cable and adding spade or banana connectors. I use 24awg 8 strands 24 awg is equal to 15 awg. 8 x 26awg equal to 17awg. I would make both lengths the same (longer) length for flexibility in the... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues I see some small protrusions in the left cloth to ask about ergo 900 dc specs, two 8" woofers pair in mesa az | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues seems the 500 is similar 3 way, 12", level controls: except the 1000 have beryllium tweet/mid. replacing berylilium drivers could be hard and expensive, the ns-500m with conventional materials might be the better choice. 1000 is 8 ohms, sensitivi... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues Audiophile respect? probably not, I’ve never heard them, but check out reviews of these. I am a BIG fan of level controls to adjust them for your space, and these drivers are large enough for your space. yamaha ns1000 review just popped ... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues you are correct, the thiel 1.6 cannot do what you need, and especially in that size space. In your budget, you need to buy used, and close enough to avoid shipping, close enough to meet the seller half-way, or you go and audition them, yay or nay... | |
| Meeting up with members even where there is no sale DPReview site, https://www.dpreview.com/forums/1009 I am guessing far more members, makes private messages easier, and allows full sharing of personal info. there is NOT reasons not to allow it, except to prevent members making sales ou... | |
| Meeting up with members even where there is no sale I repeat: It is INSULTING that personal contact is blocked. I have made many friends on DPReview, two of them in New York State, we plan to meet and take photos together, I stay at one's home. Here, I have had to sneak like a thief to meet 4 fri... | |
| Subwoofer Out VS Subwoofer Crossover Giving both the amp and the mains a break, not trying to amplify low bass is what you want. .......................................... Stereo Pair of Self Powered Subs, line in/line out (minus low bass back to amp.) 1. self powered 2. front... | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? Related to My Fisher Executive 800C Receiver I traded it to a member here for his Vertical TT Project: combine two non-working Mitsubish LT-5V to one working unit which went well, now in my office | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? 3 more receivers I had over the years. Yamaha CR-1020, Receiver currently in Garage/Shop System Fisher 500C Tube Receiver (ready for sale) (VAS has 2nd one to align the tuner). I traded something for the 2nd one, can't remember what. ... | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? My Garage/Shop system was driven by this wonderful Tandberg 2080. my friend Wayne at Harvey's told me when it was hitting the used shelf. The connectors in the back pulled out, mostly my fault tugging in tight space. | |
| Going Tubing You will never know the whole story unless you go all tubes. Therefore, consider the end game now. Answer to your specific question: tube preamp now. | |
| Do Your Speakers have LEVEL CONTROLS or EQUALIZERS? (Vintage or Modern) ??? B&W 801 | |
| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. ghasley Yes all over the place; Yes, never heard most of the FINDs to consider, i.e. be aware of. I believe you can get more of nearly anything by carefully buying used rather than new. When I or a friend is looking, or just having fun hoppi... | |
| Do I need a phono preamp? Cartridge IS the most important. IF your phono sounds great; IF you can hear differences between cartridges, then I would not even consider changing the phono stage until you change the preamp and/or amp. I would consider these changes in the fu... |
