| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? OP (explain to a 3rd grader) some of these responses are for physics majors) I was ASSUMING your speakers had a removable jumper, AND their internal crossover was designed for OPTIONAL Bi-Amping (or bi-wiring). EITHER leave jumper installed: in... | |
| Heavy Vinyl other technical issues are involved, for simplicity: Faster Speeds yield more physical material to record the content. Tape: 3-3/4; 71/2; 15; 30 ips, each increase in speed yields twice the magnetic material to record the same amount of content,... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? unsound my words were dumb, I had 3 dr appts, wife was waiting, usually I have too much time, read all responses to learn stuff. This time, I wanted to send a quickie idea. I don't understand the crossover stuff, however, MANY add self-powered s... | |
| How are we wiring our Mono systems? Real Mono is the Real Deal One of the reasons I went to two tonearms is to have a true Mono Cartridge mounted, calibrated, ready to swap arms from a Stereo LP to a Mono LP in a listening session in seconds. i.e. Oscar Peterson (so many greats mad... | |

| Heavy Vinyl yes. 45rpm is better, LP needs to be quiet of course. Less content per side, which is why 45 lost to 33 except juke boxes ... Ry Cooder, by the river, with an Indian master, learned about it here. | |

| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Someone here scheduled a vacation for himself and wife near them, and pre-arranged a visit/tour/listening session with the owner. Then, dream on or ........ | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Probably been mentioned, I didn’t read, too many replies. Bi-amping with matching amps is of no audible value. You could Bi-Wire (if that is what the speakers are designed for), that is a different concept: use 1 cable construction for mids and ... | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature rcm1203 Most short delays at startup are built-in safety checks, my McIntosh SS Amp, mc2250 had a test sequence; My Cayin Tube Integrated AT88is like yours, nothing possible for 30 second check; and my Little Luxman Tube Integrated has a 30 se... | |
| Heavy Vinyl Several 180 gm lps arrived with warps, a few I had to return, I'm not buying them anymore. You are correct, I don't hear audible improvement. One trend I have seen is selling double lps, and having content only on 3 sides. I really dislike that... | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature zlone Yesterday, I listened to some favorite music at a friends warmed up tube system with his new to him tube preamp. Sounded great, different and we both think better than before, AND he got remote volume and remote balance, Oh Happy Day. That ... | |
| Antique Sound Labs When/if you try them, use a Variac to slowly bring them back to life https://antiqueradio.org/Variacs.htm | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature "casual listening for a short time" Your system is going to sound darn good 2 minutes after you turn it on. Try it. Play something favorite, involving I bet. Wait 30 minutes, play again. How much ’More’ involving? The practice of waiting 20, 30 ... |
