| Accidental improvement in performance...cheap I agree with Aball completely. I love stuff like this and I'm absolutely not laughing. Got a small asymmetric listening area in a finised basement ... alcove with wall corner near my left channel speaker, open on the right channel. We've got an ai... | |
| Best Towers Under $4,000 / pair Have you considered anthing from Totem Acoustic? (Hawks or Forests, in particular)? | |
| Hifi Tuning Fuses Thanks for the input Tbg. You are right. I'm using a "small" HFTF. Pricing for the larger HFTF is more. | |
| Hifi Tuning Fuses Tbg - I wasn't aware of Isoclean as an "audiophile" fuse option prior to your post. Thanks for that. I did a little internet searching and came across a review of them by Albert Porter. Whether he or another, the reviewer did prefer them over the ... | |
| crackling noise at high volume OK, Eldarrford, Thanks for the input...amp power rating greater than speaker program rating doesn't eliminate the possibility of being able to drive the amp into clipping. | |
| crackling noise at high volume Eldartford - Can clipping occur even when the amp's rated power output exceeds the max program rating of the speaker? I thought clipping occurred when the amp "ran out of power" and sent a damaging "flat top" sine wave signal to the speakers. Seem... | |
| crackling noise at high volume Sandman - From the mftrs' web sites:Bryston B60 rated at 100 wpc @ 4 ohms.Totem Arro 4 ohm, 87 db sensitivity, 80 watt max. programDoes seem like you could be overdriving them. | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? John of Sunnyvale...I don't know what the concensus is, only what I've been doing. It probably takes me in the neighborhood of 10-15 seconds to steam one side of a 33 1/3 LP. I start near the center using a Tupperware-type lid to protect the inner... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Crem1 - I was trained as a bacteriologist, did graduate work in microbiology and have been employed as a microbiologist. I'll be following this development with great interest! | |
| Expected hours for JJ Tesla KT88? Not to unnecessarily prolong this thread but I had another JJ/Tesla KT88 tube failure yesterday. Adding bitterness to the pill was the HiFi Tuning Fuse the tube took with it. Amp seems fine but I could do without these extra costs. The KT88 that f... | |
| OUCH My Dynaudio's have crashed.... I'm not familiar at all w/Dynaudio. Have you considered Totem Acoustic?...Forests to be specific. Distance from wall would work for you (in my opinion). Also, well within your price range. Best wishes finding repairs or a replacement. | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers John Bonham - Force of NatureGinger Baker - GB and JB thought the were in a jazz band...w/EC as Ornette Coleman or maybe J Coltrane...can't remember.Keith Moon - Force of Nature 2Ringo Starr- Mr Self Control; a great percussionist...not simply a d... | |
| Zerostat? Any Other Good Options? Piedpiper - I "googled" Permostat...appears to be a liquid/spray type vinyl treatment to eliminate static. | |
| Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers? Rosedanny - I've benefitted from some posts you had placed previously. Hope I can return the favor. I think Bob_reynolds response gets to the heart of the matter. FWIW - I'd been running a Yamaha R1000 receiver (from the early '80s) for many years... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Creml - I had the opportunity to visit Berlin in Sept. '07. What a beautiful city. Really enjoyed it. To make matters even better, there's a great music shop ("Cover") on Kurfurstendamm Strasse with lots of vinyl. Unfortunately, folks there indica... |
