You could:A. modify the existing crossovers and use switches to put them back to stock for full rangeB. get an equalizer and run your source through it before it goes into the integratedC. put a ... | |

| Tube rectifier or solid state Yes it's bad and yes different tubes sound different. Maybe not as dramatic as changing input tubes but it does make a difference.Many highly respected designers swear by tube rectifiers. One of the reasons is the slow warm up mentioned above, but... | |
| Speaker Help for McIntosh Tube Equipment I'm not familiar with the equipment being discussed so I'm not disputing the Klipsch recommendation. I'm just curious why you guys feel a 100W/ch tube power amp "needs some highly efficient speakers?" | |
| plauged by off center image, am I insane? El, I don't think you can compare a system with a center channel to those without. I think it would be almost impossible not to get a stable center image with a center speaker. I have no problem with how you achieved the result, but I can't afford... | |
| plauged by off center image, am I insane? I ran a test CD and it is centered. It doesn't bother me on instrumental music. Like I said, what bugs me is a fairly simple arrangement with vocal that you expect to be dead center in front of you and the vocal is slightly off center. Good point ... | |
| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question That's amazimg. I need to get out more. I have a recording of Tibetan finger bells, but I had no idea there was so much interest in the gong. | |
| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question El, can you recommend any audiophile gong recordings so I can test your hypothesis. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. You know, I really don't care about the output impedance, damping factor, frequency response, or any of those other measurements you guys are talking about as long as they are within reason. I care how it sounds. It was proven back in the seventie... | |
| I hear a random low booming noise . If it only happens while playing music at low volumes my first suspect would be the source. Do you have more than one source to try? Maybe a portable CD player you could hook up to see if it does it too? | |
| I hear a random low booming noise . Are you playing the 1812 Overture when this happens?Could you please be more descriptive? Does it boom when playing music or just sitting there? If with music, how loud. What do you mean by random? Could you describe the boom? I've never heard tha... | |
| How to equalize a bi-amplification setup? The Aleph 3 doesn't have balanced inputs | |
| How to equalize a bi-amplification setup? You stated "via balanced and unbalanced connection"If you are using the Aleph 0 in balanced mode and the Aleph 3 in unbalanced, that is your problem. The Aleph P has 15 dB of gain using the balanced output, but only 9 dB using the unbalanced.The o... | |
| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question Tbg, I'm not sure what was "contrary" to your experience. I would only ask you to try it again. Play track two and see if the image is centered when he tells you it should be. If it is, reverse the cable on one speaker only and I believe it will b... | |
| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question Tbg, it really is one channel out of phase (actually inverted polarity) with the other on the recording and then the two channels are in phase. If you reverse the wires on just one of your speakers the image will be centered when he says the signa... |
