| Rogue Audio two new integrateds Great or Same old? Chrissain, I love the Rogue 180 monos; are you auditioning the Pharaoh to make a change or to see what Rogue has come up with in their new design? | |
| Mac question Lindisfarne, The first question should be is when you insert the thumb drive into the mac, does an icon appear on the desktop? | |
| How to remove harshness from my digital gear Good comments from Audioengr regarding CD read problems, but as a Redbook man with an ARC CD5, I find it ironic that as the demand for CD is dying, the mastering and production quality of a CD is at an all-time high. (very high quality for jazz an... | |
| Rogue Audio two new integrateds Great or Same old? I can't speak to the high pricing of the Pharaoh, but the Sphinx is an "entry level" unit and according to Rogue's website, the Pharaoh is vastly superior. Balanced XLR inputs, higher quality caps and electronics, I'm assuming a larger pwr supply.... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Have read nothing but good things about that amp. | |
| R.I.P Slim Whitman Talented, but the late nite TV commercials had me thinking "is this guy for real?" Yes, he most certainly was. | |
| Amp/Pre-amp Bridge 101 I'd say use the receiver as a preamp into the power amp...and use a good pair of cables. This will provide the cleanest sound. Don't start messing with y-cables of questionable quality.Go with the purest signal. | |

| How to remove harshness from my digital gear There is a rumour that Raysonic has folded; There is still a website, but no dealers listed online. Well reviewed gear, you should contact Raysonic Canada. I was looking to buy one of their CDPs, but couldn't contact anybody. | |
| What is your preference, Records or CDs? Marakanetz"CD is obsolete and records are collectible."Not the whole truth... CDs are now collectable.Just look at prices for some used CDs.Sorry to interrupt the thread; I had to say it. | |
| Class A Watts "You can talk to any amplifier manufacturer and they will tell you the same thing- that fact that their amp can double power into 4 ohms is not the same thing as saying that the amp is sounding its best into that impedance. "Oh, I totally get that... | |
| strange microphonic sound after amp is turned off Tubes can give off strange noises when new. If there are still low hours on the tubes, it might be one of the tubes "crackling." This happened to me for a short time and at random. | |
| Class A Watts "The why of it is that all amps, tube or transistor (or class D) make more distortion into 4 ohms as opposed to 8 or 16 ohms. This distortion is audible as increased brightness and loss of detail. Put in a nutshell, if **Sound Quality** is your go... | |
| Polk Audio I've had the same attitude toward Best Buy as most on this forum. I've only gone there to buy a TV or air conditioner. But if they're getting into more high end, what's wrong with that? Granted, it's entry-level "audiophile" gear, but I'm shocked ... |
