| Using different gauge wire for biwiring If you slightly reduce the amount of energy to the top by using a smaller ga cable you are disrupting the balance of the speaker the way it was designed.Hifichic, I agree with the electrical theory but I question whether there would be an audible ... | |
| Using different gauge wire for biwiring Most internal speaker wiring is done that way. Also, some manufactured cables such as AZ Double Barrel use the same strategy (6awg and 10awg). | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound Well, this is fun.I would pay for someone to come to my home to tell me what is wrong with my system.Rtn1, my only questions are how much$, and where do you live?To me, Raks has it right...Im guessing Im one of those that cant tell a good sound... | |
| what was your wedding song? Sweet Love, by Anita Baker, [although Dead Kennedys should have been more seriously considered - good one, Richard stacy] | |
| Electrician's advice wanted: safely lifting ground Wow, what a great thread, I really like (and agree with) Elizabeth's rules for living, and who'd believe someone would actually quote Captain Beefheart. Way to go, Pehare. This thread has really brought out the "inner poet" in you two.Regarding gr... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Thanks guys. My speakers (Aerial 9) and amps (Clayton M300's) will do the bass if the preamp passes it through. My current Lamm LL2 does a fine job of that, and so did my TEAD Vibe/Pulse, although a bit less dynamic but slightly better defined tha... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A I have been looking for a new preamp and I keep coming back to the Herron 3A as one to try. The Herron has great features, which I would consider a bonus, although my only consideration is sonic performance and I really don't care about remote vol... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier The best buy I've found on Hifi-tuning fuses is from Acoustic Sounds:Thanks for the tip. That is the best regular price I have seen also. Too bad I just purchased 6 of them for my new amps. Usually, I wait for a Partsconnexion 20 percent off sale. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Hi rhyno,The ad for the new 2.2 states, The following are available as an option with the TP 2.2cv and 2.2cvB:A premium, stepped volume control for a smoother feeling pot, discrete steps, and even less variation between channel output than before... | |
| Sterophile's not so nice review of Bryston Gotta agree with Cmalak. One way magazines get around it is to pre-screen products and then only review those products that are going to get either a positive, or very positive, review. Since the advertisers primarily fund the magazines, and certa... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 vs DNA 225 upgraded In my above post, I reference a thread which should have been titled:"McCormack DNA-225 Platinum Edition Upgrades"(without the word "amplifier" after it) In that thread, the reviewer/poster states;I would recommend a transformer-based passive or v... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 vs DNA 225 upgraded I have heard pretty much the same thing Cmach posts above from Steve McCormack. However, your question is pretty much answered in posts made by Steve in a thread titled;"McCormack DNA500 and DNA2"You might also want to check out a thread titled;"M... | |
| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? 1973 with a Fisher set-up (not one of the classics). I will not count 6th grade in 1968 when my buddies and I bought transistor radios that we hid in our desks and ran the ear jack wires up the sleeves of our shirts so we could listen to Cream, et... | |
| Aerial 8b's to Aerial 9's Never owned the 8b's, but I have had the 9's here for several years with no intent to upgrade. Even at 90dB, the 9's are 4 ohm speakers (with a dip to 3.2) so they need some juice to sound their best. I would suggest a minimum of 100wpc @ 4ohms tu... | |
| tube pre amp plus solid state power amps? Suikang, The output impedance of the Cary SLP-05 preamp is only 400 ohms not 400K or 400,000 ohms. The input impedance of the Rogue M150 is indeed 200K ohms or 200,000 ohms, which is 500 times the ouput impedance of the SLP-05. Many say the ratio ... |
