| What to fill Skylan stands with for Harbeth SHL5s Any clay kitty litter will do fine. I just got a pair of Skylan 4 post stands for my Monitor 30's, filled them about 2/3 full, 5 pounds per column, with unscented store brand kitty litter. I've been using kitty litter in metal stands for years. It... | |
| Any Zydeco recommendations? I'm glad you liked the Putomayo cd Michael, and that it was appreciated by that sophisticated lady. Come on now, what did you think of Rosie Ledet? | |
| Carver Power Amps What is very typical of this thread is the level of ignorance. Gmgood, I agree about Bemopti's long message above - I was going to respond simply "LOL." I explained above that any experience with Carver products designed by Bob Carver and marketed... | |
| Carver Power Amps Ritteri, I see this is a worthless exercise. Here I am, trying to help you, and you ignore much of what I say. First off, the Carver A760 puts out 380 rms continuous wpc, with both channels driven, from 20 hz to 20khz, regardless of what you belie... | |
| Carver Power Amps Ritteri, with respect, and I'm just trying to give you some information here, you are trashing a product that you apparently know nothing about. The A-760 was rated, after considerable testing, at 380 wpc, rms, both channels driven, into 8 ohms, f... | |
| Carver Power Amps 'tis true the Harbeth C7's are pretty easy to drive, but they do appreciate power, at least up to 150-200 wpc (not sure what they think of more), and the chief strengths to my thinking of the Carver A series amps are stability into real speaker lo... | |
| Any Zydeco recommendations? Beau Jocque (note the spelling of the pseudonym) died in 1999. Can't see him. | |
| Any Zydeco recommendations? Putomayo Presents Zydeco is a terrific sampler and introduction. Then individual cds by the artists represented there. If you don't like Rosie Ledet's You're No Good For Me ("I want you so bad, I want you so bad, and Baby, that ain't good"), you m... | |
| New preamp or other suggestions? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Bryston preamp. It is not the source of any harshness you hear. Probably the speakers and room. | |
| Meridian 506 version..what do I have?? That's an interesting question. Why don't you know? If it never went back for warranty work, my guess is it's the 20 bit version. My 506.18 has the 1.12 version software only because it went back once. | |
| Weight vs Wattage vs Current vs Slam vs Value Well, Julian, you did not disclose up front that you are a dealer, and then you made a favorable comparison of something you sell. It isn't as unseemly as it might have been only because the Carver is out of production. And, of course, you didnt m... | |
| Weight vs Wattage vs Current vs Slam vs Value Say Julian, how did you measure "bass control"? And, btw, you are a dealer of Ampzilla amps, are you not?The older Carver M series amps, designed by Bob Carver, did not put put a lot of current and weren't as strong as their watt ratings suggested... | |
| Rotel 1090, Bryston BP-25 or Krell KRC-3 pre-amp? The Bryston is perfect. Any harshness you hear will come from something else. If there is something in your system that you are trying to counteract, however, neither the Bryston, nor either of the other two preamps you mention, will do that. Some... | |
| Tony Furtado, check this guy out Nobody answered the question above. He plays banjo and slide guitar. "Within Reach" is a good cd, but I bought it only because, at the time, it had the only recorded version of Alison Krauss doing "I Will."He is a very good musician if you like th... | |
| Physical explanation of amp's break in? LOL. I said? My words? Hardly. You said in your first post above, Sean, that "anybody that tells you that components don't break in or 'settle' is either UNEDUCATED [emphasis added] about the subject at hand and throwing out a guess at your expens... |
