| Room Correction Hardware options ? Mr N- The "stock" unit comes any way you order it. Are you planning on bi-amping your system? If not- the 2.2 is not what you want(it's designed two drive two woofer channels, as well as the main channels). Whether the 2.2 or 2.0: They can be conf... | |
| Room Correction Hardware options ? Since you didn't mention a desire to bi-amp, here's a page that offers info on the TacT RCS 2.0(download the free review): (http://www.avguide.com/products/product-477/) If you have no nulls that you'd like to bring up to level(highly unlikely): I... | |
| Room Correction Hardware options ? No doubt about it: The TacT 2.2XP! The Rives is an excellent PASSIVE unit, that will bring down peaks, but can do nothing about nulls. The TacT allows one to place the actives woofer of one's bi-amped system in the corners of the room where they c... | |
| I need some speaker help Addendum: Yes- The alternative is a much more efficient speaker system. But at 92db/1w/1m the DT 7002's are already fairly high efficiency. How big is your listening room? With 200wpc and 92db efficiency you should able to generate some fairly hig... | |
| I need some speaker help I agree with the first two posters. From the damage you are sustaining, it sounds like you are clipping your amp and need more (clean) power. Amplifier clipping will take out tweeters(and/or x-over caps) regardless of the brand/quality of the spea... | |
| popping sound with new 6922 tube I agree with the above statements, but would add one note: If you do buy a tube tester- get one that checks the tube at full operational voltage. Some anomalies(IE: anode to grid breakdown voltage) won't show themselves at reduced voltage levels a... | |
| Does a Postal Money order need to "clear"? The last two banks I dealt with charged ME $30.00 each time MY TENANT wrote a bad check TO ME. If an individual purchasing an item chooses to not use Paypal or Western Union(as one of my European buyers did), he can wait the few days that it takes... | |
| bi amping question Mr F- That's why I asked what sound appeals to you more: There are some NOS 6SN7/VT-231's that offer a very lucid/dynamic(transparent/accurate) presentaton, and then some that are somewhat warmer and relaxed(euphonic). It could save you some $$ to... | |
| Comparing Integrateds by Primaluna and Cary Mr K- You got me on that one. I got my wires crossed between the AE offerings and PrimaLuna. And I've been a Cary user for over 6 years now too. Shame on me!! | |
| Comparing Integrateds by Primaluna and Cary Dennis Had's second string components would be a much fairer comparison for the PrimaLuna line(they are built in china as well): (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/view_category.asp?cat=29) | |
| Treatments or therapy - what on earth.. funny I thought the explanation was perfectly clear, especially the treatise on using small mosaic tiles as acoustic damping. He also explained the mess in the bowl as his response to sound of the system(vomit). | |
| does temperature affect speaker performance? Here's an interesting site that can provide a lot of insights with regard to venue acoustics and temperature/sonic speed: (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/sound/souspe.html) Of course the lower humidity in the winter time will affect so... | |
| Low Noise Tube Suggestions Hi Stew- As Mr M stated: 6201's are drop ins, and actually just another designation of the 12AT7 family as are the ECC801S, ECC81, CV4024, etc. Yes- Upscale Audio is an excellent place to shop for top quality tubes(I've purchased my output tubes f... | |
| Low Noise Tube Suggestions The Telefunken ECC801S and Siemens ECC81 tubes were built and specially selected(low noise) for the German Telephone Service. Most 6201 tubes are also built with extra mica and other low-noise features. I've got a NOS matched pair of 6201's that I... | |
| How to fix "hum" in Carver Preamp & Hafler Amp? Given the age of those components(Over 20 yrs), the power supply caps have no doubt seen better days. I start there, and replace them all. |
