| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? I was kidding(about everything)! The Skin Effect(time/phase anomolies) generated by using cable that large(without it being constructed of "Litz" type wire) would be unbearable. Then of course: It would need to be braided to avoid inner and outer ... | |
| Class A, AB OOPS- I should have said, "Most Solid State amplifiers". | |
| Class A, AB Most amplifiers are called "Class A/B" because the operate in Class A at very low power outputs, then switch to Class B operation at higher outputs. A 100 watt amp may put out 5 watts in Class A, then switch to Class B above that level. Even the m... | |
| behringer reference? With regards to your point "b", I reiterate: I've had to use Same Day Music's liberal return policy a number of times. That "number of times" was a direct result of reliablity issues. IOW: The gear either stopped working, or stopped working proper... | |
| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? Thanks for that wondeful insight Mr P. I just got back from AutoZone where I purchased two pair of jumper cables. Based on your empirical data and profound wisdom: They should really perform great, and add a macho touch to the system as well. Now-... | |
| behringer reference? People call Behringer equipment, "cheap" and/or "cheaply built" because it is. Why do you suppose the front panel IS, "a bit cheap and plasticy"? In the venue installs I do, my cheaper customers always get Behringer. It's the cheapest and easiest ... | |
| When did you know that music was your passion? I was 10 when I discovered what "FM" meant on my parents'(who never listened to music) DuMont AM/FM/TV(B&W). That would have been 1958. Shortly after, Brubeck came out with 'Take Five' and I was hooked on Jazz. Four years later: I started play... | |
| 300b amps bettering the midrange of the Cary 300b Enjoy your music! | |
| Audio Magic Stealth XXX Purifier What's funny is that the thing doesn't FEEL like there's ANYTHING in there when you pick it up. When UPS delivered mine and I lifted the box: I wondered if they forgot to ship it. Sure do work though, don't it? I'd like to have mine upgraded, but ... | |
| Reaching the top and stoping The only thing in my experience that will never be replaced is LIVE MUSIC! Of course: The equipment/acoustic treatments we utilize in producing/listening to that is constantly evolving too. | |
| best 4.5" midrange drivers under $1K I agree with the AT Flex-Units. You may find this driver's frequency response/construction hard to beat: (http://www.solen.ca/pdf/audiotec/4h521306.pdf) | |

| Altec Lansing A7's 50's model Altec still supplies parts(diaphragms/woofer re-coning kits) for the drivers to all their authorized repair/warranty stations. Waldom Electronics supplies re-coning shops everywhere, and parts that will make the woofer LOOK original, but it will l... | |
| 300b amps bettering the midrange of the Cary 300b Mr F: Regarding caps in the power supply(like that 1000uF): The more capacitance, the greater the dynamic range/headroom of the amp. If I were going to mod the power supply: I'd find Sanyo OS-CONs(http://www.diyparadise.com/oscon.html) of the same... | |
| 300b amps bettering the midrange of the Cary 300b The output transformer's low turns ratio(8:1), it's quality and circuit simplicity of the Cary will always keep it in the lead sonically(WELL- someone is certain to outperform it eventually, BUT-at what cost?). In these forums you'll find a lot of... |
