| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... Off the top of my head(in alphabetical order), Bugtussel, Fried, Meadowlark, and PMC.The Bugtussels look attractive, though I wonder about the cheap looking tweeters. I need to give them a listen. Yesterday was a good opportunity, as I was around ... | |
| Tube Amp Suggestions Agree with the comments on AtmaSphere, great amps, just not with these speakers. And, my experience with mine has shown me the Zero Autoformers that a lot of people will point low impedance speaker owners towards really bleaches out the sound and ... | |
| Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line Let's also not forget that while all Acoustic Suspension speakers (AS) are sealed boxes, not all sealed boxes are AS. When the compliance of the driver exceeds that of the air in the box (i.e. when the box gets larger and larger), this alignment i... | |
| Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line Sealed speakers beat ported speakers in the areas of transient response. Because of this, you don't get the port resonances and noise that blurs the sound. And, because of their slower rolloff, produce more deep bass. They are also the easiest, an... | |
| JD100 - can I do better under $2K The Music Hall MMF25 CD player is superior to me(at $400 less), as is the MF A3 lineage or the Carys of this pricerange.And, the Granite Audio 650 is the best I have come across at under $2000.If you are willing to buy used, look into the Electroc... | |
| Riddle me this: how is carbon a conductor? Lapaix, just to make things clear, there are only two forms of carbon - graphite and diamond. While I could joke about it here, the fact is that if it were a conductor, which it is not, I wouldn't be surprised if some high end audio company didn't... | |
| Anyone using baffless speaker with a full range? Bemopti123, I have also been intrigued by the Phy drivers, though I never considered mounting them as you are interested in. Please let us know if you do try it! | |
| Riddle me this: how is carbon a conductor? A material can be broken down into one of three categories, a conductor, a semiconductor, or a non conductor(insulator). Metals are conductors, which is why we often mistake conductors as having the characteristics of the good conductors(silver, c... | |
| Best Preamp Tube 12AX7 for Jadis Orchestra Ref I tried a pair of Telefunken 12AX7 my friend brought over, and we both liked the stock tubes best, also. It was kind of surprising, as he has tried A LOT of 12AX7, and thinks the Telefunkens are best. Still, the pair he brought over may not have b... | |
| KT-88 KT-90 KT-100 6550 which has the best bass? David, the Threshold were some of the finest solid state amps ever built. When I think of some of the junk sold for $10K, I realize how very intelligent people like you are. These new cosmetic heroes do not compare with the likes of what you have.... | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... Based on Onhwy61 and Eldartford's recommendations, I stuck my head in the freezer, and I swear my stereo sounds different now. I'm looking for a warmer sound, though. | |
| Ten Percent Distortion? Personally, while you can find a decent sounding component as BestBuy once in a blue moon, the stuff they carry is the antithesis of what almost all of us here are searching for.Distortion, watts, whatever. I found out a long time ago, these specs... | |
| KT-88 KT-90 KT-100 6550 which has the best bass? Yes, I now remember it. Sorry, but I needed you to remind me to bring it up.I think that the Houston at $300 is a no brainer. For less than the cost to retube a lot of amps, you are getting the whole kit and kaboodle. I think you should do very we... | |
| Ten Percent Distortion? I agree with vinylphile. | |
| Speaker Cables - Optimal Length Haven't really got into it, but some folks, like Mapleshade, claim that 8 foot is the minimum length. It may be true of their wire, and the opposite would be true for other brands, I haven't played with it enough. But, a lot of the things Maplesha... |
