| So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers I walked in to a local dealers and found a mint pair of Divas with a very realistic price. I use to have Duetta Sigsyears ago and knew what it took to make them sing. To get the best from Apogees you have to work at it, they are not plug and play.... | |
| Infinity RS 2.5 speaker placement I had a pair of 2.5's for quite a few years. I replaced their vintge tweeter & midrange capacitors with modern polypropleans.They image better when not too far from rear wall due to rear tweeter; I had mine 41" (wall to front).Lower bass was g... | |
| Amps that are "forward" The Electron Kinetic Eagle amps have an immediacy that produces music (especially vocals) like you are describing.They also have killer bass. I'm kind of drawn to this kind of sound too. | |
| ARC LS25 mkII noise level The hum/hiss is also speaker dependent. The higher the sensitivity of the speaker (92db vs 87db example) the more likely you are to hear the hiss. | |
| HK Citation 7.1 & 5.1 "pop" when turning on or off I would start by cleaning all your RCA plug connections.Does the pop happen on all speakers? If so, start at the receiver or preamp. You might also try swapping IC's out too, just remember to power down first.I have a Citation 7.1 and there are re... | |
| Best Matching Power Amplifier for Quad 2805? I had a pair of 2805's and found they did not like my tube preamp and SS poweramps. I eventually used a passive preamp and a pair of Quicksilver V4 tube amps that played very nicely.The guy that purchased my Quads came over to listen and we connec... | |
| Audio Research LS-7 LS7 upgrades suggestions I think tube rolling, Hexfred diodes and new in/output caps will make a very nice upgrade. But the limiting factor in the LS7 is the power transformer which is rather small.I had the LS7 but moved up to the LS22, the transformer is twice the size ... | |
| Dbx lps I have a Decoder, send an email if anyone is interested in it. | |
| Subs: DIY Kit vs. Martin Logan I was just considering the exact same two subs! The Rthymik sounds (reads) good, but by DIY woodworking skills are seriously lacking and resale value would greaty suffer.As you know there are sub cabinet vendors (and cabinet makers).The better way... | |
| Threshold 550e power amp fuse help ? Normal is the same as fast blo.However, I remember the Threshold amp I had used longer fuses than what is common. | |
| Should I upgrade from Sylvania 6DJ8 to better tube Each brand will 'tailor' the sound somewhat.Amperex is a nice overall tube, but there are those made in Holland, USA, Japan,etc; they will all have their own characteristics...which makes tube rolling fun.Some tubes will give a warmer sound, some ... | |
| Sony KD-34XBR960 or Sony KDS-R50XBR1? If space is a factor and you have to sit close, the 34" is great, however; if you want a larger picture and more of the 'theater' experience than the 50" SXRD can only be beat by their 60" set.I have the 60" SXRD and there is no way I can go back ... | |
| Klipsch Vs. NHT I have the Klipsch RF7's and they make a great home theater speaker, very dynamic.You can also get use the RF5's if space is limited.Even though the RF7 have deep tight bass, you will need a sub for your home theater to sound it best for movies. |
