| Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s? Anyone aware of the "charge the room" theory of subs? Although it might seem like another example of "audio mysticism", it appears to be real. Listen to music that has seemingly no bass with and without a (well designed, like a REL) sub. Without i... | |
| Powered subwoofers running into power amp? It's hard to imagine he found a mixer that doesn't have balanced (either XLR or tip/ring/sleeve) outs...but I will conceed it's possible, amigo. That said, if he's that unsophisticated I doubt he understands any convoluted explanation regarding ca... | |
| two 10's or one larger subwoofer? My trusty 10" driver REL Q150E sounds amazing (with Silverline Prelude mains) from a 1 foot sealed square box, verifying that they (REL) know what they're doing. I mean really...I also have couple of pro bass rigs with various cabinets: An Eden 15... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow I checked...they were the Q5s. | |
| Powered subwoofers running into power amp? El redundo amundo. "Loading" of the low impedance balanced signal from a pro audio mixer to the balanced inputs of pro amps in the real world is nearly non-existant, and nobody who mixes shows (like me, for decades) worries about this even when us... | |
| Cable re-burn in Can excessive gear burn-in lead to burn-in burnout? Can you be burned by listening to non burned-in gear? Can burn-in lead to burn up in extreme cases? If you lower the temperature of a listening room does your cable reverse burn-in? Is reverse bu... | |
| WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE LINN K 9 CARTRIDGE? I stuck a Sumiko Pearl on an Akito and it sounds AMAZING...inexpensive little gem. | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Were those the Q5s? Maybe they were...I'll check...if they were the Q5s, please apply everything I said to the Q5s, and not the Q7s if in fact that's what they were. If they were the Q5s, they were huger than I remembered, and if the Q7s are huger... | |
| Kelsie/KAVD/Kavent gone? That's too bad, and makes me wonder what happened to whatever gear was left over, although I assume it was sold someplace. I also hope that anybody who repairs Vincent stuff could fix my preamp if it ever needs it since it has "Vincent" printed ri... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow I heard the Q7s at Goodwin's gigantic room. They are (like all Magicos) a completely insane design and I'm glad they're out there, just like I'm glad somebody makes Bugattis. For my final opinion (on the Q7s) please have 6 people squeeze 'em into ... | |
| Powered subwoofers running into power amp? Actually...plenty of powered bass bins (Mackies for example) have a "pass through" feature that will work exactly as you described. I've sent stereo signals to a powered sub equipped with SIGNAL outs from it to pro powered main speakers, and it wo... | |
| jolida fx10 If it's a "desktop" setup it maybe makes sense, but a used (or even new) tube integrated with more watts per side (like a Jolida or Primaluna something or other) can be relatively inexpensive, sound similar, and allows you to get some real juice g... | |
| Digital Emperor has no clothes Yeah...a LOT more fun. | |
| Digital Emperor has no clothes Tonyangel...your system IS high end, I bet it sounds great, and you clearly dig it...I have the same sort of stuff and have had a similar reaction to HDTracks...hit or miss just like everything else in art and music. I checked out some Magico Q7s ... | |
| Digital Emperor has no clothes Are we having fun yet? |
