| Old vs. New Older gear (within 15 years or so), if not abused, can save you a pile of money...I use a new preamp with a well regarded circa 1997 or so power amp and it sounds amazing and cost a LOT less than a new amp with similar specs and build quality. Plu... | |
| XLR cable for basic beginner I recant. After more time in my system I decided to take the Mogamis out. Too bright! *sigh*...I'll put 'em back in the effects rack and move on. See? Ya never know! | |
| XLR cable for basic beginner I was recording the live audio for a weekly cable music/interview show and, although using perfectly acceptable pro mic cable, I tried a better mic cable one day. Mogami Neglex with gold plated Neutrik plugs. LARGE improvement on nearly every leve... | |
| Hearing Damage over 20khz? Frogman is right. This is exactly why analog sounds different from digital, and live instruments often sound sweeter. I have a piano in my listening room, and play acoustic and electric guitar (for over 45 years...boy are my fingers sore...) so my... | |
| Monster Cable To sum up: Use Ivory soap, not Monster cable. | |
| True Headphone AMP? My girlfriend walked in and caught me on my computer hanging out in a room full of HEADPHONE ENTHUSIASTS! Or, "hey Bob...are you forgetting to iron your tunic or are you a headphone enthusiast?" Or "a priest a cowboy and a headphone enthusiast go ... | |
| True Headphone AMP? I bought a little tubed Bravo V2 headphone amp (cute) recently and drive it from a set of unused single ended outputs on my preamp. It allows the use of the preamp remote volume control, works perfectly, sounds great, looks cool (the amp, not me n... | |
| Stupid question Red is only positive if hooked up as positive, and if left not hooked up to anything, it's nothing at all. | |
| Vibrapods to Preludes I suppose my woofers are so small and fast the "pods" haven't confused 'em...besides, the heavy lifting of low notes is done by a REL sub that shall remain podless. | |
| Vibrapods to Preludes The reason for my thread was to see if anybody else has recently tried this "Vibrapod under the speakers" thing. Well? Has anybody? Somebody at a high end "Salon" mentioned "energy storage" as a possible issue so I've been checking the pods for ex... | |
| Cartrige for vintage Marantz TT The Audio Technica 440MLA is amazing...and you can still find one at a pretty cheap street price. | |
| Audio Research LS17 to Headphone Amp? I use an otherwise unused set of preamp outs to my headphone amp so I can control the volume with the preamp remote...am I clever or what? Call it a "variable line level signal", but do it. Do it now. | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers Well designed small woofers like the 3.75" magnesium/aluminum ones in my Silverline Preludes (second/current series woofers with slightly larger woofers than the original series) can sound amazing...d'Appolito amundo! Proper porting/box loading an... | |
| REL subwoofer selection T5 T3 or R series My REL Q150E might bt too old to mention...but I guess I just did. Another one just sold on Ebay so I guess they're around....they sound amazing...10" sealed MOSFET front firing...fast and sweet, inexpensive. | |
| Phono Preamp Recommendations I love the Cambridge 640P. It has made me a better person. |
