Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection
Yes, now I'll have to learn how to best adjust the sub to mate with my new speakers. I'll be starting a new thread on that subject soon. 
Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection
Well, it turns out that this is the way to go, Al. I hooked up the sub using splitters at the pre-out connections on the Nova and it sounds fine. When I tried this earlier I think it was during a time that I was also having trouble with one of my ... 
Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection
Thanks again, Al. I agree and will make those connections again. It's certainly the most straightforward approach. Also, because the subwoofer has its own room balancing capability I don't need to rely on the EQ to do that adjustment which is one ... 
Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection
ZD and Al, I'm always glad when you guys respond to my concerns and I've applied your advice more than a couple of times. This one, though, is a bit scary and I probably could have provided more information for you to consider in the first place. ... 
Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection
I appreciate the comments but I'm still having problems deciding how to go with this. I'm getting conflicting information not only from the Internet but from Peachtree Audio and Polk Audio as well. Peachtree says the only way to feed to the sub is... 
Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors
Yes, Beemerrider. It makes sense and sounds pretty good. Btw, I just parted with my 8th BMW. 
Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors
Beemerrider, Thank you. My situation with this partial wall to my right seems (I think) to dictate consideration in toeing requirements and I'm assuming that some toe in is necessary to reduce the influence of that surface. I found also that movin... 
Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions
Mechans, the Cary amp that I want to try hasn't yet become available so I haven't had a chance to try it. The request for advice, though, wasn't meant to solicit "what if" hypotheses; I seriously wanted to know if I might expect to hear a tube inf... 
Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions
Al, I have a call in to Mr Goka of Divergent Technologies to get what I can from him re this subject of sensitivity as well as his recommendations for upgrades or cap replacement for these 2 decade old speakers. I'm actually afraid to mess with th... 
Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions
Atmasphere, much of your advice given to me in the past on this subject was during a time when I was committed to my ML's but now that I have started using these Serie Reference 3A's and I'm pretty sure I'm staying with them. These have an efficie... 
Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions
Czarivey, input sensitivity for the 300SE is 0.75V for full output. The best I can determine is that the pre out voltage of the Nova is much higher than that so it seems that it should work. ZD, I really don't know enough to make an informed decis... 
Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions
I just got some info on the amp. If my understanding is correct, it essentially consists of a single chassis housing two Cary 300 SE monoblocks. I'm not at all familiar with tube specifics nor do I know the model number of the dual mono-block unit... 
Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions
Thanks, that's good to hear. A friend has his eye on a used Cary SET for me (don't know the model yet) that it looks like I'll be able to audition in my home. I'll post the results. Also, I've pretty much decided that I'm keeping the 3a's in my sy... 
Audiophile Club In South East Florida.
Rediculus, you might want to contact Larry at Hollywood Sound. Relatively equidistant from Miami and Pompano Beach areas but a stretch for those in the Palm Beaches. Like I said, though, I'm willing to drive pretty far. 
Recent sound deterioration shrillness, ringing
Thanks, Kijanki, even though I only sort of understand your explanation as it might apply to my situation your reference to switching inspired me, for some reason to look look at my interconnects again as possible culprits. This may be because, be...
