| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker I will clarify; the bridged AHB2 drives the Kingsound King III ESL much better than a stereo unit alone, or two stereo units in passive biamp mode. As the discussion of the thread centers around bridged operation, I don't believe I have stated the... | |
| What kind of gear do you listen to Mars with? Totally manipulated non-event, in keeping with the B.S. search for life on other planets. Gotta speed up the clip 100X to make a listless breeze like emitted from a heat register, sans furnace motor/fan noise, seem impressive. What a joke. Maybe ... | |
| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? Here is a different option for you, and for panel fans...Read my review of the Redgum Audio Articulata Integrated. One of the most unusual products I have encountered in terms of design, but the manufacturer is uniquely skilled. This integrated d... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker I had mentioned in my review that the AHB2 is not able to drive the Kingsound King III electrostatic to an unlimited level of listening. However, there is no degradation of sound as the amp is pushed to its limit, and there is no degradation assoc... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. Use them with the foam? LOL I hope you are successful, or else they need to be returned! ;) I know, I'm a big help. No way to teeter totter them by putting cushions under one end, then lifting the other and kicking more cushions underneath to ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic My responses from manufacturers, designers, etc. in regards to the suitability of trying, and the efficaciousness of Schroeder Method has covered the full spectrum. Some laugh it off, while others discuss potential issues that they feel the Schroe... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed To clarify for bob, barnettk, and other interested parties, initially I was warning against use with amplifiers as it was a complete unknown in the field. Now, I have built several systems from integrated DAC to amp, or preamp to amp using the Sch... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Elizabeth, I'm not sure what you are referring to when you stated, "After reading the article. my main criticism is they did this with just one component, a relatively low priced device. And that they assumed the not broken in device was not broke... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed barnettk, thank you for the complement. I used to be "hard headed" many years ago, then decided to try things rather than give an opinion. There have been many surprises, and what I learned about burn in was among them. Currently I am engaged in a... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed barnettk, I predict you will hear no difference in the recordings. Why would I say that? Because I did my own set of comparisons between "burned in" gear and new gear. While you wait your additional 400 hours you can read my article at Dagogo.com ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I have been looking to update this thread with recent activity. Steve from Audio Sensibility has been sending me Y cables, both RCA and XLR, for assessment and write up. That is underway. He has also been working on a Schroeder Method double IC wi... | |
| Kaboom Audio??? bird fan, what a lovely post! Kudos on bringing joy to people! I hope that your Stereo Bombing works! | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. mrdecibel, just a clarification; I am Doug Schroeder and I write for Dagogo.com, not Doug Schneider who writes for SoundStage. We often are confused by audiophiles. A few times a year I get emails asking my impressions of a component I reviewed, b... | |
| Legacy Aeris and amplification. Wait! What? You're going to a custom Legacy "monitor" sub combo? You don't sit still for too long, do you? :) We must talk, give me a call when you have time! | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. Nice story! Glad you made good on it! :) |
