| Why does my receiver volume go from -db to +17db If I had to guess I would say that 0 db is unity gain. Anything less than 0 the preamp is attenuating the gain of the source and anything greater than 0 the preamp is accentuating the gain of the source. | |
| DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO LISTEN TO TEKTRON I think you mean Tekton. There is an Italian company called Tektron. They manufacture tube amps. | |
| Opinions on ARC VS110/Ref110/VT100mkll/VTmklll That Ref 110 is priced in Euros. Assuming the seller is legit it will probably run you somewhere around $4300 with shipping. That would still be a very good price if the seller was in the USA. The Ref 110 is the way to go. Be patient. One will sho... | |
| Paypal Unable to edit previous post. "justified in do so" should read "justified in doing so" | |
| Paypal Polk, let me see if I understand you correctly. I have no problem with the buyer paying for shipping. I have no problem with the buyer paying PayPal fees as long as there are other options, (personal checks, money orders, wire transfers) and the b... | |
| Paypal I think the OP is complaining about sellers who charge more than the actual PayPal fee. I've seen many ads were the seller wants 4% for a domestic sale when PayPal only charges 2.9% + $.30. That has bothered me for quite awhile. I don't charge for... | |
| Help Trying to choose new speakers $1500.00 used? The Pendragons start at $2500. The Lores start at $650 and go up to $1400. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I can see where the Lores may not be enough for your room. I'm in a 22x14 room with the speakers on the long wall. I sit around 8.5' from the speakers and my sofa is right up against the rear wall. I went from the Lores (which I loved) to the P-Dr... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I'm glad you're enjoying them. If only I had a bigger room. Oh well. Looks like my loss was your gain. My Lores arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier. Everything is right again. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore My Lores arrived today. These are my second pair. With 95% of the music I listen to the Lores were fantastic. I got greedy and wanted the extra 5% so I upgraded to the Pendragons. To make a long story short, the Pendragons didn't work out for me. ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Gpowered-Did you use the the 4 ohm or 8 ohm tap with the Xindak and the Pendragons? I wasn't aware they were 4 ohm speakers until 3 weeks after I placed the order. TIA. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I own the Lores and I have to agree with Cwazz on this one. I think 30 may be a bit optimistic. If we're talking about a flat response I think 38-40 would be more accurate. Anything below that and the bass starts to roll off. That being said, most... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Cpapace - How big is your room? I have the Lores and ordered the Pendragons. I hope my room is big enough. My room is 22 x 14 x 7 with the speakers on the long wall. The speakers will be about 3' from the front wall with one speaker about 6' from ... | |
| Higher-Fi has full page ad in dupont registry Nice catch Samhar. I've long had my suspicions and I think this may have proven them. Check out my post on AA on his McIntosh and Higher-Fi post. I'm RSF. | |
| Complete 2.0 System for Under $3k? Someone is asking for help assembling a system on a budget and you tell that person to "find another hobby". I don't think that is very funny and I'm sure there are many other members who feel the same way. You should be ashamed of yourself. |
