| ADC SSX IV Cartridge... Any Info Out There? Well, there is one for sale on Ebay right now, it says that it is a MKIII body. I went looking again and found that it is similar to an XSMIII.... So many ADC cartridges and so little info. Thanks again Raul for your response. | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Hi Marty, "Active digital crossovers (and room correction) are a more recent innovation, so there's been some recent technology developments out there, but Tim's point is mostly taken" Back in 1980 we were experimenting with the stk086 chip u... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? I have kinda stayed away from this thread, but as I think it through, hopefully my input will hold some merit.... "Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends?" Thousands.... Really, in the big pic... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation around 3k (I need more power!) Coda fits the bill.... Unison 3.3 or a newer CSI or even Newer CSIB... All are very similar, If you can find a Unison, it will be more like $1100, the CSI/CSIB will tap your budget, but in all cases, your looking at 300 into 8 ohms and 600 int... | |
| Caps for the Crossovers on Bozak Symphony B-4000 Hi Andy, Hopefully you found someone to do this. If you haven't and have an interest, PM me. I could probably do them in a couple of weeks. Tim | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? I've had a few things from them and have seen them mentioned in other forums. My overall impression is that they build decent quality stuff with designs as best that they can figure by some of the big names. A small dac that I purchased for my bro... | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? I don't have solid answers for you, but I do have an experience to share which I believe is a partial answer. I wanted a better dac that got me into better ES9018 chip. I purchased a kit and did all the work. After speaking to an old friend who... | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker Hi Rob, I understand the post, but for me, some I agree with and some is the opposite. I agree with tonal balance and the texture of music that brings timbral realism, but an important part of pulling me into the music is seeing into the sound... | |
| ADC SSX IV Cartridge... Any Info Out There? Thanks Raul, Yes, I've seen those, scoured the internet, haven't found much. I'm hoping somebody out there might remember.... The Laser Sticker on top will most likely catch someone's memory. | |
| Why is an XA30.5 a bad match for Revel Ultima Salon II speakers? Hi sboje, I haven't heard these combinations, but overall, I can't imagine why your Pass would not drive either of these speakers. The problem is that these speakers are both 4 ohm relatively low to medium sensitivity (86db) and both require a... | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker In my mind an Audiophile is a person and a speaker is a speaker. Of course all speakers are not Audiophile worthy, so I understand calling a speaker an Audiophile speaker, but beyond that, not so much. Analytical vs Musical?A detailed speaker th... | |
| B&W 801 crossovers Vivant, as far as your question... I don't know about the casters. On the crossover, If the components are mounted on a board and hand soldered, you need to just cut the lead after the protection circuit and reattach the input behind that circ... | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp I have already mentioned it, but the SST Ampzilla 2000 mono blocks are in the league. These are worth a listen. No, not the same, but they do portray a fine line between tubes and solid state and truly are wonderful amps. Will they shaq's cup... | |
| Defining nominal impedance Hi jimspov, You'll need to try both. Any speaker has a huge impedance peak at the resonance of each driver and most have some significant dips afterward. So according to Wikipedia, that should mean its lowest dip, my experience is that Nominal... | |
| B&W 801 crossovers I have not been inside of any of the upper end B&W, so I've not posted on this until artsensiva posted the crossover schematics.... These crossovers are well thought out in general design, but the mid tweeter has a protection circuit that has... |
