| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Tubes were the biggest improvement in taming my 801Ns. Made the mids and highs much more listenable to me. I still use SS muscle for the lows tho.Bill | |
| Bi amping question Use a VOM to check the resistance between the two sets of posts. If they aren't isolated from each other you don't want to try biamping as the two amps will interact. | |
| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? It is hard to mentally compare now to many years ago, and while improvements each may have made significant changes in sound, they don't covey overall level changes of the type the OP asked about.My best memory of what really significant change h... | |
| Long lost songs Glad to help w/Water's Edge. I have the American Standard cd.My own lost song story goes back to college days at Cal Poly. I used to hear this looong song late at night on the campus FM station. For 30 years I wondered about that song until one... | |
| Long lost songs Hi 2channel8Could your song be Waters Edge by Seven Mary Three?Bill | |
| Good Bass Recordings on CD for Subwoofer Testing Billy Idol Charmed Life. Prodigal Blues. Pressurizes the room. | |
| SME Tonearm Question I went through the same thing about 20 years ago. Bought a new IV.Vi through a local dealer and there was no cable in the box. My type III came with a cable, and I approached my dealer and complained. His response was that cables were no longer... | |
| Preamps with two main-outs I too am baffled. My Mac C100 has two outs which I use for biamping and if I power down one set of amps the other keeps working. There is no separate control for individual outputs, both are always going.Bill | |
| Tube vs Solid State I biamp my 801Ns with solid state and tubes and am happy with the results. The biggest issue was balancing the amps. My amps don't have gain controls and the SS amps had to be padded down a little as the bass was too strong. Adding the tubes to... | |
| 12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair?? I have done so. Many years ago, but in memory not that big a job. Cut a 7-foot cable into halves. Per Shadorne, with the necessary tools can be done neatly.Bill | |
| Old JBL recones missioncoonery-thanks for the response. A quick look on EBAY reminded me that there are foam surround repair kits. Might be the ticket.A senior moment is what I'll claim.Bill | |
| Old JBL recones Thanks for the responses. I have relayed this information to my friend, and he is very appreciative. I think he will contact the local-to-him Berkeley facility first and work outward from there.This was my first large speaker system. 2215's w/p... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately I've been a Mac fan since the sixties. Couldn't afford it until the eighties. I used to read the US stereo mags, particularly Stereo and HiFi back then, and I remember that around 1970 or so, Mac stopped being mentioned in the magazines. The s... | |
| Rock with strings I don't know how well it fits, but It's A Beautiful Day used an electric violin and rocked out.Bill | |
| KRELL FPB 650M MONO BLOCKS ..? I have no experience with Krell and cannot comment on your specific question, but when I bought my 801Ns I had an MC7300 that at 300W/channel I thought would be fine. It wasn't. Replacing the MC7300 with a pair of MC1000 monoblocks made a big diff... |
