| Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System? Tim,My understanding is that inverting one of the woofers would further reduce bass energy. I did try it but did not notice a difference. Probably because I lucked out and placed the woofers in proper positions from the get go. Inverting two woofe... | |
| Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System? I had used Duke’s AudioKinesis Jazz modules for many years and was always intrigued by the Swarm. I actually took a slightly different route. I use a 4 woofer array the concept of which came from Roger Modjeski at Music Reference. The boxes have a... | |

| joule electra vs. atma-sphere any input? Unfortunately, pubul57 passed away sometime ago. He was one of the great contributors to this forum and his presence here is greatly missed. | |
| Cassette Deck Repair Roger Modjeski of Music Reference/RAM Tubes (Tube Audio Store) can fix it. He has worked on many different decks including Nakamichi. The shop is in East Bay in San Pablo. The question you need to answer is whether it is worth fixing. In my opinio... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Hi Al, hopefully you already knew this but to be clear I was not attacking you, it was more a reflection of my opinion of Paul McGowan's comments, which I'm not even going to bother to take the time to address. I think George's comment says a lot ... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi The direct drive amps I will use won't have output transformers and will put out 5000V to the panels. I've heard them in another system and cannot believe the clarity. It's really scary. Also, good for you for calling out McGowan and t... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I am not sure why I have decided to post on this thread but I figured maybe something I had to say might add some value. I really don’t care why someone might prefer added gain in their system and who might not. Go check out this thread and figure... | |

| Are spendor speakers competitive in sound quality to KEF, B&W, ProAC, Audio Physic Spendor were my first foray into high quality speakers and historically they are a top British speaker manufacturer. I have owned the 3/1, 7/1, and 1/2e (twice) all from the Classic Series of days gone by (versus the Classic Series of today). I wo... | |
| How good is the Artisan Fidelity Lenco 75?? You could do a lot better than the Joule for a phono stage, especially at the asking price. Take a look at K&K Audio. | |
| Please Read and express your feelings and opinions.... @analogluvr The TRL and APL HiFi threads focused on their respective digital players/mods, although both made other components. There was bad blood between the two principals of each company, the effects of which trickled down into the fan base. S... | |
| Please Read and express your feelings and opinions.... It is what it is. I read few things on here anymore and participate in significantly fewer. That being said, those Tekton fan boys have nothing on the TRL vs. APL Hifi fanboy threads. Those threads were legendary and make today's seem tame in comp... | |
| Music reference/ audio research / vpi @bdp24 - Roger designs his circuits with various tubes in mind. It's the interaction of the tube within that circuit that allows for his design to achieve the flattest frequency response and lowest distortion possible. So from his design perspecti... | |
| Music reference/ audio research / vpi As an FYI, based on what Roger has told me, 6BQ7 tubes haven't been manufactured for a while, so technically they are all NOS. While they are branded as RAM tubes, the stock Roger has are RCA, GE, or Sylvania, |
