| Why aren't the older members still active ? I got my first feedback in 2000, so must have lurked here for awhile before that. Didn't start posting until April 2001.I used to post more often but it seems like most of the replies I've written lately I just delete, as I don't think it adds any... | |
| Driving my Kappa 8's I had a pair of the original Kappa 8's & used the 565 mono blocks. In 8 years I never had a problem, except that when I purchased the amps I got an Adcom pre with them. I don't remember the model # but it didn't last a month. I wound up w/a Lu... | |
| First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc Again, don't get caught up in the watts game. I've had amps that were rated 100 watts & less that were better sonically than bigger pieces. Unfortunately, they are not in your budget, however, they are not out of reach either. My suggestion is... | |
| First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc 2nd the B&K. Very good sound for not much $$$That plus an inexpensive passive will come in at or below budget.Also, don't think in terms of watts=better sound quality. Better gear=better sound. | |
| How does the drum kit sound on your rig? I do some pro audio & drums on home audio sound like, well, drums on home audio. I've heard some really good systems that do an excellent job but most home audio falls short & some fall way short.The drum kit sounds OK on my system but esp... | |
| interconnects & powercords on subwoofers??? I can agree with the DH Labs subsonic cable. I used some quality Cardas ends & my sub sounds better. Still using the Carol cable 12/3 I got at Lowes for the PC. | |
| Preamp Recommendation for Pass Aleph Amp I had both the remote & non-remote version of these. I liked the remote version a tad bit more but the non-remote is a great piece too.I would say the signature was still on the warm side of neutral but not as much as the Aleph amp. Cords-way ... | |
| Hammond medical grade power strip mods I don't have the Hammond, however, I cut off the wall plug to my Brickwall & put on a gold Furutech end. | |
| Preamp Recommendation for Pass Aleph Amp My first choice would be Pass Aleph P.Had this combo but w/different Aleph amp.I like the VTL 2.5 & early BAT units too. | |
| Review: Luminous Audio Axiom Preamplifier IIRC, they are the same. I look at the difference between active & passive like stepping on the gas or the brake. If you were to connect your source directly to the amp it would play at full volume. With the passive in the way, it is still put... | |
| Meridian 508.24 Laser availability? Looks like they have changed the way they do business. I've dealt directly w/them when they were in Atlanta but not since they moved to NY.Maybe try & call them in the UK? | |
| Meridian 508.24 Laser availability? I would give them a call-that way you'll have first hand information.They used to be in Atlanta but moved to New York.646-666-0140 | |
| How to check an IC? Simply check for continuity-pin to pin then ground to ground, then check pin to ground to make sure there are no shorts. What this does is establish everything is connected correctly. On my rat-shack meter there is a setting for continuity. If you... | |
| Reading threads and posts when selling and buying I also read what folks have posted but don't usually look at their system when I'm doing a transaction. I don't think it's relevant to the deal but like a few others have mentioned in this thread, posting to the forums gives an indication of what ... | |
