| A future city dweller's dilemma... Keep the Maggies... At least until you have moved and tried to use them there.Maggi fans do not take to other speakers easily!! And if I had to do what you are doing (but I have always lived in an apartment) I would try to fit the Maggies into my ... | |
| Weights on a preamp I have dampeners on all cases. Some are heavy, some just size 10 rubber bottle stoppers.It is 'nearly free, and I like it. I make no claim that it makes any difference... Though I do prefer the sound with them on... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? In concrete terms:Low end: (The audio moron) Bose, "all in one racks", wire from Best Buy, any audio equipment from Best Buy, Any audio equipment from Walmart, Any audio Equipment found in a Goodwill store.For example: Bose 5.1 speakers, $300. rec... | |
| Hum from speakers using splitter Perhaps the plug you use for the phones has the 'usual' contact system in which the ground pin is a 'sprung' type. It is probably touching another contact inside the connector when the headphones are unplugged. My suggestion is to buy another male... | |
| Class A, AB I have a Forte 4a which was advertised as a "class A" amp. The amp is biased higher than usual. It is still NOT a true, pure "class A" (100% class A operation)It uses the most electricity idling! More than when playing, and thus is HOTTER just sit... | |
| How much longer will CDs be made? Warning: a decent transport is needed for a dac to sound good. Not just any old cheesy transport will do....Keep your Sony. | |
| How much longer will CDs be made? Listen to your wife. The stuff you now have is good enough. The BlueRay player will also still be able to play your Cds. | |
| State of the art speakers from yesteryear. Infinity Reference Series. 1980's Take up an entire wall... needs great gear to use.. | |
| Bookshelf speakers and complex/orchestra My experience with the quest for 'separation' has been good.I tend to believe the real control of this is in the amplification. If from an LP, then it is also part of the phono preamp. But the amp is the key to clarity.I have B&W 805s on B&... | |
| Risk in owning used McIntosh amps? You can have them serviced by MAC, just not under warranty.I am pretty certain it must be via a dealer. So check out the local dealers before taking the plunge. | |
| Picture discs - Collectors items? Picture disk LPs were considered to be of inferior sonic quality. If they were played much of the 'collector' value was lost anyway. They were a 'novelty' item, for fans of the artist or group. About as useful as 'bobblehead' dolls.They appeal onl... | |
| Shielding Speakers Your getting enough electromagnetic radiation that your lifespan may be shortened?Aside from that, the problem is not in the speakers. The wiring is picking up stray radiation. It may be cable, from the AC wall, or from the speaker wires. I would ... | |
| how much to offer friend for records Difficult! Agree the problem of selling under pressure is going to make it tough for you in the long run.One thing I would suggest: Offer to "sell them back" if he changes his mind! This eases the parting, as he then can think that he 'could' get ... | |
| Just Purchased Infinity RS2B / RSIIb owned RS 2.5 The crossover is a five way: bottom 2 woofers, then the top and bottome EMIMS, then the middle EMIM, then the 'open' EMIT plus a rear EMIT, then the 1/2 covered EMIT.The two outer EMIMS ARE different frequency band than the middle one. | |
| Just Purchased Infinity RS2B / RSIIb owned RS 2.5 I had owned (from new 20 years) a pair of Infinity RSIIa. (the same as your IIb except yours has stiffer woofer cones and stronger EMIM magnets)Yes it has an 'EQ' box. but, that only enhanced the low frequencies... Any EQ box can do that.The EMITs... |
