| Describe the ideal high end audio dealership I agree with Pubul57. The ideals expressed in some of these posts would be wonderful for us music lovers and audiophiles; I'd love to know of dealers that are so flexible and customer-centered. I think it would be next to impossible for most deale... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? You have to admire the kind of honesty that would lead someone to discourage an "up sell" to an existing customer!Yeh, John S. is a down to earth person, and in my experience is not in the business just to make money on the next sale. I dealt with... | |
| Power Amp Doubling Output at 4 Ohm Is this an important parameter to you? If not, why not?It only became important to me when I recently bought my first pair of inefficient speakers that are a difficult load. (4 ohm 82-87db). Before these speakers, I never paid much attention to am... | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Acman3, the ATI is no longer in the chain. My gear is still settling in and first I want to hear where things are headed. I'll try to let you know. | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Al, I'll email you | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Al, Thanks for everything. I'm now using an ATI MM100 Match Maker between amp and preamp as a work-around of impedance issues and the added subwoofer's impedance. It sounds good so far in the signal chain but I haven't turned on the subs yet. | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Subs are Earthquake Supervova Mk12IV. I'll see what I can learn on the preamp outputs. | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Forgot to say the subwoofer cables are Blue Jeans LC-1. | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Thanks Newbee and Al. Al,I'm using 20ft runs of Blue Jeans LC1 cables which I learned from you are low capacitance. I believe the input impedance on the sub amps are 6k ohms. | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction I really don't like you Macdadtexas. It's taken years and I'm still not at the point of boredom because my system is so great that nothing more is needed. I haven't made it to audio nirvana yet. I've heard of others but not me and not my system. I... | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching My concern is the effect of impedance on HF or low end roll off. Newbee, my speakers are the Ohm Walsh 5000. I also have 2 powered subs that would be connected to the 2nd set of pre outs on the VTL so that plays into impedance as well. | |
| Amplifier Hum - A Problem Solved Compelling and informative story Hoff48. Sorry audio is a source of friction in your marriage, bummer. I'm getting ready to plug in my first amp in years today or tomorrow. Sure hope it's great and now I'm thinking I hope it's quiet! | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Agree with above. Who said Rolling Stone or their writer's opinion matters in the big picture? They're a few guys with their own opinions like the rest of us. That does not make them valid. And I agree with you about Steve Howe. As an old Yes fan,... | |

| PS Audio PPP I had one. Had high hopes but it didn't work out in my setup. The PPP is like every other audio piece in that "your mileage may vary." It works very well in some setups and not so well in others. Nice thing is buying it used means you can try and ... |
