| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 .......any "negotiating" of what is included in a genre has to be done with the Horned Bugger. IMO, Alison Krauss is one of those artists who successfully performs in Blue grass, C/W, Folk, and probably Pop too. Best of Luck. Craig | |
| Please explain what balanced out puts are. ........I'd just add to Jfrech's comments that XLR is the type of connector that balanced outputs/inputs uses. RCA connectors (the most common kind) are the kind "single ended" outputs/inputs use. The XLR inputs you see on your amp would be inputs... | |
| ASC Planar Trap Hi Dave; I have 3 of the ASC Planar Traps and find them useful for controling high frequency reflections off side walls and other highly reflective surfaces, ie I have one in front of a large hardwood dresser and two on sidewalls. I don't think th... | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? I agree with Sugarbrie's philosophy and use a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 pre-amp (6 tubes) and a SS McCormack DNA2DX Rev. A amp. The tube pre is not much of a hassle (BTW, it's in for up-grade to SE as I write:>) and I even look forward to some "tu... | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Yeah........tough on me too. I'd have to have everything from soft, acoustic Delta to high NRG Chicago Blues, with some Texas, Memphis and everything in between to survive.KP; No habla (sp?) Please advise.There are quite a variety of "confessions"... | |
| Are you an Audiophile or a Music Lover: Take 3 After serious thought, I'd upgrade my listening room-- eliminate a window, put in thicker wall insulation, thicker or double sheetrock, reinforce floor etc. etc. etc. As David99 once said we're all "neurotic, two channel, sweetspot loners" (hope I... | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? Sugar has a pretty good solution to this dilemma-- must be either a lawyer or used car salesman;>) Would the horned bugger allow this? Cheers. Craig | |
| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? I have a helluva satisfying stereo system but only 1000+ CDs, so I would go for the music-- as long as I can replace my pre-amp tubes once in a while. One of the most exciting aspects of this sport to me is finding excitng new music/artists. A goo... | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? Aah! the "Crossroads"-- seems like I've been there-- at least in my nightmares, and of course the movie-- great soundtrack by Ry Cooder;>) Seems like some above have changed the rules of your game, ie you specified "boombox only" for listening.... | |
| PS Audio Juice Bar Steve McCormack once recommended the JPS 4 outlet unit to me (it comes with a good quality JPS power cord attached). I no longer need one so I didn't buy it. It's about $500-$600. I would expect it to be a top quality product. Craig | |
| Isolated Ground electrical outlets ??? I have an isolated (separate) grounding system for my five dedicated outlets. It consists of three 6 ft. copper rods driven into the ground in a triangular pattern, and it's within 10 ft. of the outlets. I had the electricians install this as part... | |
| Rock albums that sound good on your system? I'll 2nd Gregm's comment-- great post Albert-- Thanks. Cheers. Craig | |
| Amps Questions Help Imagine a pair of mono-bloc amps built in ONE chassis, and with one power cord-- that's what a dual-mono amp is. A mono-bloc amp has only a single output-- to just one speaker, whereas a dual-mono amp has outputs for two speakers (left and right) ... | |
| What's 10 Volts between friends? Well said Kirk, and I totally agree-- and with Glen and Albert too. I had five 20 amp dedicated lines and good quality outlets put in two years ago and consider them the foundation of my system. Cheers. Craig | |
| If you had 10k for pre and power amp but you had .........Swampwalker's right, a $2K amp with an $8K pre-amp is quite a mis-match,IMO. |
