| Insolvency Nice (and generous) post Cornfed. Craig | |
| Straight wire with gain???? ......it's the journey that's important, eg I have no illusions about actually creating the "live performance" in my 12' X 14' listening room. I agree with Liguy-- glad to see you here Kelly-- there for awhile I thought you may have burned some Ag... | |
| My Poop theory by kublakhan I like Bluenose's approach, and also Paulwp's. There are taxes, up-grade the system, and death. But really, sometimes when I find myself in a "stereo slump", I (try to) work harder at finding new and interesting music-- or it can be old and intere... | |
| Passive bi-amping works ? Supakit; biamping with a 4 channel amp is probably breaking new ground. I have read that "sometimes" bridging channels does not improve music quality/character. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Passive bi-amping works ? Like other things audio, it's controversial, but like mono-blocs, bi-amping allows for use of (potentially) very short speaker cables. Many claim significant improvements with the use of short speaker cables.My amps will be back from SMc Audio (fo... | |
| Would I benefit from biamping? Hi Mcne; can't answer you yet, but maybe in a couple of weeks. I've had the same questions you have, so I just decided to "do it". My McCormack DNA-2DXs are now at SMC for upgrading and matching for passive vertical bi-amping.Both Vandersteen Audi... | |
| Best AES/EBU I have a Levinson front end, but preferred the Cardas AES/EBU to Madrigal's own digital cable. | |
| Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos Hi Eldon; your input is certainly useful for Mapleshade cables. BUT, if you want to try out other shorter spkr cables, at some point you've got to "pay the price". I have used 14 ft. Syn. Res. cables for years, but I'm going to bi-amps, and could ... | |
| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding Hi Bob; Thanks for the detailed report on the Syn. Res. MCC, I've been curious about it for a long time. I only have two pairs of shielded ICs, so I probably won't go to the MCC, but the Mini power supplies for shields certainly seem to be worth i... | |
| Men/Women/Audiophiles .......as usual, we don't know which the "on" button is??? Cheers. Craig | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? Hi Tommy; I'm sorry I can't help you, but you've maybe helped me. I have a pair of McCormack DNA-2DX amps that hum at various levels. I've talked to Steve McCormack about this at length, and he says that most likely there is DC leakage into my AC ... | |
| new amp vs old amp Hi Ampzilla; Sean has a good list of possibilities above. One I would add is becoming very, very familiar with a particulat recording with one of the amps. I mean get so familiar that you are almost sick of it-- then put in the other amp and see w... | |
| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding Ikarus; thanks for confirming that I wasn't having a "placebo moment". Anyone else out there with experience with either Syn. Res. Active Shield Box or these new "Mini" shield devices. Thanks. Craig. | |
| Trelja in New York Hi Joe; Thanks to you and others for reports on the NY show. It's interesting to note how many exhibits you thought were somewhere between poor and not very good. We wouldn't have heard that kind of candidness from Reps. of the big magazines. Do y... | |
| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding ........I should note that I've only used the Mini's a couple of days, and so don't know if there is a "break-in" factor. I will report back if anything significantly different happens. Craig |
