| How important--matched tweeters on Snell JII Of course you have to match the tweets -- to a reasonable degree at least. Just ask the vendor to do it -- it;s not rocket science:) | |
| XLR or single ended cables and why? Tvad sez:however XLR should prove quieter on very long runs or in set-ups where many cords come in contact with each other. Exactly. Plus the common mode rejection (i.e. "noise" that is common to both sides of the channel is cancelled out). Often ... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? There are some extremely high quality RCA connectors available just as there are very poor balanced connectors. As always YMMV No, no Audiofeil. I wasn't relating to mileage or to "sound" -- rather, to the fact that xlr clicks on and that rca are ... | |
| What phono preamps are balanced Among those I know -- Asr, Klyne, clearaudio, rowland are. But really Pedrillo, why don't you just check these peoples' web-sites?? Cheers | |
| LSA speakers? OK, right. Didn't know the BBC LS is the dk owner. Thanks. | |
| LSA speakers? Is there confusion? LS3-5a is the code name of a '60s BBC spkr design for monitoring inside recording vans.LSA is a brand name used by "dk designs". They make amps and spkrs (asaik). | |
| single drive speaker for VTL IT 85 integrated any suggestion of (single-driver) speakers that can play both chamber and orchestra music wellTall order for a full orchestra. Either look at spkrs like the Yorkminster or Canterbury (Tannoy) /Pi speakers OR compromise on the full Mahlerian orch &... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? *Bsic balanced is slightly more expensive for obvious reasons (complementary circuits)*Balanced is useful because you just have to match circuits -- not components (so easier to implement linearity) + you get common mode rejection.*Of course, in b... | |
| Help me make the best arm-cartridge matches Raul - I agree but, unfortunately, Simon Yorke doesn't sell separate tonearms (ASAIK).THSALMON: Oh my, what misery! You've just acquired one of the best TTs available.You should add a Schroeder of choice (the Ref is good but expensive). In which c... | |
| amp match Probably the Plinius 250. I say this speculating on "matching" with the Aerials -- not personal ownership. This said, I also "like" the Plinius:) | |
| CD Players – life of laser I can only say that playing life for (quality) lasers is usually spec'd at 100.000 hrs. That's a long time! | |
| Full Range Speakers for a Small Listening Room Well, following yr data it looks like full-range choices would be corner loaded speakers -- & I'm not too sure you have enough room there either.Most probably you'll have to opt for a good pair of satellites + (two) subwoofs as Duke hints abov... | |
| I've come to the realization... I still need something much smoother or laid back in the 5-10k hz range than any of these designs, + added warmth in the lower midrange wouldn't hurt either. Methinks that's a spkr/source voicing matter rather than connecting wires. In other words... | |
| Old NAD for ten bucks- to be modded or?? You could change the electrolytics & add bypass caps. Make sure there's enough space, however, before you go out buying huge audiophile approved caps at $1k/each:)Clean the transport mechanism. Leave the laser lens alone.Good buy! | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix OK, thanks. I thought the drive units were embedded in the wall. |
