| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? I had a problem with Sibilance with my Perreaux amp...the T's and S's sounding much too harsh and opaque. Then, a guy from this site named Sean who is a professional sound engineer set me up with Mobile Spec interconnect cables that were fifteen b... | |
| Who R U? 29 years of age, living in DC and working for a development agency that markets subsidized health products in "developing nations." I'm regularly traveling on the Congo, or developing malaria in some far off corner of the universe. I was a Peace C... | |
| smoothing those sibilants... Again ladies and gentlemen, the cheapest and best sibilance busters I ever heard were Mobile Spec Performance cheap as hell RCA cables. At fifteen bucks a pair you should really give them a try. Talk to Sean on this sight to get set up with a pair... | |
| Need interconnect advice Hey guys, All I know is that they made my Perreaux amplifier sound twice as good with a stunning reduction in Sibilance. When I recontacted Sean in amazement, he revealed that he is a professional audio engineer who works with some big bands and u... | |
| Need interconnect advice Do yourself a favor and try Mobile Spec Performance cables. Unfortunately, I don't know where they are sold, but I'm sure that you can find them on the net. An audio engineer here on Audiogon named Sean set me up with a pair to quiet sibilance in ... | |
| BI-AMPING Another really good crossover is the Marchand Electronics. They make solid state active crossovers and tube crossovers for high end applications. I know that they also offer a kit, if you're handy with a soldering iron. | |

| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I think it's also kind of interesting to see how good a system you can put together on a limited budget. To give a little hope to those here who can't spend as much as a Mercedes on audio, I'll put my system out there. It's not the last word in re... | |
| DBT: Audio Industry's "Mortal Enemy?" Good points all. And I'll add the most obvious one to it: One man's trash is another man's treasure. Last night, I was at a friend's house listening to his system. He has taken the route of a more neutral sounding system (ala Sonic Frontiers and P... |
