| Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier? I've noticed HF ringing in my ears during speaker break-in in at least one case in the past, but can't recall ever noticing that with any amps I've used. But, EMI/RFI in the room may be playing a role, too, possibly...making the break-in effect of... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Looks very much like the same tweeter used in the Motion 20 and 40XT, but not the 60. The 60 tweeter looks like a larger version, possibly. The Wavetouch tweeter is the Dayton AMT2-4. You can look them up at Parts Express and also see the graphs a... | |
| A whole new meaning to "live" music Are you shure there were no signs of a mouse?? Maybe after the first cannon shot of the last time you played the 1812 Overture, the little guy exploded and that's all that was left of him... | |
| Which Caig? I think ProGold is their 'sealant' formula that protects for a few years (unless you're unplugging and replugging a lot) which is very conductive and remains so...can be used on any metallurgy. I use that and Deoxit D5 first to clean. The D5 is th... | |
| For Your Amusement, or Dismay... Geoff, "Just because a 75 year old dude is a mastering engineer doesn't necessarily mean his hear extends beyond 10 Hz".His DSD masters are the bomb though.update: ...if you meant 10kHz above, not 10 Hz | |
| For Your Amusement, or Dismay... I thought it was, all things considered, a pretty good article, at least by journalistic standards anyway. One thing I did like was the focus they gave to the mastering process in all this. This angle usually ends up getting overlooked in forums l... | |
| Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance Broadstone, I went through the reliability issue too when researching before buying. From what I read, most of the failures were on firmware revisions 1.1 through 1.4, thereafter they began to show at least some indication of being improved enough... | |
| Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance Broadstone, I agree that the DEQ would be an excellent solution for you. I have a Ric-Schultz(EVS)-modified version I've used, until very recently, since 2007 that I'm getting ready to sell. I can let you have it for $250 + shipping, if you're int... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Hi Chriswil, you make some excellent points. How we do we truthfully determine, each for ourselves, which makers are overrated?...when the truth of the matter is that because of what you say (rightfully) about manufacturing, material and developme... | |
| Gently used cassettes Correction - the 5-packs are not TDK, I meant to say Maxell. | |
| Gently used cassettes Hi Phasecorrect, I have: 3 (type II) TDK SA-90's,4 (type IV) TDK MA-110's and two 5-packs of (type II) TDK XLII-90's,All purchased sometime between 1993 and about 2000 or so...all in their original shrink wrap and never opened. They were always st... | |
| What speakers for 10k? After_hrs and Simao, Although, with regard to my post just above and in the interest of fairness, I suppose I should point out that the quote about the Wilsons I believe you're referring to, Simao, was not that they "blow the Wilsons out of the wa... | |
| What speakers for 10k? After_hrs and Simao,"Again, I imagine Wavetouch are quality products and that their designer is a passionate and devoted craftsman and technician, but the way these things are being trumpeted, you'd think they're the second coming of hi-end audio.... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Simao, Yep, I know, I may well sound a little Too enthusiastic at times, and I apologize if I come off as schill (not really my intention though). But, I've been as motivated to find end-game speakers as some of the others here, it's just that I h... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Jughead, I think the Parasound would be a good match, since the GT's are so efficient it may seem like more power than you need, but it means you'll likely be doing much of your listening in class A territory...unless you really want to crank them... |
