| New preamp, loss of low freq.? Tube amps and preamps typically have higher impedances than SS. | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? George,From a design perspective, why does the McCormack have such a low input impedance? | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? George, Yes, the amp's input impedance is extremely low at 10kohm, and is not a good match for this preamp. But the preamp's output impedance is very low, so an amp with an input impedance lower than 47kohm can be used for testing, correct?If he c... | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? If the preamp is brand new I would give it some time to break in, about 150 hours, before you make any determination.Of course, listen to atmasphere and give it some time. But, what amp are you using and are you going balanced or single-ended? | |
| how can I make the back wall transparent? williewonka, that's the idea I had for an acoustic Crown Moulding. I was thinking of mounting a 2x4" length of wood as the foundation, and that's about as far as I got. I read that 1/8" MLV weighs 1 pound per sq. foot, then I googled "vinyl uphol... | |
| Bass driven floorstanders? PSB has deep bass extension. Synchrony or Imagine models $1500 to 2000 used.Similar in size to to Totem. | |
| Warm sounding power cord for for CD player to suppress digital glare on vocals. Need more info about your setup. Is it a dedicated CDP or a CD transport to a DAC? Preamp/amp, tubes or solid state, any digital cables? | |
| how can I make the back wall transparent? Nicely done, williewonka. Sounds like it matches the decor of the room as well.When I referred to a "type of crown moulding, " I was wondering if there was a way to use a strip of thick vinyl near the ceiling where typical crown moulding is always... | |
| New format, dislike..... Thanks, Al. I can now find it in Discussion Forum/"View My Activity," or "My Threads"/"7" or "14" or "30" days. That displays up to date threads that I have participated in.I have also just found that by hitting my ICON (in my case "L"), it displa... | |
| New format, dislike..... Under MY DISCUSSIONS, only MY last answer is diplayed in a thread. Why isn't that thread showing that others have added comments after mine?Has anyone else noticed this? | |
| Dynaudio Upgrade? The Focus 160 is a fantastic sounding speaker and may be worth buying at a good price if you're going to keep it for the long haul. The downside is your resale value will be very low. | |
| Is there any difference between a phono cable and a regular interconnector? Let us know if this works.Also, the capacitance of the cable used for a TT/cart/phonostage needs to be low. So changing to a new phono cable may not only have a different sonic presentation, but possibly might not be a good match for your cartridg... | |
| Is there any difference between a phono cable and a regular interconnector? You need a ground wire to use a TT. A typical phono cable has a pair of RCAs with a thin wire connected to them on one end; and the ground wire connects to a ground post on the back of the preamp or integrated amp.Since you are able to plug the Ki... | |
| I Dislike new format There still may be additions and changes to the new site. I’m sure the new software allows for it, also notice the FORUM logo still says BETA.I don’t like the high contrast background on the forum. I also prefer sans serif. | |
| Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k rose...When speakers are so wide apart (14'), you will not get the true "imaging" or "mixing" of the music. If listening to stereo while at your easel, speakers need to be closer together to hear the complete musical soundstage. Just a bit of ad... |
