| Most agreed upon best speaker? None of the above. All of the above. Dipolar? | |
| Amp for passive pre--more power or higher end? Notice too that sensititity is proportional to wattage ratings. Often, within a manufacturer's lineup, the sensisitivity rating goes down (up numerically) as the amps get bigger. Often, there's a difference in ratings between balanced (XLR) and si... | |
| Amp for passive pre--more power or higher end? NAD has some good specs (20K impedance/1.3V sensitivity/29dB gain) for passives. Not as good as Plinius, which would be out of your price range, but better than many.Do you have any idea of the output voltage and impedance of the Lite DAC? Any spe... | |
| How to hook up 2 amps from one set of pre outs? Simaudio has a "old standard" impedance of 47Kohms. Paralleling in the way you mention with, let's say two amps of 50ohms input impedance will halve that to 25K. This could be a problem with amps in the 10-20K range along with some (not all) tube ... | |
| Audiophile quality variacs to decrease voltage? Just in case you want to get a bit more creative. Interesting, either way.http://www.geocities.com/jonrisch/catch2.htm | |
| Audiophile quality variacs to decrease voltage? Google "transformer 104/110" and you'll find several multitap options. Read some good things about Signal. Unfortunately, these types rarely come packaged in nice metal boxes. That's up to you. | |
| What is this........midrange bloom?? My own definition of bloom. since I have seen another, is similar to having a forward soundstage but particularly with transients. The sound comes out at you. "Aggressive" is a synonym but also implies bass transients. It's fun but annoying after ... | |
| Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used? Some Genesis APM-1's listed at an Illinois dealer on the list. Powered woofers. One-third origional retail.Or how about the Rocky Mountain line arrays from Colorado. | |
| Using 110v amp and CD player in 220v For an amp, I suggest at least 2KVA (2000W) capacity. A quick Google led to APC Symmetra RM 5kVA (220/120V) as the pick of the heap but they're heavy for shipping and averaged around $700. I didn't see a smaller version. Generally used for large c... | |
| Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot Blues evolved. Never defined, only refined. At which point can we say it's not authentic? Before piano, upright bass, electricity? It's still evolving and statements that it's dead is diminishing to current artists like Marcia Ball and Susan Tedes... | |
| Power Conditioners Recommendations Jp1208,When you look at critical applications in laboratory, medical and industrial/commercial, there is virtually no question. They use transformers. For the latter, it is often step-down transformers that serve dual purpose and they're quite com... | |

| Musicians? I play the tambourine. No, I don't sing or dance. Trying to get some professional studio work. Classical, Jazz and some Gangsta HipHop.I prefer SET amps with Kappa 9's but modified to only use the tweeters.Just kiddin' | |
| Difference between Plinius Sa-100mklll and Sa-102? For bookshelf speakers... that's like a big block in a subcompact. | |
| D.I.Y. Bass Traps- calling acoustic techs.... Did something similar with stacked 20" pipe insulation and rock wool. It's an expensive way to go and not very effective below 80Hz, no matter how it's stuffed. For 50Hz, you have to get real creative, like built-in, floor to ceiling membrane trap... |
