| Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova Ohm Micros didn't do well at all with my 20 wpc EL84 amp, but sound pretty darn good with my 50wpc Audio Refinement complete. I'm not sure whether the Nova is as strong of an amplifier as the AR Complete. | |
| Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova I auditioned it with several speakers, and found that with the Rega R-3's it ran out of steam and clipped. We were looking for floor standers and ended up with the Audio Physic Yaras - a good match. Vandersteen 1c's were a good match too. I don't ... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks Hi T_bone,You're right, they just generate heat, not electricity. If you are going closed loop, I'm not sure of the trenching depth that gets you pretty well far away from the seasonal and diurnal temperature fluctuations at the surface - a boreho... | |
| diffuser panels made more simple? Search for existing thread called:"Making Your Own 2D Diffusors"You can do exactly what you propose and spray with latex paint. The contributor who offers his write-up, near the end of the post, did just that and you can get detailed info from him... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks T_bone - I've been studying ground source heat pumps lately. They are very efficient, and a form of geothermal. They require either buried shallow loops of tubing in the ground or wells. | |
| Making Your Own 2D Diffusors Tom was kind enough to send me his write up and pictures. Excellent write up, and Tom has made a variety of diffusor types with foam. Excellent work! I ended up making mine out of balsa wood, which is light, wasn't too pricey, and looks really gre... | |
| Best Private Retreat Using Closed Headphones I've got a pair of Ultrasone cans that I like quite well for closed phones. Check out their line. | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks Besides lowering the power demand of your amps (e.g. Class D), you may want to look into the solar policies wrt the local power company. In some locations, the power company is required to buy back energy generated by solar, and a simpler solar (o... | |
| suggestions for pre amp for Quikie v4 monos I don't really know the amps, but I haven't heard glowing descriptions about the Quicksilver full function. I think the CAT Ultimate II is a great preamp in your price range, as is the Modwright 36.5 and the Hovland and the Lamm. I've had all in m... | |
| Noob Planar Speaker Advice Needed If you're looking for midrange, why not consider Quad? I had Quad 988's with the Aragon amp and it was a great combination. I think that amp is great bang for the buck! | |
| Mag 3.6 Soundstage question.... To me it sounds like a room issue, with different room response at different frequencies. Maybe you could try using a frequency generator (can be generated off a computer) and vary the frequency and see if it has an effect on the image.Also, try s... | |
| Where to insert XLR "Y" Adaptor Thanks Al. I'm having Redco make up a 6" pigtail pair. They also thought the addition of one more connector to the sub would not make a difference, so I decided this would be most flexible.I'll be doing a bunch of soldering, putting Neutrik connec... | |
| Where to insert XLR "Y" Adaptor Splitting it near the amp/sub results in the shortest total cable, but it requires one more connection (male to female Neutrik plugs) than two parallel runs originating at a preamp split. The latter approach allows the signal delivery to the amps/... | |
| Where to insert XLR "Y" Adaptor BTW - Jax2 (and others with similar thought processes), please leave bodily orifices out of the list of options ;-) | |
