| What is the "design" of the "ULTIMATE" loudspeaker Maybe the better question would be, "are the huge ultimate speaker systems mentioned really that much more convincing than the best $20k-$30k systems?" | |
| Need troubleshooting help go easy on me... Newbie Wksesq, If the fuzz is in both channels and you have confirmed that you are indeed in the MM and not the MC mode, then there may be a problem with the EAR. I think what I'd do would be to try new tubes and if that doesn't work you might have to se... | |
| Need troubleshooting help go easy on me... Newbie Well then check that you're on the MM position for both channels. If you still have a problem, reverse the L&R phono interconnects and see if the distortion changes channels. If it doesn't switch, its your amp. If it changes, I'd suspect the t... | |
| Need troubleshooting help go easy on me... Newbie It sounds like something related to your phono preamp. I notice you didn't mention what line stage preamp you are using. 1) As someone else mentioned, You can't plug the phono directly into the amplifier without a volume control. 2) You could have... | |
| Celebrities A/V systems - any interest? Guys, thank you for your comments and the tips on the systems featured in the movies. I seem to remember being impressed with Mel Gibson's rig in "What Women Want". I'll have to go back and watch that again. All of you have given me some food for ... | |
| Celebrities A/V systems - any interest? Sc53, you are probably right about the majority of celebrities not caring about or delving into the world of high-end sound. Fabio's system is probably the exception (marble floors great for sound, eh!), but there must be a few closet audiophiles ... | |
| Siltech G5 against the rest of the world. Tekunda,My cables were made by Full Spectrum Audio and Gary Markowitz and I believe that both of these cable makers are no longer in the business of making cables -- so what I am using is probably a moot point no matter how good they may or may no... | |
| Siltech G5 against the rest of the world. Mike,How about listing a contact phone number or web address for Murray James Cables. You've got me interested and I'm sure that others would appreciate that info too! | |
| Siltech G5 against the rest of the world. The worst thing about not being able to afford those exotic cables that make your system sing is that in less than 3 months from the time you take out that second mortgage to purchase them, you are guaranteed to come across a different cable for a... | |
| Amp suggestions Oops, I see that in my earlier comments I referred to the "Rogue 88" when I meant to say "Rogue 99".If you'd like a recommendation for an amp that's very open sounding and has a lot of pop, the InnerSound ESL amp works great with dynamic speakers ... | |
| Amp suggestions I heard the Stratos in a friend's system and it sounded decidedly dark in the upper octaves compared to his previous amplifier (from White Audio Labs I think). Now I know that the Rogue 88 rolls the top a bit so if you combine that preamp with a d... | |
| Help - amplifier matching problems Why don't you bi-amp using the Krell for bass and the Classe for the midrange and tweeter?? I would think that would provide great bass and sweet midrange/treble performance. | |
| Sony DVD 7700 or Sony 9000es? Just a quick question for the group -- does the 9000ES offer multi-channel SACD audio and has anyone tried it? It looks like it does from what I can tell on the Sony website. These companies ought to make some of the main features of their product... | |
| Cheapest Analogue Setup to Conquer Best Digital I have the new Mitchell Gyro SE II that I'm using with a Origin Live modified Rega RB250 and a Benz Micro Ruby 2. I like it better than my previous VPI Aries/JMW 10 that I used with a ClearAudio Gamma MC cartridge. It wounds my Wright modified Per... | |
| "Double" bi-amping a good idea? Sean,You have done a very credible job of explaining the complex loads that electrostatic hybrids represent, and I thank you for your effort and all the good information.One additional point I'd like to bring up is that while tube amps generally e... |
