| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Oops I was posting on two different threads. This must be a popular topic!The bottom line: I figured out how passive bi-amping works and it sounds wonderful.The other important piece of information I figured out: the best place to go for all your... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP This is my last comment on this thread. Yes indeed, it is as easy as I suggested in the last post. Another hot tip: these days the best place to go for your RCA cable needs is a car audio shop. They still use crossovers and RCA cables everywhere!F... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP After doing even more reading -- it looks like it is common for people to just use a y cable from each channel of the pre-amp to plug into both amps. This may explain why most threads didn't mention adding a crossover specifically.Is it really th... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP After doing some reading -- it looks like I should be able to find the crossover I need for biamping at just about any car audio shop. Is this the case? | |
| Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP Hmm, I posted something yesterday plus a response and an edit but it isn't here today... weird.I'll repost my quick question... I'm a new 9Kappa owner! After 30 years of window shopping someone in my zip code had an estate sale and I ended up wit... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Quick update: what makes the sound even worse than mismatched "Extended" modes is when the bottom woofer is wired backward. I re-did the wiring on both speakers and it sounds infinity-ly better now. This seems to be a common problem on these speak... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Excellent thread! Another new 9Kappa owner here. I'm mainly trying to figure out what subwoofer to get and what preamps/crossovers I will need to try bi-amping. But I'll tell the longer story here just for fun:I always loved the look of the Kap... | |

| Arm/cartridge weight measurement Thank you, I bookmarked the Vinyl Asylum and will likely bespending a lot of time there over the next months.Mark | |
| Arm/cartridge weight measurement Thanks for the excellent suggestions. I think I am still getting some distortion on the really heavy bass, though theonly album that I also have on CD hasn't had the best careover the years.I picked up a couple of records that I have on CD. Jeff B... | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it I did something similar, got an old Thorens TD-110 and put on a decent cartridge (Shure something 97 something). It soundsfairly good, but you are definitely taking a risk with oldequipment. If I could do it again I would at least have heldout for... | |
| Budget Phono Preamp? revisited I just picked up a Parasound PPH-100 on ebay. It seems towork well, and supports both MM and the higher-output MC. Iteliminated the hum that I was getting with the other AC-based preamp I tried.Mark | |
| Best budget table? I have always read that Thorens tables are a good one whenyou don't want to spend too much. Of course, one man'slow-end is another man's impossibly expensive luxury! I picked up a TD-110 for $50 and added a Shure M97XE cartridge; sounds pretty goo... | |
| Eliminating humming & buzzing Thank you for all of your excellent suggestions. Luckily,I found an inexpensive solution.My receiver doesn't have a phono input, so I had a $75phono -> line converter, which had a regular 110 plug. Ihappened to have a $25 Radio Shack 9v battery... | |
| Line doubler and HDTV Cool, thanks for the reply.How do you handle various inputs? Can you give a few details on your other equipment? Is the Quadscan the lastpiece of equipment in the chain, or do you have a receiver(or equivalent) to switch between inputs?In my case,... |
