| Remotes: Who needs 'em? Find a roll of duct tape(a color pleasing to your eyes, to avoid further angst), cut off a suitable length and cover the face of your remote. With an Exacto knife(or an, as yet, unconfiscated scalpel), trim out around those precious few buttons yo... | |
| Will doing this blow my speakers? You're right- They were just kooks. You won't hurt anything turning on the amps w/o a signal source. If you touch the interconnect RCA plug's post, you'll get quite a buzz from the speakers though. | |
| bi amping question OOPS- I never replied to your query about the 6SN7's. It sounds like our tastes are similar. If you want the Holy Grails of transparency and sound stage: There's nothing out there like a NOS, matched pair of 40's TungSol JAN CTL/6SN7GT bottom gett... | |
| bi amping question I'm still trying to figure out what some people term "musicality" myself. To me the term SHOULD connote allowing all the MUSIC to pass without adding or subtracting anything. In other words: transparent, detailed, extended and fast bass(gotta feel... | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? My BAT VK-D5 has a remote milled from a solid piece of aluminum, then anodized. It looks and feels classy, and gives me the option of inserting a CD, returning to my listening position without having to rush, and leisurely seating myself/getting c... | |
| Today was like Christmas...found Hafler DH 500 BTW- Was the modding done by Musical Concepts? They were one of the first to start commercially tweaking the Hafler gear. | |
| Today was like Christmas...found Hafler DH 500 If you can stand the sound of the cooling fan: the bottom is very testicular, they exhibit the usual MOS-FET "mist" which is much better than the bi-polar bite(glare), they'll easily drive the most difficult loads and of course they put out enough... | |
| solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT?? Some further notes(aside from the superior conductivity of copper and silver) on the various metals used in alloy when making the numerous solders out there: Silver provides mechanical strength, but has worse ductility than lead. In absence of lea... | |
| Room Correction Hardware options ? Mr N- You can choose your own frequencies to EQ (anything between 20 and 20kHz). That's IF there's anything left that needs to be EQ'd after the TacT runs it's automatic correction algorithms. If you can operate a computer(and I assume you can, or... | |
| Room Correction Hardware options ? The ADCs/DACs in the new RCS 2.0 and 2.0S have been upgraded since the first models(just in the past year). I've never owned the 2.0, but do own an RCS 2.2Xaaa, and the new converters are better than what I've got. My experience has been nothing l... | |
| Room Correction Hardware options ? Mr N- Since you are not interested in bi-amping, you don't need the 2.2. The 2.0 or 2.0S (http://www.tactlab.com/Products/RCS20/index.html)are what you should be looking at and they can be equipped with analog ins and outs also. These TacTs have a... | |
| The partner or wife factor The Italian Audiophiles had the solution to the problem for years. Then they legalized divorce in that country and the murder rate went down dramatically. Or were those the Roman Catholics? | |
| solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT?? And many people prefer the "warm", colored, euphonic, "tubey" presentation of Mullard and Brimar tubes over the transparent, uncolored presentation of Telefunken, and Siemens tubes(etc). Yadda, yadda, yadda! Tastes vary, but the laws of conductivi... | |
| Room Correction Hardware options ? Mr N- I missed your question concerning interfacing a TacT with an integrated amp. The tact units(either 2.2 or 2.0) are pre-amps/control units/room correction devices and you'd need no other device between your analog line level source(phono pre,... | |
| I need some speaker help Mr S- I've been in the sound reinforcement business for almost 30 years and never has seen a speaker system or horn design that varies it's tweeter's response with relation to it's SPL. What company or companies build such a system or crossover? I... |
