| Integrated's equipped for biwiring?? Sorry to get off topic here ( never stopped me before : ) but some receivers / inexpensive integrated's place their speaker A in series ( rather than in parallel ) with speaker B when both sets are engaged. As such, Boston didn't want to take any ... | |
| Volume Control? The Placette is supposed to be very good from what i've read here. You might also want to think about a pair of Ultimate Attenuators from Ric at Electronic Visionary Systems. His website is http://www.tweakaudio.com and he can build you whatever v... | |
| Do I need more power? The info that i have on the Sparks' state that they are a small two way with a 5" mid-woofer. If that is the case, you probably need more speaker, not more power. 60 "tube watts" should be enough to drive such a speaker well into break-up. I think... | |
| Record mats, VTA, clamps and my ears Basement, thanks for kicking me in the head and knocking some sense into me. Sometimes i tend to look at things as trying to set them up for optimum performance and forget that not all components / installations are up to the task. As such, i need... | |
| Speakers for Rock Vader, i'm simply basing my comments on what i've heard and experienced. I also took into account the scenario ( price range and associated components ) that the poster suggests. None of the Thiel's that i've heard have had any type of "slam" to t... | |
| Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker? Well Paul, i guess when you can't hear the difference between an amp from NAD, Rotel, B&K, etc... and an amp from Threshold / Pass, Boulder, Rowland, Electron Kinetics, etc.., it wouldn't make sense to put money into cables or tweaks of ANY ty... | |
| Speakers for Rock I don't think that either B&W's or Thiel's are especially well suited to be called "rock & roll" speakers, especially the Thiel's.Look for something that is at least 91 - 92 dB's at the minimum, uses multiple drivers for each frequency ran... | |
| Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker? If you play with a lot of cables or have multiple systems, it is well worth it. Regardless of the "sped up" break-in time, i think that cables sound better after being cooked even if they have been in a system with hundreds upon hundreds of hours ... | |
| Patricia Barber "Verse" released and online She did her very first show with the new material here ( Chicago ) last Monday night at a club called The Green Mill. I got off work early to go to the show but it was already packed before i could even leave the house. I really wish i could have ... | |
| How old is too old ?.... If you can find a way to easily replace the capacitors in the crossover network with newer models, you'll probably like your speakers even more. Not only should they sound more transparent, you'll have increased their power handling in the long ru... | |
| What type of solder do you use and why? Bear, i've heard rumour that Wonder Solder is a formulation that Tektronic's developed for use in their test equipment. How true this is, i don't know. Sean> | |
| What type of solder do you use and why? Wonder Solder works very well, flows quite easily and does not leave a lot of flux residue behind. I've have "shared" solder with several people just starting out in "DIY Land" and they have all commented how much nicer and easier the Wonder Solde... | |

| Help with FedEx claim......What would YOU do? Paulg805, your comments regarding fair market value are incorrect. They will pay out whatever you insured it for so long as you have some type of proof that the unit originally sold for that amount or more. I have been through this over a dozen ti... | |
| Family cable shootout The flat Goertz interconnects are phenomenally high in capacitance per foot. As such, i can see them being VERY system dependent and not working too well with just about any SS preamp, especially those that use integrated circuits as the main gain... |
