| Parasound HCA-3500, Am I Crazy? This is going to look like a "love fest", but kudo's to you again Bob. Giving credit where credit is due is why you get the respect that you do. Honesty and friendliness are some of your best features : ) Sean>PS... Crump is too big for me to s... | |
| Biamping Dunlavy SC-V I can't say for certain, but breaking the speaker load up into segments can surely alter the power transfer characteristics of how each amplifier in a multi-amp system responds. This is in comparison to how one of the same amps driving the entire ... | |
| Clever Substitute for "Poor Man's Audio Deske" ? Rx8man: While not directly related to your question in terms of a "budget" Audio Desk alternative, i thought you might be interested in a couple of older posts of mine from AA on the subject. I've had mine for almost 5 years now with nary a proble... | |
| Biamping Dunlavy SC-V If you want to improve the performance of your Dunlavy's, rig up and secure as large as possible of a flat piece of wood on top of your speaker. This will increase bass coupling and improve loading into the room. You can vary the size, placement a... | |
| Parasound HCA-3500, Am I Crazy? Rcrump: Isn't it crazy how an individual component ( semiconductor ) that measures "flat" in terms of the primary amplitude linearity can actually alter the tonal balance of what one hears due to lower level distortions inherit to the part itself?... | |
| Volume on AVM20 I ran into this with several other Pre-Pro's myself. That is, one had to have the unit almost wide open before suitable volume was reached. Whether or not this is strictly psychological or not, nobody likes this.While you mention the figure "10", ... | |
| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets Grant aka Samuel: My last post was entered prior to your response being posted. As such, it goes a bit beyond my last post and is in rebuttal to your last post."The Hydras are entirely non-current limiting to amplifiers or any other equipment up t... | |
| Do i need AC conditioner w/dedicated AC lines? Tvad: You are losing me in your opening line i.e. "Sean...?"Tobias ( and Denf): I was not suggesting that you build your own parallel line filters and install them in the outlet. While i had in my mind the use of something along the lines of the A... | |
| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets Tvad: If these devices aren't current limited in any way, and they offer a very high level of isolation from outlet to outlet / duplex to duplex as the manufacturer claims, it shouldn't make ANY difference what outlet a component is plugged into i... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Thanks for the response Grant. Having said what you did though, you never provided any type of rebuttal pertaining to the facts that the outlets are all wired in daisy-chain fashion with the resultant potential for heavy current draw to modulate t... | |
| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets Tvad: Now you're relying on spec's, empirical evidence and manufacturer's claims? I would think that Brent's comments as passed onto him by the manufacturer of the product itself would tell you something. So that everyone else can follow along wit... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Rsbeck: If the cables measure the same, they'll sound the same. If they sound different, and you are honest about hearing a difference, then there must be some way to quantify what you hear. It is that simple and my method keeps it simple.Your met... | |
| Has anyone tried using two Sonic Impact amps? I was going to try doing this, but not in a conventional manner. That is, i was going to actively crossover and bi-amp some small speakers that i was intending to build for my computer. All of the electronics would have been built into the speaker... | |
| Tape Monitor Line-Out direct to amplifier solution Wow. Thanks for pointing that out / clarifying the situation Herman. I guess i didn't catch that Audiok was hinting at the same thing. I somehow overlooked that in the original post, probably because i wasn't ever expecting to see something like t... | |
| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets I just found this thread after Rgs commented about it in another thread. The comments that Brent passes on via word of mouth directly from Shunyata would make sense, as the first outlets will receive the most voltage and current. Then again, any d... |
