| need power cord to my system..... Are the current Bryston amps still using "old style" iron core ( E-I ) power transformers or have they gone to toroidals ? Sean> | |
| Not happy yet I also forgot one more thing. You have your speakers 6 feet from the back wall and 3 feet from the sidewall. As such, you will have MAJOR cancellation / reinforcement at specific frequencies. Since 3' and 6' are direct "harmonics" of each other in... | |
| Not happy yet Ehart, what are you asking folks for advice for ??? Your the only one so far that has looked at this logically. While everyone can be pissed at me for saying this, so be it. While many suggestions are valid in terms of building a system composed o... | |
| Tubes are not so unreliable Power output tubes in RF gear take a beating. As such, one of my fellow "techs" uses a tube radio on his bench to test all of his repairs. The original tubes in the output section have been used on a daily basis since 1968 up until appr 2 years ag... | |
| Not happy yet Ehart, i am not familiar with your speakers. Are they floorstanders, "bookshelf" units, monitors, etc ??? If bookshelfs or monitors, how do you have them situated ?What type of "equipment holder" are you using ? Rack, entertainment center, desktop... | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? While i WILL read that article, i will stand by statements about frequency response / tonality / harmonics GREATLY affecting the "PRAT" of a system. Do the simple test that i mentioned and judge for yourself how much "pace" the music has left. Oth... | |
| no body is buying anything on audiogon According to what i've read, Americans as a whole are further in debt than we have been for MANY, MANY years. As such, things are probably tight for those that were spending what they didn't have to begin with. Things like Paypal and other online ... | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? PS... i'm not trying to say that bass output is EVERYTHING when it comes to "prat". It is obviously just one aspect of a very complex issue. Sean> | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? Thanks for some of the very valid comments about my previous statements. I wasn't talking about bass extension per se, but specific levels of output and their ability to deal with notes in a "timely" manner. The comments about mini monitors verify... | |
| Upper Midrange Glare problem Aragain, i have NO idea as to what causes some interconnects to be audibly different than others or work / not work within specific systems. All i can say is that i have experienced such things first hand and i'm sure that many others here share t... | |
| Horizontal Bi-Amping question A simple test to see if the highs and lows are tied together via using a common ground in the crossover would be to disconnect the shorting strap and then check for continuity between the two ground posts. If there is continuity, bi-wiring would b... | |
| New category for trades? Sounds like a great idea. As to the third party escrow thing, i volunteer. Just send me all of the gear that you want to trade, i'll inspect it and listen to it for a few days and then forward it onto the other party. While this will save some peo... | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality Sugarbrie, both of your examples are situations that are either caused by the transmitters not meeting FCC compliance or what is called "front end overload" due to close proximity. If your not REAL close to the transmitters, make a few phone calls... | |
| Which IC is more important? Thanks for clearing things up Mapleleaf. Sorry if it seemed like i was jumping on you or "nagging". It was not intended that way but may have appeared as such.As to Pop's findings about the cables between his pre and power amp making a BIG differe... | |
| Upper Midrange Glare problem I have NO idea as to where to find these specific cables on the street. I stumbled across them when going through a catalogue from one of my RF distributors. Since they were quite reasonable in price, i ordered several different designs that they ... |
