| avantgarde with SS amp recomendation Herman: Simple and to the point response. Thanks for making me look at the situation a little more thoroughly. Given the "backwards" design of this amp, i was stuck in a more "conventional" mode of thinking. As mentioned though, i'm sure that some... | |
| Speaker design question-DIY/techies please help Pr: If just starting out, David B Weem's books are about the best as they are a lot simpler than most. Once you get a handle on that, Vance Dickason's books are very educational and full of actual test results and technical data. If you shoot me y... | |
| avantgarde with SS amp recomendation Herman: I'm curious as to why you say that the Pass Firstwatt is incompatible with multi-way speakers? While it was designed for use with single driver systems, i see no reason why it won't function with multiple drivers. After all, "personal pref... | |
| Can you use Philips SACD 1000 as a transport? The SACD 1000 has a digital output which can be used for everything but SACD. If one wants to use the SACD 1000 as an SACD player, you'll have to use the internal DAC's of the unit itself and the analogue outputs on the back. Sean> | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. Albert, have you seen the latest news about recording tape becoming obsolete? The last American plant making tapes is going to cease operation. Details can be found over at AA in a thread that Ray Kimber started. Sean> | |
| What makes a speaker perform well at low volume? All speakers change "Q" ( tuning ) as they are driven at different levels. As such, they all have a specific point where they will operate most linearly. The problem with a multi-way design is that it is possible for each of the drivers used to ex... | |
| Review: Forte Model 4a Amplifier I currently own three Forte' 3's and two Forte' 6's along with a couple dozen other amps. Have also had Forte' 1A's and Forte' 4's in the past. Ned aka Ferrari has a pair of the Forte' 7's, which i've always been interested in but never tried. Giv... | |
| How about a "Remember This?" forum AudioGon? Speaking of "remember this", it's too bad someone hasn't gathered together all of the old Lirpa product reviews from Audio magazine along with the audio related comics of Charles Rodriguez as found in Stereo Review. Some of these were really funny... | |
| BAT vs Pass Labs Amp If you are hooked on tubes, that moves the Pass amp out of the equation right off the bat as they are all SS designs. Sean> | |
| Speaker repair-need help Greg: All i can say to that is.... BWA-HAhahaha... You would have better luck investing in venture capital with junk bond king Michael Milliken than you would waiting for me on a project of this magnitude and scope. Too many different projects and... | |
| ultra low capacitance cables Arthur: When i make a comment, i'm simply sharing my thoughts and that's all that they should be taken as i.e. my personal opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.Many of my comments are simply observations made on the technical aspects of the product... | |
| ultra low capacitance cables The spec's on the Bogdan cabling are very misleading due to their construction. The nominal impedance of this cable will vary wildly due to the unequal spacing between the conductors over the length of the cabling. This means that the signal will ... | |
| Speaker repair-need help No "support legs" necessary. I figured that part out long ago ; ) As far as a frequency response of 120 Hz - 22 Khz, "decent" Ohm F will do WAY below 20 Hz up to somewhere between 15-17 KHz. If anything, i'd rather sacrifice some of the bottom end... | |
| ultra low capacitance cables I've done a search for Bogdan cables and can't find anything on the net other than comments in various AV forums. Bogdan Audio as listed in Agon's manufacturers listings only shows turntables and tonearms as products. Any help here??? Sean> | |
| bridging a b&k st202 to mono Bdgregory: I've owned several different B&K amps and never seen that info either. Then again, these were all older amps and B&K was never much on owner's manuals per se, hence my questions to Jeffrey. As to running one channel of an amp, t... |
