| Is Remote Control Important? Remote's are very convenient and a desirable feature, but i can't find any preamps that i like that have a remote. If i could find one, it would probably be out of my price league anyhow. As such, i've got four out of five systems with no remote v... | |
| Switching OFF Classe CA401? Sounds like the amp may have a "standby" mode. Pressing it once puts it into standby and then pressing it again turns it all the way off. This is just a guess, but you might want to read the manual to confirm this. Sean> | |
| Help please in regards to audioprism amp. I googled and found two potential links for this amp. http://www.fullswing.com/audioprism/debut.htmlThe other was Savant Audio. Don't know if either will help you, but worth a shot. Sean> | |
| Upgrading speakers...Legacy Focus 20/20??? Even if you were able to optimally place these speakers in any given room, you'll never be able to cure the lack of definition / damping / ringing that the bass suffers from. This is a built in design trait and unavoidable without making modificat... | |
| Upgrading speakers...Legacy Focus 20/20??? The Focus 20/20 are too big for this width room and that type of speaker placement to work optimally. In the grander scheme of things, your PSB's are probably more accurate speakers, but won't play as loud or deliver the same specific sonic signat... | |
| Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy? Trelja: Once again, right on the money. As usual, you summed my thoughts up quite well : )Herman: Mitch stated that the amp is delivering more power, but also sounds much louder and "bigger". As such, it is hard to imagine heavier gauge inductors ... | |
| Speaker Break In ? Something is better than nothing but your basically not accomplishing much. You need to pass both voltage and current and in order to do that, you have to have good volume passing through the speakers. When your not home, try playing track 7 on Ay... | |
| Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy? The amplifier is actually loading into the speaker better than it was before. The better it loads up, the more power transfer and control that you'll have. After all, the amp can't control the speaker if it can't load power into it in both a timel... | |
| Tube on Top. I'm doing something similar, but with an array of drivers for each frequency range. I ended up using six stereo amps in mono-block form with all 12 channels being driven. By sharing the load of multiple drivers between two channels of the amp, i w... | |
| Check Vertical and horizntal Tracking Angle There is a method that one can use to do this using mono recordings. You need a special device to do this with though when working with a stereo based vinyl system. You might want to contact Kevin Barrett at KAB Electro-Acoustics. He's a dedicated... | |
| Can you help me find the Highest Quality Switch? I can't offer specifics in terms of brand names, but you would need a multi-contact relay that was switch activated. Using such an approach will probably increase cross-talk between your left and right channels. The only way that i know to get aro... | |
| Got my very first system. What's my next move? Great responses above. I agree that your Dad was very kind in offering you what he did. I hope that you've gained more respect for both your Father and the components that you currently have after going through all of this : )As far as equipment "... | |
| How important is a flat response? You can't recreate a wide variety of instruments with high levels of accuracy when a component ( speakers for example ) introduce a very specific tonal imbalance into the equation. Some instruments may sound relatively natural, but others, due to ... | |
| Suggestions on SS/Mono Amps for woofer towers Here's a link to the thread about the Perreaux 5150 driving the woofers of an Infinity RS-1B system. If you do a search, you'll also find several comments about Rick's ( aka Rwd on Agon ) experience with a Perreaux PMF-2150 and PMF-3150 driving hi... | |
| How important is a flat response? Flat frequency response is only a portion of what we strive to achieve in a high linearity system. It is quite possible to achieve something that one finds to be "quite enjoyable" without being anywhere near "flat". This is where personal preferen... |
