| Integrated amp for Focal micro utopia be I had the Mini Utopias and they worked very well with my MF NuVista M3; probably over powered for yours but smaller ones from MF should work. | |
| Sansui TU-9500. No sound from output. Make sure the tape monitor switch is off and you have selected the correct input and have the speaker selector swich in the right place. There are a lot of knobs on this series of Sansui which can be confusing. good sound though. | |
| Worst CD player A many way tie between all the ones that do not function. Suggested tie breaker; the one that originally cost the most loses. | |
| Over 55? - You Gotta See This I actually had been having more trouble remembering lately. Yesterday I found out a possible cause; I have a 3 cm tumor pressing on my brain from the outside; fortunately it appears to be very amenable to removal. I thereby falsify to contention t... | |
| any veiws on apogee centaur speakers I would check the price of replacement ribbons; you would probably have to buy 2 , a good idea anyway. There are several repair stations around the country; Northern Va. for one; I would not want just anyone working on them. It would cost quite a ... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme SME mount question My 2.2 with SME mount does so I would think so but you might check with Graham. It fits the board I had for my SME IV at least. | |
| Speaker mash up ? My experience is that instead of accentuating the virtues of each you bring forward the bad side of both. The way you propose to do it will be very bad if I understand it properly as the crossover point will be god knows where and how will you ach... | |
| Parasound A51 - Different Temp Heatsinks? Excuse me, I thought you were running them all from the same taps. I was conflating your amp with the A21 my friend has; I didn't understand the RCA connection for the speakers; RCA jacks carry signal usually. The fact that one heat sink gets hott... | |
| Parasound A51 - Different Temp Heatsinks? If you run 2 pairs of 8 ohm speakers in parallel you get a 4 ohm load; not 8 ohms. Adding a third pair will lower it still further; you may have a 2 ohm load on your amp. I will defer to experts like Al on exact loading but in general when you par... | |
| Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones? I often go to Audioasylum for a good laugh myself. Look at this thread: http://www.AudioAsylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=general&m=631918 | |
| Parasound A51 - Different Temp Heatsinks? Have you considered what the combined impedance of the speakers amount to? It may constitute a very low impedance load; a transistor amp will attempt to double its output when the impedance is halved.For example my CJ 350 barely gets warm driving ... | |
| The Weavers Reunion at Carnegie Hall -1963 new LP I have the original LP and the CD and the LP sounds better on my system; have not heard the reissue LP. | |
| turntable isolation feet A turntable is a complex system and any vibration can affect the sound. I also found that VPIs were improved by adding brass cones; I used a different brand but would expect to get a similar result from the Bearpaws. Any table will be affected by ... | |
| ASR Basis Exclusive 2006 Packing Question I am getting ready to pack mine also; the above is correct. I would not order from ASR, the importer wanted to charge me $400 for an IC that Digitech sold in lots of ten for the same price; i.e. $400 for ten of them. I eventually bought 2 on the i... | |
| single ended cable crossed at bi wireable speaker? I use Cardas GR speaker wire; a double run would be expensive and cumbersome. I formerly used Cardas jumpers; currently using bare solid silver wire I got from either Homegrown Audio or Chris Van [drawing a blank]. I actually do have some solid si... |
