| Equipment you just must get if you can The truth is that very often I don't know what I am looking for until I find it. I often think about what level of performance I want rather than a specific component. Somewhat over a year ago when I was looking for a pair of newer speakers I was ... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can I won't tell because if I do sombody might beat me to it. Wait, I will on second thought; I have always wanted a pair of Bose 901s. {Heh Heh; that should throw them off the scent]. | |
| which speakers for low watt power amp? 102db would be TOO sensitive in my opinion; you would never use more than a few watts. 75 good watts will drive just about anything; perhaps not to maximum loudness in every case but to quite reasonable sound levels. Larryi has it about right. | |
| Am I going to blow my Apogees with all this power? First; VU meters do not show peaks; they come and go before the meters can respond. Old time recording engineers were adept at estimating what was really going on from their use but for most of us they are useless. Second; too much power is seldom... | |
| Audio Technica AT-33PTG vs Denon 103R cartridge I use the AT 33EV [I have never been able to find out how it is different from the PTG] which is often found on J&R for $400. Two of my friends have bought them after hearing mine. I have used the regular 103 but not the R. I suspect the AT mi... | |
| Ceiling & Front Wall Treatments Have you checked with the manufacture of the panels? I got mine from Ready Acoustics and they were very helpful; had me put some in positions I would never have tried but which worked very well. If they have suggestions they would be more valuable... | |
| Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker? Try magnets; that is what a friend of mine does. I suspect his favorite song is "There will be a hot time in the old town tonight!" | |
| Hissing sound coming from tweeters Try turning off everything but the amps and see if you still have it; if you do it is the amps. If not turn on the other components in order and see when you get it. | |
| Musical Fidelity A1 experiences I use to sell them; I also thought that they had a "warm" sound which was quite good. I used them with Spendor and Musical Fidelity speakers. They should not sound thin or lack bass. Either it is not working properly or the ICs or speaker wires ar... | |
| How much would I benefit from an amp upgrade? Get the current Krell 300 series integrated; they list at $2500 and appear on here regularly for around $1700. Will sound MUCH better than the kind of amps you mention; not all watts are created equal. The 203 deserve a better quality amp; but don... | |
| New REL T7 / T9 vs. older REL Storm III? The T series are designed for home theater and the S series for music. I believe the T uses Class D amps; the S series uses A/B amps. Newer and cheaper seldom equals better in my experience; I almost always buy used and try to select gear that was... | |
| Using protective discs under brass footers I have a friend who uses Audio Points and a Mapleshade Samson rack; his gear sounded better with the saucers but if I remember correctly we used them point upward with the saucer under the component rather than downward into the shelf. You can try... | |
| Using protective discs under brass footers I have been a Star Sound dealer and their brass cones do sound somewhat better using the matching brass saucers. Not night and day but noticable. | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" I have always used a mix but have has a chance to buy 8 identical cables of a good brand; I will report my impressions but will not be able to make a comparison. I have sold or am selling most of the ones I had to be able to afford the new ones. | |
| Rel R-505 work with a Pass Labs X350.5 You should contact Pass directly on this. |
