| Integrated vs pre/power Oh, your that crazy guy. I'll go anywhere you will except starting meaningless arguments; ther you rule unchallanged. | |
| Gamut Speakers....Anyone? Hello? When I looked at the M5s it appears to me that they are not the equal of the L series. They are actually cheaper and the cabinet work does not appear to be as good; square rather than rounded as the Ls are. Also the M5 appears to have the same dri... | |
| High end speakers without bi-wiring? If you have two sets of speaker connections you can still tune the system with single wireing by choice of jumpers and which set of terminals you connect the speaker cables to. I have found it is usually better to use the trebel posts but there is... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? I use both methods and they both work, but do not sound the same. I have not had good results with rubber or Sorbathane [sp?] to the same degree. For instance when I took the rubber feet off VPI turntable motors and replaced them with small brass ... | |
| High end speakers without bi-wiring? Wilson and some Sonus Faber are single wired, I think the higher end Focal also; my Mini Utopia was single wired. I am sure there are others. Martin Colloms, among others, has suggested that single wireing is better in most cases. | |
| powering two pairs of Dahlquist DQ10s The wall is the right place, DQ10s should be seen and not heard! LOL You can power them both with the same amp IF it will handle low impedance loads. Running them in parallel will halve the impedance the amp sees, not all amps will be happy with t... | |
| Integrated vs pre/power Tpreaves, are you trying to start an argument? If so, why? | |
| Integrated vs pre/power It is a case by case matter, there is no electrical reason why the integrated can not sound as good . The more powerful the amp the more likely it is to come either as a seperate amp or in 2 or more boxes The ASR Emmitter 2 is an intgrated but com... | |
| Are you recording your vinyl? I had the same experence with the Masterlink; not really impressed by the quality of the recordings. | |
| is "audiophilia" another form of conspicuous consu Of course not; now excuse me, my lackey has just finished peeling me another grape. | |
| Active monitors, 3k used, great nearfield sound ATC has a great reputation in active speakers if you like their sound. The 10s cost $5K new but there are a couple of pairs on here now for much less. | |
| 116v from the wall socket? Mine seems to run high, 127 to 123. The PPP reduces it to 120. | |
| Subwoofer Height and Number of Drivers Since bass is far less directional than higher frequencies the heigth is not as critical. My RELs have one downward facing woofer, my Hsu have one upward facing woofer [ very high in the 12" ones] and the Nelson-Reed have 4 12" a side, 2 facing fo... | |
| Table enhancements on a budget- I like the Linn mat, also $25 from the Linn shop on ebay. Replacement feet usually sound better but I haven't used these. I also have a Denon 110; in my experence and also in British reviews it is slightly better than the 160 and considerably chea... | |
