| Understanding impedence matching Still with us, Cc? Just be careful to home-demo ANY amp you try with a relatively high output impedence, like many tube amps. Simple. | |
| Carmina Burana - I need a good CD It's decent, but try the Shaw/Atlanta. It's pretty wonderful. | |
| Power Conditioner Helpful? Richard, given the dedicated lines and your comments re a low noise floor and lack of grunge I'd suggest you buy more software, not hardware, and enjoy more music! | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test I tried a cryo'd HBL8300 (Porter Port) and a normal 8300 in my system, first with the EMC-1 UP and then on my Aleph P. Couldn't hear a difference. I then simnplified to just using the EMC-1 alone, fed DIRECTLY to Senn HD600 cans through the RCA ou... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Hi Sean. Sealed is smaller? I think you meant compared to TL, of course, since manufacturers use vents specifically because of that free bass from a cheaper, smaller enclosure. And you know, given that the lower 2/3 of a speaker's height is relati... | |
| Best speaker cable in the $2,500 range Oops! Apology to Mr Schult...I was referring to another individual with a similar name, and thought the first reference was simply a typo. Ern | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Phew! Lots of reading....Glad to see that "Q" was discussed. Balancing enclosure size, driver characteristics, vent frequency and sensitivity is certainly an art. Not having heard the 20T, I would nonetheless find it a bit difficult to believe tha... | |
| Best speaker cable in the $2,500 range C'mon, Shultz is trying to justify $$$ cables. The answer is BOTH are correct. Good components are good components, yet must be combined to form a "recipe" that works. Food is a good analogy. You want fine ingredients balanced and cooked well to p... | |
| Understanding impedence matching A couple of practical points specific to your components: since your pre has an output impedence of 800 ohms, using the 1:10 rule your power amp should have an input impedence of at least 8k, which is easy to find. (My Alephs, for example, have an... | |

| Speaker opinions for my setup, pls? Exactly. When you get the room properly carpeted and furnished you'll be able to listen to it and then demo speakers that synergize well with it and your listening position. Otherwise you risk being market-sloppy. Pay attention to sidewalls re sof... | |
| Carmina Burana - I need a good CD I like the Shaw/Atlanta over the more recent Blomstedt/SF, but my favorite is actually a small-scale chamber version with 2 pianos fron Sweden...let's see...BIS CD-734 Kroumata Percussion Ensemble & The Uppsala Choir School Children's Choir. E... | |
| Is Sennheiser 600/650 an overkill ? 600s for $200. Just get 'em! Their comfort level is worth it, even though your source isn't. | |
| Canare cables in Canada Markertek is a fine source. My entire HT system is cabled with 4s11 | |
| Speaker opinions for my setup, pls? Huh? First things first: get speakers that match your ROOM and your taste. |
