| Cryoing of audio equipment There's a huge thread on this. My experience is that the insulative materials' dielectric potentials need burn-in, or "curing", rather than deep-freezing the metal conductors. | |
| Adcom GFP-750 and Goldpoint attenuator Yes, the Aleph P has "true" balanced inputs and outputs, and nifty separate gain and "volume" controls for max S/N within your system's sensitivity (gain) level. | |
| JC-1 - is there a stereo version? Bob...you still cookin'? How about another "fun" picture-loaded email? I'm a bachelor this weekend...Ern | |
| which monitor isn't lacking in the bass dept.? I use Spendor S3/1p (6.5" 2way) for my HT system specifically because they're much more efficient and have far superior bass to the otherwise fine S3 or LS3/5a...also mate perfectly with the spendor SC3 center speaker, which is basically a double-... | |
| Warm sounding cables - non fatiguing Gotta agree with Red (how are you?). I use SPM for absolute linearity and speed, dialing in room acoustics and component choice for preferred spectral tilt. Only sideways step was to use a HT Truthlink to soften my MD100 tuner of a few birdies up ... | |
| Are your systems more Plato or Aristotle? Shubertmaniac, I'm with ya, as I've been overdosing on playing a lot of Schumann on my piana lately, and do miss the "there" there of Schubert. But "historicity"? I'm afraid you let me down with that one.... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 and Goldpoint attenuator Probably easier to sell the 750 and get the "real" version of the circuit as made by Nelson himself: AlephP, which uses an optical switching of a relay-driven silver resistor ladder for gain and attenuation. | |
| i hate to ask but I Really Need Help Bravo, Sean! | |
| Please read and help me That Adcom 750 will NOT be lush and laid back. I have the "real" AlephP version, and "linear and transparent" is its raison d'etre. You need something much warmer for all that 70s dirty top octaves stuff. | |
| Can a low resistance speaker be efficient? When dropping to 4 ohms at certain frequencies the speaker will simply draw TWICE the current as at 8 ohms. This can of course tax many amps. As importantly, with tube amps that often have a high output impedence, grotesque nonlinearities can resu... | |
| Purpose of triangular placement of cones/spikes? Of course 3 is better IF a plane is maintained, inferring a very rigid chassis. If the damn thing's sagging or trampolining then more is better, but maybe it's hopeless at that point! (sorry)Yes, cones transmit, not absorb, Their directionality sh... | |
| Redbook for the long haul I'll keep my Electrocompaniet EMC-1 around, that's for sure.... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Wow! Little Deuce Coupe for me too! | |
| What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines??? Highend: yes. | |
| Best Integrated for 400 dollars Gotta give the nod to the new NAD BEE |
