| Daedalus Nglazer, reviews leave different impressions on different readers.It's too bad the Bound for Sound review isn't made available to a wider audience.I'd like to read it. | |
| Daedalus 06-23-09: NglazerIt is a nice but not particularly glowing review.Those are sometimes the most helpful. | |
| Cleaning Dust off of Vinyl Pledge Dust and Allergen Wipes were recommended to me by a vinylphile, and they have worked great.They're dry, so they leave no residue. Just pick up the dust. | |

| Recommend me a quality power cord extender? You might consider an Alan Maher Designs Quantum Reference Power Conditioner.It will provide the extension you require, plus it will transparently filter your system's power (at least it does in my system).Another option is a VH Audio Hot Box. | |
| 8 ohm speaker hooked up to 4 ohm post ? Blindjim, your question is in reference to Ralph's comment to me about the impedance curve of the Sonata III, yes?For full explanation of how he came to his conclusion about what he suspects is the Sonata III's minimum impedance, he would need to ... | |
| 8 ohm speaker hooked up to 4 ohm post ? 06-17-09: Blindjim...especially how someone could examine something without seeing or testing it.This question should be directed to Ralph Karsten. | |

| 8 ohm speaker hooked up to 4 ohm post ? Blindjim, I mistakenly thought there was new ground to cover, and that's why I posted in this thread. Since I misinterpreted your earlier statement, thereby making my initial post irrelevant, I see no purpose in revisiting old discussion. My mista... | |

| 8 ohm speaker hooked up to 4 ohm post ? Blindjim, when you wrote:With a couple solid state amps, which have no such choice of out put taps, they play fine, and only the differences between ss and tubes are then realized. The thinness and tilted up sound was gone. I understood your state... | |
| 8 ohm speaker hooked up to 4 ohm post ? Given that your speakers are atypical in that respect, I would not generalize too readily from the positive results others have sometimes reported when they connected to the 4 ohm taps.Regards,-- Al Almarg (Answers)That's an excellent answer. Most... | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp Jafox, I'll answer your questions that were directed toward my comments.06-16-09: JafoxA tube preamp used with a solid state amp will not produce the same magic.As what, a solid state preamp with a tube amp?I general, yes. In my opinion, a tube am... | |
| Preamp matching question to Nuforce 9SEV2 No, there's no technical reason that it would not be a good match. The Pass XP-20 with its 200 ohm (unbalanced) or 1 kohm (balanced) output impedance, is a good match with the NuForce 9SEV2's 45 kohm input impedance.Whether you will like the resul... | |
| 8 ohm speaker hooked up to 4 ohm post ? 06-16-09: BlindjimSilverline Sonata IIIs... reportedly 93 db @ 8 ohms... not dropping below 6 or 7. Sorry but I must disagree with those specs too, by virtue of practical applications.With a couple solid state amps, which have no such choice of ou... |
