| Which tubed pre to "flesh out" my mids??? 11-30-08: MonkHey Tvad, I hear you on impedance mismastches... but not the case here, as my BC amp has a 100k input impedance.Yup. Impedance match is a non-issue in the case of an amp with 100k input impedance. | |
| Which tubed pre to "flesh out" my mids??? IMO, likely the tightness of bass has primarily to do with impedance match in the bass frequencies between preamp and amp than any other factor. High preamp impedance output at bass frequencies coupled with an amp's low input impedance in the same... | |

| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter I once owned a pair of SS monoblock amps that had transformers that would buzz quite loudly in unison. They would never buzz at the same time of day, nor would they buzz every day. But, buzz they did.The manufacturer told me it was not the fault o... | |
| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter I tried my PE in every possible configuration as recommended by A. Maher. Top outlet. Bottom outlet. Outlet nearest components. Outlet farthest from components.Sometimes, a product doesn't shine in a given home/system. It's not always the end user... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Mr_man, I'm certain it's Kenner's Close-N-Play.Please make the check payable to Mr. Tvad Tvad.No rush.Thank you. | |
| Spkr, interconects, or power cable upgrade first? Power cords first. Better power delivery results in better sound from the source on down through the signal chain. | |
| Which tubed pre to "flesh out" my mids??? I am doubtful the new Joule-Electra preamp will sell at the <$3000 price point mentioned by the OP. | |
| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter I don't experience the limited dynamics that you describe.I'd like to hear the "jaw dropping" results others have experienced with the AM products, but I'm generally dubious of anything people describe as "jaw dropping".I'm sure others have experi... | |
| Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid? You wrote on your original post:My system with Cary SLP-05 sounds great, but just a little bit "forward" to my taste.So, I hope you can understand how one would surmise the fowardness is not ideal for you.Anyway, good luck with whatever it is you ... | |
| Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid? I see. Honestly, and please understand I'm not trying to be argumentative, I am very doubtful that anything other than a change in your electronics...perhaps the preamp, is going to correct the forward sound you describe.Different speakers would d... | |
| Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid? So, you would describe it as if you were sitting in the front few rows rather than at the back of the room? | |
| Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid? 11-29-08: Homosapien I described my system as "a little bit forward" sounding, but it is never bright. To me it is completely different characteristics of the sound.Would you please describe what you mean by "a little bit forward sounding" so we h... | |
| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter Ozzy, which PE model do you have?I purchased a couple PE and one PE III about a year ago, and I returned them for a refund, much to the chagrin of Alan. According to him, I'm about the only customer to return one of his products.Later, I purchased... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Dob, I don't know the H20 specs, nor am I inclined to research them for this thread. Anyone may check the H20 website for further details.I was just correcting your statement with a pertinent example. |
