| Tube amps demonstrated with totem element series I still don't get the "fill the larger room" issue with systems...I have a large-ish house and my modest tube amp and not so large speaker system can make the whole place shake if cranked...do people live in Zeppelin hangers? Sit 50 yards from the... | |
| How do I hook uo headphones to my system? I retract my suggestion. Hadn't thought of that...oops. | |
| How do I hook uo headphones to my system? He made it clear that there is no tape out, so he can do what I did...buy a (in my case a Chinese tubed version) headphone amp, run it from the preamp out (you have both single ended and XLR outs on that amp), and there ya go. My headphone amp cos... | |
| Hegel h300 or Krell S550i or Music Fidelity M6500i Get the one with the most buttons and knobs or, conversely, the one with the least buttons and knobs. I think any new amp takes time to settle in (and you take time getting used to it) and unless you had all three for a long period of time you rea... | |

| Need low price cartridge for Scoutmaster The Sumiko Pearl is crazy good at 125 bucks, but too inexpensive for those seeking an ego booost from spending more. | |
| Charge for TT setup? I agree that the dealer is simply trying to make an extra buck at the expense of loyalty, so post the name of the dealer in this thread so others can know their policies. | |
| Do you run a high end power cord on your sub? I never claim to speak for anybody else, and, of course, only know Bo from his innane commentary punctuated by hysterical responses not limited to questionable claims of valid experience with live sound, strident misguided and elitist proselytizin... | |
| ARE YOU AN AUDIOPHILE? - FOR THE LOVE OF SOUND My latest gear purchasing consists of a dedicated digital recording computer and interface...plus a great little class D Ampeg bass amp. These require that I do all the work or they just sit there. | |
| Do you run a high end power cord on your sub? The important difference between Bo's world and mine is the fact that I don't claim to have the answers or deem the sound of my dusty old REL sub to be superior to anybody elses rig...I simply state that my system reproduces recorded music very we... | |
| XLR or RCA? Fully balanced signal is what makes live sound reinforcement buzzless and clean (except for electric guitar players with noisy single coil pickups)...with 100 foot (or more) snakes. You can take an unbalanced signal cable from a live musician's in... | |
| Do you run a high end power cord on your sub? Statements like "it is at it is...nothing is as it is" simply isn't much besides gibberish. Risking signal degradation or alteration by using digital room correction to limit and compress sub signals weirdly adjusted up into low midrange frequency... | |
| Do you run a high end power cord on your sub? I rest my case. Again. | |
| XLR or RCA? I used a new pair of balanced cables into a decidedly non balanced but XLR friendly power amp, and they sounded like crap. Seriously...replaced them with much better XLR cables and all is well (although in this case I could be using single ended c... | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? Try hooking your cables up backwards...all hell breaks loose, the cat explodes, and music becomes an unlistenable heap of cacophony rendering the listener on the floor curled into the fetal position wimpering, "stop, please stop." |
