| Do my Dynaudio Evidence Temptations require more amp? I know it’s late, but I’ll weigh in anyway...I drive my Temptations with a pair of Mac MC501s (500w each) and use a Mac C200 dual chassis pre. The Temps sound fantastic at any volume level, but in particular at low levels where a lot of speakers f... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? It's your speakers.From a review: "The overall sound can get a little grainy if pushed too hard" | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. You can get a Platine Verdier with arm and cart for your indicated budget (new) or buy a used one and then an arm and cart of your choice.These TTs always generate a lot of interest and are impressive to look at (statically and operating), but not... | |
| Best "pseudo" multi channel from 2 ch sources Either the Spread Spectrum Technologies Trinaural processor or the Miles Tech M86 (5 channel) or the M44 (3 channel) processor will do what you want using a 2-channel source. Both of these are analog domain processors; no need to go digital if you... | |
| Can anyone recommend a good balanced phono cable 03-30-11: MarakanetzBigbucks,It's a piece of cake to rewire tonearm for balanced cables by splitting ground wire onto both channels and than connecting pos-neg correspondedly to XLR plugs. The cartridge output is realy meant to be balanced, but th... | |
| Can anyone recommend a good balanced phono cable Keep in mind that just because you order phono cables with XLR connectors DOESN'T automatically make them balanced. I found this out when I contacted Kimber to see how they wired up their phono cable with XLRs one one end and a DIN on the other...... | |
| Cables – Speaker as well as interconnects – ugghh I just went thru the same thing. I moved my amps to the side of the room, where before they had been between the speakers. I needed much longer cables, so I went with Signal Cables Ultra - a 22 ft one and a 14 ft one so that I wouldn't end up with... | |

| Help to store hi-rez on external hard drive. I have no idea what Prpixel is talking about. The Touch interfaces with a USB drive. A USB RAID 1 configured HD is a still a USB drive. From an external point of view, the Touch has no idea if the HS is RAID 1 or not. You can always pull one of th... | |
| Help to store hi-rez on external hard drive. Wouldn't the best solution for you be this?1) Rip your music to your PC using EAC with the FLAC add on2) Save the files on a RAID 1 configured USB hard drive with 2 ITB modules3) When done putting your music on the HD, connect it to a Logitech Tou... | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership Just the opposite here. I gor tired of the 'song nervosa' method of listening to music that results from having a music server. Equivalent to channel surfing with the TV.With analog, I HAVE to listen to the entire side, so I just relax rather than... | |
| How long do you wait for a check to clear 12-15-10: Slikric3000There was a law passed some years ago that when a check is presented to a bank it is processed immediately, it should clear the next day, mine does. No more check floating for the floaters.---------------------Yes, the check m... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? 12-05-10: MagfanIt would seem that as the ambient temperature and temperature of the electronics got closer and closer, the amount of HEAT transferred would get less and less. It maybe that BigBucks is right, but I don't see it. The constant delta... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? 12-04-10: MagfanHeat and temperature are 2 different things. And NO, the amp won't always be the same temp delta from ambient. In SS, for example, you have a max temp possible....say the junction temp of the devices. In a hot room wont' the differ... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? 12-03-10: MagfanThe amount of heat your gear will 'give up' to the environment is related to the difference in temp. If your amp runs at 100f in a 100f room, very little heat will be transferred. In a 65f room, you've got no problems.-------------... |
