| Amps for Vandersteen 3a Sigs Peter, I had a pair of 3a Sigs that I drove with a McCormack DNA-0.5 deluxe and it had no problem filling a large (400 sq. ft.) room as loud as I cared to play them. I don't think your cousin will have a problem and the subs will make them that m... | |
| Phasing I can attest to the fact that speakers do need break-in. When I bought my current speakers (used) I thought I had made a horrible mistake. There was no bass at all. After a few days, the woofers loosened up and everything was fine. I was quite... | |
| When you suddenly realize.... Also agree. In my case, having so much available sometimes causes a sort of paralysis. I don't know what I want to listen to next. That's where the "stations" and playlists come in handy - great for finding artists you don't know or think about... | |
| Mea culpa for Uptone Iso Regen USB And kudos to you ghasley, as well, for having the courage to post about it. As @chrshanl37 said THIS is what the forums ought to be about - not some of the crap we see daily where some of us criticize and bash each other.After you have a little e... | |
| Has anyone purchased the new Elac Adante floorstanders yet? You might want to try the Brooklyn as a preamp into the XA60s. You may or may not like the sound but it also might balance the warmness of the Pass amps - either way, you'll learn something. My other thought is that we're talking about two diffe... | |
| Preamp tubes ran their life? Todd, as Kenny pointed out a little judicious tube swapping can lead you to a bad tube if the distortion is channel-specific. You don't mention what "way up" might mean but 15 hrs/week for 1.5 years puts you in the 1,200 hour range. Unless you h... | |
| Backward Albums? What? I store all of my albums backwards already. It's MUCH better for preserving the album covers (and albums too). Since you have no hope of finding what you're looking for, you never bother to pull them out and damage them!! | |
| Musician vs. audiophile @uberwaltz touched on this but I didn't see it discussed in any of the previous posts (although I could have missed it). It sounds like you heard the McIntosh/Martin Logan setup in the store - not in the same room as the BAT/Wilson system. Could... | |
| Dude, where's my bass? Oh, lost to stiffened rubber surrounds...who knew? Check with Bill LeGall at Millersound (http://www.millersound.net/index.html). He can advise you as to whether it's cost-effective to repair your speakers or not. Dick | |
| DbPoweramp Rip Well, sound quality will be affected by everything from the quality of the original recording to the remastering (if applicable) and finally the resolution of the playback system so sampling rate is not a guarantee of good sound. For CDs, you're ... | |
| DbPoweramp Rip dhlesg, what are you thinking the sampling frequency should be? The native resolution of CDs is 44.1 KHz/16 bit. If I remember correctly, dbPoweramp has the ability to resample the rip to a higher (or lower) rate using the DSP add-in section but... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Robert,Thanks for the detailed impressions. Keep 'em coming if you don't mind posting. Like @kb54 above, I've been interested in the DAC-3 and the Brooklyn. Now that the DAC+ has come out it just makes the decision harder and the speed at which ... | |
| High Speed Internet Radio List Robert,Here's a couple that I found with a quick search. I'm pretty sure I've used the first one before for a couple of stations.Dickhttp://radiobit.50webs.com/ http://www.vtuner.com/setupapp/guide/asp/BrowseStations/BrowsePremiumStations.asp?sSo... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @robob Christmas comes early!!!Dick |
