| Rehab or replace a faceplate? You can get a new one from Tice, or have yours painted, which will make it look grat, but different from the factory version. Either way, it will be expensive, unless you do it yourself. Probably easier to buy a fresher one on the gon, and take th... | |
| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion Sean, we could get you a list of highend amps, give you the specs- I am sure you couldn't answer andy's question. Especially more subjective things like listener fatigue. Look, Eldartford's answer makes perfect sense. Of course Andy and I don't ig... | |
| Halcro Amps with Richard Gray? Buy one used. At least the gray works in parallel, not series. I don't use one, as I agree with Dewinkle, but if you try it used, and sell it used, you're only out a little time and trouble. Hey, it's not even trouble- it will be fun for you to he... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have I sold mine after some yahoo in a pickup almost killed me. I was flying along with traffic and came up to a dead stop. This is extremely common in the bay area. I had an extremely bad vibe- kind of butterflies in the back of my neck, and a pulled ... | |
| Recommendations for banana plugs Spades are better...better connection. Nordost/ cardas bananas fine and dandy. Don' think you can go wrong here. | |
| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's Used Revel gems/ revel sub on the gon right now for half price- 8000. | |
| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion Welllll...I'll agree to disagree, because I know that "The one that truely specs out great MUST sound great" is not true. It only means the unit performs well on that test. Music is much more complex than audio industry specs are good for. Further... | |
| headphone amp setup question Call me lazy Jim, but I'd use the pre-amp out just so I could use my remote control. If you listen to classical, as I do , sometimes the orchestra swells to ear crushing levels at a crescendo. Of course, sometimes I listen to Dire Straits and want... | |
| Class A Amplifiers and impedance dips chryslers_rule - You don't want the government in your stereo, do you? Class A amps run the output transistors ALL the time. This allows purity of signal. The disadvantage is the transistor that is left on all the time runs very hot. This means yo... | |
| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion Marakanetz- you are missing my point. The Yamaha doesn't sound as good at 20 watts. Or 5 watts. Or 1 watt. I'm trying to point out you can't hear specs, but IF YOU ENGINEER A PRODUCT TO SPEC OUT WELL (because that is what the buying public is look... | |
| strange rel subwoofer cable phenomenon Oh yeah- I meant the cable upgrade from cd to pre-amp and pre-amp to amp made a difference ( I upgrade both pairs at once). My speakers have a built in sub, so I don't use one. | |
| Why do only US makers focus on time coherency? Sean- what is prat?hammy | |
| Loud Hum Dynasys- No, if you turn off the lights, and the hum remains, it's a ground loop problem. Good thing; you don't have to listen in the dark! You don't need a separate ground for the wiring. In my system, I had a terrible time getting rid of the hum... | |
| The tweeter on my speaker has a crater...Help sorry jdcrox, you're right! Wasn't paying enough attention. | |
| Reasonable tube phono stage for Oracle Alexandria? What advantages does the 10X5 have readster? I'm sure it's better, but please elaborate. |
