| What am I hearing There is a track on Ginger Baker's "Going Back Home" (I think #3) where Bill Frisell's guitar sounds likes it's coming from way off to the right and way in front of the speakers. I have a door in to the room near there and it sounds like he is out... | |
| Recommendations for best most efficient speakers Unless you define what "cost prohibitive" means to you it is unlikely you will get a good answer. I was going to recommend Avantgarde Trios with multiple Basshorns but they are prohibitive at over $100,000 so I recommend the much more reasonbale D... | |
| What is a passive preamp? Mr wear, from their official website as I pointed out in a link in a previous post.http://www.audioresearch.com/products.html MP1 Multichannel Preamplifier SP17 Class-A Full-Function Vacuum Tube Preamplifier LS17 Class-A Vacuum Tube Stereo Line Pr... | |
| What is a passive preamp? Sorry Mr. Wear, you are incorrect. Here's a lesson for you and your giggling buddies at the stereo shop.. The signal coming out of a typical CD player or other line level source is enough to drive most amplifiers way past clipping. Therefore, even... | |
| What is a passive preamp? and you were surely joking when you said a preamp had to have a phono stage? Since most preamps (even active ones) in normal operation are usually used to reduce the signal level, not increase it, shouldn't they really be called pre-attenuators? | |
| What is a passive preamp? A linestage is a preamplifier that can only deal with line level sources (CD players, DACs, tape decks, tuners) i.e. it is a preamplifier that does not have a phono stage. | |
| What is a passive preamp? Rwwear, if you look at their website they lump all of them in the category preamplifiers and all have preamplifier in their name.. Even if they did describe them as you say, which they don't, just because AR calls them one thing does not make it s... | |
| What is a passive preamp? preamp means "before the amplifier."Those who think a passive preamp shouldn't be called that because it doesn't amplify don't understand the English language.Active preamps and passive preamps all come "before the amplifier" so the nomenclature i... | |
| Step down voltage for Japan to US turntable Transformers don't limit the voltage, they only change it by a fixed ratio. If you buy a 120-100 then that ratio is 6-5. If you feed it 125 it will output 104.2VSince the voltage in Japan varies as much or more than it does here I think that is ac... | |
| Room Treatments and WAF? Long I went back and re-read my posts. I can't find any references to fish tanks. I simply recommended what I have found to work. I apologize if this offends you in some way. It is obvious I am ill equipped to debate a razor-sharp intellect like yourse... | |
| Room Treatments and WAF? Long Mr jstark. Thank you for sharing. I must say you really brought a lot into the discussion with your mature and highly enlightening response. The truth is that most audiophiles don't have any idea how a room interacts with their system and blindly... | |
| Room Treatments and WAF? Long Needing to treat first reflection points is a myth. I'm not sure the rear is as much of a problem as you think. Unless the glass rattles it probably doesn't reflect much if any more than any other type of wall. For something effective try these.Ei... |
