| Tube-Curious/Pre-amp Why not look into hybrid integrated amps? You could sell or trade your Atoll in. I had a pair of bridged Pathos Classic One MK III's a few years ago that were quite nice and before that miscellaneous Chinese amps, Xindak and Consonace. Soundwis... | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection I haven't compared aes/ebu directly to an xlr interconnect but I was using the Acoustic Zen MC2, rca on one end and bnc on the other, and tried using a .5m Moon Audio Silver Dragon (xlr) in its place (between a Red Dragon S500 and Audio Alchemy DD... | |

| Passive subwoofer too loud. It could just be that the subwoofers are simply more efficient than the satellites so you will get more output from them at the same volume setting on your preamp (?) or other volume control device. A simple fix would be to add a pair of Rothwel... | |
| Post binding for crude tone control bojack---do you know this from personal experimentation? Perhaps that hot top end is only a matter of synergy and yes, changing cables, plugs, & outlets can solve this issue. I have gone through this with an overly bright midrange on a pair ... | |
| Post binding for crude tone control I've had several sets of speakers which were bi-wire/bi-ampable and my experience is that pretty much all those supplied metal plates connecting the bass and satellite sections of the speaker binding post SUCK. Even those with a nice shiny gold p... | |
| Need address to send Paypal credit/Synchrony Bank a demand letter blisshifi---I ask here because I've gotten contradictory mailing addresses for Synchrony bank. Looking to sue Paypal credit/Synchrony bank, I found a website specifically for that purpose, How to Sue Synchrony Bank in Small Claims Court - FairSha... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner In my direct experience, the addition of a good power conditioner/regenerator can and probably will increase the dimensionality of your system. My PS Audio P600 died a couple years ago and NOBODY wanted to fix it. I plugged my amps, sources, and... | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? Which BMI Whales do you have, the Elites or Supremes? I've had both with the Supremes being much better to my ear. One area where the older cords can fall short is in the quality of their plugs. Many companies/builders were using (and some stil... | |
| Regular interconnect or digital? boxcarman: technically, I'm sure that what's been said here is true but you asked about sound quality. With regards to that only, you can certainly use a regular interconnect and get at-least comparable SQ. When I purchased my first separate DA... | |
| Any tricks to remove drivers from a (sticky) cabinet I've had similar problems and found that, with some speakers, it's easiest to remove the binding post plate in the back and push the drivers out from the rear. Usually, this will allow me to remove the woofer(s) and the I can reach my arm up thro... | |
| Question about byamplification plga--I used a similar amp to yours, the JAS Array 2.1, also using 300B and 805 tubes for several years. I used it in a biamp set up using Legacy Focus clones and it drove the midbass, midrange, and tweeters beautifully. I never ran it full ran... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle I tried a few different outlets in my old PS Audio P600 and then tried them in the wall as well. My P600 came with the orange hospital grade outlets. Originally, I bought an Oyaide SWO-GX and an R1. The gold plated GX was marginally better than... | |
| XLR question for bass Ah, I re-read and yes, there are plenty of interconnects that can tighten up the bass range. I have no experience with your interconnects but I have found that gold and some copper can sound loose or excessive. I'm using mostly silver wire in my... | |
| XLR question for bass So, is your question about whether other balanced interconnects can improve your bass quality? And what are you hearing that you don't like? What improvement(s) are you seeking in the bass range? |
