[Vintage-Audio] Re: Help With Gear Specs, Please

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hey Bob,

Good to hear from you direction!

Why forget the CD player? Problems with this model? Or?

It is for my fourteen year old grandson, by the way. DBF already has two
high end single units by Sony and Yamaha!

I am not a sub-woof woof fan either! A woofer is a woofer! I can control
what signal it receives by the crossover frequency. If it will handle from
200 Hz down to 20 Hz, and do it efficiently, why would I need anything else?

Now I am running good speakers, not  some dinky satellite system thing that
is supposed to emulate the concert sound of a real live concert! Because
they use "four inch", sometimes a huge six inch, 'woofer', yea, they need
some help! I think the phrase is "bass response"! Otherwise you get a Woof
that never made it to puberty and got a low voice!
