| Frank Sinatra at the Sands Thanks everybody!!! | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Technics 1200 with Shure V-15 Type III cart. This will give the non-revealing edgy unsophisticated crass sound you crave. No, really. Best of luck. | |
| First Hand Experience? I've owned Rotel pieces, not that one exactly, but experienced their version of mid-fi. They don't overcharge for what you get, it's just boring. Why not an Odyssey piece?What do you want it all to do? You've left so many gaps: room size, sour... | |
| Merlin TSM-M (MXE) Owners manual The toe-in is 10 degrees. The "tool" Bobby sent is a right triangle slice of wood cut at that angle. You could use a piece of paper for that matter, place it on the floor and make your adjustments. | |
| Thoughts on replacing caps in 30 year old speakers Why not. Projects are fun and you derive satisfaction from hearing the distinct improvement. Would not go nuts with Mundorf and Jorma internal wiring, but within reason it's a good idea. | |
| what kind of amp. are good for b&w 802d that will not cost my arm and legs? What do you want to do with all of this? Is this for 2 channel stereo or surround sound movie theater? With so many speakers it sounds like a home theater set-up. If that is so then you will need a 5 or 7 channel receiver of very good quality a... | |
| Back to it - Practical speaker upgrade Kind of all over the map here.You've left out a key component (the source other than TV) to determine some key factors. If the source is mediocre well then it is no wonder the Rega speakers did not impress.This is like baking a cake, you cannot l... | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? In response to french_fries reference to MQA BORG technology, I'm sending my audio flux capacitor immediately to Ric Shultz for the full Millenium Falcon Level lll modification rendering all cloaking of reference recordings futile. How many sheke... | |
| Building a system from scratch (other than speakers) Approaching just the amplification matter, those who choose tube amplification for MLs usually do it because MLs are oft unlistenable with SS, notice I stated oft not always. Very harsh and revealing. An Allnic Audio T-1500 listed on A'gon would... | |
| Speaker Pairing to Tube amp (Please help) What could possibly go wrong with 25 wpc tube power with the Rega speakers? They are efficient enough and will throw harder than your current speakers. | |
| Am I too cynical? It's a jungle out there......and you're smeared with meat product. You are absolutely correct in your assessment. So many of the "A" components are disappointing and relatively unknown small companies can throw out great pieces for very reasonab... | |
| Amp for desktop setup, low volume listening Different direction, why not active speakers like Vanatoo or Dynaudio? Less real estate paired with a digital source. | |
| Standmount speakers with Line Magnetic 518 SET amp? The de Capos are really good, though I like sealed box better and the little Harbeths are now particularly good.......they weren't before. They deal very well with room acoustics because of the sealed box, you don't play loudly so that is not an ... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? Yes, we are there. However, they are here, they are real in performance and they are not perfect..... as most things unfortunately in life. Mine by a large margin outperforms any highly modified transport I ever owned.However, I cannot for the l... | |
| Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please Need it be an integrated? For 4K you could look at used Manley Jumbo Shrimp with Manley Mahi Mahi which would absolutely rock the Rogue (no offense) as the price levels are quite different. You talk about lush tube sound, extended highs and tigh... |
