| Better than AQ Midnight + Speaker Cables? Nope. Not brighter at all... What I mean by clarity is that there is more DETAIL: lingering decay on cymbol strikes, more character on drum strikes and human voice, etc; things of that nature.The difference between looking through a dirtier or mor... | |
| Better than AQ Midnight + Speaker Cables? Larryb is right on the money...It's a good cable but to me (and my system) there are better; I went with Cardas.You can check my review of a comparison between Cardas Quadlink 5c and AQ MidnightII here (for what it's worth)...http://www.audioasylu... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Wasn't he in the "Beaty (sic) and the Beast" TV series with Linda Hamilton?Nope. That was Ron "Hellboy" Perlman. | |
| CD's for auditioning Some of mine (that I don't think I saw in the list above):Dianne Reeves - Never Too Far (title cut and "Hello") -(jazz tinged R&B: excellent female vocal, check for midrange presence and choral mass voices on "Never Too Far")Shirley Horn - "Yo... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood I believe on the short lived Cosby Detective TV series he had a set of Carver Amazings (I think).Never did see any source components... | |
| Nightmare You might want to try setting up the speakers on the diagonal as discussed in this paper:http://www.decware.com/paper14.htmIt worked wonders for me in my "Borg-ish" room (10'x11'x9'4" - approximately)...My adventures are noted in AA... you can che... | |

| Aerius Revival I can see it now...DIVORCE COURT:"Your honor, I knew he was an audio freak, but when I caught him taking a warm shower with his SPEAKERS...!"Heh.Seriously, glad everything worked out for you.They are really nice speakers.- DeeCee(P.S., Do NOT tell... | |
| Amp for Aerial 8 Rowland was one of my favorites on the Aerial line and either 10 or 112 should do it justice; however this would of course depend on your room and listening levels.BAT also did a very nice job as well; if you are looking for more bang per buck the... | |
| How to upgrade from Aragon 4004 mkII amp Jack -I think it mainly depends on system synergy... I like my Aragon but someday I want to get a McCormack (I think) - lotsa bang per buck.What the McC seems to offer (in my system) over the Aragon is an ease and "natural" refinement along with t... | |
| ASC Sound Panels I have the flutter stix (which is now a specialty item). Expensive, but they helped tame about 80-90% of the slap echo in my room without killing off the sound.Excellent WAF.Don't expect any effect in the bass region; it did improve in regard to c... | |
| jumper materials/methods. All kinds are out there (though) rare:Mapleshade Records makes a set of custom made.Cardas does jumpers too,I *think* Analysis Plus makes them also. But I think it is probably best to match your own wire as Marakanetz sez.Happy Listening!- DeeCee |
