| Best Remote $1,250 used preamp? Hi Paul; The Sonic Frontiers Line 1 is an excellent pre-amp with all the functions you could want on the "way cool" remote-- and besides that it also sounds great. I have both a Line 2 SE and a standard Line 1, and can highly recommend either. Whi... | |
| DVD-A, XRCD..... where do YOU get them online? XRCDs, SACDs, and HDCDs are also available at www.fimpressiom.com | |
| TRELJA in New York, 2002 Hi Joe; Thanks for sharing your observations on the New York Hifi show, I really enjoyed the read. Cheers. Craig | |
| Would a Fabric Room Divider Interfere with sound? Hi AJ; I'm no expert either, but it seems to me that any cloth in front of the speakers is going to absorb the high frequencies to some extent and likely make the sound/music less dynamic. As I'm sure you know, many audiophiles take the grill clot... | |
| Musical Healing Good thread K; I'm not a major fan of classical music, but for "healing" purposes, I do like soft soothing chamber music-- could definitely be by Mozart. Outside of light classical though, I like the Cowboy Junkies ballads, and smooth jazz ballads... | |
| Biggest Improvement Speaker Cable Or Interconnects I agree with Philefreak. While both are important, It's been my experience that speaker cables can "color" music more significantly than ICs-- other things being equal. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Spkr Cables . Can you use 2 diff brands at once? Good post Scott. It seems we were posting at the same time, and you said it better than I did. Cheers. Craig | |
| Spkr Cables . Can you use 2 diff brands at once? Darryl; I can't comment on the electronic effects (if any), but the two speakers will most likely sound different with different brand speakers cables going to each-- maybe even significantly different. I would expect there to be poor musical cohe... | |
| Tom Waits Thanks Debsal. We were posting at the same time, and had very similar thoughts. Cheers. Craig | |
| Tom Waits I'll stand by my post. Tom Waits is a song writing genius, but the CD of Holly Cole singing his songs has many beautifully done songs on it-- certainly different than Tom Waits singing his own works but still excellent in it's own right. And her "... | |
| What is internal and external biwire? A written description of the difference between internal and external biwiring can be very confusing. But to visualize, the external method just means that there are four separate wires going to four separate terminals on each speaker, and of cour... | |
| Legacy Focus...why?? Aram; I would just add that while the Paradigm Ref. Studio 100s are nice sounding speakers (I have a nearby Paradigm dealer, so I'm familiar with them), I too don't believe that they are in the same league as many speakers anywhere near the price ... | |
| Legacy Focus...why?? Ligi; a couple of excellent and informative posts on the Legacy Focus speakers. At one time I had them on my list as a potential upgrade because of their size, appearance, and "apparent" value for money (many drivers)-- but I never did get a chanc... | |
| Tom Waits I like Tom Waits too, but my favorite music of his is Holly Cole's "Temptations" which is a CD of her singing his songs. Cheers. Craig | |
| Which worse- long I/C of speaker run Last fall I went from 4 ft. ICs to the same brand and Model of ICs that were 15 ft. long. At the same time I decreased speaker cable runs from 14 ft. to 6 ft. It was my experience that music quality actually improved by doing this-- it sounds more... |
