| Room Treatments to Minimize Interactions I also use ASC tube traps and panel diffusors with good results in my 14 X 22 ft. room. 33 X 21 Ft. is an impressive room size. You should have lots of options in that size room. Good Luck. Craig | |
| How many cd/dvd/sacd/cdr's players do you own? I now have a total of 5 digital players; including 2 ML 37 transports that I intend to periodically alternate in my big rig. A Sony ES carosel player in a 2nd system, a Marantz CD-Recorder/player, and a decent portable. Also 2 portable cassette pl... | |
| Cowboy Junkies 'Open' on SACD Thanks JD;>). I find myself in heavy disagreement with Thedautch re the Cowboy Junkies music. IMHO, the Cowboy Junkies have many excellent CDs, and the abberation was the "Open" CD-- it was just "ungood" music. I love "The Caution Horses", "Wal... | |
| Best looking / worst looking amps & preamps I see in Audio Advisor that Perreaux has redesigned and dramatically (improved) the appearance of their amps and pre-amps. They now look more "industrial" and more conventional (and pretty good!). It was a previous series that was so gross-- don't... | |
| Best looking / worst looking amps & preamps Best looking pre-amps: Sonic Frontiers Line series w/ black faceplate & ARC LS25/MKII/Ref 2 in silver-- ML 38/380S series also looks good. In amps, I was always partial to the sexy looking Classe's-- before the Omega series. There are many rea... | |
| beware of buying "used" CDR players-recorders Hi Ramstl; could you provide that site (more specifically) on where to purchase TY blank CD-Rs? I assume TY is Taio Yuden (sp?). I've read that they are supposed to be good blanks. I tried American Digital and could not find a reference to CD-Rs a... | |
| Bananas over ARC VT-100 Glen; I guess you like those cables-- what are they? Cheers. Craig | |
| Cowboy Junkies 'Open' on SACD Hi John; if The Trinity Session were to come out in SACD, I would either buy an SACD player, OR buy the disc for a friend who does have a 777ES. Intriquing prospect. About the "Open" album-- you're right-- it pretty well sucks. The CJs worst effor... | |
| What are your thoughts of the Tower design of amps I think you guys nailed it Brian. I've never seen a tower type amp that wasn't a mono-bloc-- and I do like the looks of the Levinson H amps and also Classe's new 200 and 350 monos. Cheers. Craig | |
| what will make the greatest differance in sound. Going from a ARC to a ML 380S pre-amp should certainly make your system sound different, but whether it's better or not would be strictly a matter of (your) personal preference, and of course only you can decide that. Finding ways to audition such... | |
| Coolest looking speaker ever ? I'd add the Thiel series of speakers from about the 2.3 up through the 7.2. And also the new Proac speakers that have the slanted front. Cheers. Craig | |
| Headphones, or Speakers??? Many audiophiles (for whatever reason) simply do not like listening w/ headphones-- but I'm not one of them. I use Senn. 600s plugged into my SF L2SE preamp (w/headroom circuitry) as "backups" to my speaker system and at times when I can't listen ... | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? Hi Scott; I've got to agree with your nomination of the Avante Garde jobs-- gotta' be the ugliest I've ever seen (pictures only of course). After a night of heavy drinking, I've woke up with better looking speakers than those. The Spica Angelus (s... | |
| Coolest looking speaker ever ? I like Ken's 3A sigs too, but I've got to go with my own Vandersteen 5s-- but in matched rosewood (mine are in oiled walnut and are nice too, but not a "premium" finish). Cheers. Craig | |
| Trigger Happy Negative Feedback I agree with the above comments too, but let's not give up on a system that mostly works pretty darn well. I'd for sure want to work something out with Audiogon, and also know something about the guy that left the negative feedback-- maybe he got ... |
