| Sound Anchor stands for B W 805 Matrix Hi, had these speakers w/these stands for many years and the improvement in bass response and mids was amazing. I also had Sound Anchor stands under my Matrix 801s, and currently use these stands under Boston Acoustics monitors and my ARC VT100 am... | |
| Am I on the right analog track? Hi, I agree with the previous poster who recommended you listen to some excellently recorded LPs, the 180 gram versions, before judging your TT setup. I have tons of vinyl and a top of the line Linn turntable system, and some records still sound h... | |
| Ensemble Cables? Anyone Use them? Hi, I've purchased power cords and power conditioning products from Brian at Artistic Audio, the Ensemble importer/dealer in SoCal you are talking about, as well as used Ensemble digital cables (2) and a set of Ensemble Megaflux speaker cable from... | |
| intro to tubes Hi Yamski, just a quick note to point out that not all tubed preamps need to be retubed each year. My Audio Research tube preamps (I've owned several) went for 3 and 4 years before I finally broke down and ordered more tubes (preamps tubes are che... | |
| Tubes for Audio Research LS-15 I have the LS-15 and recently got some Siemens 6922s and some Sovtek 6922 old stock tubes as, I hope, an upgrade. You can contact Upscale Audio (website is upscaleaudio.com) or thetubestore.com for recommendations and purchases. Also, there is cur... | |
| What to do when you receive damage goods Bob, I was the shipper on two occasions of items that arrived damaged. I had insured both times w/Fed Ex, and either shipper OR buyer can file a claim. If your seller is being so uncooperative, and unfair, file the claim yourself. All you need is ... | |
| Tight Bass Yeah, what Sean said is what I mean when I say "tight bass"!! I was just trying to describe a musical, non-boomy sound. Sean has given me the words now to describe the type of tight bass I hear from my ARC VT100 and Genesis 500s: wet bass.Thanks, ... | |
| The "Broken Blue Point Special Club" Friends! There is another opportunity to break a BPS if you buy the one listed for $150 today in the classifieds. I'm considering it, but the fear has come over me and my hands are already shaking. | |
| My own audio store Back to what Jefflois started with: an abundance of systems. I am single and live in a pretty good sized 3-story townhouse. I have always maintained, fed, groomed and enjoyed the highest-end system I could put together downstairs in my listening r... | |
| Setting up a Subwoofer Hi, I had too much boom on my REL Storm III (dealer set it up for me and put it in the corner) so I bought some Audiopoints (8 mm threaded 1 1/2" ones) and replaced the factory spikes w/them and the boom is GONE!! I did no other adjustments to the... | |
| ARC tubes v. other tubes Thanks so much for your responses. Any recommendations for other brands of 6550s? or for the 6922s that come in the ARC preamps? | |
| The "Broken Blue Point Special Club" I have not broken a Blue Point Special, but I managed to destroy a brand new Benz Glider, which is also a "naked" cartridge, in january. I sent it to Benz in Switzerland for retipping at half the price of a new cartridge, and am still waiting to g... | |
| New to seperates...need suggestions Scoly, I have to disagree with a previous post that recommended you upgrade your speakers first. You've already tried that and got your answer, I think. If you have anything to spend, spend it on a better amp and preamp. Buy used if you have to, t... | |
| Electrocompaniet vs. Resolution Audio Hi, I owned both the EMC-1 and the CD-55 and auditioned them for about a month to see which I preferred. It was really hard to pick, but I went w/the EMC-1 because of its more analog-like (to me) sound. When I a/b/c'ed the two CD players w/my Linn... | |
| Best Repair center for Pioneer LD player Hey Chris, it's Sarah--JS Audio in Bethesda has repaired (actually, sent stuff around the corner to a repair shop they use) two of my Pioneer LD/DVD players so far. You can call Joe or Mike at JS Audio, 301-656-7020, for help. I'm not sure they ca... |
