| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? I know my magnet wire is not exactly the same, but it does have a red, thin film covering the wires. I've read it referred to as enamel. The coating on my wire is very, very, thin- but preparing the bare ends took some elbow grease. I ended up usi... | |
| sub with totem staff You will be fine adding a sub. It will be helpful to read up on how to integrate the sub, as there are differing wiring and calibrating methods depending on the sub and your preferences. There also are sealed and vented sub endclosures, which are ... | |
| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? I twisted some 14ga magnet wire and use it for speaker cable, cost was $25 for around 250'. It sounds fine to me, but my system is not high end (6-7k) so it may not be a good sample. It's stiff, but in my case it's not a problem. | |
| New Room (from House to Apt) advice wanted on minimizing complaints Fwiw, I use a Dspeaker Anti Node in my home theater. It works well removing unwanted peaks, nodes, etc. After running the correction program the sub is more controlled and appropriate, not as 'loud'. I don't enjoy hyped bass.While setting up the p... | |
| New Room (from House to Apt) advice wanted on minimizing complaints I agree with talking to them- good advice. Same if you have someone above or below you.Also, I agree with asking if you can step in long enough to hear how loud a certain level on the volume knob is and use that as a guide. You may be good as it s... | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? I have the Anthem 225i. I went to it from a Sonic Frontier pre and Monarchy mono-blocks.It's a no frills unit but sounds good to me, plenty of power for anything I need to drive. I like the simplicity. | |
| Please recommend a $1500 SS or Hybrid integrated to pair with Silverline 17.5 monitors I've used my Anthem 225 Integrated with Silverline Minuets and it sounded nice.Different speaker, but I've been happy with the Anthem across the board. Plenty of power, sounds great- not a lot of bells and whistles. | |
| Technics SL1200 MK2 Cartridge Alignment +1 czarivey-I've used to inexpensive overhang gauge for years and it works fine for me. You can find them online for around $10.gary | |

| Bookshelf speakers on a budget Probably so, the Elac is well thought of in general. It may be just what you need. I think I could use them and be pretty happy, personally. I have seen the Elac for sale used on here- unless you want the ability to return them.However, they are n... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a budget You bet. Have fun learning, but in the end it's not difficult to put together a nice little system. My girlfriend's system:2 Mission standmounts w/stands (used on Craigslist)lepai 2020 t amp (Amazon)bluetooth receiver (Amazon)Cost was less $125 fo... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a budget Yes, several of them are good values in my opinion. If you take the time to read up on a few of them, both in that article and out, you will start getting a sense of the features and benefits of different models and what is available.For example, ... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a budget I agree with Paraneer. It's not about loudness. A lot of speakers will operate with 10 watts and thrive- others will sound okay but not as good as they would with some headroom- in my opinion. Sounds like the Dali's are a good match for small tube... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a budget The discounted (discolored driver) Elacs are on Amazon in your budget, fwiw- I saw them today. Not sure if returns are accepted, etc.I don't know how they will work with your gear in your room- that's the true test. The Elac reviews are generally ... |
