| Quad 12L or Rogers LS3/5A 11Ohms My brother in law has the LS3/5a and loves them....had his tweeters replaced, (has had them forever). The Quad is hardly a 'run of the mill' box, they are quite good. You should hear both..... the Quad will give you greater output capability. You ... | |
| Target turntable stand the best way to eliminate They work great, should be the answer. | |
| Damping Rega Table The wall mount suggestion is a great one, especially if your room is not on a slab. Try three spikes that are squat and look like cones, they can really 'drain' resonance from the plinth. You can also make a sandbox type base for it to sit on top ... | |
| Pass labs and Totems? My friend uses a Bedini 25/25 class A amp with Totem 1s and it does a great job driving them. The Pass might just work well after all. | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k I would include the latest offerings from Quad and Marsh. You might find a Quad 909 for around $1000 or so and the Marsh 200 and 400 for a little below and above $1000. All worth listen. | |
| New system too bright.Will different cables help ? Start with the DH Lab cables, if they are the silver plated copper ones they can sound bright. If that dosent do it, find someone who will help by switching some of their stuff in and out untill you track down the culprit. Some combinations just d... | |
| Johnny Cash - Rest in Peace When I saw the 'Hurt' video, it was the first video that ever moved me. I used to watch his show when I was a kid.... didnt like country that much, but loved Johnny Cash. A real American Icon. 'American Recordings' was a wonderful surprise, and th... | |
| I would like advice for a beginner. Someone here at A-gon is offering new Castle speakers at 1/2 price, click Audiogon logo, then search 'castle'. Castle makes a nice speaker with superior build and and real wood veneers. Another alterative would be used Quad 11L, very clean with a ... | |
| What does your common sense tell you? The resposibility is on the buyer to make their intentions known. Waiting for an unresponsive possible buyer can cost you the sale. Make clear that other buyers are interested and your intentions and your side is done. People here know if you snoo... | |
| My Worst Nightmare I came home one night carrying some groceries. In the dark it took a second to realize I was putting the bags down where my TV should be.This was quite a while back, they took my TV, NAD 3020, Thorens turntable, but left my 45lb speakers alone. We... | |
| Any Pink Floyd Historians? I agree, the wall was hugely popular and I like it, but their best music, the real creative stuff is on the early albums. Start from the begining and go from there, its worth it. Piper and Saucerful establishe the strange Floyd signature, creative... | |
| Recommend a good Monitor for my existing system I have owned Totem 1, Tyler Ref Monitors and now the Quad 12L. I never got the Tylers to work well in my system. Detail always seemed a little highlighted compared to the others above and to my back up Swan 1 speakers. The Totems and especially th... | |
| My weakest link?? Unless you have great results with an amp that has ultimate bass extention I doubt you will get much more out of the Tylers. I had "better" bass response in my room from my Totem 1 speakers which are much smaller(bass is the biggest challange in m... |
