How can a 30 watt, 28 year old amp sound more
I think I agree with you Runnin, this NAD is definitely EQ'ed to boost certain frequencies...Just seems to work well with the ATC's... 
How can a 30 watt, 28 year old amp sound more
Point taken Ddd1... I am not mentioning brands for the 120 watt amp and Pre as I may be selling them and would rather not give the impression that they are not great pieces.I was only looking for input from the more "technical" folks as to what co... 
How can a 30 watt, 28 year old amp sound more
Well this throws all my pre-concieved notions out the window. From now on it's listen and decide, forget the specs :-)I would rather not mention the brands of the pre and amp the NAD replaced as both are very very highly regarded and do sound grea... 
Sound Anchor Blue Dots or BluTack??
Life Chayro..., Life :) many moves, many set ups later thought I would post an update ;-) 
Sound Anchor Blue Dots or BluTack??
2013 Update:I have now had the opportunity to try many speakers on different speaker stands using all 3. I recently did a direct comparison of Blue-Tack v/s Herbies Fat Dots (One speaker on Blue-Tack the other on Herbies) using the balance control... 
Technics 1200 turntable, do I need a Phono Pre?
Got my brother's Technics 1200 MK II table and after cleaning up candle wax and what looked like dried up Bourbon from under the platter (hey it is a DJ table) and adjusting the arm height and stylus weight started spinning records. I have not had... 
Technics 1200 turntable, do I need a Phono Pre?
Thanks, great suggestions. I ended up ordering the NAD PP2I from AA since I run a NAD 370. I may try others, the 640A perhaps...Cheers 
Can you compare NAD C370 with Portal Panache Int.
Sandstone, you are right, I too recall never hearing a hum on previous NAD's, so I did some checking and sure enough, I had a light fixture in the same room on "dimmer" which was causing the hum. Duh... Cheers 
Is it okay to talk around your speakers?
I don't talk much to my speakers, other than the occasional "Thank you" after I give them a good Hug!!! 
Speaker footers – Ugh
used Soler Points from member esoler on many speakers and speaker stands with terrific results. They "drain" energy very effectively. Expect to feel like the bass goes missing at first only to realize later that only "bloat" is missing while bass ... 
Audiophile Addiction
My time in the man cave is my "meditation" time. Without it on a regular basis my stress level shoots way up! Properly de-stressed I can spend time with the family :-)The hardware tweaking is fun but ultimately must be in the service of music. My ... 
Sound Anchor Blue Dots or BluTack??
Rbrowne: since your experience was with Sound Anchor Stands and all three (blue dots, blu tack and Herbies) and you liked the Herbies, what was their effect compared to the blue dots?I replaced the spikes on my sound anchors recently with the exce... 
Overdue goose bumps
Primus... Interesting! which is your favorite album 6550C? 
Salk Songbirds or Totem Arros for bedroom system?
Have not heard the Arros, but I had a pair of Salk's Songbirds that sounded wonderful, except I felt they are voiced for tubes, they sounded a tad "thin" in the mid bass despite the fact that I drove them with a warmish McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe Ed... 
Can anyone rate the salk songtower qwt speakers?
I asked Jim about the ribbon tweeters, he said it would be worth while if you like classical only, where you can say hear a long decay with a triangle etc...But for all sorts of music, the std tweeter is plenty good. I don't use the grills but yes...
