| best speaker wire for buck Time for a reality check. Home Depot 12 gauge wire speaker wire needs to be tried. Keep an open ear. Dare to try this low cost, but very effective solution. Leaves more money for the music, which is really what this all is about. | |
| Monitors for $1500-$2000 with NAD320BEE Integrated I second the monitor plus sub approach, a first step wherein you can check out if your present speakers are not the problem. | |
| The Loudness Wars of Modern Digital Recording Another element in play is the EU regulation on loudness. Yes, big brother is at it again. It seems that somewhere in the Mp3 'tag' there is code that enforces and controls loudness. This tag is not in the original CD mix, but in download music ri... | |
| Audio Rack Construction Check out some of the acoustical parts manufacturers web sites. If I recall, they make some isolation hardware that is used to isolate mechanical equipment from floors. I purchased some of these components in the late eighties when I wanted to qui... | |
| Refurbish a classic amp or replace it? I take a know what your are getting approach. Hold on to and not upgrade the ML3. Seek a replacement that you can bring into your system and hear via a dealer that will give you a loaner. Once you have 'better' sound, buy it and sell off the ML3. ... | |

| Proac 1SC vs Dynaudio Focus 140 I am partial to the ProAc. I have heard the Dynaudio and it was too 'dry', ProAc being warmer. Maybe since I was using tubes, the interaction leaned to ProAC. I would try both in your system in an A/B test. Both of these speakers have great re-sal... | |
| New Cartridge = right channel distortion Replacement is the way to go, as investing anymore time would be silly. Hopefully your dealer will cooperate as my experience with Clearaudio leaves much to be desired. So much so that I would never buy a ClearAudio product again and tell that to ... |
