| 2 channel home theatre A .1 is a must. Many great subs out there and it will add a great pick up in the sound of your speakers. | |
| Should Equalizers make a comeback? Yes, just one more thing that should be in every goners tool kit. Lets you explore better sound. | |
| Good Sound under $500 I would agree with jrinkerptdnet, ProAc tablettes are a good choice. Also consider a used re-foamed pair of Boston Acoustics A40's. I have the 1SC's, tablettes and the A40's. All sound good with solid state, but I run the 1SC's with tubes for a 'w... | |
| Matching speaker to amplifier? Years ago I asked ProAC which amps they used to test there speakers. Would not tell me, as they felt it was a matter for MI15, or a break in to the factory. | |
| Goat Hair Brush Can't wait until Michale Femmer jumps on this as the must have brush, and of course he will make a video of exactly how to properly do the brushing. All for $39.95 plus shipping and handling. | |
| A shelf for my center channel speaker? Keep it below, not above. I have a sound anchor stand you might be interested in. | |
| Seeking Amp recommendation... Please hear some of the Cayin stuff. Great sound, value and service. I have the 100, 88 and VAS I's. All should be considered. They beat Mac's. hands down. | |
| Remembering Ray Charles Phil Ramon, who produced many of Ray's music, wrote about recording him in his book "Making Records", which is a great read. An yes, Ray was a genius. | |
| EAR 834P Phono Pre I agree, over rated. I had personal experience with two different models of the the 834. I move up to a VAS Citation I, as a pre with many, many features. Much better sound. I have tried the ARC PH 3 and 5 and also found them lacking. | |
| magnetic drive turntables Best you couple your 'magnetic drive TT' with an electron microscope base, only course if you have the $50,000. Don't fall for the hype, and stealing, that these hi end TT promise. | |
| $12K Laser turntable vs $12k hi-fi turntable? Forget the laser. A few years ago when I and a partner wanted to distribute Keith Monks record cleaners, we found that the laser needed a super clean record. Otherwise, your sound will be magnified for defects. | |
| What would be the best "attainable" Denon turntabl Do a denon 47F with a 160 cartridge, but only if you can pick one up, not shipped. That way it will work. Shipping, regardless of packing will damage the unit. | |
| SACD player with digital input I suggest you don't invest anymore in SACD and wait for the Blu-Ray Audio releases. If you have any of the 2L blu ray releases, that often come with the SACD equivalent, you will get some idea of the things to come. I have their Trondheimsolistene... | |
| Cartridge 4 Denon Direct Drive DP-59L Turntable I second the shure m97xe. I use it on a couple of denon's I have given away to my kids. Great sound. | |
| Audio Gear Opinions Before you spend another dime, read Toole's 'Sound REproduction'. Set up will be everything. |
