| Best Tweaks..... Foot sanding stones (wrapped in saran wrap to keep powder from rubbing off) under the CDP. Not as good as roller balls but better than rubber or plastic feet. | |
| CD-R discs for music Jea48, where do you get Taiyo Yuden? I'd like to give them a try.I burned the black Momorex on my Marantz CDR500 and hated it. Muddy, incoherent, fuzzy sound. YMMV.I currently use Sony CDR Audio color was a dark blue/green now a light blue/green. ... | |
| Help choose a power amp Bryston or Krell will give you some bass. | |
| Myth: low-power high-efficiency The best option I can come up with is something like the new Jordan JXR6 HD 2" driver which goes to 80hz and useful bass into the 60's. Maybe put two drivers in each cabinet. This is good for vocals etc. Fostex is anothere option for higher effici... | |
| New Digital Switching Amplifiers I know with me some do:"When I had the PS Audio, it gave me headaches like when I listen to CD's from the Cranberries" | |
| NAD vs Cambridge audio vs Music hall From your 3 NAD is best but try Creek 4330 if you don't mind going used. | |
| Retrofit remote volume to integrated tube? Why do you want a motorized volume but no remote?Anyhow:eshop.diyclub.biz has MV-01 for a paltry $32.00. But 100k pot.dantimax.com has nice $29.60 Rem1kit but you have to solder it yourself.www.audioelectronicsupply.com has RVC-2 kit premade for $... | |
| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? Auaarons yes, when I get bored with music is when I start thinking about the sound of the system. But it's the music I'm missing.Cwlondon, nice to hear someone hears what I do :-). I think a gaincard or gainclone would give *some* of what you miss... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Goeff's products add to the sham which is hi-end audio today IMO. As Stereophile states "sales of home audio components dropped 30% between 2003 and 2005". So maybe the consumer is starting to smarten up. So keep driving people away with this luna... | |
| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? Auaarons, so what did you end up with? I'm in the process of doing the same thing. When you don't spend a lot of money, you don't worry so much.I somehow connect the statement "the devil is in the details" with hi-end audio. Defined as:"The devil ... | |
| whats your idea of loud music. I'm listening to Suzanne Vega right now at 60dB. Sounds fine since there is low background noise and clean power late at night.Over 75dB is loud to me.To the people who listen at 95dB for years with no hearing loss: some people smoke 2 packs a day... | |
| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? Cwlondon, I had the exact same thought today. For some reason speakers keep getting toned brighter and brighter. For example Epos got bashed for years with the "airless" presentation of their M15. Now the M15.2 has a rising response curve - ugghhh... | |
| Monitors for a bedroom system....... You won't get deep soundstaging with speakers 6" from a wall. Try Louis at Omega speakers for some Fostex single driver - NO whizzer is my strong suggestion. You need tubes with Fostex. These speakers can't play loud and as a result sound very nic... | |
| Mood lighting Congratulations Distortion, I think it will be worth it. Having all S.S. need some type of glow :-).I'm torn between the Salt lamp vs. Lava lamp vs. the wall conce. The wall sconce have a really nice effect - sort of like the buildings at night in... | |
| Extremely budget minded system for under $500.00 ? 2nd the Denon UD-M31 only $300 new. I'd spend the $200 on better speakers.Radio Shack DOES sell great speaker cable in the form of magnet wire for ~$3.50. Twist a few strands together with a hand drill and strip the enamel off the ends. Hi purity,... |
