| When is it time to up grade? How about some speakers? | |
| "The Law of Diminishing Returns"??? Thanks Sean. Upgrading components is a good place to start. I liked your past ideas about ISO transformer but I think of:1) better power supply / larger e-core transformer to replace torroidial. Naim and Cyrus both do this to upgrade their amps.2)... | |
| Advise please for best system upgrade under $2,000 Put roller balls under your CDP. Lots of threads at audioasylum. You can make your own for under $100 and have some fun in the process. | |
| What Integrated Amp & Speakers for $1,000? Epos M12 and Creek 4330 integrated are about $800 and make great music. | |
| "The Law of Diminishing Returns"??? I can agree with Sean about modding components but does anyone here know how to do this? I would like to mod my Denon UD-M31 mini-system? I've asked at everysite I know with no responses.Short of reading a bunch of books on power amp design, power... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Jes45, I burned the black CDR on a Marantz pro CDR500 at 1x. Like I said, what one person says is "better" is highly subjective. IMHO "Muddy, fuzzy, low fidelity sound" is worse not better. But I have seen more than one audiophile trade in his hig... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Gonglee3, the computer burning technique may be okay but IMHO black Cd's were total garbage. Muddy, fuzzy, low fidelity sound. Sort of like going from 16 bit to the 12 bit CD player in my Denon mini-system.Another thought, if one prefers low fidel... | |
| help narrowing down my list of speakers, $2500 I agreee with Gmood1 on the active speakers. Amp / speaker interface is very critical. Jamie, you want real? Then why alter the sound with amps? Real is real it's not tweakable.Try some ATC active 10's, perfect for a small room. If you judge by so... | |
| New York, New York - Audio Stores????? I was really happy with the change in attitude at In Living Stereo. They weren't so nice when I went the first time. Much better last summer.For some strange reason I have always been treated well at Sound By Singer. Maybe I lucked out with the sa... | |
| acoustic placement/small bright room Robm321, what about carpeting? Also bookcases filled with books.I have the same problem but refuse to turn my home into an anechoic chamber. Right now I use an equalizer. Parametric is better than graphic BTW. | |
| Good value upgrade from PSB STRATUS GOLDS to ? Big Spendor SP 1/2's. There was a review at www.ecoustics.com and reviewer thought they were great in big room. | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 CR Vs A3.2 Integrated In my bright room with semi-bright speakers the A3 work for me. The A3.2 is more extended in the highs- I consider bright and fatiguing. Depends on if your speakers AND room are bright or laid back.Besides seperates give more power, more versatili... | |
| atc 150 asl pro Passive speakers start out with a huge disadvantage since amps are not optimized for the driver, crossover absorbs power and fine detail.And any ATC speaker is good on it's own merits, just that active takes it to another level.How do you get a $2... | |
| Do I really need a second 2Wq sub? I was told 1 sub for each 10,000 cubic feet. With an 8 foot ceiling you'd be close to 20,00o cubic feet. So yes. | |
| Musical Fidelity A308 vs, A3.2 int amps Haven't heard both side by side but I wonder if it's more a choice of type of sound vs. quality of sound. A3.2 separates leaner and quicker. A308 more bass, more rolled off highs. |
