My soundstage is terrible. i need help bad.
Flyin2jz,Definely pull your speakers out in front of your wide-screen TV. I myself have a large entertainment cabinet housing my TV and components in between my speakers. And I know for a fact that if I position my speakers behind or even with the... 
kt88 vs. 6550 noobie question
Newbee, hit's the note as you can change out the KT88 with the 6550, but you got to re-adjust the bias. The KT88 are probably better sounding than the 6550, but unfortunately they are a more fragile tube. If you can get a quartet of KT88s past 30 ... 
No sound and red power light on NAD C372
Ablang,I sure you checked your fuse, another thing is your unit still connected to the power conditioner? If it is, you might want to disconnect the unit and plug it directly into an outlet, and see if that solves the problem. As the problem might... 
My soundstage is terrible. i need help bad.
Flyin2jz, My set-up is similar to yours as I have a Cathedral ceiling in my living room, and my equipment is set-up on high wall (no other options for set-up), and for awhile I had issues in getting a decent soundstage. I was fortunate enought tha... 
Do You Allow Anyone Else To Operate Your Rig?
Ohhwy61,Key words in your responds to me is "licensed motorcyclist", that says to me you don't let someone take out your "Yamaha or Kawasaki" without at least a certain degree of knowledge, which is the point I was trying to make. 
Do You Allow Anyone Else To Operate Your Rig?
Onhwy61,Would you let someone borrow your Harley, or 'Vette that you weren't absolutely sure and totally convinced that they knew what they were doing in operating said vehicles? For many people they have a lot invested (and not just dollars and t... 
Do You Allow Anyone Else To Operate Your Rig?
If it's somebody I know that knows about audio equipment and has asked my permission, probably. But in general, No. 
Tube Rolling 12AX7 - Need Advice/Suggestions
Well right now, I'm running the NOS RCAs in the CDP, and the EH 12AX7 (switched out the Tung-Sols) in the amp, and it's sounding pretty sweet. This afternoon I've listen to Robbin Ford, Susan Tedeschi, and Tab Benoit, and it sounds the way I want ... 
Tube Rolling 12AX7 - Need Advice/Suggestions
Hey Fishboat,Appreciate your advice, but I'm less interested in going out and buying some more 12AX7 tubes, and more interested in knowing what combination of 12AX7 tubes in both amp and CDP, work well based on the tubes that I have on hand. Guess...

Here's what Ed Frias (the designer of the AR.com speaker) has to say: "I sell a pretty decent 400watt JBL sub that my customers seem to enjoy, but you can also buy a 300watt kit from Parts Express that others seem to rave about." Anyway, here's a ... 
question about grills....
If you have curious kitties I would leave the grills on.As far listning with grills on or off, I would let my ears be the judge. For myself, I usually leave the grills on.

best speakers on AGON for about $500
Jdfelice,I've heard of the EPOS ELS-3 (and I'm assuming the ELS303 are an updated version), but never got the chance to hear a pair as I could never find a nearby dealer, and believe me I was looking as I was interesting in hearing the EPOS line. ... 
best speakers on AGON for about $500
Jdfelice,Does sound like your father has a fairly large room, and with many of the speaker being suggestioned I would wonder how well they could fill that room. Also many of these speakers mentioned wouldn't have very much in the way of bass respo...
