| Room or Speaker what s more important? Hi Tireguy; It's almost always easier to change the speaker(s) than to change the room, not counting acoustic treatments of course. So, what really is important is to match the speakers to the room. If you have enough money you could match the roo... | |
| synergistic cables? Hi Steven; I also use Syn. Res. cables-- Signature No. 2-- sort of in the middle of their line, and they used to be Stereophile recommended. I also use their ICs and power cords. I personally believe that the highest value in cables, ICs and PCs i... | |
| California electrical shortage audio ......that should be 20-30 minutes. Sorry. | |
| California electrical shortage audio Cornfed; Yep, I pretty much agree with you re: leaving amps on. My amp does sound pretty good after only 20-30 of "on" time, but IMO it sounds even better if I leave it on for 2-3 days. This amp (McCormack DNA-2DX) automatically goes into a standb... | |
| CDR media part II Ramstl; that is great info.-- thanks for the posts. I hope you'll accept +2/+2 votes. Cheers. Craig. | |
| alon circe s Hi Lake; I've been looking for speakers in this price range too (used), I recently read a review that indicated that the Circe's would/could overwhelm my 14 X 22 room. That said, they could "work" but only if they sound good at low volume settings... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System I just did some quick calculations that showed I had about 14% of my 35K system in "wires". I believe in good wire, but also agree with Trelja in that I think excellent wire can be had without going too extremes. Where I think most of the high val... | |
| Conventional DAC Hi James; I agree with your premise. Cds are going to be THE dominent format for some years to come. And I put my money where my mouth is and last summer purchased a HQ 16/44.1 transport, but I got a DAC that will decode 24/96. and is upgradeable,... | |
| New Music vs. New Equipment Hi Onhwy; I've asked myself this question many times, and glad to see it brought up here. I can identify with your concern, and also the thoughts of the above posts. I have about 1,000 CDs (est. cost $15K), but I have about $30K in my primary syst... | |
| California electrical shortage audio Hi Hg; I'm in neighboring Oregon, so I have an interest in this issue too. Personally, I would rather turn my equipment off rather than have it receiving only partial power as in a "brown out". This is just my opinion. Having said that, I presentl... | |
| Preamp with Remote ? Sonic Frontiers Line 3 is excellent sounding, neutral, and has a great remote. Good Hunting. Craig. | |
| Best blank CD-R Hi Monroemed; I've used Maxell, Memorex, TDK, Sony, and the less expensive Nashua, and at least in the short term, they all sound good. I can't tell them from originals. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Where is the best place for amp s .....sorry, tried to reference Rlhjazz's "Ringing" thread. | |
| C/W music Audiogon members Cornfed; I'll be content to let you define the pup- vs -dog thing. I was age 12 in 1955 when TV finally made it to our 'hood in N.Dak. What's this have to do with music? Well, mid-50's "Hit Parade", and "The Ed Sullivan Show" were family favorites... | |
| Guilty Pleasures Cornfed; I too remember the night that those guys died. They were headed for Moorehead, Minn. (just across the river from Fargo, ND)-- I lived about 90 miles north of Fargo. It's fair to say Buddy Holly was a hero of mine. Not only did I like his ... |
