| Dynaudio 1.3SE vs. JM Reynaud Trente The reason I was thinking about the Trente is because I believe they are front ported. Shouldn't a front ported speaker help out with this problem? | |
| Project Phono Box vs. Creek OBH-8 Sugarbie, thanks for the response. I'm looking for something that I could use with good results even if I decide to modestly upgrade my turntable & cartridge. That's why I would be willing to spend $150. By the way, I have heard the Project Ph... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Jetmek, I just bought a power cord from you and you told me you had two others of the same brand and you loved them. Have you had a change of heart? | |
| Dynaudio 72 vs. Dynaudio 1.3 mkii Thanks for your input. I'll probably stay away from the rear ports until I have a situation where I can get a little farther out from the wall. | |
| McIntosh MC162/Replacing bulbs on front panel Thanks. I had planned on replacing all of the lamps. I'm not real steady with the soldering iron so I may just take it in to the shop. Thanks for the info. | |
| Anyone heard the Audible Illusions L2? Cspence, thanks for the response. I didn't realize they just started shipping. I currently own a Rogue 99 Magnum. However, the remote is a bit frustrating. It's hard to find a precise listening level at low volumes. How do you like the remote? Can... | |
| Speaker tweak Thanks for the advice folks. Theo, I'm using Mapleshades Heavyhats on my amp, preamp and cd player and it does help. I'll give the sand bags a try. You know, these tweaks are what makes people think we're all nuts. But damn, once you hear those su... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? I have a pair of the Dynaudio 70's. I found using a pair of the Ah! LS Noise Killers on the speaker terminals really helped to smooth out the top end. They're only $50/pr. from Upscale Audio and they are easy to use. I don't know if this will help... | |
| Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11 John, I used to have a pair of the Audience 50's so I know about the plugs. I didn't like using the plugs on the 50's because I felt the sound became too dry. The 50's sounded okay only a foot from the wall. I'm just curious if the 1.3's or the 1.... | |
| Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11 Thanks for all the advice. As far as giving speakers some room to breathe; I will only be able to position the speakers about a foot or so from the back wall. Will this be enough for the Dynaudio's or any other rear ported speaker? | |
| Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11 I like the 72's just fine. They do however, get quite loud in my room without too much effort. I've been told I might be better off going with a higher quality monitor. I owned the Audience 50's before I got the 72's. I loved the 50's but needed a... | |
| Pioneer TX 9500 tuner/ Comments? Thanks for the feedback folks. I'm going to go ahead and get it. It's only $80 and the shop is giving me a 90 daywarranty on it. It sounds like it will serve my purposes.I live in San Francisco and it's mainly just a few Bay Area stations I'd like... | |
| Cary 303; Removing the feet Thanks for the info. Yesterday, I put some vibrapods under the feet. Overall, it's a definite improvement although there does seem to be a slightly, unnatural emphasis in the upper mids. Still, better than the stock feet. I'm going to try a couple... | |
| Arcam FMJ23/DIVA 92 How much better? Thanks for the info. Bigtee, I've looked at Meridians but it seems they are always priced at leat $1500-2000 used. My limit is $1200-1300. I actually just sold an Arcam 92. That's why I was wondering how much improvement I might expect going to th... | |
| marantz cdr500 recorder/playback quality Thanks for your input. I didn't think the playback would be great. I was just trying to get an idea if it was decent. I just sold my higher end player (Arcam 92) and I've wanted to get a recorder so I thought about getting the CDR500 and using it ... |
