| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 OK, I was anticipating the WAF issue - why I hesitated with the Vandy recommendation up front, and why in part I suggested the 1c over the 2ce, which is just more of the Vandy thing visually. But the 2ce is closer to full range than any of the oth... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Revel, very good... For 100± watts solid state. Monitor Audio very good... For a smaller room. Vienna very good, not sure how it will work in this application. A couple of other speakers that I really like but might not cut it in that space are th... | |

| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? If your shelves are adjustable, try isolating them from the cabinet frame with a little piece of Blutack or sorbothane dots between the shelves and their supports, and if you don't have space in your cabinet for large wooden platforms under your g... | |
| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? Sakahara,I agree with your point, my bad for not providing a complete description of how wooden blocks can help - maybe I should clarify. I suggest placing hardwood blocks under your player on top of a significant block of wood or other material t... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP Se preamp tweaks and upgrades ? "Try better power cords, interconnects and vibration control (good set of footers)."Yes. And try replacing the stock fuse(s) with HiFi Tuning or equivalent silver fuses. | |
| Revel Salons and Adcom amp, good match? Look for some Mark Levinson amps. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon As an amatuer speaker builder I have come to the conclusion that Harbeths are the anti-Magico. The later are rigid and resonance free to the exxtreme - flat frequency curves, nuetral, nothing but the facts Ma'am wraped in a magnificent wood and al... | |
| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? Three Hardwood blocks. Experiment with position under the player. | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? Demianm,Just so there is no confusion, I think the Cambridge 840 is one of the best sounding and most flexible CD players available for the money - any criticisms leveled are in the absolute sense comparing it to reference players costing many dol... | |
| Bookshelf speakers with the good bass. If you haven't already, post a separate thread on the Fritzspeakers Carbon 7. Several Agoners own them and will probably respond to a thread with the Carbon 7 name in the subject line. | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? ??? A really better one? The 840C is better. Nothing for $1000 is better, or likely just as good.The DACs I directed you to earlier are "really better" than the Rotel, but they cost $2K to $2.5K.I can think of other CD players for about $1500 that... | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? That has the capability to act as an external DAC for other sources if necessary, or just a good $1000 +/- CD player? | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? Yes, I have heard it. It is very good at its price point. For comparison, most cheaper Cambridge players have a forward sonic balance with fairly flat frequency curve, meaning that bass and treble are not attenuated in favor of mid range tones, as... | |
