| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Thanks for the advice. Sadly, I really can't move any furniture. I can, however, change the speaker positioning slightly, or add/subtract foam from the walls. I've experimented with toe in, but haven't found anything that sounds better than this. | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... So I've had to move things around again, hopefully for the last time. Now I'm really clueless about what to do acoustically. I have everything shoved into half of the room, with one speaker about 18" from a wall. Yikes! My system is under 'getting... | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... It really is amazing how many times I've been told about room acoustics and how many times it has failed to sink in! I'll keep all this in mind and not freak out too much about tubes. Thanks guys. | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Newbee, that meant that I put the system in a new position with careful attention paid to addressing acoustical problems. You're right that it's going to sound different, though I'd expect the basic tonality to remain at least similar. Perhaps tha... | |
| Can I install a new arm on this old table? The Pete Riggle is far more money than what I want to spend. I might just have to go with the spacers. Does anyone know where to find them?Thanks! | |
| Can I install a new arm on this old table? Thanks for the suggestion. Can you recommend a decent but cheap VTA adjuster along the lines you've specified? | |
| Can I install a new arm on this old table? Brusson: thanks for your help, much appreciated. I found an RB300 for less than $200, which is on its way. Do you know where one can find these spacers you speak of, and how they're used?Also, I'll be looking for a cheap MM cartridge. Suggestions?... | |
| Can I install a new arm on this old table? Thanks for the reply! How do I know which arms will work and which ones won't? Recommendations? | |
| Best Classical Music for Sonus Faber Stradivari You need to give us more. Classical music is a big genre, and it's hard to know what to recommend when we know nothing about your specific taste.Dvorak's 8th Symphony with Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic is in my CD player at the moment... | |
| Question for classical lovers Big orchestral is really hard to record. Always has been. It's also very difficult to create a good illusion of a huge ensemble in a normal size room. We tend to make more compromises in playback here than for other types of music. Of course there... | |
| Headphones for iPod. Do they need to be earbuds? If not, Grado SR60s are the obvious choice. | |
| A musical "heads up" to any and all... Well, I picked up the new album today and gave it a long listen- boy was I disappointed. They seem to be using their bluegrass roots as kitch and trying to break into the rock mainstream. The lyrics are more vicious than before and not nearly as i... | |
| A musical "heads up" to any and all... When I first started listening to Nickel Creek, it was a little too saccharin for me. As I've gotten to know their work, I have more and more respect for it. Fantastic stuff, can't wait to pick up the new one. | |
| Looking for a romantic sounding monitor Silverline SR15's are great, but I wouldn't call them romantic per se. Maybe a bit on the warm side, but nothing like a Sonus Faber. SR15s are indeed wonderful, in any case. | |
| another vinyl shipping question Rshak, thanks for the response. So we're just talking about the aesthetics of the case, not any 'smushing' action, as the amusicdirect people claim. Weird. |
