| Mapleshade boards under speakers Tinkerer that I am, I finally settled on using the small, dime sized discs under the spikes on top of the maple. The mids are still wonderfully fleshed out and the highs have that finer leading edge and trailing off that without the discs seemed t... | |
| Totem Dreamcatchers integrated amp, under $1000. I second the Marantz PM-8004 with the caveat that I haven't heard it but own the PM-15S2b which is the next one up. My Tonians have no real bass to speak of since they cut off around 40Hz but with the Marantz, it's like I have an extra driver down... | |
| SOPHIA BABY ELECTRIC WOWS CROWD I think you stumbled onto something here that comes up often on other threads. Namely, that people who have been in the business all their lives on the "pro" side of the equation get a chance to hear something that only "auidophiles" would conside... | |
| Does it bother you? There are some recording engineers who go to great lengths to make a decent recording: Todd Garfunkle of MA Recordings, Pierre Sprey of Mapleshade, whoever does ECM, etc.Just because you came across someone who runs a crappy recording studio only ... | |
| Redbook Digital Can Sound Great -- On Occassion Sadly, Soupy died in 2009. Wiki has a nice bio:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soupy_Sales | |
| Redbook Digital Can Sound Great -- On Occassion I loved Soupy Sales. My mom told me it would make me crazy if I watched him. My mom was always right. | |
| Comments pls.: TEAC vs Marantz CD/SACD players Ghosthouse, Yes, the champagne finish is wonderful to behold but I've gotten used to the business like look of the black finish.As to your question on how it handles CDs, all I can say it does a magnificent job of rendering my CD collection. CDs t... | |
| Comments pls.: TEAC vs Marantz CD/SACD players Ghosthouse,I had a TEAC PD-H600 CDP designed with input from Esoteric and it's a damn fine player, for the price. It's not an SACD player so what I'm going to say next is not a fair comparison but the Marantz SA-15S2b SACD player that I got kinda ... | |
| Do I need a center channel? I'm like you, Michaelingdom, and all I have is a 2 channel set up and it works just fine. | |
| Cleaning Method Try some Goo Gone from your local hardware store. It won't add any sheen or brightness to the metal but it will take off any aging due to grime, dirt, fingerprints and dust. It may be all you need to restore the original look.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Redbook Digital Can Sound Great -- On Occassion Charles1dad, I had a good laugh at your reference to navy SEAL training as I have a friend who was one during the Reagan years and to him, everything was kind of blah and not worth getting all lathered up about after what he went through.I guess i... | |
| Hypex NCore 1200 I can only comment on the sound based on what I heard at the latest Newport Audio show. The Mola Molas were okay. I purposely downplayed that to make a point. Not everyone is keen on the sound despite the pedigree and the hype. Count me as one of ... | |
| Is The Overall Weight Of A Speaker Important? Weight has little to do with it. My Tonians are a semi open baffle design and much like an instrument, absorb and dissipate the sound energy as quickly as an instrument. They excel at tone and timbre. They weigh (maybe) fifty pounds or so.In the e... | |
| Is it just me? Different days, different ways of seeing things. | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Zen, Thanks for the heads up. I like Javier Bardem as an actor. |
