| Some help with setting up active desk speakers. By hotness I mean if the tweeters are aggressive you may not want them fired directly at your ears. The will likely sound different (and have less power) off axis (not straight in front of them). | |
| Some help with setting up active desk speakers. Honestly, your question is premature. There are quite a limited number of configurations, and you will figure them out for yourself with just a little bit of experimentation. How wide a spread will be obvious when you move them in and out. The onl... | |
| Integrated Amp for Silverline Prelude II Thanks all for those good suggestions. I will keep my eyes open for any of these products on the used market. I think any of these might do well, and none are too expensive. | |
| Integrated Amp for Silverline Prelude II Schubert - that would be a good price point. She would like the remote. Also thinking about a Plinius 8200, but it would probably be too pricey.... | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search If you are looking for small speakers, consider a pair of Totem Model 1 Signatures. Great bass for small speakers, nice sound in all registers, image very well. Need a good amount of power. | |
| Downloading & Converting Music Steve - I'm surprised about highdeftapetransfers.com. It sounds like they are just ripping commercial reel to reel recordings to digital - one step farther away from the masters. Why would someone buy that rather than getting closer to the masters? | |
| Soothing the night.... Do you have a smartphone? Their are quite a few free apps that generate soothing background noise. Check them out! | |
| A Paypal Offer - Is This Secure? Thanks all for your input. Ultimately, I decided not to go with Paypal and convinced the buyer to pay with a wire transfer. Once he realized it was the only way I'd be willing to sell it to him (given the vagueries of the deal and lack of conformi... | |
| Audiogon/HD Tracks $5 offer Interesting. The thing that holds me back from WAVE is the lack of embedded tagging informaion. Have you tried AIFF? At least that has tagging information... | |

| Using two sets of speakers at once? I used to run Vandersteen 2ces and Dynaudio 72's at once and enjoyed listening to that a lot. They complemented each other well. | |
| A Paypal Offer - Is This Secure? I am still thinking about selling this guy my $5000 amplifier via paypal. It would be shipped to his paypal certified address. I would do all the necessary documentation. Paypal says that they process disputes within 10 days of registering a dispu... | |
| Could they sell a high-end amp without the fancy I agree with the Unsound's comments above, and I look forward to hearing a Hegel product sometime. Another product that provides true high end performance with extremely sound engineering and no bling to drive up the price are the Musical Referenc... | |
| A Paypal Offer - Is This Secure? Guys - I thought bank transfers were reversable. Am I wrong about that? If they are reversable, they are less secure than paypal... I will ask my banker about this...Peter |
