| Love my ipod, Hate my ear buds.... I second Stringreen and the Westone UM-2. | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? In retrospect, and as Raquel pointed out, that is one "BIG" room you have there. Also, my "rock n roll" standards are probably less critical than yours. While I still suspect that you'll ultimately want a big amp(s) to rock your room, different sp... | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? Zenieth, I have a passion for older small scale jazz, classical piano, etc. So, I personally can't imagine my system without tubes. That said, if I were almost exclusively a rocker, I would probably go with a big solid state rig, and if you like t... | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? "Phaelon, I thought more power would bring them to life. At low volumes they sound good. Crank them up and the sound just looses it's zeal."Zenieth, that echos what I experienced with my speakers. I almost never listened to rock because of it. My ... | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? I don't think I'll ever really understand why a Watt isn't just a Watt, or at least, why one Watt sounds more powerful than another. Going back some years, a dealer I was friendly with sold both JM Lab and BAT. I walked in one day and caught him d... | |
| What If? I'm sorry that I can't give you a speaker recommendation but I do have some thoughts: I would guess that you made some compromises in your main system - that it is tuned to play all the music you like acceptably well. Perhaps this is a good time t... | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? IMO, JM Lab's require more power than their specs and suggested amplifier power range would indicate, if you want them to come to life. My Mini Utopias have an efficiency rating a little over 91db. I was powering them with 70W conrad johnson amps ... | |
| Looking for good repair shop in Chicago I have to throw in with Stereo Exchange. Dave performed minor repairs on my, UPS damaged, cj amp. Not only was I happy with his work, I really appreciated the way he understood my sense of urgency and how helpful he was in communications with the ... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Their spec sheet claims power handling of 400W continuous/1600W peak. Recommended amplification is 50-1000W. Does this seem strange for a 99db efficient speaker? | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD Since I'm new to DCD, I'm just wondering if there is any consensus on which of the nine SACDs might be considered essential? Any advise on which SACDs to start with will be appreciated. | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD Photon46 and Synthfreek, Thanks for straightening this out for me. I'm looking forward to exploring this group. | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD I have to admit that I never heard of this group until I received an Email from Elusive Disk and then ran into this thread. I got curious so I started sampling on iTunes. Well, I'm all in now, but I have a question: Why were "Wake" and "A Passage ... | |
| My favorite Steely Dan song has to be... "Any Major Dude" - but I'm pretending there's a gun to my head preventing me from selecting a dozen more that are right there. | |
| Seeking packing tape recommendations Hi Jim,Given your expertise and experience, is there anything else you can share with us? e.g. Preferred, cost effective shipping for heavy items(say 100 lbs.). | |
| They lost my amp Thank you Blindjim. UPS said they will pay for repairs subject to their inspection of the amp. I hope others heed your advise; the aggravation is definitely not worth it. |
