| Better Quality Amp with Similar Sonics to Jolida ? Thanks for your help, Hifihvn. I'm embarrassed to admit that I was actually wrong in my initial diagnosis of problems and that Jolida 302 was NOT to blame!!!!!!! | |
| Short runs of flexible power cord? Thanks to all. Due to lack of space in shelf behind unit, I've discovered using a short cord would only compress cord at both ends due to acute angles required for clearance, so my approach will be using flexible cable. Will check recommendations ... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? OK... I did move the speakers; I didn't have alot of room to play with, but now, at a distance of 30" from the wall, rather than 10", the bass is much more defined. In fact, it sounds pretty darned good on well-recorded cds. The sounds-stage is de... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? Bob-- Thanks. Interesting point, which I'll keep in mind. For now, my goal is to see what can be done with the current set-up. If nothing works, then I'll certainly consider changing speakers or amp. | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? BOB: My understanding is that Alan Yun designs his speakers with tube amplification in mind. At least I've read that somewhere-- that's not a direct quote from him. As for the room, it's an "open plan", so the livingroom where speakers are located... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? I will explore all suggestions. Although I have only so much flexibility to move speakers, there is some wiggle room. I've e-mailed Alan Yun at Silverline and will get to work experimenting with room treatments and footers first before moving on t... | |

| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? Rcprince-- I tried moving speakers 4" further away from back wall-- seemed to make a difference. Will experiment further. | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? By tightening, I mean more focused. I don't have much room to play with re; speaker placement, unfortunately. They are located in corner formed by back wall and hearth. Back back of speaker = 10" from wall, side of speaker, about 13" from sidewall. | |

| Affordable interconnect for warm system TVAD, I tried the IC3-SE first. | |
| Efficient floorstndrs. to reach above furniture Shadorne,I appreciate your description of the advantages/disadvantages of horn speakers. As I have very little flexibility re: placement, it sounds as though they might not be the best choice.Thanks for your input. | |
| Efficient floorstndrs. to reach above furniture Shadorne, I should've clarified that ideally, I'd prefer to keep my Creek and just swap out speakers. Thanks to all who suggested speakers-- I will start to research recommendations The Zu's are very appealing, due to their return policy, but will... | |

| Efficient floorstndrs. to reach above furniture Shadome, it appears, from a quick search of used gear on audiogon, that what you suggest would greatly exceed my budget. Jaybo, do you have any particular speakers in mind? |
