| Test CD Zd542. Regarding the break in of speakers. Seems to me that a speaker will break in better if music containing a wide variety of frequencies is used. Thus not all music is suited for breaking in a speaker properly. I noted a dramatic difference in... | |
| Test CD ZD542. Makes sense. Did a test yesterday and have found the heavy duty steel speaker stands when positioned a certain way and with the front of the speakers elevated a quarter inch at the front are giving deeper bass. I am going to try this in the... | |
| Test CD Had a thought after reading the following. Need some feedback.A guy that also owns the Jamo C601 bookshelf speakers said he was able to measure the bass response on this speaker down to near 40hz. But it is rated by Jamo for 62hz. I've read other ... | |
| Test CD Would it make sense to buy more than one of these CD's to burn in a new pair of speakers? Will one Test CD offer some advantages over the other with the kind of noise or music it contains?I'm going to spend less than $500 for a pair of bookshelf s... | |
| Need a New CD Player Cwindy. Thanks for the info. Sounds like it may have had a harsh sound then at least to your ears. | |
| Need a New CD Player Crwindy. Can you expound a bit about why the 5005 didn't sound right to you?I just pulled out a Teac CD 1250 P from over a decade ago to use in place of an even older Technics which stinks until I can get a new unit. The old Teac sounds far better... | |
| Looking for a Tuner I own a Carver TX 11a and Onkyo T430R. Both are great tuners and can be found used for a reasonable price. Most likely will be better than any new tuners at the entry level that are currently on the market. I did hear the new Yamaha entry level tu... | |
| Need a New CD Player Ghosthouse. I just put a new engine into my car. No chance I will be able to spend over a grand on a CD player. No doubt the Teac is a great unit but not something I can afford in the near future. | |
| Need a New CD Player Thanks for the details.From what I've read the Marantz sound is a little warm and detailed. I also read the new Yamaha CD players are also similar in that regard. I used to use Yamaha in the 80's and into the 90's but got away from them because th... | |
| Plaster Walls There is a guy named Michael Green that runs a board called Tuneland. He seems to have a vastly different philosophy concerning room acoustics. He said Sheetrock is good while plaster is bad. He seems to believe equipment needs to be "tuned" and t... | |
| Plaster Walls Thanks for all of the tips. Sounds like it won't be as much of a problem as first thought. Have started putting in drapes and will proceed from there with the panels and softer furniture. | |
| Need Speaker Advice Tortilladc. You don't really go into specific details about the sound of the Zensor 1 that you dislike. Can you elaborate?I have read up on the Ikon line and the high end is apparently a bit bright at least that is what some owners of the Ikon 1 a... | |
| Any polk fans? Stereophile just gave high marks to the RTI A3 and also the LSIM 703 book shelf speakers. They both are considered "recommended" at their price points when compared to other speakers in those price ranges. Also read a review from that magazine on ... | |
| Need Speaker Advice Tortillade.What do you believe the shortcomings are of the Zensor 1? Stereophile just gave them a hearty endorsement and said they sound far better than their price. I really have not read a single bad review.Someone else has suggested the Focal 7... | |
| Need Speaker Advice Schubert. Can't really comment regarding what you've just stated. But I do know this. I spent many years living in Connecticut and found that virtually every single privately owned stereo shop was dealing above board with their products and servic... |
