| Listening chair suggestions Russ69: What height is that ??? !!! So we want the right height of the listening chair, and thus our ears, relative to the speaker heights. But you didn't say what that height was!!Anyone know? | |
| One of my best tweaks....a new listening chair Interesting Nonoise: How does Naugahyde absorb sound? Anyone know? I've never heard of that before.I have a Naugahyde recliner, which is tall enough to go above my ears, and I"m afraid of the echoing of sound to my ears, and thus distorted listening. | |
| Listening Chair? Well, one of the OPs main questions was: what is the better material to use in a chair?Leather? or does it echo too much? especially around your earsFabric? (wool, cotton): less slap echo? better diffusion?I'm also in the market for a listening ch... | |
| Best Audiophile chair around $200 Informative Thread!But what about the chair material? In particular regards to the area around the listener's head and/or headrest.eg: When using a headrest, would a fabric material or wool/cotton provide less reflection of sound around the listen... | |
| Phono Stage, Cables, etc for VPI Scoutmaster II? Well, I found a good deal on a Demo Lehmann black Cube SE II, so I picked it up. Out of the box, it sounds more naturally smooth than the Nano II, but that's on 1970s Marantz 6300 TT, I haven't received the Scoutmaster II yet. Now just need some t... | |
| Phono Stage, Cables, etc for VPI Scoutmaster II? SchubertWhat do you like about the Morrows? Can I ask what TT you use them with? Is the shielding adequate?thx, Gary | |
| Phono Stage, Cables, etc for VPI Scoutmaster II? Ok, thanks folks, I'll nix the power cord idea, no problem with that. I like the idea of the Nordost Heimdalls as well. I use mostly Nordost ICs & SCs in my system anyway (at about the Heimdall/Frey/SPM performance level). Also, a guy at a loc... | |
| Zu Omen Def vs Zu Soul Supreme vs Omega Super XRS I met the Zu guys at the CAS 2013 show and asked them about the Druids and Soul Supremes. He said(Sean?) that they are exactly the same speaker, but with a different build style. The Druids cost more b/c of the fancy aluminum bottom plates. I'm no... | |
| upgrading the analog setup My 2cents. I've got a VPI Scoutmaster on the way with an Ortofon 2M Black MM cart. I'm not a analog guru by any means, but the Scoutmaster seems to be at the threshold price-point of getting the most for your money, given the diminishing returns o... | |
| Phono Stage, Cables, etc for VPI Scoutmaster II? Thanks Peter,The first 3 links didn't work, but I was able to google and find them. Your B2B-1 has some positive reviews. Currently, I have a pair of Dali Helicon 400 MkI floor standing speakers, and my mid-bass is maxed out, can't do any more. As... | |
| Bel Canto DACs Ive only had the eDac 2.5, but its impressive.i dont think Bel Canto gets much accolade b/c they dont advertise as aggressively as other producers, and they switched from tubes to digital in one apparent fell swoop: digital just isn't as popular y... | |
| Benchmark Dac1 HDR vs Bel Canto 2.5???? I have listened to both, and in fact own the Bel Canto 2.5. I would agree that the Benchmarks are more neutral sounding, and that is fine, given that you have other audio equipment that will color the sound the way you want it to. As I understand ... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , To the OPs original query: I have tried Cardas Golden Ref, Cardas Neutral Ref, and a variety of Nordost ICs. I agree that the Cardas Golden cables dont have enough top/bottom heft, which is why I only use Nordost now: clean, smooth, detailed, powe... | |
| Bel Canto REF1000M vs. Simaudio Moon 400M I have a Bel Canto e.DAC 2.5 upstream and have heard their mono blocks at AV shows/stores. I am looking into the 400Ms now. I dont think the Bel Canto monos have enough bite to properly complement my present system. What I am getting at, is that b... |
