| Room setup Questions: Small Room with Magnepan MMG Very tight space for maggies or any planar speaker. If possible I'd move the the listening chair back closer to the rear wall and that would leave space to bring the speakers out further if necessary. The desk is a problem at 30" deep to put betwe... | |
| Recommended speakers around $10K used If you are looking for midrange with overall coherent sound and have the proper space to place bipole speakers you should listen to soundlab's larger electrostatic speakers or an innersound eros mark 2 or 3 (which have a narrower sweet spots). I u... | |
| DLP or LCD what do you think Sorry for not reading your post with my glasses! The sony SXDR is superior to all the DLP sets that I've seen and I've seen nearly all the major consumer models. Samsung has a new LCD (45 or 46" to my best recollection)in their Time Warner show ro... | |
| DLP or LCD what do you think The sony is not the same LCD technology as the samsung but a different technology similar to their Qualia flagship. I've seen them both. Both are very good. I believe the sony has better contrast. Your picture quality will most likely be more depe... | |
| IC's between Power Amp and Pre Amp I think you should try SilentAudio Apollo C copper interconnects(for Solid State components). They are available on audiogon auctions and if you can get by with short 18-20" lengths, Paul will make them up for you at such a modest cost it is virtu... | |
| SEEKING A QUALITY CDR The problem is that many companies outsource their cdrs and sometimes you never know who made them. Therefore, quality can vary even within the same "manufacurer". I've read that memorex has 4 different sources providing their cdrs. You might try ... | |
| Need help making TV decision I agree with the above post. If you have the space, the new 50" or 60" Sony SXRD models are better than any of the LCD,DLP or ED plasma sets that I've seen. Newer HD plasma sets are coming out which should have improved specs. The pioneer elite pr... | |
| Best preamp/ Amp combo or intgrated amp?? Sorry for the late response but just came across this thread again. Your infinity speakers may be fine. Even if I knew what model you had only you can tell their sound quality since you can hear their acoustic properties in your room. If you want ... | |
| Decent stereo amp / pre amp on relative budget If you can find a luxman R117 receiver (160watts/channel) or the R115 (approx 80watts/channel) try them. With the CD bypass switch you can run your CD directly into the amp section. Great sound and value and you can sometimes find a r117 for $250-... | |
| Jazz recommendations? The one and only Oscar Peterson --(OP trio) Sat night at the blue note, Oscar Peterson and the bassists etc. | |
| Help-IC's needed AU or AQ Try Silentaudio Apollo C interconnects sold on Audiogon auctions (for SS electronics) and with the 90% you save over cardas, etc. you can treat yourself to something else. If they don't work for you, you won't have spent much; especially if you ne... | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now The following wines were served as "house wines" at one of the finest restaurants in NYC. Le Bonheur Sauvignon Blanc 2004 (South Africa) and Domaine La Condamine L'Eveque (vin de pays D'oc) 2000,(French)for a red table wine. I've tried both and th... | |
| Good Amp and Processor for under 4K used If your system is on the bright side you can tame it to some extent with your power cables and interconnects as well as your electronics. EAD may be a good choice for a preamp/processor that can handle both 2 channel and HT. Check the threads and ... | |
| Magnepan vs. Martin Logan Listen to the Duke! I have listened to most of the ML line and own 1.6 maggies. Only the ML CLS (version 1 or 2z) was really coherent. IMHO, the innersound eros and full range soundlab electrostatics sound better but at a price... As with all dipo... | |
| Can anything beat Vintage Amps for the $$$? Try a vintage receiver like the luxman R117 or R115. If the unit was well taken care of and the electrolytes are OK they will out perform many modern pieces. Vintage amps can always have new capacitors and wiring and some updated and non updated o... |
