| Binding posts on Nautilus 804S question I have found a knife blade works pretty well. You have to keep from getting them in a bind for them to come out easily.I am not sure but I think those are a european requirement. It doesn't make any sense to me but that is the way it is.Arthur | |
| AVI Duo or Trio AVI is extremely rare in the USA. I think they have just a few dealers. It is a British company that gets good reviews in Europe. I heard their electronics once and was impressed with the authority and power they exude despite their small size. Ho... | |
| A More Forward Sound Stage/ Cables the answer? Clio09 has a great suggestion: try sitting closer to your stereo. I really like a near field sound it seems that is what you might be after. If that doesn't quite do it and you want to try cables to solve the problem (realizing they are cheaper th... | |
| Aimy Winehouse -- who knows her? I love her music! To me, the first album is jazz/lounge/mod and her second is soul/R&B/pop. Both have lots of great lyrics and boogy rhythm. I just wish the recording quality would be better on them though. A little help from my preamp's EQ im... | |
| Speakers under $750.00...Preposterous Notion? Personally, I feel that companies that make very expensive products tend to make better less expensive products than a company that only makes less expensive products. My reasoning is that the high dollar products are such because of research and ... | |
| Tube CD-player question I third Audio Aero. After having 12 cd players come through my system, the Audio Aero Prima mk2 is highest in value and performance for me. It just seems to get everything right.Arthur | |

| Dissapointed buyer, item malfunctions experience? What happens is totally dependent on the type of buyer you get. Some people don't want to deal with anything so then a refund is in order, one guy fixed it himself, another split the repair costs with me, etc. Many buyers realize that things won't... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? My McIntosh MC240. Arthur | |
| measuring output impedance I meausred my CD player with a multimeter and the value was right at the published spec. But I have a tube output stage which may be why. It is true that opamp output impedance is feedback related but if there is some extra buffer circuit, you sho... | |
| Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In? It sounds to me like the speakers are faulty - maybe a crossover soldering problem. Arthur | |
| What are your thoughts on hybrid amplifiers? I own both tube and hybrid amps. I like both a lot and feel that solid state amps have to have tubes somewhere in the chain. Hybrids vary a lot between models. My hybrid Koras sound like solid state in the sense that they are very accurate, precis... | |
| monitors/speakers? Monitors are speakers. There are two main types of speakers: floorstanders, which physically stand on the floor; and monitors which are smaller and sit on stands. Floorstanders generally have more bass because they are bigger and have dedicated wo... | |
| Sonus Faber , Should the Tweeter be in or out ? ProAcs are supposed to have them on the inside. Not sure if SF is the same or not. Probably.You could try both and see what you like best. That may be a more "correct" answer than what the manufacturer would say regardless. |
