| Best Cheap acoustic wall treatments? If you don't mind a weekend or two of work, this is a very attractive and yet works as good, if not better, than purchasing expensive and ugly commercial stuff.1) Take 2x2s and run them horizontally every two feet on all your walls.2) On your fron... | |
| Audio research ls5 question Also, the LS 5 MKll is a much better pre amp than the MKlll, IMO. You can get adapters from Cardas in order to use RCA cables with the LS 5 models. | |
| Best Live Recording on LP Albertporter,Thanks for the Etta James/Eddie Vinson recomendation. I hope I can find it, your description is really appealing. | |
| Phono preamp advice. I have a Phenomena with the BPS that I was using with a Teres 265/Graham 2.2/Lyra Helikon set up. I moved "up" to a Tom Evans Groove about a month ago. To be honest I don't hear any difference or improvement and the Tom Evans gets pretty good reve... | |
| How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System? REL and Vandersteen both connect at the speaker binding posts so you wouldn't need to modify your pre amp. If you are going to only use one sub go with the REL, I have owned both and would only use the Vandersteens if you can afford two. | |
| Calling all analog experts Jsonic,I have a Teres 265 that I set up by myself. Before that I had only owned a $100 Denon record player and the Clearaudio Champion, which my dealer set up.The Teres was very easy to put together. From a beginners standpoint, know what arm you ... | |
| Vandersteen3asig pre BATVK5i , whats the best amp I have had two pairs of Vandersteen 3A sigs. and used them first with a 100watt Audio Research tube amp, then 100 watt Jeff Rowland Mono Blocks, then the Theta Dreadnaught. The speakers turned into a whole different animal when I used 4 of the Dre... | |
| Review: Vandersteen 3a Sig Speaker I also have been living with 3A Sigs for quite some time. I used two Vandy subs for awhile and it does make a difference. They allow you to place the speakers way out in the room which is best for imaging, mid range, etc. and at the same time plac... | |
| Do cd's store a more exact copy of sound than LP's I'm no engineer but, seems to me since analog is continuous and CDs are based on sampling the CDs can't be a more exact copy. | |
| Vandersteen VSM-1 Rear Speaker Location I put mine up on a audio stand that just happened to be the right height, just above ear level and tried them in several places. I started with them directly to the sides and then kept moving them back and kept going until they were all the way be... | |
| Where does a sellers responsibility stop? Thanks for all your responses. He brought it back and I took a close look at it and could see no sign of abuse. Audio Research is notorious for having the toggle on/off switch go out through constant use. I'm betting that it was just bad luck and ... | |
| Static Build Up Thanks for the info. Huh, so the Zerostat really works. I have often looked at the ads and thought it was just a gimmick. What's a Milty?Onemug,Love to swap stories. Been surfing since '63. First "real" board was shaped by Greg Noll (this was befo... | |
| Seperate phono stage v.s. step up transformer Thanks for the responses to my original question. I guess one of the questions I should have asked is if the step up transformer degrades the signal at all, or are the better ones like a good pre amp.My fear that the transformer may add a unwanted... | |
| Seperate phono stage v.s. step up transformer Thank you for your responses. The preamp that I am refering to is the Granite Audio Model 770. Their CD player with the tube output has been the first CD player that I have owned that I can listen to with as much enjoyment as vinyl so, decided to ... | |
| Best Live Recording on LP The Weavers Carnegie Hall Reuniun 1963 and Harry Belefonte's Live at Carnegie Hall are both terrific live performances. |
