| Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement Eldartford, (AKA Judge Roy Bean) The Hangin' Judge ! Maggies and any other speakers that break the law .....watch out ! | |
| Best amps to use with Sound Lab speakers Many, many amps work well. I ran Atma-Sphere MA2, Viva SET's, Wolcott 220, VTL 750's, McCormack DNA 1 mono, ARIA Audio WT hybrid, Llano 300 watt mono blocks, Counterpoint SA4's, and AirTight ATM3.Truth is, they may not be the last work in efficien... | |
| Installing cartr.:slide it all the way to front? The position of the cartridge determines the overhang, Overhang :^).If you have a tool to check your set up, you need to acquire one. | |
| Importance of wall behind listener? 1markr, you can look at my system here at Audiogon for the WAF images :^).http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1022712214&viewHere is a photo of my QRD 734 during construction, built into the back wall.http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/v... | |

| Importance of wall behind listener? I agree with Sns on this.You may also want to try diffusers behind the speakers. I get a very nice enveloping and palpable soundstage with these treatments!I tried damping panels, Polyester batting, tube traps (alone), diffusion by way of artifici... | |
| Best Gene Pitney collection...sonically?..... It isn't very pretty what a CD without pity can do. | |
| "Reverse" Bi-Wire Question The only problem I can see is if your speaker cable of choice is designed to be "directional."Reversing it does not mean harm will come to speakers or amp, but it's possible it would sound better running the direction it was designed.Richard Vande... | |
| What time do you wear? Gosh, you guys are getting testy about the Rolex, Aero thing. Where do those of us stand that used to wear Rolex and respect their durability and resale value but got annoyed at all the knock offs and decided to move on.Move on to what? An ordinar... | |
| Paging Mr. Albert Porter Could it be the Euphonia line he's asking about? I never looked at other speakers in Dali's lineup except the Megaline when I was deciding on speakers. I was focused on it, Sound-Lab, Martin Coltrane, Dali Megaline, Maggie 20.1 and the Kharma Exqu... | |

| ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic Good data nexusstudio. I visit this thread every time someone posts new comments. I would love to hear one of these today and see how reality fares, when compared to my rosy memories. | |
| best way to break in Sound Labs U1? Oh, I should have added: Music with big dynamics and heavy bass after the first month of break in will speed up the time before they sound best, each time you start from cold (system off for several days).Lots of parts in the crossover and for som... | |
| best way to break in Sound Labs U1? I mostly agree with Duke, except about break in.Having owned multiple pairs of Sound-Lab over a 15 year period, optimum break in does not occur until after 800 hours (or about 7 months use).I'm not saying you won't enjoy them until then, but U-1's... | |
| Do the VTL MB450's require matched tubes?? Factory matched quads from one of the two main vendors (New Sensor / Antique Electronics) is all that's required.New Sensor represents Sovtek, Electro-Harmonix, Tung Sol (reissue) and JJ. Antique is distributor for SED Wing C and also sells JJ, EI... |
