| Mirage M1 8" woofer substitute Which ever brand of woofer you choose, I would install one new and one older driver in each speaker.I have no idea if this after market driver will be as good as the original but my advice would at least give you a shot at balancing the channels. | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" The way the Lisa's voice is recorded and processed it's can cause some speakers to sound peaked, excited or resonant. The higher the volume the more likely the problem. Be sure to double check your turntable and cartridge set up, anything wrong th... | |
| Line Array Speaker vs Point Source Speaker To me a point source if well executed should sound more coherent with much more focus. I have no idea why anyone (except Al Porter) would go down this road. Instead of ten tweeters why not use just one? Actually Dali Megaline have only one tweeter... | |

| thoughts while listening Rok2id.A guy would have to be dead to not respond to that image of Taylor Swift (I don't even have her music :^).The other girls are all in my library and I sincerely love them for their talent and the images they put in my head. | |
| Best way to store cartridges? Nick,You can store it at my home, I have four tonearms so one can be it's resting / storage place. You're welcome to visit and listen to it whenever you wish so you can confirm I'm taking good care of it. | |
| thoughts while listening If it's a male singer I think about the recording, the space around the microphone, tonal accuracy and bandwidth. Perhaps even the color and dynamics of the music.However, Kate Bush, Allison Krauss, Melody Gardot, Taylor Swift and Fiona Apple brin... | |
| Inexpensive CD Player How odd that you should mention the Rotel RCD-855, I have one that was given to me as a favor, a reward for helping a friend sell off extra audio gear.I hooked the Rotel up a few days ago, needing something after having sold my Oppo BDP-83. The Op... | |
| Pet Peeves Tell Lucky hello back for me. Yes, it's been a long time since the old AudioMart days.I remember I would sit for hours with a ruler to separate the ads so I didn't misread prices. One friend would use a copy shop to blow up the entire issue so he ... |
