| Buyer Beware! Well, Monday has come and gone w/out a reply from the person I purchased the cables from. Of course, the cables have not arrived. I will therefore contact Audiogon staff tonight to ask them to follow up and eventually release the address and phone... | |
| Buyer Beware! Avguygeorge - This was a private seller, not a delaer. It seems he was a first time seller, as there is no feedback on him on Audiogon. Out of courtesy, and giving him a bit of the benefit of the doubt, I won't post his name until Monday. He was s... | |
| Buyer Beware! My recent experience is a bit worse. I just purchased a pair of speaker cables on a direct sale @ Audigon. The seller was very communicative as long as I was still making up my mind. I paid the full asking price via PayPal, and he acknowledged pay... | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions Trelja-OK, I'll bite. What are the silver Lace IC's like? Had not heard about these yet... | |
| Acoustic panels You want to treat all first refelction points. Usually, this will mean 2 panels on each side wall, two panels on the ceiling and, depending on hwere speakers ar eplaced, 2-3 panels on wall behind the speakers. For the final touch, one panel to dif... | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas with Krell FPB 600? Don't know about the Extremas, but my Guarneir's sound a lot better (i.e., magical midrange, awesome highs) with tubes thant with SS. I wnet from Bryston 7 BST monos to Aronov monos and do not miss the Brystons at all. | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions I alos use the HGA Su-er Silvers in all tube system w/ silk dome tweeters on the loudspeakers. Sibilance and noise florr problems as well, the later essentially gone after I put on Rf stoppers. However, purchased a set of shileded Fidelity researc... | |
| Best Subwoofer(s) for SF Guarneri Homage Well, having lived with the Guarneri/REL combo for a few months, I am thinking about thaking the sub out. Even at it's lowest crossover setting, the sub generates output up to 50 Hz, and leads to a hump at arounf 40 Hz given the Guarneri's respect... | |
| Records Everywhere - Help! Check out IKEA on the Web. Their BONDE line bookcases are PERFECT for LPs, and come in several sizes. | |
| Severe Imaging Problem David - Where od your sit in relation to the loudspeakers and the room. One thing you could try to help you determine if you have an equipment problem is so set yourself and speakers up for very close nearfield listening, which is another way of g... | |
| Digital Interconnect - Recos? Not Kevin. It was Greg Fowler. He said I shouldn't spend too much 'cause they hadn't seen much difference. | |
| Linn system: speaker matching Have you tried Linn louspeakers? I've listened to Kabers, Keilidhs and 5140's in several set ups and always been impressed by the speed and clarity, especially when run "active" w/ all Linn gear. If you want speed, rythm and pace, these are a pret... | |
| Advice for big sound in small room Sound treatment. I have a room of similar dimensions with "monitor" speakers. To get the best sound, suggest you try the speakers along the long wall spaced as wide as possible (8 ft or so). This will put them rather close to the side walls, but i... | |
| Biggest hype-worst tweak Kurt et al - I would avoid using Joy or any other dishwashing liquid on your CD's or LP's. It's overkill, may damage the surfaces because of its very high pH, and will leave residues behind (Polymers, perfumes). In case you are wondering, I work f... | |
| Neutrik XLR to RCA Adapters Swampwalker - I don't think you'll get much benefit from using a balanced cable if your source does not put out a truly balanced signal. I don't know much about the RCA vs XLR's inputs on you BAT, but I would venture that the balanced inputs/circu... |
