| i want better sounding speakers Wow, that's vague! I suggest Magnepan if you don't need concussive bass slam. There's also Vandersteen. Maybe try some vintage speakers with a tube receiver? | |
| Whose sorry now? Sellers remorse from selling amp. No, all of amps have been upgrades across the board. | |
| filthy pigs Cat pee on a speaker once. Yuck. | |
| Cleveland, OH PIAS does seem to charge higher. So I would avoid them. Actually the best bet in the Cleveland area is to drive to Progressive Audio in Columbus, OH on High St. on the OSU campus. It's definitely worth the two hours drive. Other than that, I recom... | |
| How to tame remote volume control on TAD-150 i would get some fixed, inline attenuations. give Ric at EVS a call. Else, can the manufacter modify the preamp for less gain, or perhaps provide a different pot with the taper control you want? | |
| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question Mint604, while limit yourself to just one turntable and just one arm on each table? Take a tip for Raul (I believe). Get Lloyd to make you a custom table with his linear tracking arm and an extra arm mount for a Schröder. Sometimes you feel like a... | |
| Can these be used for both Plasma and 2-channel?? No. I would not hook up a speaker to two different amps (plasma counts as an amp in this case), I believe this causes problems for the amp not in use. At least not without a switch box of some sort. I think it's because the output stage of the run... | |
| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question Kharma Grand Enigma loudspeakers with the requisite subterranean listen room (cavern?). http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&974265178&openusid&zzTacs&4&5. Dealers and manufacturers would then be flown in to allow me t... | |
| does anybody still listen That's almost reason enough to get a sea of CD magazine changers or a hard disk player. That way you can easily force yourself to listen to to stuff (especially B-sides) to albums that you have forgotten. Just put the "whole thing" on shuffle. As ... | |
| The Mechanics of WAF I think a lot of the WAF claims is ads are white lies. I think in many of the cases the seller didn't like the sound of the speakers and is trying to unload them. I mean, would YOU buy speakers that someone says don't sound good? One would like to... | |
| Optical Retrieval from "Touchy-Feely" Vinyl You should get more hits than that. I think Arthur Salvatore has mentioned it more than that on his (controversial) audio website. Plus all of the buzz on the ELP from recent "shows." You can read Arthur's opinions, but the executive summary seems... | |
| audiophiles or retrophiles Both! (sadly) | |
| Tired of my crappy remote. Any suggestions? Ditto. I don't use any remotes and just get up anytime I need to adjust the volume, balance, or operate the CD player. I find it actually makes my listening sessions more relaxing. YMMV.Aaron | |
| Tired of my crappy remote. Any suggestions? There's always the Weemote. http://www.weemote.com/products.html . That's only got a few buttons. If you want something a bit more ordinaly looking, but still with an InfraRed signal strength that like literally allow you to bounce the beam off of... | |
| Powering off vs leaving on KKM, my concern was wear on the tubes and sonics. But I do not think you post was aimed at me. I agree with you. Well made gear should be expected to both stand up to 24/7 duty cycles, as well as being switched on and off. But sometimes, even with... |
