| To tone control or not to tone control Seantaylor99I replaced the Infinity speakers with Silverline Sonatas. A big improvement, but the biggest improvement in dealing with the bad recordings was to replace the Sherwood cdp with a Theta Miles cdp. Now all cd's are listenable. Obviously ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music OK it's time for some Rock n Roll and blues. There is so many tunes that move me that it is impossible to give a top three. Right now I am listening to Elvin Bishop's "Struttin My stuff" and it is moving me. Among others that move me are "Golden C... | |
| Silverline LaFolia, anyone?anyone?Bueller?Bueller? I have the Sonatas and am very pleased with them. They do a great disappearing act, have great mids and highs and adequate and realistic bass. I can only imagine the LaFolia as being as good and most likely better. I believe both use the same twee... | |
| New Home Depot concept coming to Audio? It seems that you are trying to mass market a specialty item. I don't think the concept will work. Specialty items such as high end stereo requires passion. This is where mass marketing falls short. Their passion is to make a profit by selling a h... | |
| Best speaker with tubes? I'm with Philefreak. Try the Silverline Sonata. Works well with tubes. A great speaker with excellent imaging, superb mids and highs and will accurately produce all the bass you feed it. Silverline uses a 7 watt tube amp to demo these speakers. BT... | |
| Great cd players that can connect directly to a power amp? Theta Miles also has an analog volume control. One reviewer said he couldn't tell much differ3ence in sound with and without preamp and he had a very costly preamp. I don't recall what kind he had however. I have had the Theta Miles for a couple o... | |
| What's up with the Rega Planet 2000? It is quite interesting. Two more on Agon today. FWIW I was going to get a 2000 but decided against it because of the top loading. They have changed the loading compartment and, according to what I have read in reviews, have made it more cumbersom... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? Slowhand> This phenomenon happened about 3 weeks ago. Skeptics can say what they want about my mood, my electricity, my hearing, the phase of the moon etc. All I can say is that my wife heard the same thing. We did not want to go to bed thet ni... | |
| Break in period for power conditioners ? OK here's the scoop, the skinny, the lowdown, the deal... Power conditioners DO have a break in period. After about 3-4 days, the music sounded as good as it did before. I can't say it sounds better but at least the equipment is warrantied against... | |
| Rega Planet 2000 vs Theta Miles Thanks for your confirmation that I made the right decision. I ordered the Miles on Friday and it will be here Wednesday. The reviews I have read plus your input are making me anxious for Wednesday to get here soon. | |
| Rega Planet 2000 vs Theta Miles Gunbei, Does your transport play cdr's? | |
| Break in period for power conditioners ? Thanks guys. Played the system a little tonight. It seems that it may be coming around some. Nowhere near as thin as it was. Still not as warm as it should be but getting there hopefully. At this point more analytical than I'm used too. I'll give ... | |
| This ever happen to you? System, Oh... you don't remember. Well we were at your house listening to music yesterday when you suddenly said something about it making some wierd kinda noise. None of us heard it but you kept insisting that you did. It seemed to upset you that... | |
| This ever happen to you? On the count of three I'm going to snap my fingers. You will be completely awake but you won't recall any of the previous events. Okay: 1.......2...... | |
| Advise sought on Adcom 5800/5802 From what I've heard the 5800 is a dog. Stay away. Don't know about the 5802. Check the reviews. I would consider a Conrad Johnson amp to go with the preamp you already have. MF series is a good solid state choice. There are some available on the ... |
