| looking for a nice small home theatre set up Tannoy used to make a great speaker 5.1 set up. The sattelites and center are super small yet sound unreal, as they utilize a coaxial driver design (tweeter is stacked atop woofer). The sub is small as well, but potent, and utilizes both a driver ... | |
| LOOKING FOR CD STORAGE RACKS You could maybe try the spinner racks that hold cd's on multiple faces of the rack. Amazon sells a bunch...some larger ones have a capacity of 500 or more.... | |
| Looking for more detail in a speaker Along with more detail comes, usually, more brightness. I'll cope with a bit less detail for warmth. | |
| Why is black so popular for components? I like the marantz champagne finish, although seemingly only avail in the UK. They rather fancy the silver front fascias on the other side of the pond for some reason or other. In my set up, I like to mix and match, some black, some silver, along ... | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS I keep 2 channel as 2 channel, meaning completely seperate from the surround sound home theater stuff. I use a sony str dn1080 for home theater duties. It, in my opinion, is the best out there for years running for the price. No idea why anyone wo... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! There is video, I forget where i saw it, that demonstrates when you have adequately set anti-skate. It depicts the stylus in the dead wax, run-out groove, moving towards the label slowly. If it moves to quickly, you have too little anti-skate. I j... | |
| Floor standing or Large bookshelf recommendations - 2.0 channel setup I'd throw the Tannoy legacy eaton on that list. A very large stand mount. | |
| I've been dragged to recommendations, kicking and screaming I listen to the fm radio, both jazz and classical stations broadcasting in high quality FREE sound. I'm not paying for something I can still get for free, I seldom stream anything anyhow... | |
| My Oppo is a bit too bright Buy a dedicated cd player....the oppo is a do everything wonder, but not designed as a dedicated cd player and therefore is a compromise to fit all that in one box. It’s a great product, I own the 205. Better yet, get a cd transport and the dac of... | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? The wharfedale 225's as reviewed by three different reviewers in stereophile, who all agreed that the speaker has phenomenal bass, uses only a 6.5 inch bass driver, ported at the bottom surface of cabinet. One reviewer, I think the late Art Dudley... | |
| Looking for a new integrated amp Rogue Sphinx v3 hands down would be my choice. For the money I don't think it can be beat. I'm a class A guy now however, and I'm not going back.... | |
| the dreaded breaking of tonearm wire...now what? Buy one of those cheap third hand gadgets with the two alligator clips and integral magnifier from harbor freight tools. Also get a bright led light on it’s own stand and position where needed. Then get yourself some cardas silver solder. Here com... | |
| Good to remember ... how to tell what sounds better If my foot is tapping and my head is bobbing, then it sounds good. | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? There has to be as issue with alignment, a worn stylus, or maybe even your phono preamp. I have tons of classical recordings on lp and they sound excellent, with very little if any noise. | |
