| How to tame the midrange??? Gmood1....thanks for the final push in the right direction. I have at least two good high end stores nearby, so auditioning gear should not be a problem. I hear ya on the cables thing.......can't wait to do some comparisons with some borrowed cabl... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Thank you for all of the advice. I have been away and unable to respond. GMood1....thanks for your comments. You confirmed my suspicions that a DAC, tubed preamp, and seperate two channel is the way to go. Others had the same advice. I just needed... | |
| A simple question from the new guy .... OK, I am convinced there may be more to vinyl than pops and surface noise. Gotta see what the fuss is all about. I recently learned of two good stores in the area. I think I will pay them a visit this weekend. Thanks to all! | |
| The new guy has a question.... Thanks Dave. I have already done everything you suggested except for using the digital connection for movies only. I will give that a shot. When I compared digital to analog connections for music, I was comparing 2 channel analog vs. 5.1 analog vs... | |
| ADCOM 535 See the recent thread "ADCOM repairs". It looks like Adcom has gone the mass market route mentioned above. | |
| The new guy has a question.... Edesilva.....thank you for clearing that up for me. I have been pondering that question for a while. Sometimes ya just gotta ask! Unsound....I have read that I should use the digital connections whenever possible. I was surprised to hear the analo... | |
| bass problem in a sailboat tscott, don't be fooled by power specs. Poly-Planar advertizes UP TO 45 watts per channel. That's peak power on a clear day, downhill, with a good head wind. Constant power (RMS)is another story. Still, I am constantly amazed at what the average h... | |
| bass problem in a sailboat The Infinity sub needs a minimum of 75 watts RMS. You have about 15 watts RMS max. But.... at 96 db sensitivity there might just be enough bass to fill a sailboat cabin. I would be interested in knowing how it sounds. | |
| Any shows coming up? I did not know about either of those stores. Thanks for your help. | |
| Any shows coming up? Thanks to all of the above for your help. For the past year I have been trying to achieve true high end sound with my system. The problem is, since I have never heard a truly high end system, I have no point of reference. I thought shows would be ... | |
| bass problem in a sailboat I had Poly Planar head unit and speakers in my boat and in my hot tub. All factory installed.....and all way below average in every way. Overpriced as well. Not 45 watts constant power.....peak only. I would try new speakers first. Bigger, if poss... | |
| ADCOM Repairs About two years ago I needed to get an Adcom pre pro repaired under the warrantee. I understand the ownership changed hands around the time of my call, so perhaps this is the "new" Adcom customer service policy. I was told since I did not buy my p... | |
| Any shows coming up? It looks like these shows do not happen as often as I thought. I found CES in LA next week, and Rocky Mountain next fall. Nothing on the east coast. I was really hoping to hear the best of the best all in one place and save time not having to go f... | |
| Big Stupid Warm Speakers I second the advice on JBL Northridge. Available at Best Buy, but less $$$$ on internet. Not only do they have the sound you are looking for,but you will be amazed at what these speakers can do at the price point. | |
| Strange thingie in power cord of used Adcom amp Sounds like a chuck key holder. Does that power cord have a Black and Decker logo on it? Seriously, I have two Adcom amps (one old...one new) and neither of them came with any power cord accessories. I would just chuck it. |
