| Speaker Daze Budget of 1500-2000 my room is pretty close to that size and my Sttafs are perfect. I have them about 4 1/2ft into the room from the wall, and my listening position is about 4ft in from the back wall. After trying many configs, this was ideal. I added a subwoofer (Re... | |
| Best amp for GMA Europas? I recall a thread not long ago discussing what amps people are driving their Europas with. You may want to try a search. | |
| Home cinema newbie questions...preamp advice I'm not sure if you'll really get much out of 3 channels vs Stereo. I find the center channel isn't always helpful, or even noticeable. This is especially true if your speakers image well. I do like having the rear channels however, and for that y... | |
| How to repair a broken dust cover? thanks Dave! | |
| Buying Used-Ever wonder??? I suppose I have; however this wasn't my experience with my Storm III. You may want to spend some time to ensure it's properly integrated. | |
| Signet TK7SU - new stylus? while looking for another TT part I came across a source for the Sgnet Shibata stylus (LPGEAR.com) for $80. So the difference will be only $43, which I assume is worth it. I guess I'd still like learned opinions on my other questions . . . thanks! | |
| Oddball question, hooking up REL Storm III Subwoof I've made my own Neutric cables, the connectors are available at Parts Express cheap, and hi-level input is definitely the way to go . . .Unless you have an old preamp sitting around that can be connected in parallel with your integrated I think y... | |
| Ever use "switched" outlets on preamp? I ran my old Phase Linear 400 power amp using the switched outlet of my Rotel RC1070 for 3 years. Before that I used the switched outlet from a Marantz 3200 pre for 20 years. It worked great up until the time I upgraded and sold all that stuff off... | |
| Acoustic Progressive Rock Matchstikman - from your comments I can't tell if Strawbs is your cup of tea, but if they do interest you and you're seriously looking for acoustic - check out Baroque & Roll. It was released last year, is totally acoustic, and has songs from ... | |
| "White noise hiss" through speakers. I have experienced the same hiss to greater or lesser extent with various components. I think it's dependent on the component (usually the preamp in my experience) but I think it's also related to the environment (ie, how many noise sources you ha... | |
| Green Mountain Audio at RMAF I can understand Tlday's response - I doubt Europas will impress anyone on first listen unless conditions are appropriate. I bought my Europa's used, having not listened to them previously. I did so based on all of the raves on this site and elsew... | |
| GMA Europa owners use what amp? I've driven mine in 3 configurations - in my primary system I have B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks. I've also used them for the fronts in a HT system driven by a B&K AV5125. Finally, I tried them with a Bedini 100.100 for a bit. The best result... | |
| Acoustic Progressive Rock Acoustic Strawbs "Baroque and Roll" is fantastic. Several bands have good "mostly" acoustic songs mixed oin on their albums - including Porcupine Tree, Rennaisance, Illusion, and Mostly Autumn. Anthony Philips stuff is good. While they're not exac... | |
| Camel - Nod and Wink - Impressive Album Great call by Rwwear - I received the copy of the "Coming of Age" DVD I ordered today and have finished the first viewing. It's excellent all the way through - and especially "Ice". I wish the audio as DD5.1 (it's 2.0), but the video, camera work ... | |
| Problems with shipping to Canada I had the same thing happen (I can tell we both received the same form letter). In my case I sent an email to the buyer (this happened 4 months after the sale) reminding him he agreed to pay these fees. Fortunately for me, he had already paid them... |
