| MC352 into varying-load speaker? Take it easy on the volume control or you aren't going to have any hearing. | |
| Martin-Logan as alternative to Magnepan 1.6's Which speaker is beside the point. If you've done your homework right in the beginning, I don't believe you're going to get that much better sound from M-Ls without spending a lot more.Of course, upgrading can be fun. | |
| Maggie 1.6QR Acoustic Treatment For starters, anything over the window in back of our speakers is better than nothing to prevent reflections. As long as you're going curtain shopping with wife, you should also consider how to tame sidewall reflections. It doesn't have to be expe... | |
| Speaker position I'm sure, that given you price range, if you keep your eyes open something will strike your fancy. | |
| Active studio monitors. Nobody has them. Why? It's already expensive enough to upgade, don't make it more expensive. Anyways, I don't think a constantly vibrating enviroment is ideal. | |
| Tired and formulaic:the 2-way standmount.... Ah, innovation & creativity vs. the dollar. In these ecoonmic times, the allmighty dollar will win trump creativity everytime. Sad, but I think true. | |
| Monarchy SM-70 Pro won't power up Don't panic!Before taking to repair, check fuse to make sure you didn't trip during move & also outlet to make sure visibly working by plugging in lamp/clock radio to check. | |
| Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Sig preamp mods? Talk mod over with Parts Connxtion. Chris Johnson was founder of Sonic Frontiers & has many ex Sonic Frontiers employees. Someone working for PC probably designed Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 preamp. I had them mod Jolida JD-100 & am very satisfied. | |
| Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Jane Monheit....? Not strickly jazz, but a good listen: Rickie Lee Jones, Holly Cole & Karrin Allyson. Kind of quirky but another I would recommend is Patricia Barber. | |
| I have a Denon dvd-5000; it won'd read cd-r's If it was made close to or before the advent of CD-Rs, of course it won't read CD-Rs. Some CDPs made now won't read CD-Rs. | |
| Starter Turntable Turntables are the best; but only if you've got big bucks & patience to set up correctly. If not, your local retailer is giving you good advice. | |
| Listening Chairs Check out Backsaver ( http://www.backsaver.com/ ). Expensive but look comfortable. | |
| Distance from the speakers to the seating position Generally speaking, rule of thumb I initally use is to be at apex of equallateral triangle & adjust from there for solid central image. I find my speakers central image sound slightly better if I sit slighty back of apex of eqilateral triangle... | |
| Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp Robert Harley's book "The Complete Guide to High End Audio (original version in paperbsck) has an excellent definition of input/output impedance on pages 395-397.I use a Cary tubed pre-amp & a Musical Design SS power amp without problems. Woul... | |
| going to tubes, just one question.. Ditto Kehut!My advice would be to plan purchase of amp/speakers together or have a plan you can follow through on if buying one now & the other later. |
