| What don't you like about these speakers? I respectfully disagree with Tpsonic... the Gallos are quite happy with Maccormack DNA 0.5's with much less power. TP is right on with the reflectivity of the room affecting tone & setup up "challenges" with the SA. | |
| Chinese Speaker Prices After you ship, be ready to pay import duties too...(and pass on warranty support) | |
| What don't you like about these speakers? If you plan to purchase the Gallos & use them with the Dynaco 70, you should sharpen your pencil & see if you can fit the SA in the mix.In terms of auditioning, I'd be ready to switch the Gallos Left for Right... in some roooms & setup... | |
| Preamp match for Mccormack DNA-125 If you're not dead set on the remote, I'd get a Supratek Syrah... see the thread about best preamps under $10k.I have a similar system (Supratek--SMC DNA 0.5 Platinum--Ref. III's). | |
| Absolute newbie question ?? 1. Grado has a number of good inexpensive cart's2. A new DVD is out on phono setup... will get the details later...don't have it with me now. Other options include the geodisk, wallytools, etc. | |
| Dared amps KT,I do spend a fair amount of time in Shenzhen (I head there about 1/10 weeks for a few days). Usually don't go shopping,b ut I might try to find where you describe... don't speak enough Chinese to try anything, but I can always get a colleague t... | |

| Help with getting best sound from room Rule,Vinyl blinds will function nothing like cellular shades. The cells (or even better, double cells) provide the functionality and not the surface (even if it was the surface, you are comparing relatively hard vinyl to cloth).Some other things y... | |
| Help with getting best sound from room Agree with Kal... for a little stretch (around $1k) you can get a Rives Level I design.(or, I'd consider moving your speakers even wider apart and further from the back wall... and invest in cellular shades for the windows) | |
| where do you hang these panels You can use the candle or lamp technique to if you have any first reflection points on the front wall (check before you laugh).A lot of people will put them in the center of the front wall (often, there's an equipment rack there).Then, I'd use the... | |
| Dared amps I've got their VP-300B quasi-monoblocks (power supplies share a box). I've use it as my main amp (running Gallo Ref 3's) and its normal home is to drive my headphones (Stax Lambdas).never had any problems... even dropped one of them from about 2 f... | |
| Stereo stand with adjustable shelves Guys,I did buy a custom tt platform from Timbernation (wanted different dimensions). Looks great & a pleasure to deal with. | |
| Stereo stand with adjustable shelves Tvad's suggestion is a good one. I had a Salamander for a few year...and then when I got tired of my Salamander rack, I made new shelves & used the hardware for my DIY Flexi rack (you can see a photo in my virtual system) | |
| How Do I Build a Faraday Cage? Eldartford has it right from a physics point of view.Practically speaking, we also used to use metal window screen material (stands up better & you can see through it). Then just run a wire to ground (if you use a water pipe, have to make sure... | |
