| anyone familiar with Audes speakers? I have the CS105 model(I think that is the model #). Very good for the price. I use them in my secondary bedroom system. Company used to make parts for Mig fighters before USSR died. Believe it or not their experience with tube gear comes from the... | |
| Inner Sound Eros Experiences I've got the Newform Research Monitor 30's and the soundstage and imaging are great. The sweet spot, about maybe 2 people wide, but it is listeable in much wider area. They have that great airiness of electrostatics. These are made to mated to sub... | |
| "Protocols" of record cleaning Try going to the website www.hifiheaven.com and go to the vinyl heaven section. There are some good links there with recommendations for commercial and DIY cleaners and methods. Thanks, Ben | |
| New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade Please don't bash EE's just because of this guy. I was into audiophile listening long before I became an EE. I'm not a tube guy, but I don't diss anyone for their preference, just because I prefer solid state (no tube maintenance to take away from... | |
| Your Listening chair I use an Ekornes stressless chair. Reclines fully, swivels and non-intrusive headrest. Very good back and neck support, upholstered in comfortable leather. Only drawback is cost, I got mine for about $1100 on sale. | |
| Nakamichi CA-7 preamp Oh, forgot to say that this is still my main pre-amp and never had a problem with it. Although I will upgrade this in the next year. | |

| Record Cleaners-Which Work-Which Don't Does anyone have any experience with the Nitty Gritty cleaners and if they work well or not? | |
| Best beadroom speaker under $350 (NHT?) The Audes list for $549 from a regular dealer on Audiogon. So you didn't get to listen to an under $500 from them. | |
| Best beadroom speaker under $350 (NHT?) Try the Audes CS 105. There are a couple of pairs on e-bay for sale now. I got a pair for my bedroom for just about $100 (that includes shipping cost) three months ago. This is an Estonia company that used to make Mig fighter jets and turned to au... | |
| Opinions on Newform Research Speakers I don't have experience with the 645's but I have the older Model 30's paired with a Definitive Technology Powerfield Subwoofer. The sound is very open and airy with an excellent soundstage. You need to pay attention to placement and the make sure... | |
| Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000 I agree with Sedond. The Newform Research speakers are hard to beat at their price. Plus their is I believe a 30 day home trial period offered. The transparency, open sound and soundstage are great. I don't know about the wife approval factor thou... | |
| Experience with Newform Research? I have a pair of the model 30s with a Definitive Tecnologies subwoofer. The imaging is very good and above average detail. Be prepared for a quite different sound than a box speaker. If you listen to loud rock and roll, then this is not the speake... |
