| Acoustic Damping Behind Speakers? In 1979 we had the entire wall covered in cardboard eggcrates behind the double Advents. I don't know if it really sounded better or not but people knew we were serious when they walked in. We were blowin' our brains out to Supertramp and Michael ... | |
| Parasound JC-1 still one of the leaders? Taste and synergy rule as always. Hard to ignore the rave reviews but I had JC-1's and sold them to go back to my trusty Rotel RB-1090 and was much happier (and had another three grand to play with). Now using class D Wyred 4 Sound STI-500 integra... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Oh yeah, and you don't have to contend with us. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Orp10, if you're one of the few that can appreciate the subtle nuances that ONLY a tube amp can deliver, then why did you ask the question in the first place? Not that I agree since I sit listening to magical music provided by my humble SS system.... | |
| Learning remote Logitech has one for $50.00-model #300 that is capable of learning most any codes. I just got the next model up #650 for $99.00 and it learned my Wyred 4 Sound integrated amp codes and works perfectly. While it did take me hours to customize it ju... | |
| Integrated amp for Usher Be-718? Yesterday I bought a Wyred 4 Sound STI-500 class D integrated for my BE-718's. To my ears the combination is astonishing. Now I feel I'm hearing the full potential of the speakers. I had the chance to home demo the amp and it sounded so good I bou... | |
| Solid state amp for Stratus Gold i I used a Rotel RB-1090 for years and they sounded great together. You really can't have too much power for Goldi's. I used others as well-Parasound JC-1's, Nuforce 9SE's, and tried others but the Rotel had the most body, bass, and tamed the highs ... | |
| Touch up rust spots in black steel speaker stand? No problems with drips as long as you are patient and don't spray the paint on too thick. | |
| Touch up rust spots in black steel speaker stand? I just bought a used pair of Sound Anchor stands that need a little touch up, too. The paint is a little grayed out so rather than touch up I'm going to clean them and then rattle-can the entire stands with some textured black paint that I got at ... | |
| Remember your Magnavox? I still have my first Magnavox CD player w/FTS favorite track selection feature that got all the accolades in the early/mid 80's-but it's in the storage unit! CDP650 or something like that. Jeez, I tried that thing out for fun a year or two ago an... | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound Juan, if 80% of the systems you're heard sound horrible, and many are upwards of $50K, then maybe it's your ears or preferences that are so different than the rest. In my experience most decent systems sound amazingly similar making me wonder why ... | |
| Large Object Between Mini Monitors on Stands... I've had a four to five foot long aquarium in between my speakers since I was fourteen years old (36 years ago) so I don't even know what nuthin' between the speaker sounds like. I do have exceptional imaging, though. If you like tropical fish tha... | |
| Upgrading from my Rotel RCD-1072 I suggest you take your Rotel player to your dealer and see if it also sounds similar to the two you're considering before spending the big bucks. | |
| what type of sand to use? Quicksand. | |
| PSB Synchrony One owners - placement question? I have Synchrony Ones and I really don't get all the comments about them being bass-heavy. I had Stratus Goldi's before these and they had a lot more bass although it was less refined. I run dual JL Audio F110 subs with my Synch Ones and have the ... |
