| AES Cary Sixpacs and Silverline Audio Sonata III Bauerp My room is just over 4M wide, and just under 6M deep, with the speakers firing off the short wall. I've two openings towards the rear of the room and one on either side.There's more than one way to skin a cat, as they say. I'm thinking the ... | |
| most annoying neighbor? My experience is similar to Jacks2... Some deaf and near deaf girls moved into the then vacant home next door to me. I understand physical challenges all to well. I have more trouble with poor behavior however. they all worked second shift and aft... | |
| Tube Preamp Isolation suggestions If you have an outboard power sup. addressing it may help. on mine, the audio is affected only by addressing it, not the preamp itself. I think I could turn my pre on it's side and it'd play well still. My pre has the BDR feet as OEM eq.I've also ... | |
| If you started over what would you do differently? ...IF I HAD IT TO DO ALL OVER AGAIN......learned the piano instead of the Trumpet..... Bet a lot more money on joe Namath's Jets, instead of Johnny U and his Colts...I'd have either finished college, or stayed in the military longer....never ever,... | |
| Transport mechanism maximum "life". 6 years on avg. for the sony's. Playing time is the key. Actual spinning of the disc. there's truly no hard and fast rules but it's always 'SPINNING TIME'... and not just turned on time. Keeping the ambient temp constant can allow for continuous e... | |
| Why sound is not balanced? I'll echo the above postings about first, turning around at the LP and listening... then proceed with the wire swapping.... THEN not only windows but openings to the room will allow for a suck out to whatever side the opening is, especially if it'... | |
| Build your ultimate FANTASY system Wellll... if the TT was just below waist level... about knee height, so swapping out records would be as interesting as listening to them.... BUT... GIVEN THE PARAMETERS OF FANTASY SYSTEM... Well, it's hard to get past the above posted equipment, ... | |
| BAT VK-D5SE CD Player for Wilson Audio Sophias An online review from a couple years ago had a shoot out between both the BAT and the Krell CDPs. you might want to look that one up.... the BAT was the percieved winner, BTW. | |
| Review: Soundstring 1 M XLR Interconnect Interconnect Pjl2122 An appropriate ovservation. I suspect many if not all cable makers products, if used throughout a system will be more additive than if used in simply one instance or another singularly.Another online review says as much too. so the makers ... | |
| BAT + VR 4 JR = ? Samzx12 huh. Actually I'm thinking designer colored Romex.Joeyboynjthanks much.well if you've been watching you know I now have the silverline sonata IIIs, not the JRs. No more BAT gear either. The addition of the Thor pre, and Dodd 120 mono's was... | |
| BAT + VR 4 JR = ? Stringreen Garbage?No sense in mincing words, HUH? Cardas & Purist cables are likely just for the tone deaf then, huh? It's always nice to see someone who isn't cloistered or inundated with tact or good manners.Im sure Cardas & Purist cab... | |
| Power Cords and Power Conditioner, How to arrange? I'll also go with Samuel's account. however, you can and will experience different sound characteristics depending upon which cord is where.the Hydra is not an active cond. Passive only. Just a filter. I've tried a couple types of pasive filters S... | |
| Review: Synergistic Research resolution Refference X2 active Interconnect Kenscollick Thanks. Me too. Yes I'm already using another SR cable, the Acoustic Ref. In fact I've tried the Accelerator too, but opted instead for the AR. Prevailing issues are likely going to force me to sell the Resolution ref X2, another set o... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I'd say the short answer is "Yes".BUT perhaps one should define what is meant here by True Audiophile first. Eh?Are audio nuts, (to supplant the aforementioned), only those who trudge the less traveled path? Buying only the esoteric and eclectic... |
