| BEST RECORDING STUDIO In my firm's line of work, I am priviliged to get to see many great recoring studios, sound stages and sound mixing consoles. And I will tell you that they are all very, very different.For example, one of our customers has a renowned large recordi... | |
| 1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion ABlang,Spendors are fine speakers; while they are not my cup of tea I don't know anyone who would classify them as bright or fatiguing. Have you considered your room? Maybe it would benefit from some treatment. | |
| Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? Eyediver,You have received a lot of good information and advice here. I will agree with the folks who have pointed you to some of the older CJ gear - I have a Premier 11a and think that it sounds great in my small listening room. But it doesn't so... | |
| 2 preamp switcher. You want to look at the Manley Skipjack. Not cheap, but a very good unit IMHO.http://www.manleylabs.com/containerpages/skipjack.html | |
| How do you drive 12 Ohm speakers? Antonkk, do you read Russian or is there an english translation page? | |
| Audio Research LS-16 Mk2 vs LS-17 preamp IMHO the LS-16 is a very good (but not great) preamp. If you want great you might look at the LS-26 - it's a giant killer. | |
| Speaker Placement Problem Paulsax asked "aren't there some Dyn's with front porting?"Dunaudio used to sell a small, front-ported speaker called the Audience 42W. I use a pair of these in my office system w/ a classic Luxman integrated amp and I think that they sound great.... | |
| Making the best of mediocre speakers I had a similar experience with my wife years ago, in our living room. In short I could not make in-wall speakers work. They were OK for background music (or maybe HT), but it was impossible to get any kind or decent stereo imaging and soundstage ... | |
| Is there a better quality Firewire cable? Gents,I understand your reluctance to avoid a "bits are bits" discussion. And I appreciate the fact that some of you claim that you can hear a difference between digital cables. I can't. Given a cable that can make a good connection to the FireWir... | |
| Favourite Vinyl female and male vocals All great choices above, especially the great Miss Ella IMHO.Don't forget the incredibly talented Laura Nyro. Although she is best remembered as a composer she had an incredibly earthy yet sweet voice. | |
| Is there a better quality Firewire cable? Tbg,"...digital cables also matter"Please explain to me how a cable that is only passing 0s and 1s, and has error correction on the devices connected at both ends (in the case of FireWire), can possibly affect the end result? Jitter (timing issues... | |
| Zu Essence vs B&W I would advocate that you ask your dealer to let you borrow a pair of Von Schweikerts and try them out with your equipment and in your room. If you pay close attention to speaker placement I would be very surprised if they didn't sound awesome for... | |
| Integrated for Harbeth Small Room System I can recommend the Atoll IN-100. Fantastic build quality and very musical. It does not sound "dry" as do some SS amps, and that might make it a good match for the Harbeths. I recently bought a dealer demo w/ less than 20 hours on it, full waranty... | |
| Great speakers for a small room If you have $2K - $4K on speakers for your room, you can probably borrow some from local dealers and test them out yourself. Personally, I probably wouldn't spend that much gelt on speakers in a "compromised" (less than optimal) setup. I think tha... | |
| Great speakers for a small room You say that this is an office; what furniture is in the room and where will the speakers be placed? Will there be a desk between you and the speakers, for instance?Also, I am curious - how do you keep a 60W KT88 amp from turning your small room i... |
