| Right/Left channel balance issues? Pre-amp I would definitely be looking for a different preamp. Not only should it match precisely, but it is desirable to have a balance control to compensate for the irregularities found in many if not most recordings. I like to listen in a dead center po... | |
| How much are your speakers toed in? Dunlavys do best with the speakers aimed precisely at the center point of your listening position. They can also be (and is often the case) placed fairly wide apart. These speakers are extremely directional which makes for the most amazing soundst... | |
| Best Cd Player under $4000? I believe the best CD Player value (used) is the EAD Ultradisk 2000. These units can be had for under a $1,000.00 and will outperform almost anything new under $4,000.00. They can also be modified by former EAD designers and can be made to compete... | |
| Audio Research Sp-6a up in smoke Sending it to ARC can make it as good as new. Send it to Steve and he will make better than new! | |
| reasonable power chords - work with Bat VK600 Check out the Audio Magic cables. These silver cables are super fast without the upper end fatigue. Used Audio Magic cables on AudioGon are typically great bargains! | |
| HD radio Biggest 'bang-for-the-buck' product that I've seen. Treat it like a high-end componet (isolation/vibration etc.) and it does not disappoint! | |
| Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go... There are many great speakers (out there) and I have had some of the best in their day; but only the Dunlavys continue to endure. I presently have five different models in a variety of audio/video systems and I marvel at the ability to continue up... | |
| What the most musical power amp for under $1K? Nsgarch needs to 'get out' more. Newer (used) Rotels are quite good for the money as well as the NAD units that I have heard. Also, Audio Research made a D200 solid state unit that performed admirably well in my primary system for a time. I have a... | |
| Here's a real cool toe tapper Music...the 'universal language'??? | |
| Equipment failure with Dakiom tweaks? My experience with Dakiom has been for the most part very negative. I have experimented with the 273s and have found the following:* Using it with Rowland gear 501s/Capri is a big mistake as it produced a huge buzz the moment the equipment was t... | |
| Jeff Rowland I recently went with the Rowland 501s (class D) and the Capri preamp. This has been a definite upgrade to the very fine Audio Research gear that I had been using. An added plus has been the great reduction of heat coming off of the componets. I be... | |
| My dunlavy scV sound harsh I have had the Dunlavy SC 5s in my reference system for about 10 years. Through this period I have upgraded and changed out componets and cables. Every step has been positive with the speakers accurately reflecting these changes. I once dropped a ... | |
| High Current Monoblocks I would stay with something from ARC. There 'is' such a thing as synergy in a system. It's rarely achieved mixing multiple brands together. ARC spends a lot of time tweaking there designs by listening to them with other componets from there own li... | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll I basically agree with you Martykl. It's just that when 'rock stars' get idolized and Joshua Bell can play for a full hour in a New York Subway (yes, this really did happen) and hardly get noticed; there's something wrong with this picture. Garbag... | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll The 'irrefutable truth' is that everything associated with Rock and Roll is over rated. Classical music may not be everyone's 'cup of tea', but compared to Rock and Roll it's in a different stratosphere. The master composers had more creativity an... |
