| Percentage of cable cost Best to start out with cables purchased from monoprice dot com. That way you can forget about percentages. Monoprice cables will sound wise beat anything you pay mega bucks for. Try them, you can ship them back if not satisfied. Don't fall into th... | |
| Do glass shelves affect sound Quality? Just say no to glass. Less expensive and better sound management shelves are available. If you have glass, a very inexpensive tweak is to line the bottoms of the shelve surface with heavy felt, which is available in many colors, including black, t... | |
| VPI Traveller Harry's at it again, a stripped down Scout with options that will run it into the $3K class. Great marketing. Best look for used VPI units, better value, better sound. Don't join the upgrade bank wagon. | |
| Best budget amp match with ProAc Tablettes I am sure you would want to buy my two pairs of Marantz M-22 amps. I've used them in bi amp mode with my ProAc's and they provide great sound. Let me know. | |
| In-celing and in-wall speaker choice Without knowing the room dimensions anybody would be hard pressed to give any real guidance. Suggest you read Floyd Toole's book on 'Sound Reproduction' to get a clear understand of what factors are in play. | |
| Any hope for SACD? Not until they release Miles/Blue on SACD. It has been long promised, but never appears. My guess is that it would sell over a million copies, a breath some life into the format. | |
| Automatic Turntables All the Denon 'F' series are full auto, repeat included. Look for the 47F model, it is a winner. Very reliable. Currently own two, one as a back up. I have given a few of these to my children hoping to get them interested in vinyl, in a painless w... | |
| New York Show Equipment Review Maybe those who went to give us an overall rating of the show, with a 10 being a knockout. How about it guys. | |
| Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread Buyers are best to stick to PayPal payments. Sellers should use PayPal but not release the goods to the Buyer until the funds are fully cleared, e. g. 30 days plus. The fact PayPal puts a hold on funds going to the seller is the biggest hang up wi... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State If you need to stick to the B&W's, stick with SS. In addition to all the reasons stated, tubes will be unstable with the loads the B&W need. I had a similar problem with my B&W's but I then sold them off to get speakers that were tube ... | |
| Expensive Condo - Expensive Audio It all looks great, but how does it sound? By any measure, not good, having all the acoustic flaws that are well known to all in the hobby. Eye candy it is! | |
| NYC Axpona Audio Show report The thin rooster indicated that 'shows' as part of the hi end business model, are fading. Perhaps Rocky Mountain is the only exception. Most successful audio product lines use a business model of a strong dealer network, coupled with lavish attent... | |
| Audiophile stores in Denver metro area If you wonder why 'brick & mortar' stores are disappearing it is because of the likes of GerryM5. He will not buy anything at the store he goes to. Perhaps he will hear a piece of gear that he likes, but then will find it closer to home. He tu... | |
| Speaker grill material, any real difference? You need to get 'naked', so you can enjoy better sound. Grilles must go, so forget amount 'cloth'. | |
| Can my room support the Dynaudio C4s? Make a dealer work for you. Get one to give you an in home demo. |
