| 2 Channel Speaker Placement Need Help As a test of what wall treatments might do, hang some blankets on the walls. This is a cheap way to tell if some improvement will help. If the blankets provide improvement I would go for the real thing. Plenty of information on the site about that. | |
| Anyone used a USB microscope to align cartridge? Some web cams will also do the trick. | |
| Which integrated Amp, Almarro,Cayin,Red Wine? As many have said in this post, Cayin units have great sound, and are great values, not to mention they are very reliable. I have the 100, 88 and VAS monoblocks. | |
| suggestions on affordable equipment stands. Ikea stuff is a great value and if you add half inch granite tops to stiffen the structure you get a great combo. The half inch stuff is generally available for about $40 a square foot. I've seen quarter inch going for about $25 a square foot. Oft... | |
| Shelby Lynn: Just a Little Lovin LP My copy is very quite, I don't know what pressing it was from. Great music. | |
| Christmas Tree Echo Control Of course she will let you keep the tree up, all year. In fact she is planning to put up another behind the other speaker. Christmas, all year round. I think it is a plot on her part to keep you from buying another piece of gear. Clever, she is. | |
| cayinA100 T tube amp I have an A100 and drive it with a preamp connection. The preamp I use is the VAS Citation I, made by Cayin's parent. I also use the VAS Citation to drive VAS mono blocks, in a three channel configuration. Very happy with the 'Cayin' sound. I do n... | |
| Anyone try the new Parasound Phono Stage? Acoustic Sounds is advertising them in its recent holiday catalog, so it must be shipping. | |
| What are you sitting on? Whatever you do, don't go for anything leather. It is highly reflective and will muddy the sound. LazyBoy? Of course. Skip anything that is a recliner as it tilts the head to a less then optimum listening position. Comfort is the hallmark of the l... | |
| No More TT Feedback Always remove the dust cover from its hinges is the best way to go as it is a major collector of acoustic energy that rattles the table. Also, look into getting some 'moon gel' pads for use under the table. The latter, found at musicians supply st... | |
| Man between two eras Go new, and look into the accessories4less site as they run many closeout items at good prices and they are an authorized dealer for many lines. I've been happy with the purchases I have made their. | |
| Vandersteen 7 at Audio Connection I like the remark 'little reason to spend any more', but much better would be 'a big reason to spend less'. I've heard the 7's and really don't think it is in the class of $45K speakers, may $10K. It is easily bested by JBL Everest speakers at its... | |
| Who sells Proac speaker cables? The dealer is the Audio Connection in Verona. I tried these on loan from the AC to see if they would improve the sound of the various ProAc speakers I have. In my system, tubes all the way, I found no real improvement over the 12 gauge homedepot w... | |
| ps audio hdmi cables Often ignored is the fact that if a HDMI cable fully meets the EEEC spec, all are equal. Paying more provides nothing more. Yes, cables can be defective, e. g. not meeting spec, and there you will hear a difference. So, beware of vendors seeking y... | |
| Sound Valves VTP-101 Preamp This is a great unit. I have one, still running it for over 12 years now. I use it with Sound Valves Mono blocks M60. I run a VPI Aries/Clearaudio Victory into it. Great sound if married with tube amps. Quickly buy it. Easy to sell on e-bay. They ... |
