| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... 08-23-06: Ben_campbellCapt369's post shows the depth of thinking about music for a whole lot of people and I think that's fine but it's neither interesting or thought provoking in itself.Audiogon is filled with this level of comment time and time ... | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... I never really "got" Dylan. He came on the scene when I was in my late teens. Sure, he suffered some pain and had a little insight into the human condition but so did most of the rest of us. As one of the, ahem, original hippies, I smoked tons of ... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? I use Gregg Straley`s Reality sp. cables and ic`s in my system. They`re sonically neutral, I think. Does it get any better than that? | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Herbies new Grungebuster 2.2 cd mat ($12.95)...unbelievable difference. It`s almost like going from digital to analogue. I won`t play a cd without it. | |
| I hope break in is true Sean...we must have posted at the same time. Yup, got it. Thanks for your input.In fact, I`ve learned a few things from your posts the past few months. | |
| I hope break in is true Disregard my last post. On reflection, I realized all you have to do is keep the volume at an appropriately lower volume. Sheesh!I`ll now go bang my head against a wall. I`ll relate to all how many head bangs it takes for brain break-in. :) | |
| I hope break in is true I just received my new merlin monitors. I`m wondering if the ayre breakin cd would be too poweerful for a single 6" woofer. | |
| Best path to upgrade my source Sfar... Sorry for this late response. Thank you for the detailed description of the Dac ah. I will certainly consider it. | |
| Speakers Like Merlin VSM? Ellery,Perhaps it would be best to contact Bobby personally.www.merlinmusic.comI received my new TSM MMe`s two days ago and even tho they aren`t broken in yet, I can tell that they are special and I am thrilled with them. For their price, or any p... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source If querida doesn`t mind me buttin` in for a second, what`s the Dac ah soundstage like? | |
| EL34 Integrated I would also suggest looking into the Primaluna int.`s sold by Upscale Audio. The Prologue One is 35w/ch. using EL-34`s...the Prologue Two, 40w/ch., can also be used with the 34`s. Lots of great reviews and there may be a couple of used ones here ... | |
| concrete vs. wood listening room For instance, in my setup one speaker is positioned at the break of the L and so it sees no side wall at all. What I did was make some simple absorption treatments for the opposite side wall so that the other speaker almost sees no wall at all. Th... | |
| audio aero prima cdp... burn in. Mechans, I`m sorry to hear that. It`s a crap-shoot when buying used gear. That`s a chance that we take. If a seller knowingly sells a faulty item, without listing the problems, there should be strong reprisals. I would expect though that in some c... | |
| concrete vs. wood listening room Chazzbo, I have Hartley`s book and will go back and read the section on room treatments. It`s been quite a while since I`ve looked through his book, and in fact, forgot that I had it. Sheesh. Thanks for the reminder.Martykl, I too have two concret... | |
| audio aero prima cdp... burn in. Thanks Boa. As far as burn in, will unplugging the ic`s and just letting the cdp run 24/7 on repeat do the trick or does it need to pass a signal to be truly effective? |
