| Creek OBH-12-Upgraded Motorized Volume Pot? try asking at diyaudio | |
| 1000.00 to spend what would you buy? Creek A50 for ~$500 used.Marantz PM7200 is nice but probably less clear than the Creek.Also check out used Forte and Threshold stuff. If you like low powered tube stuff the Aleph 3 is said to be a very sweet 30wpc (solid state - class "A"). | |
| How can I learn how to fix equipment Memeboy, I trust you're not refering to body parts? | |
| Bringing the fun back into audio - cheap CD tweaks Should've added IMHO since maybe spending money is fun. | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics Nice system Shadorne. The ones I heard were active with a Naim pre and Naim CDP. They did not seem ruthlessly revealing although maybe my ears were less sensitive then. Naim is a pretty easy listen as well. All I know is they were the best rock sp... | |
| Is live reproduction the goal of audio? Thanks Jax2, there is some magic to this little system. Great sound, just not much of it.I should quit now before I get myself into trouble. Not that I will, mind you :-). | |
| Listening Fatique- componet or speaker issue. fostex is less fatiguing from what I've read. | |
| Is live reproduction the goal of audio? C5150 what is your system? What is your idea of a reference system. | |

| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics I know a guy with a similar setup. He has ATC active 100's which can play 120dB continuous. I've seen ATC active 50's for about $7k a few years ago. Maybe the active 20's??Forget the passive models. | |
| Listening Fatique- componet or speaker issue. Tim, I used to agree with you about material. But now decided bright is bright, and soft vs. hard materials will not change that IMHO.Although metal may add additional ringing and hardness, soft dome with rising response will still be bright. | |
| Is live reproduction the goal of audio? Lakefrontroad wrote "I am interested in how our community views what we do." Except for Jax2 who tries to inject a laxative into this constipated thread.Sociallite has many good insights, I wish I was so good at writing. The common goal here seems... | |
| Listening Fatique- componet or speaker issue. I agree with Gmood1. Your speaker's peak into the 5-10K area can (1) be irritating in its own right, (2) will accentuate harshness in your source or amp (NAD is low powered and could get harsh if pushed), (3) be aggravated by room reflections.Othe... | |
| is it sacrilege? I would suggest heavy brass - have you ever heard of / seen Totem Beaks? They actually improve the sound by reducing cabinet vibrations.It's a win-win situation. |
