| $10 / foot speaker wire Here is a follow-up on my wire search:Brands tested, (all were 12 foot lengths, terminated with spades except Mapleshade has bare wire):12 gauge ZIP cord from Home Depot .31/ftCanare 13 gauge star quad .41/ftwww.markertek.comLuminous Audio Technol... | |
| Strangest Tweak? Bonding is not a good idea, hard to get the paper off the amp :-).Actually 24 lb bond paper impregnated with carbon and copper fibers blocks EMI buildup in the machine. White color reflects the heat back into the amp for a quicker warmup. Although... | |
| Recommendations for tube amp to replace Plinius Electrocompaniet is very tube like in the mids and high's but doesn't have much bass. | |
| Holy Grail of Audio Systems Audiophanatik, the key word in your post is "hobby". It's not just "purchase and forget about it" if it's a hobby. | |
| Strangest Tweak? I leave a piece of 11x17 paper atop my power amp when not in use. It keeps the dust from getting into the amp's vent holes and speeds up warmup when I turn it on.There is a better thread about strange audio habits but I couldn't find it. So I post... | |
| Optimal Speaker Placement The equilateral traingle placement method really works.I was listening to Sade Live and realized that it didn't sound like I was at a live event. Instead I was outside the building listening through the front door.My speakers were about 6 feet apa... | |
| Contact email or phone for Forsell , There is a Statement for sale right now on A-gon. Try contacting the dealer for more info. | |
| Which speaker is better I would consider Verity Parsifal monitors and Merlin TSM's as well. | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? I think I should explain my sarcasm about break-in. I've been demoing equipment at home. If I return something because I don't like it, the dealer will invariably tell me the component is not broken in yet. Or I haven't listened long enough. So I ... | |
| DH labs q-10? Audioquest Granite has good bass. 60% off now at Audio Advisor. LATinternational.com wire is same price as DH - may want to compare in home trial. | |
| Low Fi / Mid Fi / High Fi ? Axiom M22ti and Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 are arguably high end for around $300 but without bass. | |
| vienna acoustics haydn with denon avr3803??? I think Denon sounds sort of dead. A very good match would be Harman Kardon AVR receiver refurbed at www.harmanaudio.com. The silk tweeter should nicely mellow out the peaky HF of the H-K. | |
| Recommend speakers for a strange move Epos M15, Red Rose has a new $1,200 ribbon / carbon fiber speaker, B&W CDM 7nt. But your room may be too big for these.New Monitor Audio S series and B&W CM6 okay for H-T. | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? No, and with all due respect, the day I switch to "audiophile" (ie sound not music - chair squeaks, paper shuffling, amp humming, and someone coughing) stuff is the day I sell my system and go back to my mini system.Which by the way sounds almost ... | |
| Does full range guarantee bass? Rsbeck, try some Mackie HR 624's. These are active 2 ways, bass as you describe. I don't think a passive 2-way can match the tight, deep, bass of an active design. |
