| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Subaruguru what amp/CDP/cable combo? Many comments about B&W being bright but that can have a lot to do with other components, room, or music.Triangles aren't bright? Paradigms aren't bright? Von Schweikerts aren't bright? Thiels aren't bright... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Dedicated circuits for cleaner power are a farce, in my opinion. Here is why I think so.My living room light comes on with the timer tonight. The light bulb blows instantaneously while I'm listening to the stereo and my speakers go "phlam!" Not po... | |
| Will t-spades from AP oval 12's fit ? I think you need 1/2" spades. I used some 3/8 and bent them open. There are some 1/2" ring terminals but I couldn't find any 1/2" spades.I had some DH Labs wire where the dealer put on large gold plated spades. They had two widths on the same spad... | |
| Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers? I agree Gregm and Micheal. This may be what Sean experienced with the Bedini. Also CD liquid treatments should last a year or more. Not 15 minutes. | |
| Budget CD / DVD or D/A solution Marantz DR-6050 is $350 or so. Should be up there with the best (IMHO)search for marantz 6050 | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Aball, what was you pre / amp / and CDP?So what's better than N803 Bigkidz? I'm still searching. Only ATC so far. But if you're into tubes the new Coincident Victory really kicks butt. Or maybe Von Schweikert DB100 (haven't heard them) | |
| Bright room, help Steve, I think separates are a waste of money. A top notch tweaked CDP should beat a dual box setup. But they are always many ways to attack a problem and achieve the same results. | |
| B&W VS Dynaudio ......... I would first suggest the changing amp as some other people suggest. I think (my opinion - but changes regularly) B&W are more revealing of amplification than they are of themselves.Krell is great with B&W but maybe lacks the interest fact... | |
| Upgrade suggestions needed Goodwin's High End sells Karma, Martin Logan, Audio Physics, Dunlavy. They are outside of Boston. Good store, they treated me real well. | |
| The return of "Bubble Man" Why not stack 2) 5/8" bubble wraps to get 1 1/4" thick "double bubble"? Bubbliscious! | |
| Why bi-wiring is bad That's what I'm initially finding Viggen. With the emphasis on ADEQUATE jumper. | |
| Speakers that are matched well with Krell Judit, I would try Analysis Plus oval 9 for single wiring. Or Oval 12 on bottom / Oval 14 on top if you bi-wire. This is what I plan on auditioning. There may be better out there but it will cost a lot more. | |
| How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage Two words: point source. From my listening experiences, the closer a driver comes to initiating sound from a point source, the better the imaging. The more the speakers will disappear.The second major issue is cabinet size/ difraction/ resonance. ... | |
| Why "splay" walls 4 custom listening room design? Wooterb, have you look into getting CARA release 2.1. This is supposed to be the best computer analysis software available and should give you some answers before start building. It costs about $50.00. | |
| Amp help for Paradigm ref 100 before I go insane Can't say on the exact amps but in general Rotel is smooth in the highs and has a full sound. B&K did not seem to be up to the sound quality on Rotel in general.I would still be worried about the Rotel being too bright even with the new versio... |
