| how to fix volume/balance on Tandberg 2080 I agree with the advice above. If that does not work or if you want to be sure it is not something more critical, call Conrad Johnson and ask for Tor Sivertson. Tor is the former president of Tanberg and should be able to give you some advice. Goo... | |
| How to adjust bias on superphon preamp Call Stan Warren at 541-344-3696 and have him update it. He designed it and knows how to ugrade and modify it. | |
| Good budget monitor match for Plinius 8200MkII Give the Meadowlark Vireo a listen. Very accurate and fast. They are not that placement sensitive and will surprise you. About $450 - 550 used. | |
| Best small monitor speaker 4 small room acoustics? I have always been cursed and blessed with small rooms. My current room is 12x16x8. I have gone through many speakers in 20+ years, but this past year I upgraded my system and listened to and lived with several speakers. I first borrowed a pair of... | |
| Stan Warren Amplifier Mods In a nutshell -- Stan reworks the circuitry and power supplies. He mainly does this to the Adcoms 5200, 5300 or 5400. These amps were originally designed by Nelson Pass but quality was compromised to meet retail price points. He corrects these thi... | |
| Speakers to match Audio Refinement Complete? I second the vote on the Meadowlarks. The new Swift is amazing and actually more efficient than the Ketrals. The B&W's may sound bright after a while, so listen to them a long time to be sure. | |
| Best sound at Stereophile show. Let me rephrase it. Forget trying to figure out what was best. What surprised you and why? Or, what did you hear that you didn't expect to? This is not analytical. It is about what you liked. | |
| Help identify/find this non-US spkr manufacturer? How about Cambridge Sound Works? | |
| Recommend speakers After hearing the new Meadowlark Swift (retail 995) at the NY Show last week, there is no contest. | |
| Best sound at Stereophile show. Let's twist the question. We always say what was best, which is subjective and possibly not even attainable. Instead, what surprised you the most and was something you could live with? I agree that the vonSchweikert sounded great, but how would it... | |
| Recommendations for satellite/hanging spkrs Meadowlark just introduced a new bi-polar wall hanging speaker that is amazing and very affordable. With their new cabinet making capabilities at the new factory, no decorator would reject these. | |
| best 50 watt tube amplifier? It really depends on your speakers and what type of music you listen to. But without any caveats, CJ MV 60, Lumly GL 50 and EAR 534. Preamp with make a difference also. | |
| 1000 budget for speakers and integrated - HELP The AR Complete is the way to go on the amp side. As stated, it may hurt the budget for speakers. You are on target with the Kestrels, but to make the budget work and still keep that Meadowlark magic, try the Vireos. The Vireo is perfect for the m... | |
| Best 2W Speaker under 1500 I highly recommend the Meadowlark Vireo. Meadowlark has never really promoted this speaker. They should. It is accurate, fast, musical and joy to listen to, especially with tubes. It has very good bass. Burn in time is about 100 hours. New around 1K. | |
| Need more bass response Your complaint and, shall we say, skepticism are well founded. I think you have all the right feedback, so let me try and simplify it. Rock recordings are typically mastered differently than jazz or classical. They tend to be compressed (remember ... |
