| Ugliest speaker ever? JBL Paragon | |
| Recommended CD of " Smooth Jazz " Some of the 'Jazz for a Stormy Weekend' type of series are actually very credible artists such as Zoot Sims, Ben Webster, Blue Mitchell. The people compiling these series have simply sifted through material to present more palatable jazz to the un... | |
| Good Audio System for Living Room The Linn Classik offers compact quality, is very good sounding AND has a high WAF as it is one box that does all while not cluttering up the room. Used with tuner model can be found for around $1100. Axiom M3Ti (audioshop.on.ca)in black are quite ... | |
| Replacing internal wiring. I've moddified several pair of speakers simply by matching component values with upgraded polypropylenes and using mostly Kimber VS wire as it's decent, not too expensive and can be broken apart from the braid to fit into small solder holes. | |
| Best Outdoor Speakers B&W Rock Solids are built for this purpose and sound very respectable for the bucks. | |
| do you need to tweak a tape deck??? I always had my Naks (5 in total) internally tweaked for Maxell UDXL II by a tech and that seemed to make the most difference. Sound floor dropped, dynamics went up as I could run very hot and avoid distortion and the phasing just seemed to be dea... | |
| Opinions on Rega Amps and Speakers I've owned and/or listened to several Rega integrateds and fnd them to be very musical. Not the last word in detail, dynamics or imaging, but very respectable for the money. The speakers I find to be something otherwise. I would say no to them. Un... | |
| System for Yacht Linn Classik with Rogers LS3/5As (all used) will come in under 2K and be magnificent. The current smallest Spendor will also work and be a bit more dynamic. | |
| Need help on speaker choice The original Martin Logan CLS (before they beefed up the panel to handle more wattage) is still generally considered to be a reference against many should be compared. Ocassionally found used for under $2000. They really are wonderful. | |
| Methods for transfer of albums to CD I've gone a completely different direction with my Philips CDR 880 which of course is stand alone. Results are very good and you simply integrate it into your system without having you turntable hanging around the computer. | |
| Cables by LAT International I can only speak for the power cords and interconnects which are both very good. The English press has been far more interested and positive about their products than the American press. I believe people are actually turned away from the product s... | |
| Standing waves Make them sit down. | |
| Pick your favorite, and tell me why... Illinois Jacquet "Birthday Party" | |
| Best AM antenna? Also Best AM Tuner www.ccrane.com lists some AM antennae which look well designed and built. I own their Reflect FM and it runs against my Fanfare whip nicely. | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? Gallo Micros will work, use the small O-rings and set them on top of something. The powered subwoofer is great and you can purchase now or later the center one and rear ones that would wall mount. Actually, she might allow the flower stands that a... |
