| best recordings of 2001? The reissues RVG (Rudy Van Gelder) of artists such as Milt Jackson, Dexter Gordon, J.J. Johnson and Lee Morgan are excellent. I believe all mastered with tube gear.I know it's not jazz, but the Nickel Creek is maybe the recording of the year. Unbe... | |
| OPINIONS Best FULL RANGE used speaker for SS Totem floor standers. Believe the Sttaf falls in this price range, is dynamic, images very well and is overall quite musical. | |
| Tool to create professional IEC chassis cut-out... Slingshot, The alternative I've chosen is to select a powercable I like, drill the hole slightly larger and hardwire the sucker in. Best connection you can have and the only downside of course is not being able to quickly change out and compare fu... | |
| Speaker wire for Martin Logan reQuests? This is going to be a bright sounding combination. I would look for a high quality copper wire which will not be as bright as silver. Perhaps the Analysis Plus Oval 9 which is very accurate and musical. They show up used on this site. | |
| Speakers for Classical Music Classical music lovers tend to enjoy a British sound as a group. The Spendors and ATCs for example, have very nice voicing for strings and vocal. They tend not to play real loud nicely, but what they do produce is extremely musical.Also, I've fall... | |
| Suggestions for mini-system -- 300-400 Brian, This is easy. DMC Electronics offers on this site an NAD L-40 factory reconditioned unit for $360. I own one. Paired with some used Paradigm Atoms or something similar this will rock. Lovan offers some 24" stands found online for $55. The D... | |
| Integrated for Dad Must second the Audio Refinement recommendation. Very musical, strong current delivery and just plain well built. YBA has done their homework. | |
| How much money do you want to waste? And as we classically know, there is absolutely no aeronautical reason why bumble bees can fly....but they do. | |
| What's the best digital cable around 100 each? Viggen, I run the LAT powercords/interconnects and they make an excellent product. Not so well known, but I've run thema against more expensive and they do very well. Be happy they don't cost a fortune. | |
| Help me with the last item in my new system Might be able to find Analysis Plus used in an 8' increment for about $200. Audio Magic for the digital cable. | |
| Record Clamp for Thorens TT Whatever happend to the plastic German made spider thing costing $30? It worked great. | |
| Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14' The Maggies won't work. Period. Try the Coincident Triumph UHS. $1200 and you're in. I've owned many pairs of speakers to include several highend British brands and I've fallen in love with Coincident. Unknown giant killer. | |
| Speaker Mods? Would tend to agree with Milo. Leave the drivers alone. Look inside the cabinet for opportunities to upgrade. If electrolytics are used, replace with polypropylenes of equal value, improve wire internally and stuff corners with cord weather stripp... | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? Gunbunny, To quote the marketing people at Dodge, "The rules have changed." Spending lots was the rule. Now, some budget pieces have really caused havoc in the realm of big ticket items. I just picked up a pair of Axiom M3 Ti speakers for a second... | |
| Upgrading my NAD C340. One of the Antique Sound Labs in this price range would be excellent. |
