| Near Field listening Concerning studio monitors - I got a laugh out of Lrsky's comments about studio monitors not being that good. I recall many engineers telling me that they liked the JBL 4311s because they sounded so bad that once you got the music sounding good on... | |
| Gruv Glide I started using GG as I had a horrible static electricity issue with LOUD discharge pops. It is definitely good for eliminating the static charge and the resultant dust collection. I first clean with an RCM and then treat with GG. It does deposit ... | |
| Getting Into Analog-Vinyl For The First Time...... I would go for the 3/24 with a simple phono stage such as the Project Tube Box. It will keep you satisfied at a modest cost and then bring good resale after a year or two when you figure out what you really want. The Scouts are fine, but I think t... | |
| It's the Sony XA5400ES the best CDP under 4k IMO, the Doge6 is far superior to the Sony on CD playback. I've owned them both, so I feel I have a valid point of reference. The Doge6 has a much more expansive soundstage and depth, and portrays acoustic instruments more realistically. Personall... | |
| AMR LS-77 full range monitors Borg - as a long-time fan of standmounts, I can tell you that the stand is absolutely crucial to the sound of the speaker, especially the bass response. Don't even think about evaluating them when haphazardly placed on various shelves in your home... | |
| Would adding a Dac improve the sound for my setup? After looking at your system and seeing your goals, (clarity and soundstage)my advice is to forget the dac, scrap the PS power conditioner and pick up a good power conditioner, such as an Audience AR6, or the 6T if you can stretch. Lower noise flo... | |
| Detaching Guarneri Homage columns from marble base Perhaps the previous owner used some Blu Tak, which can become quite tenacious over time. The preferred method is to "twist" the speakers off the stands rather than pull them up. Good luck. | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? 02-11-11: Atmasphere wrote:Audiofeil's comment about OTLs and ZUs is incorrect. There don't seem to be any OTLs that will not drive the 6 ohm ZUs quite well.No good deed goes unpunished. | |

| Fritz Carbon 7's vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE Downsize? The Carbon 7s are like $1700. How much would you be pocketing if you sold your Special 25s? Not enough to change a speaker that you like, I would think. Sounds like you just want something new. Nothing wrong with that. | |
| Sibilance issues with vinyl rig I would try to engage the services of a good tt setup person to help you through these issues. BTW, a lot of records just sound like crap, so it may not be your tt or setup. An experienced setup person can sort this out for you. I think that if so... | |
| The Best Audiophile Earphones headphones and Amp One thing you should consider is whether you require sealed phones or not. Many phones, such as Grado, are "open" and you can hear every sound in the room while you're listening. The makers of such designs feel that this gives the best sound, but ... | |
| Replace wall wart to Simaudio LP3 I just said it doesn't sound like fun to ME. Everyone should enjoy their audio system in their own way. Some like to listen to music and some like to futz around with gear. Makes no difference to me as long as I don't have to pay for it. Enjoy you... | |
| Replace wall wart to Simaudio LP3 Just picking up a brand new phono stage and immediately thinking about replacing the power supply doesn't sound like much fun to me. | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Vinyl absolutely requires more of a commitment than digital, but many feel it's worth it. Yes, there will always be some noise somewhere on the records, but if you're buying new vinyl, it should be minimal and outweighed by the better sound - assu... |
