| Anyone Know Anything On McIntosh XRT25 Speakers I think you're in a position that many have been in since the growth of internet retailing and A'gon. You're contemplating a significant purchase without an audition, which is something many of us have done I'm sure. You know what the answer to th... | |
| Linn Ikemi owners If you are concerned about it, you can always have Linn check it for you. The only thing is, Linn has informed me that Linn repairs must be handled through Linn dealers, which may be kind of tricky if you didn't buy from a Linn Dealer. Of course, ... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help What do you mean by - the Thule is having "trouble" driving the speakers? Last time I saw them at THE show, Vincent was using an Ayre integrated and CD and the power was adequate. Maybe you're just driving those small drivers past their capability? | |
| Does anybody smell smoke? Rub it down with cat urine. That will definitely get rid of the smoke smell. Hope this helps. | |
| MHZS CD player Yes, Lampizator - it was an interesting article, as after he tore apart the company for the misleading info, which was justified, he described the sound as "10 out of 10 for people who don't know better". Despite the left-handed nature of the comp... | |
| MHZS CD player Don't take this as rude, but - why do you care? It's a Chinese-made CD player. Why do you need to know the specific source? If you really need to know, I guess Pacific Valve can tell you. I haven't heard the MHZS players, but they are highly revie... | |
| Best power conditioning under 400 bucks No - the wiremold strip does not offer isolation between the outlets, but I wouldn't worry about it. Just worry about the sound. If it sounds great, do you really care? If you love the AR1p and demand the additional isolation, you can sell it for ... | |
| Stand Recommendation Fritz makes great stuff. Don't skimp on the stands. They act as part of the speaker and are instrumental in obtaining a good sound. IMO, find a pair of the 4-post Target MR stands and be done with it so you can really enjoy your new speakers. | |
| Linn LP 12 Honesty is important, but so is skill. | |
| Best power conditioning under 400 bucks Plug a $50 Wiremold strip into an AR1p and enjoy. Amazingly good. I'm now using an AR6 and, while I haven't compared the two systems head to head, my aural memory tells me the AR1p/wiremold didn't give up much to the AR6. | |
| After some upgrades, where is the weak link How about a good record player? That will give you something to occupy your spare time. I have no problem with CDs, but I think anyone looking for audio satisfaction should also consider vinyl to compliment their CD collection. You may realize tha... | |
| Linn LP 12 The Linn is purchased piece by piece - the plinth, the baseboard, the power supply, the arm. Unless you know how to set them up, I would strongly advise you have secured the services of someone who knows how. People with the requisite skill are no... | |
| Monitors on Short Stands Here's the address for the stands. I don't think A'gon permits links, so you'll have to cut and paste.http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/audioproducts/bedrock.php | |
| Monitors on Short Stands Mapleshade makes a stand like you describe - called the "Bedrock". The low stance increases the bass response, but the speaker is suspended off the platform by brass fitting and a large cone in front so the mids and treble are less muddied than if... | |
| CD Mats -- do they work? Are they dangerous? I'm not sure they're all voodoo. There are several companies - Esoteric, Electrocompaniet and maybe others, who feel that clamping the full surface of the disc is a better way to go than just in the center. So, from a mechanical standpoint, the CD... |
