| No longer need 16' speaker cable pair- options? If you like the cable, I would leave it alone and route the excess cable appropriately. It's not that much excess. IMO, a reterminated 6' pair of cables would not have much value, especially if you deduct the cost of retermination. If you neede... | |
| Guidance on Speaker Wire Whenever someone has very long runs, I always recommend they first try Blue Jeans 10 gauge and they may get lucky. With one set of speakers, I found BJs to work wonderfully until I tried them on another speaker, which sounded like a tin cup on a ... | |
| I'm Goin' Home Now that I rethink this in the cold light of day and sobriety, TYA was far from my favorite band and I was never overly interested in their music compared to many other artists at that time. That said, their performance at Woodstock was one of the... | |
| I'm Goin' Home @tooblue I don’t think there’s anyone who wouldn’t agree with the fact that TYA’s performance was nothing less than magnificent. It’s just that nobody ever seems to bring them up on their own. Then again, Woodstock had Hendrix, Sly, Santana, Creed... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? @ozzy62 It is indeed sad, but I'm sure we all do it to some degree. Mark Levinson talked about this years ago. The system dictates what we listen to. I just can't listen to "demo" music anymore, i.e., Krall, Patricia Barber, etc. It's not that t... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Of course you could just play songs that sound good on your system. Nahh - nobody would ever do that. | |
| Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite Actually, I like the Glen Gould Zenph re-performance of the 1955 version. Zenph did such a great job, it a shame they went under. It's interesting comparing Gould to the Ito Ema version. Very different approaches to the same piece. | |
| No Improvement With Transparent Reference RCA Interconnects For Naim NDX 2 Streamer If I were you, I would just explain that the cables did not result in the improvement to your ears and work with the dealer to arrive at a solution. Remember that your goal is not a refund, per-se - It is to achieve an improvement in sound qualit... | |
| New Turntable Direction If you like your table, I would keep it, maybe invest in a Keel, which is supposed to bring large improvements and just go with a new set of springs and a general tuneup. There is also that new lower-priced Keel that Linn makes. Or just get the ... | |
| No Improvement With Transparent Reference RCA Interconnects For Naim NDX 2 Streamer A dealer should be assisting you in achieving better sound, That's what they're supposed to be there for. I would talk to your dealer about your issues and they should help you. A customer that spends 3k+ on interconnects is a valuable commodit... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? The Ekos also makes a big difference. I first bought my Linn with a Rega arm, I think the 600, but when I upgraded to a used Ekos, the sound improved to a great degree. I think $2400 is a good deal if the table is in good shape. I can't say if ... | |
| Celestion 100 versus Yorkville YSM 1 Studio Monitors made in Canada Yorkville always made good pro stuff. I had a pair of their powered subs and they were amazing. I have always maintained that many people who prefer certain types of music would be better off with high quality pro sound speakers as opposed to "hi... | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? I had a 205 for about a year and I found that putting a #3 Vibrapod under each foot really improved the sound. I am not one to put aftermarket feet under everything out of habit, but I had the Vibrapods sitting around and thought I would try it. ... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? If money is not an issue, buy it and let your Linn guy set it up in your house for you. This will probably cost you a couple hundred for the setup, and you might need some new springs, grommets and a belt, which are not overly expensive, BTW. I... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? If you can't correct the issue with EQ, the speakers are just not your taste or don't work with your room. This is a common problem when you buy off the web without audition. Hopefully you can return them. If you have to pay shipping and a resto... |
