| Help with Turntable selection Can't say I know enough (or read) about Marantz but Nottingham if you might want a second arm for cheap.I thought about it but with VPI you can get a second wand.Overall it would be better to get a Scout,I have Aries /12.5 and am thinking of a sma... | |
| B&W 804s vs Usher Dance Mini-One More value in Usher per dolar as well.if your room could use them 803 would be different story but I'd agree Usher.Vincent for touch o' tubes.Don't cheap out on strands or at least look for mass,rigidity,and decoupling.I like Sound Anchors even fo... | |
| Bryston 4Bsst2 or 7Bsst2 and Anthony Gallo 3.1 I just thought that maybe the Parasound pre and JC-1 mono's would lite your wick.But surprised that you need that kind of power on tap.Friend uses 4B ST for Maggie 3.6 and I think they suck it down much harder than Gallo's.Maybe Spectron is right ... | |
| Computer system Trying to wrap my head around it too.First large hard drive.You can get 1 to 1.5 TB for $70-$100 and get second to back it up.Then decide on how good you want sound.You can use "lossless" compression and not hear difference and save 40% or more of... | |
| B&W 803 matrix ...too big for my room?? 12x11x8 Their is a pair of CM4's which would not overload the room,sound much better though with less bass,and be able to move in for near field as Elizabeth suggests doing is fun.Easier to place.They are $750 OBO.There is a pair of 602's which bass will ... | |
| B&W 803 matrix ...too big for my room?? 12x11x8 You don't need a whole lot of room behind them though the more you can get the better.I sold B&W during transition from Matrix to Nautilus.I liked the 805M and 802M(which I owned) and 801M.Can't say I dug the 803M.My boss had them and like the... | |
| Passively Bi-amping/Kreelon lows& what on mid/hi?? You could use anything on top maybe tubes.Have done it with my KSA 300S.But as a I was telling my buddy whom I got a Byrston 4B ST for to power and who had the little passive x-over made by Maggie with some mid fi Denon's and MGII's we crapped the... | |
| Reference 3A choices? They all seem to be pretty efficient and very nice without crossovers.L'Integral were with Corian baffle(very thick so must be nice non resonant front) which were very compact for floor standers.Hear the DeCapos and they are great but for long hau... | |
| FLAC encoding questions Guess putting some time into it I found I could use freeware MP3tagger to change titles and it add's album info into matadata once you covert it.Disconcerting that you can't see it under the track title.But once put into VLC it displays album name... | |
| Seperate Sub-Woofers Posts For Music or HT? You want a fast sub preferably multi driver for accurate pitch.Magnepan say's if your going to use one don't go over 6" on each driver single or multiple.REL is one or MJ Acoustics from a group of former REL employee's who went off on their own.An... | |
| best speakers for wyred 4sound sti- 500 Never understand when folsk don't get the hook in them for a speaker and then pick and amp that compliments them.Depends on if you like the "dry" sound of Class D.You didn't mention price but you have a good amp that was a value for watts per $$$.... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. I am a jazz listener who keeps his palette clean with everything else 10% of time.But I would have to say that mesmerizing and therefore unusual would go to Beth Orton.So many fine voices to choose from but her music and voice combine to be almost... | |
| FLAC encoding questions Yeah I am new to this.But it confuses me because I was wrong about what I had said before as the level 5 quality was also 245 MB so if they are same size then why different quality levels and one assumes amount of data being encoded.Have heard peo... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Been giving Sunny Sumter another spin as I found her first CD and then went back to her Larry Willis produced Mappleshade.Chazz | |
| Why are server setups so costly relative to CDP's? if you take out the computer cost I thin it's actually cheaper.You can get a $3K system that will rival a $20K Lin Or Meridian CDP.But if you want a Sooloos and to spend you can.And when you look at what you can do with it functionally you get mor... |
