| What to do in my situation... Don't buy anything until you do some work looking into your room. You say you want some more bottom end and your comment that you may be running out of power to me often says that the bass is out of control and loose/muddy/undefined (pick your ter... | |
| Does Aesthetix calypso match with Krell 200s pow? I ran a Calypso with a Krell FPB 300-C. Great combination. Only get the Calypso if you are willing to roll some tubes - that is what makes it so magical. The stock tubes are installed to simply allow people to break it in before putting "real" tub... | |
| ML390S remote MISSING Buy a learning remote and if you can't find the codes on line, just send it to somebody who has a 390s for them to program for you. | |
| Pass X150.5 vs. X250.5 I owned the 150.5 in the past and have spent a fair amount of time listening to their amps. I currently own an Aleph for a specific pair of speakers in which it matches well (60/90 watts 8/4 ohm, all class A). IMO, buying a/any Pass Labs amp shoul... | |
| Gemme Tanto V2- any thoughts? Ryder, I own W/P 5.1s. I own both speakers (W/Ps and Katana to this day). Personally, I like the 5.1s better than the 6s (but recognize this is just my personal preference - not a statement that they are in fact better). I am not as much of a fan ... | |
| Krell Evolution or Pass XA.5 series Krellfan said: "with ceramic drivers the Pass might just add some musicality."I think this is in general a good statement. Overall, I too prefer the Krell based on past and present ownership of the two brands. Those 160.5's are great amps and deli... | |
| MUSIC SERVER - HOW DO YOU............ As to cables, and this is what I have read and researched (but there are definately two+ families of thought). I actually prefer the toslink approach as it keeps the transfer of data as a light form. The RCA/SPDIF is an electronic signal and (from... | |
| Asymmetrical Room Treatment I think Kevin has some very good answers, though I am not sure if the OP can take advantage of all of them due to his restrictions in renting.My question is regarding a 4" diameter (I am assuming it round) or is it a panel type? If its round, does... | |
| MUSIC SERVER - HOW DO YOU............ I really like the squeezebox Duet or the new version I think is the Touch. It is really easy to set-up, operate and enjoy. It benefits from going into a DAC vs. using its internal DAC. It is inexpensive and allows for streaming wirelessly or wired... | |
| Asymmetrical Room Treatment Chisar, while the foam based devices/absorbers are not as "good", assuming they have a shaped face, you may find the following somewhat helpful for the wall behind you.Glue a strip of very thin plywood (even just a veneer board) to the top of the ... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Is it better to be poor in the US or "middle class" in India, China, Vietnam, Mexico, slew of African countries, etc. . .? In most cases, the poor in the USA still live a more comfortable life than the middle class in many of these alternatives. E... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? To say trickle down economics hasn't worked in the US is a bit naive. The perfect example that it has worked is by looking at the poor in our country - those that get by and plan to live off the government. These, the poorest of the poor in our wo... | |
| Need a little help with Squeezebox Duet. TJ, I find this happens rarely, but sometimes with my Squeezebox Duet. To start off, I would suggest going to their own forum page/their website for more responses.When I find this happening I have taken two approaches to address it with success:#... | |
| Fan in Audio Research tube pre-amp There is a lot of fans of all of these preamps, and yes, some of these fans are very vocal about their love of them! Does that make them loud? I don't know, but I see some of them typing in all caps - which I think is the equivalent of shouting ; ... | |
| Uncommonly long RCA IC cables? While I am not recommending any one over another, this is really what the networked (those little boxes) on the cables are supposed to help with. Transparent for example, where the networks (from what I understand) address this as though your 25-3... |
