| I need help putting together a budget system I get the joy of the active speakers approach but unless I am missing my engineering, multiple sources (say DAC and phono preamp) are going to be pretty unwieldy.A lot of nice integrateds out there with very respectable MM/MC sections which would ... | |
| I need help putting together a budget system sorry to hear about your lossApple Lossless is terrific and the only way to go if you are a Mac guy - nothing else makes the least bit of sense. If you are a PC guy you will probably want to check out FLAC as wellI personally would go with a Mac l... | |
| Sax 101... thnx all for your kind comments - as you "might" be able to tell sax is my passion =) | |
| Subwoofer cable vs Analogue cable Just another clever marketing scam - sorta. Actually this is a good applioation for a digital (SPDIF) cable - for instance the VH Audio Pulsar.Blue Jeans Cable explains the issue well on their site:...the subwoofer cable has the relatively easy jo... | |
| Sax 101... Kind of a very fun lifetime of work... But you are going to have to put some time into it to mean anything.One way I learned is to just surf the reviews in Amazon - one artist leads to another etc. Also some very good books on the subject:Jazz Sty... | |
| Sub-woofer connection Dude -run from the LFE out on the surround processor directly to your subwoofer in. If you have L&R inputs check the manual to see if they recommend using one or the other or if you will need to add a Y.While you have the manual open, check to... | |
| Fritzspeakers Have a set of the Fritz Carbon 7s here on audition. Great speaker - looking at selling my Merlin VSMs to pick up a few bux and replace them with these - actually end up with better bass!I have heard a number of his smaller models any of which woul... | |
| HT room screen sizing and recommendations please? Props to Jmcgrogan2 for providing you with a very useful tool.Here's some rule of thumb guidelines.Given a 10' high front wall, you need to allow at least 4' on the bottom (to clear heads) and a foot on the top (to avoid bounce off the ceiling). S... | |
| Good Country recordings Vince Gill put out a 4 CD set last year called These Days for which I believe he won a Grammy or AMA award. Great playing and top engineering.Emmylou and Mark Knopfler - All The Road Running - is amazing production - some will call this country, s... | |
| Sound proofing floor Kind of a two edge problem since the integrity of their ceiling can substantially affect the outcome... Had good luck with a suspended drywall ceiling and the blue jean batting - but that was from the ground floor looking up. The goal was isolate ... | |
| What is the BEST sound card to use with a MAC G5 DWR and 4est are both right. No sound card especially on a Mac. If you insist take a look at the pro audio offerings from Apogee and the likeIf you already have a DAC you like, what you will probably need is a USB to SPDIF box - Blue Circle and Ha... | |
| Tubes and light weight bass also see if you can back your speakers a bit more into the corners or against the wall - might get them to load up a bit that way | |
| Is it BAD to place CDP/DVP on top of RCVR? If you gots too - use feet or a shelf between them. For instance Vibrapods or Isoblocks and a maple shelf or a Symposium or Black Diamond or even glass or lucite. Then put something (depending on the surface) under the DVD player.I do like Lenkspk... | |
| good sounding cd's I assume that you are looking for material that is really layered, well placed, lots of black around each voice and instrument. In short great production.All The Road Running with Mark Knopfler and EmmyLou Harris Am waiting for the new Cowboy Junk... | |
| A question about front-ported speakers Sprink -sounds as if you know this but in the hopes of being helpful...sounds as though you are setting up a near-field monitoring situation. the generally recommended math is an equilateral triangle - meaning that the speakers are as far apart as... |
