| Experienced audiophiles best speaker Thanks for posting that link. I didn't think the show was going to be as hugely successful as it was. I had a lot of fun there. My top 3 rooms:1. DeHavilland: Kara took advantage of a diagonal set-up and analog tape playback to create an exception... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? "Clio, we have to at least know the price level of the speakers?"Why? | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? Clio9, if he does, and if he stays with it for even six months, then he'll be the first in these threads to have done so as far as I can tell.I have faith in him :) BTW, having owned a Technics SL-1200, I don't believe one can get a satisfying, lo... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? I was interested in finding out if it was possible to do vinyl with a budget that was within reason compared to my existing system. It sounds like it could be.I've also noticed that I'm at a level of audio that is essentially picking up scraps fro... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? Why would the OP necessarily get on an escalator to higher and higher expenditures?I get the whole upgrade bug among us. In my case I'm always looking for my analog equipment to better my digital. So obviously I've been on the escalator. I also ag... | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker As a long time Spendor user (3/1, 7/1, 1/2e) I took the opportunity to give the Harbeth's a listen before I moved on from Spendor. Yes they are warmer, especially in the bottom end, but I think I understand what Pani is alluding to. There is defin... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? The general cost estimate seems to be $2,000+ for great quality sound. I'm enjoying learning about vinyl and what it takes to really get it right. I simply can't afford to start down that never ending path...No it's not if you do thorough due dili... | |
| STUPIDLY high resolution pure silver interconnects The point on solder and surface area is well taken. However, would you hear the difference and if so how much difference would you hear? Solderless plugs exist, but the only one that comes to mind now are made by Furutech. I don't think they are s... | |

| Resolution Audio Cantata I had a chance to hear it this weekend at the Bay Area Audio Show put on by Dagogo. I found it to be a very good unit and enjoyed listening to it The set up included a pair of Gradient 1.5 speakers (other than Audio Physics, I have never heard a p... | |
| Speaker isolation or absorbtion - what is best? Save some money. Try the Herbies products designed for speakers. 90 day trial period to boot so no risk. I use Adona platforms under my speakers, granite side face down. Works well for me on top of carpet. | |
| I2S Cable Careful with Revelation Audio Labs. Search the archives here and on Audio Asylum before you purchase anything from them.That being said they made an I2S cable for me for my North Star combo. I think the challenge here is the different connectors b... | |
| Speakers suggestions for my setup and room please I used Dukes' speakers in my room in a diagonal set-up at one point. Worked out very well. Here is some more information on room acoustics and speaker placement. If you scroll through the article you will see a discussion on the diagonal set up an... | |
| what to do with my cat on my speaker grills Train your cat to obey respect speakers. It's not as hard as you might think. Out of all the suggestions the spray bottle of water worked for me. Only had to do it a couple times. After that my cat lost interest except for listening purposes:http:... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? I agree with Audiofeil. None of my NAK decks stand up to my current vinyl set up. Not that they sound bad, but vinyl is clearly superior. Now my Otari MX-5050 reel is another story using 15ips tapes. |
