| Cayin vs. Antique Sound Labs Buda-When I had a Cayin TA-30 I noticed exactly the same thing. It was a wonderful amp at low levels, but right around 10 o'clock things would start to go south. This wasn't too much of a problem for me since my speakers were only relatively ineff... | |
| best wife friendly monitor? My Onix Ref 1's in Birdseye Maple are absolutely gorgeous speakers. The only monitors I think look better would be the Sig 805's, which cost much much more. Also I like the Opera suggestion, and would probably add Totem as well.Gary | |
| Cary Silver Oaks speakers - anyone heard them yet? ...and man did they sound great. I'd love to find a more local dealer (upstate NY) so that I can have a proper audition. Gary | |
| any bookshelf match w/ tubes for $250 new or used Athenas will work nicely, IMO. They're my favorites in that price range. As for the Cayin, it's a great amp for what it is but you might consider the JVC RX-F10S. J&R has it for $250 now with free shipping, and IMO it's in an altogether differ... | |
| VPI HW-19 Jr. Upgrade John Zurket at positive-feedback.com recently reviewed my pandafeet sorbothane footers with his VPI 19 Jr. and raved about the results:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue13/pandafeet.htmI'm sure plenty of other products would work as well, but ... | |
| Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work Is it possible to use this without a vacuum machine?If so, are there any instructions around for doing so?thanksGary | |
| Speakers and Stands. What do you use between them? Sorbothane is ideal in my book. If it's done right, you can couple the speaker to the stand for low frequencies to get very tight bass, but isolate/damp the cabinet at higher frequencies (this is possible because the resonant frequency varies with... | |
| Best Monitor speaker - low volume level listening John,av123.com is running a special, you can get a pair of Ref 1's, normally priced at $1500, and their new tube integrated for $2k. These are amazing speakers, well worth looking into in my opinion (of course, you can't demo them in any retail sh... | |
| Isolating bookshelf speakers without stands? cones are going to couple the speakers to your desk, and they really won't do anything to fix your problem. likewise, herbie's footers have a pretty high resonant frequency (by design... they're intended to damp microharmonic vibrations) and they ... | |
| Sapphire Audio speakers anyone? I've never heard the ACI's, but I've heard great things about them. Another speaker that you might consider that's in a similar price range is the Onix Ref 1. I'm driving mine with a 30 Watt Cayin integrated tube amp, and while it won't make the n... | |
| Speaker Stands for B&W Matirx 803s i'm using granite surface plates under my Rocket 750's (with a viscoelastic pad between the carpet and granite, sorbothane between the granite and the speakers). the cost was pretty reasonable, the results are awesome, and i couldn't be happier. s... | |
| Rocket Loudspeakers by Onix? check out audioenvy.com to find out if anyone in your area has them and would be willing to let you audition them.i'd say, buy them without a second thought. i auditioned lots of speakers that were in my price range ($1500) and realized i wouldn't... |
