| Are active speakers the best upgrade With regard to Lthkeeper's point, Paradigm had nice active speakers now discontinued. They are very good at marketing and my understanding is that they just could not sell them. People will not accept that package. Anyone else heard anything on wh... | |
| best diy or used somewhat small speaker 1200 I agree with Sean above you might want to take a look at the May issue of AudioXpress. Kit is $1550 at Madisound. Or you can take a look at "AVinci One" at $1200 at www.acoustic-reality.com/portal.asp. Their site is not the easiest to navigate. Da... | |
| Thought Dr. John's cd 'Afterglow' is terriffic. If you like Duke Ellington (or maybe even if you don't) Dr. John's "Duke Elegant" is very good.I remain, | |
| Great SET output and Power transformers Sorry, that was not what I meant. I meant that the site I gave you was for what some folk consider an excellent transformer but it is not a Tamura transformer. Your post seemed to inquire about very good transformers or Tamura. My only experience ... | |
| Great SET output and Power transformers Try MagneQuest.com for a nice transformer. (Not Tamura) | |
| Any scientific data on cable burn-in? One point in Justacoder's article that i was not aware of is that the "experts" agree that it is the dialectric and not the conductor that is broken in. The dielectric of choice?---Teflon. I have always liked teflon capacitors and also wire but fo... | |
| North Creek speakers??? BWill :I have heard the rhythm, like it very much, and consider it a very good buy. Just read your "How much to spend on speakers" post (I agree with you) and in one post there I suggested the Rhythm to the poster. I respect George Short the owner... | |
| Tube Amp Books Take a look at the books for sale at www.audioxpress. They have most of the books available.They also have a "classroom series" of very good articles online for free. These are old articles but still very good ones. www.audioxpress.com/resource/au... | |

| Have you heard a great listening room? Hi Lakefront:I've heard a few and unfortunately it's not mine at the moment. I thought I would throw out one short thought.The idea of an "ideal room" seems a little problematic to me. Sound includes direct sound and sound due to resonances, rever... | |
| built-in Xover during active bi-amping. Hi Mar:I agree with Rich that you have to know what's going on but you do NOT have to be a mod superstar ala D'Agostino or something to bi-amp your system. Like Rich, typically your low pass passive filter remains.I'm not certain what system Greg ... | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? If you ask me it's a tie between Janet Reno and Richard Nixon. Sincerely, I remain | |
