| If I just use a DAC, do I need a Pre-amp? Luminous Audio makes a passive preamp with a volume control that is not in-line with the signal. It works great, trouble free, and it does not change the sound. You can add inputs and outputs and selector switches as desired. | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? I'm trying out a single Syzygy 10" subwoofer, with a stereo system on a concrete slab and engineered red oak flooring. The room is not exactly rectangular, but it's basically 18' W X 28' L X 9' H. 1)The single sub sounds best when it is adjacent t... | |
| 12 years or 18 years? Second for Lagavulin. It makes you smarter, like listening to Mozart. | |
| Great country recording You like dobro?: How about the Knob Lick Upper Ten Thousand. | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp I had a STA200 for a while and enjoyed it, although there are many better choices, even for the price. I especially liked that it was a pure dual-mono design. If you like your STA200 that much I'd encourage you to chase down other dual-mono design... | |
| Speakers that can reveal orchestral instruments' positions I just changed to Emerald Physics EP3.8, with concentric mid/tweeters-- the orchestral spatial imaging is very, very good, side to side and in depth; I'm still working on best subwoofer placement for them. Played the EP3.8s with PASS XA25, McIntos... | |
| Bob Carver Integrated Amp In Tampa Carver had brochures of a new Carver Crimson 2180i Tube Amp--not clunky looking at all, but slightly retro. Don't be so sure about heat. For the 75wpc Crimson 275 with Carver's tube management system you can put your hands on top of the t... | |
| All the brands I don't like... How nice: a rare endorsement of Bose. | |
| Life is too short to buy someone else's favorite stereo gear You left off the rest of it "...unless it is also your favorite and you can buy it from someone for half the retail price." | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? A very interesting, and appealing discussion. I've never heard a subwoofer swarm demo--perhaps a demo in Florida in February (he said, hopefully)? Two questions please:1) From what I read here, it seems like multiple in-wall subwoofers would be a... | |
| Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound! Driving naked is normal in Santa Monica. | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is Innersprings=analog. So satisfying. | |
| Linkwitz Lab Loundpeaker baffle Silly boy. The midrange drivers in the Orions--where it matters--is mounted to a rear support and held in place by the speaker's magnet. The driver doesn't touch the front baffle. | |
| Is it safe to buy from Audiogon sellers? I've bought and sold on Audiogon, but not ebay or elsewhere. I've offered fair prices when selling and received good quality gear at fair prices when buying. I bought from dealer/resellers twice, and I was treated fairly once. I like Audiogon, and... | |
| Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button? LFD ribbon speaker cables are obviously better with LFD IntAmps than any other speaker cables I've tried. Likewise, LFD ribbons with Pass Amps. Not theory;reality. Other than that, I know nothing. So for your stuff, I'm happy if you're happy. |
