| Thoughts on a system upgrade. I would have to agree that money spent on acoustic treatments would be the most effective use of your funds--especially given you are fundamentally happy with your gear.Many of the manufacturers of acoustic treatments make products that are quite ... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Al is a shining example of how to positively impact people you have never met. You will be missed my online friend. May the Lord bless you and keep you as well as your family. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings One other critical point. How can some people think 95% of their recordings sound great and another 15%. I suspect individual variations in ones hearing and CNS processing of music is very different from one listener to the next. This may be a ... | |
| Problem with CD playing through... Lasers always take the blame. Check out this link for some very helpful info. Good luck!http://lampizator.eu/LAMPIZATOR/TRANSPORT/laser/Laserology.html | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) My primary speakers are Tekton DI's which have very respectable bass and good efficiency. Similar to your Cornwalls in that regard. I also have a pair of the the Hsu subs you are considering. I feel they would do a great job of filling in that ... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Like I said, I have great recordings of massed strings and ones that I will not listen to. So I don't think the problem is my CD player, amp, or other nasties on the grid. The primary determinate for violin, piano, or any other instrument is the... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks for the above pointers gentleman.I have been listening to my very short 17" IC's using 18g VH copper, single run on both legs, for the last day. Furutech 111g plugs with ProGold, set screw termination.Was skeptical at first but these reall... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings I think the quality of the recording has as much to do with this as anything. Most just do not get it right. Occasionally they do:Beethoven Overtures, Sir Collin Davis. A beautiful SACD recording on the Sony label, manufactured in Japan that I ... | |
| Want to setup basic home audio system Start with the speakers. You listen to a wide range of music. This will make it difficult on a tight budget. Might be better to start with decent monitors that get the midrange and treble right knowing you could always add a sub later as funds ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I certainly wouldn't challenge you guys--you have far more experience than I ever will. I have no doubt those little tabs heat up quickly and afford a good solder joint. My OCD kicks in however when solder is the primary conductor in this type o... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Going to give this a go. Looking at the KLE plugs, that little spade connector tab looks like the absolute worst design I have seen. How do you get a secure mechanical connection with that! You are relying on a bridge of solder as a connector. ... | |
| Basement listing room I had a small basement room around 13x15 with a drop ceiling. I sounded great! So you can do it.I would place polyethylene plastic against the concrete walls and use standard 2x4 studs. Fiberglass insulation. Then another vapor barrier. Then yo... | |
| Want to setup basic home audio system Agree that with that tight of a budget used is the way to go for everything. If you are patient, you can pick up gear in new condition for sometimes almost half off. A nice integrated like a Marantz or NAD and a pair of smaller monitors. As an ... | |
| Floorstanding speakers - $2-3K @giantsalami Small world. You bought my REL subs to pair with your DI monitors. Guess what speaker I just picked up for my second system--The KC II Pro's! Opted for paper version. I think the OP would like these. But in my room I absolutely n... | |
| Upgrade Question If you love the sound of the MF, don't think that newer is always better. With that said, I have been very happy with the sound of multiple Marantz spinners I have owned, most currently the Ruby. The sound is expansive, rich, and smooth while no... |
