| Too much bass even in large room...? highend has the right idea but i wouldn't necessarily follow the "5-foot rule." check out george cardas' site for a great article on "room setup." BTW, george's webpage is a little like his bennotonesque ads; you'll find what your looking for unde... | |
| home theater decorating tips for acoustic treatment try www.tubetrap.com (ASC). I can't recommend these products too highly. dollar-for-dollar, they're the best investment you can make to improve the quality of sound in your listening enviroment.. BTW, as i recall, the websit... | |
| Cello, Rowland, Pass, OR Accuphase? i have eidolons and run them from the jrdg8, using accuphase products for source and electronics. i've listened to them on numerous amps at audio dealers and ces. they sound great on accuphase, but need the bigger models than a50's to match the jr... | |
| Best Digital Front End Period! if your budget is really large, check out the Boulder 2020 advance dac, which sounds its very best mated with the Boulder 2010 preamp. you'll need a transport, of course. i'd recommend the Forsell or Burmester if you want cd only; if you want sacd... | |
| Graham or the Frog: which is crucial? sgh, where do you live? if you don't have a graham dealer in your area, email me and i'll give you someone to call. i agree with musikdok that the arm's most important, though you won't fully appreciate the many attibutes of the graham without a c... | |
| Maximum cable length why is it that you need a long run of cable between a preamp and amp? i assume you have opted for shorter speaker cables in lieu of longer interconnects; if so, that's a wise choice. i use a 9 meter run of balanced cardas neutral reference between... | |
| Best Woodstock recordings. i have the mofi box. with the exception of the live announcements ("watch out for bad acid") and some of 10 years after, "i'm comin' home" it mostly sucks, as do all of the other "official" and bootlegs i've ever heard. guess ya hadda be there; i ... | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. good topic, but i hope we can get more obscure stuff (like "dirt track date"- gotta get that one). Here's an eclectic sampling of my faves: kraftwerk: "numbers", track 3 from "computer world" stravinsky: "histoire du soldat" chesky cd122- the whol... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music something i found with the help of npr (all things considered): mia doi todd, la vie en rose, from the cd "the unaccompanied voice" ; secretly canadian (ain't that a great name for an indiana indy label?). this whole disc is worth listening to, th... | |
| transport dying? if you have boat, you might use it as an anchor. no boat? it'll hold down plenty of paper. | |
| Speakers with Rotel amp just about anything from radio shack. | |
| integrated amps accuphase. several models, depending on your budget. | |
| Please recommend some good music DVDs!! face it, there are none. you're into the wrong medium. you want movies? buy movies. you want sound? buy a decent 2ch cd player/processor and keep it out of your video chain. you can try 24/96 advd, but i'm afraid that's a short-lived "solution." | |
| Rowland 7 monoblocks sure, the levinson sounds better if you're into thin, dry, lifeless sound. if you prefer "tube-like" liquidity, balls-to-the-wall power, albeit with a bit of "darkness," and superior bass control, go for the JRDG. recognize, in either case, that y... | |
| Revel VS Avalon joecoherent (ironic username) sounds like the kinda guy you'd not wanna bring along to a listening session (or any other social ocassion for that matter). you're rude and lewd, joe, so nobody cares about yout opinions. on any subject i own eidolon... |
