| Speaker Wire. Hokum or Truth? I was a disbeliever in the capabilities of speaker wire for the longest time, ever since Monster came on the scene with their cables. I had a friend tell me 20 years ago what he paid for cable and I told him he was nuts. Since then I have heard gr... | |
| Audio Room Size ??? E, thanks for the input. A telepost is a telescoping column used between the basement floor (with a foundation pad underneath) and a support beam above. In this case the beam is under the main interior support wall on the floor above. Kind of iron... | |
| Audio Room Size ??? Thanks for the input guys. The ceiling would be around 7'4" after finishing. Unfortunately there is also ducting running parallel to the beam that will have to be "taken care of" but on the whole I guess it's a better situation than a lot of other... | |
| Best amp for studio 100v3, Rotel , Anthem or other Try a Sonic Frontiers Line 1. Can be found used here on Agon from time to time. I'm happy with mine. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line1 SE upgrade? Thanks for the responses folks. Gsselling, I'm interested to hear your opinion with your Mullards in. I contacted Anthem/Paradigm a while back and they said they would provide the upgrade until they ran out of stock to do so. They also had it disc... | |
| What tubes are being used with Sonic Frontiers L1 Your best bet is to put the better tubes in the back as they affect 85% of the sound by accounts that I've heard. I have 4 NOS Russian mil-spec tubes in the front four and a pair of early 70's Siemens E88CC's in the rear. Granted my CDP (Musical F... | |
| Audiophile 2 channel Receiver? Perhaps an Anthem TLP1 would fit your needs. It's a two channel pre with good remote, tuner, decent sound, and inexpensive. Most reviews indicate that it performs well ahead of it's cost. Pair this with an amp of your choice and you may find what ... | |
| Musical Fidelity a3 vs 3.2 and cd-pre cd players I have the A3 CD and find it lacks a little sparkle and isn't as firm on the bottom end as I'd like but is otherwise a decent player. The A3.2 uses better DAC's and is said to be a much better player although I haven't heard this for myself. I bel... | |
| Anthem MCA 2 Power Cable ? I have the MCA 20 which has only hot and neutral, no ground pin. I use a Virtual Dynamics Audition PC. So, no, it doesn't matter if you use a two contact cable or three contact cable. The ground simply remains unused. | |
| Something wrong with the Studio 100 v.2? I'll add my 2ยข and agree with my fellow posters who mention the better upstream electronics. I also had a problem with bass boominess that was cured with positioning. Stage depth is actually very good with mine, no disappointment there. I currentl... | |

| PreAmp advice needed -- Anthem AVM-2 vs AVM-20? I believe the AVM-20 uses better DAC's internally than the AVM-2 did. If you check out Antem's web site you can find a number of reviews on both pre's. | |
| Best amp for studio 100v3, Rotel , Anthem or other I have the MCA 20 on my 100v2's and it works well. When I get more coin a few years from now I think I might go to monoblocks or at least a very good stereo amp. But in the meantime - pretty decent. | |
| Paradigm Studio 100's: Version 2 vs. Version 3 But the new version has three woofers with a total surface area of 115.4 sq. inches vs. the v2's area of 100.5 sq. inches. I've just checked an old brochure and the v2 low frequency extension is listed as 25Hz. On axis response is +/- 2dB from 39H... | |
| taming studio 100's You realize of course my friend that this is only the beginning of the obsession. Glad to hear it worked out for you. |
