| Multi-room configuration I use an Adcom GFS-6 Speaker Selector to feed 4 pairs of speakers throughout the house. Used to have all 6 sets wired up in another house, and never had a problem. I also don't try for audiophile sound through the house system, but it does a fine ... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Max:No offense taken, at all, sir, in fact I am grateful for your efforts to steer us all straight. And I fully concur that common terms and definitions would be a wonderful thing. As this thread demonstrates, such a thing is still somewhat out of... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Max:Kindly allow me to quote myself: "I look at it this way..." So of course, I must respond "Yes, yes, yes" (sans the absurdly suggestive phrasing of a current television commercial, if you please :) It seems to me that all this bi-wiring, shotgu... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables "I think everybody has a different definition of what Shotgun, Bi-wiring, true Bi-wiring etc..."Who started this ?! Oh yeah - it WAS you, wasn't it, Bucky!I look at it this way - I need to make the left/right/+/- on my amp connect to the left/righ... | |
| Anyone heard speakers by Stephen Sank. Pic of No I have not heard his speakers. I am one of his very satisfied customers, with a Moscode 300 he redesigned that I long ago ran out of superlatives for. If his speakers deliver the same sound value, you cannot possibly go wrong. w/r/t the timelin... | |
| Tube amp for Silverline SR17s Steve:I'm driving my SR-17s with a custom rebuilt NYAL Moscode 300 by Steve Sank (http://www.thuntek.net/~bk11/home.htm) which came in at exactly your price point, but with a PERFORMANCE point easily 3 times that level. I bought the 300 for $500, ... | |
| Which monitor speakers are the most detailed... Shanej:I recommend Silverline SR-17s. It is an "older" model that doesn't get boatloads of press, but you don't find them available used very often because those that own them simply don't need to look elsewhere. They are simply superb. Excellent ... | |
| A good 2ch preamp? Actually, the Creek passive is a surprisingly good little piece of gear - it convinced me passive is the way to go once you start putting better components in the system. It will also let you know whether the components, including ICs, are as good... | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... Just to be different (and because I think they are really great speakers) I'll recommend something already on your list - the SR-15s. I own the SR-17s and use them in a 13.6 x 13.6 x 8 bedroom. Silverline makes a wonderfully balanced speaker, it i... | |
| Who is going to the CES show? From the CES web site: "Bradbury Anderson of Best Buy, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Greg Drew of 800.com, Alan McCollough of Circuit City, Leonard H. Roberts of RadioShack and Meg Whitman of eBay."Yeah, these would be my choices for people I would trust ... | |
| I GIVE UP Steve:Sovteks get upgraded for a reason. And just cuz the tubes were furnished by Upscale doesn't mean they are necessarily Kevin's choice for that amp. Touch base with him and ask what he'd recommend. The man doesn't have the reputation he has fo... | |
| Most beautiful violin recording you have heard Hey all:The Young Frankenstein piece is "A Transylvania Lullaby" by John Morris, apparently written for the film. Available on the soundtrack, of course, but also on "Devil's Dance" by Gil Shaham and Jonathan Feldman (DG 463 483-2). chas | |
| Quality Monitors? Castlesteve beat me too it - The Silverline SR-17s replaced Paradigms in my house, and they are marvelous. I did the obligatory head to heads with competitors (some mentioned in this thread, some not) and just thought these were musical without lo... | |
| Is it ALWAYS necessary to understand words of song? Hey, I had a neighbor that went around singing "Felix Doughboy the Hero" to the tune of "Billy Don't Be a Hero" (a bubblegum hit in the US back around 1970 or so, iirc). Sometimes, its even better when you don't know the words - to this day when I... | |
| Two great seminars this fall Ok, since I was the lost soul, I'll try to be found there in November as well. Besides, I heard the Wadia 888 Super 8 8-track player is totally awesome and will completely blow away any 8 track player you've never heard. I'm bringing my Ronco 80 m... |
