| My music sounds brighter I just had a checkup and the is nothing wrong with my ears. I don't have the ringing symptoms common with tinnitus and everything else sounds normal. I am more in line to believe there's potentially something wrong with my electronics. However, wo... | |
| My music sounds brighter Yes. AC has been on for a few months now. This was not an issue last summer. | |
| My music sounds brighter I set up my audio system 1.5 years ago. I've made no changes in the room since. I have the room temp at 70 degrees and humidity at 50%. I started noticing the brightness about 2 weeks ago. And no, I don't drink! | |
| Verdi's Macbeth opera conducted by Riccardo Muti Runtime seems to be about 2 hours and 7 minutes (as listed for the 1976 version). I can't find any information about the 1986 digitally remastered version (but I would assume it's the same). There appears to be more music pressed onto side two of... | |
| Verdi's Macbeth opera conducted by Riccardo Muti I'm sure the UK pressed EMI version probably sounds the best (I have the Carl Neilsen compete symphony set with Herbert Blomstedt and it sounds great). However I'm only dealing with the two versions previously mentioned. The first set, pressed in... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers And which Vandersteen did you listen to? | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers I should add that I'm quite pleased with my current setup. But we all have that nagging feeling of what better components can do. Vandersteen's are definitely a better speaker than Wharfedale's. But I can think of better things to spend $1000 on (... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers I listened to them at the seller's home with his Manley Neo Classic 250 amp and Sonic Frontier 3 preamp. And I listened to both LP's from Mobile Fidelity and Telarc; and CD's from DG and Phillips (all high sonic quality recordings which normally ... | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records No, I don't let the liquid sit. I do let the record turn five times though before I vacuum it up. And I repeat that procedure twice with distilled water. I've been watching a bunch of videos on ultrasonic cleaning and I think I'm going to try a ... | |
| Speaker Upgrade I am also not a fan of the B&W speakers. Please keep in mind though that I do have a mirage 15 inch down firing subwoofer.FYI, I hooked up the ADS speakers last night and in all honesty found little difference between them and my Wharfedales.... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Sounds good. Already spoke to Pete for about an hour today and plan on calling John tomorrow. | |
| Speaker Upgrade I'm not really familiar with vandersteen speakers. I suspect the two series is better than the one and the 3 Series is better than the two. Not sure what it means exactly when signature is put in. | |
| Speaker Upgrade Looks like the Vandersteen 2ce signature speakers are going for at least $1,000 plus shipping (none local) on eBay. The one my friend is selling is not a signature version. It is about 15 years old and in mint condition. He is asking $600 but I ... | |
| Speaker Upgrade One more thing, ADS L1290 ($350) vs Vandersteen 2CE ($600). Listening to classical and jazz. Which one? Thanks | |
| Speaker Upgrade Without listening to them, that's my thoughts as well despite all the rave reviews about the Elac's. I owned a pair of ADS L1230's 30 years ago and they were amazing speakers. My room is about 15 feet by 12 feet and the listening setup will be hor... |
