| Using subs as speaker stands ? I have Tannoy PBM6.5 monitors on 12" stands on 10" subs in my HT system and it seems to be fine. You loose the flexibility of optimally positioning the subs in the room but I'm quite happy with the sound. | |
| Looking for a great tube headphone amp I've owned an MF X-CanV2, Wheatfield HA-1, and ASL MG Head OTL. My preference and current amp is the MG Head. I like a tubey laid back amp with headphones so I use the transformer output rather than the OTL. All three are very good headphone amps.... | |
| Best Dual purpose HT and Music speakers 10k Welborne Labs has the Aspen Speaker Company on their list for recommended speakers (for SET amps). ASC makes a model HT-6K that looks interesting for $1250 each (LCR) and SE-8K for $3000 a pair (LR) or SE-10K for $4000 a pair (LR). I've never hear... | |
| Senn HD600 headphones = what Speakers? I use an ASL MG OTL headphone amp. I replaced a new production Sovtek 5751 with a NOS cryoed Mullard 12AU7 yesterday and really opened up the Sennheisers. If you want the sound of the Sovtek 5751 you could get a pair of Meadolark Kestrels. If you ... | |
| Have You Ever Put Your Golden Ears to the Test?? Doing a double blind test with statistics is quite difficult with audio gear. The double protion of the title is that the presenter also doesn't know which stimulus is being given to the subject (non-verbal clues are not allowed). However, it's mu... | |
| 5.1 or 7.1 for 14' x 17' room ? The Lexicon processors provide their own 7 channel algorithm that can and does work with any format. I believe you can achieve good results with a placement that includes far left, left, center, right, and far right along the front wall and bipola... | |
| New Meadowlark Swallow monitor Based on having had the Kestrel HR and the Shearwater HR, I would agree with a review I once read that there is not a Meadolark sound. The Kestrel and Shearwater are very different speakers. My personal opinion was that the Kestrel might be more s... | |
| Need help with tubes for AES AE-3 At $6.95 each, Sovteks sound pretty good to me but it depends on your whole system (synergy) and what you like. I've tried Sylvania chrome domes and thought they had a warm but soft midrange that just didn't work in my system for classical guitar,... | |
| Quad57's and Janis W3 Subwoofer I don't know the Quad57s but I have a W3 system that I use with Merlin VSM-Ms and it sounds great. I also have a W1 system that I use with Tannoy System 8 studio monitors that are fairly efficient (92dB/w) and quite fast. Integration has never bee... | |
| ACI Anyone? Haven't heard their speakers but I have bought quite a few cables from them. After several puchases they offered their 10% discount on cables which is usually given to people who buy their speakers (without my asking for any discount). Nice folks,... | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO I've read about and experienced clock locking problems with some digital cables. This causes a momentary dropout. I'm using a Cardas Lightening that works fine. | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO Quick follow-up: I should have mentioned that my ART DI/O is not a Bolder Cable mod but rather was done on the West Coast somewhere and I was using an inexpensive Atari power supply. (Using a Bolder Cable powersupply with a Bybee filter might be i... | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO Just bought an ART DI/O here on Audiogon for a headphone system. It's headphone nirvana! I'm using it with a CAL Delta transport, an ASL MG OTL tube headphone amp, and a pair of Senn HD545s (which I like better in this setup than the HD600).The ot... | |
| Anyone try the new Cardas cord for Senn HD600's?? I have the Cardas cord and the difference is striking. There is improvement across the entire spectrum. However, my personal taste is for a bit less high end (to me it's brightness to others it's detail). I've therefore relegated them to a pair of... | |
| Can you overdamp the front wall? Like most things, It's a matter of taste. I have a project studio where I have an LEDE (live end dead end) setup where the entire third of the studio with the monitors (front wall, ceiling, & side walls) is covered with absorptive material (an... |
