| CD transport vintage and mods - The laser transport was $160 from CAL and the mods including installing the transport (which I had sent to Dan) were $300. So for $495 (including about $35 for shipping) I have a better than new transport that sounds great. | |
| 20th Century Composers John Cage, Elliott Carter, and Leo Brouwer -- As for John Williams, Five Sacred Trees really shows what he can do and is great on a high end system. | |
| What is the range of human hearing? Though there are systems that can reproduce high frequency content and though we may be able to hear it, if we're trying to reproduce a realistic musical experience, we might keep in mind that air absorption alone in a hall will cause a 10-12dB at... | |
| My new dedicated room sound like crap,please help. I use a dedicated room that is 7.5x10x8. Bass traps made a huge difference. Of course, a Tact Room Correction System can do wonders as well. | |
| Subwoofer Blending I'm definately in the camp for running a speaker like your Proac full range. -- As to your question, however, my experience is that to get a good match, you need cross-over frequency, volume, and continuously variable phase control for a sub. I've... | |
| CD-R's suddenly "unreadable". Don't know if this is relevant to your situation but thought I'd pass the info along. -- Recently I asked Dan Wright of ModWright to do some mods on my CAL Delta transport. He said he was reluctant to do so since he felt that the laser in a CDP/T ... | |
| Help, moved and very unhappy the sound of the syst First thought about your arrangement is that using the wall with the 9' height for your equipment and the 12' height for your listening position might be a better choice if possible. | |
| Confused about 7.1 Formats I'm not familiar with the particular equipment you describe nor whether there actually is a 7.1 format encoding / decoding scheme. I have a Lexicon processor that uses proprietary signal processing to extract far right and left information that is... | |
| Held up in customs When I called UPS about shipping to Canada, I was given a price and told that the Web site has all the NAFTA forms. I was also told the price did not include any customs and/or brokerage fees that might apply. | |
| Did anybody use these...? Meadowlark Shearwaters have about a 2.5in wide circle of foam (1/4in thick) around their tweeters. Since they are lightly tacked with glue I removed them and placed them around the esotar tweeters on a pair of Merlin VSM-Ms. I thought it was an im... | |
| Professional vs. Consumer speakers I use pro monitors for HT and small project studio both with SS gear. For classical music I have a tube system with home speakers. Anything I produce in the project studio gets a first listen on the classical setup and then the HT and finally on m... | |
| What's your tube pre doing? I thought I would be selling my AE3 when I purchased a Tact RCS 2.0 with internal DAC and volume/pan control. I expected to go straight to my SET amp. Wrong - without the AE3 the sound took a giant step in the direction of SS sound. Put the AE3 ba... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS Most of us, whether seller or buyer, do what we can to make the other party as comfortable with a transaction as possible. Why complete a transaction if one party is dissatisfied? Communication almost always leads to a resolution of different but ... | |
| Mini-systems I have a Denon M-3 that I use much as you describe. I think the current model is the M-30 for about $450 with 20w/ch into Mission speakers. | |
| PS Audio's Ultimate Outlet Another subjective evaluation of a system/power source dependent component. In my system, the background around the notes became more black with a single unit. I added a second unit, one for preamp and amp and the second for CD transport and DAC, ... |
