| CD direct to amp vs active preamp Sean, with your interest in recording, you should take a peek at the Z-Systems rdp-1 digital pre-amp/equalizer. While expensive at $5K, it's da bomb. Charlie | |
| Mapleshade "CLEARVIEW DOUBLE HELIX" speaker cables I use them and they are just fine, thank you. | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? Solid state. | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Since I have to choose one, "classical" music has the most real meaning for me, even though I don't think I listen to it more than half the time. Charlie | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? Music and boombox. I would, of course, first ask for a fiddlin' contest, which would make the scenario moot. Charlie Daniell. | |
| Tone controls to get bass from small speakers? 1. Anyone who still thinks tone controls degrade the sound has not heard the Z-Systems digital equalization units. (Unfortunately, the one I use cost $5K new.) 2. A "small" speaker can only do so much, no matter what you do with a "tone controller... | |
| Need help with a pair of small speakers I use the Harbeth Compact 7ES-II in a small room. Due to traffic flow, I keep them mostly against the wall on 24" stands. Out of laziness, they are often listened to in that position. They sound great even against the wall. (I have a ten foot ceil... | |
| Which direction would you go? Mike, it really comes down to your speakers and the reflectivity of the listening room environment. Please do yourself a favor and research the Harbeth line. They are a perfect match for your listening tastes, which is similar to mine. I, like Pau... | |
| Is bass-expander really good for stereo system? Simon, I would also recommend experimenting with a sub. There are other, (more controllable,) subs such as the M&K line which have a low-pass filter adjustment which will allow you to pick where they compliment your main speakers best. Remembe... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Well said Bomarc, but Spile has to accomodate it's advertisers, of course. Bishopwill, it is certainly the knee-jerk reaction of 99% of "audiophiles" to completely reject the notion that they may fall prey to marketing hype, aesthetics, and popula... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Tim, I was not aware that science and religion were mutually exclusive. Where did that come from? If one equates faith in God with faith in Nordost Valahalla's ability to "transform" a system, and/or the fact that some scientists are aetheists bec... | |
| Integrated Amps: Classe vs. Audio Refinement? Beware the "much more" this and "much more" that. Way too stong a statement for the relatively subtle differences in these type amps, IMHO. I just sold an ARC, and if it is "tube like" then so is the Creek 4330 and the 5350SE, which I still have. ... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? NO, but if they can sleep at night, I guess it is OK. I doubt many of the posters here have actually talked to a recording engineer in their life, much less have an educated comment on what happens in the studio. Smoke and mirrors, boys. Do blind ... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) I did not know ya'll had those thangs in Tuscaloosa! We don't have much use for anything that won't haul a few bales of hay down here. [:)] War Eagle! Charlie | |
