| Massage therapist looking for stereo for office I am using, for ambient music in my vet clinic, an older mega receiver along with PSB monitors, (I use a Niles multi speaker selector and the Niles volume control modules for each room.) A decent cd changer will do fine. She could get all that if ... | |
| Speakers with You could very well be drawn to the sound, like I am, of the "BBC" monitors. Maybe a Spendor SP 1/2 or Harbeth Compact 7ES. All speakers are "voiced" and each of us has a preference. You can chase a particular sound with very expensive "tone contr... | |
| Blue Circle Power Cord and Line Condtioner Hello. I have, and use, the BC84 conditioner along with four BC61 power cords. They are well made. I don't hear much difference vs. stock, (take this comment with a "grain of salt" as I am not a cable guy, or maybe I have clean power to start with... | |
| CD Burners: Which one to buy? These fellows are a lot smarter than I, but if you find a good deal on a Pioneer PDR-W839 you might consider it. Mine works just fine. The "consumer" grade CDR that you must use with any non "pro" unit are now easily found for less than $1. This m... | |
| Seek Integrated for 1000 dollars, new / used, suggestions? Creek 5350SE. Check into it. Very, very good! | |
| Pioneer multi-disc CD recorders for mod? In case I was not clear...my recorder (PDR W839) is not modified. It is stock, and it does a great job as a "consumer" grade recorder. I have a DVD player that was modified by Stan Warren that I use in my second system.Stan is a straight shooter, ... | |
| Pioneer multi-disc CD recorders for mod? Eric,I have the 839. As I remember, the 839 has a higher bit (24 bit) inboard dac for analogue to digital recording. (Copy of a copy is in analogue mode in these "consumer grade" machines, as well as recording from lp or tape source.)This is a gre... | |
| Speaker dilema? Maggies, Newforms, or Merlins In my communications with BBC monitor lovers and makers, the Quad electrostats are often used or mentioned with great favor. You might want to give them a listen, as well.Tubegroover, I really don't understand people who keep on talking about the ... | |
| Anyone heard the Toshiba EMI Pink Floyds If you like your Pink Floyd devoid of bass and on the shrill side, get these EMI pressings. This is the kind of mix, IMHO, that begs for tone controls, (digital please, and hurry.) The psuedo lp packaging is kind of cool, and the Japanese writing ... | |
| Amp suggestion for Spendor Sp1/2 speakers You might want to look at past The Absolute Sound write ups on the SP 1/2 by RE Greene. He used them as his personal reference speakers right after his Quads and before his Harbeth Monitor 40s. (Dr. Greene always measures, and graphs, the response... | |
| vibrapod residue Thanks, Kitch. I do have a cat tongue handy.... | |
| The worst sound system Two beers? Sounds like you did the right thing and got out of there fast! Sad part is, if they let you put in the sound system, I bet some patrons would wonder what happened to those 'rockin speakers you used to have?' | |
| Misconceptions of Speakers Yes, those X's represent the days I don't have to take my medication and they let me out in the fresh air for a few minutes. Excuse me, I have to hurry up and finish marking the calendar before the orderly comes back, (you know, the "sharp object"... | |
| Armor-all Whoa, boys. They now have a "grease free" formula that has eliminated the cloudiness! (Be sure to apply it in a counterclockwise direction.) Try that and get back to us. | |
| Misconceptions of Speakers Sounds good to me! OK, I promise to wait at least 48 hours between references to "you know what." |
