| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Jman,Agree with you, my Sonus Faber G's have got me off the merry-go-round also.A very special speaker that is a pleasure to own. | |
| What happened to the absolute sound web page? Thanks Reubent, that's the link...Strange though that they would let that domain name ( www.theabsolutesound.com) go by the wayside! Probably forgot to pay the renewal fees in time.:0)lol! | |
| speaker recommendations for a 12 x 12 room? Azkeith, I too am using a similar sized room.In this room, I have excellent results with SF GuarneriHommage speakers. One of the best things I have tried is to place large objects into the corners of the room behind the speakers for diffraction an... | |
| Wilson Audio MAXX series III Since the Maxx series 2 is now a boat anchor, I will be looking out for these on A'gon for pennies on the dollar. | |
| Cartridge aging and tip wear symtoms? While I appreciate all the above answers, I am still left confused as to how to recognize the onset of cartridge failure. I agree that if the suspension fails then the results will be probably obvious. However, what are the symtoms of failure of t... | |
| Rowland owners which speaker you use & recommend I am amazed at the synergy between my Model 8 and the SF Guarneri Hommage. VERY musical. | |
| Philips CD-80 digital output quality? WP, I too will be interested to see responses to this thread. I also own a CD80, although I only use it as a transport. I use a EAD7000 Mk3 DAC and this seems to be a nice improvement over the 80 as a stand alone unit. | |
| Why does my headphone set up sound better ? Thanks Davetherave,you are right, my question was related to the headphone output of the CD80 vs. the DAC and M-F X-CAN output to headphone . Should have been clearer about this. LOL, my room setup is far more realistic than the headphone sound fr... | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 service in San Diego area ? Mabonn, forgot about Dan at Blackbird, he is a great recommendation. | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 service in San Diego area ? You might try Stereo Unlimited on Sports Arena Blvd. I know Stereo Design on Clairemont Mesa used to sell Linn, however, I cannot recommend them. | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? I don't think bi-wiring is a myth, I have used bi-wires on my speakers for years, using them on my Hales prior to my current SF Guarneri's. In all instances, I feel this config is better than single runs. The speakers seem to project air and micro... | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? Sprink, If you look at my system pics, you will see how a true bi-wire should be IMHO. That is a single same gauge and same manufacturer run per terminal. In my case I use Highwire's and run an identical pair in a 8' configuration. This allows for... | |
| Audio Research for Sonus Faber Extrema Avico, you might try a used CAT preamp. Matching this to a ss amp like a Rowland or maybe a Plinius would yield I suspect a great sound with Extrema's. | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? I've bi-wired my various speakers for years and really believe the benefits are substantial. I think it is crucial to actually use two sets of cable per speaker vs. a single cable with bi-wire ends. The added clarity and dynamics in my system are ... | |
| Rowland Model 6 monoblocks - my thoughts I am under the impression that the Rowlands are always powered up whenever they are plugged in... esssentially in a 'sleep' mode until the front switch is activated. I know that my model 8 works in this manner and I am fairly sure all of the line ... |
