| Rowland owners which speaker you use & recommend The PC1 doesn't take a load from the 501s, it buffers the load demand from the 501 on the mains and instead of a spiky demand request it presents a more even, sinewave-like load that keeps the mains clean. (Those spikes cause harmonics in the main... | |
| Best all around speakers I with MrT, if you suffering, then get another hobby. Music should be a joy.Dave | |
| "Best" of the "Universal" players ???. Oh!? Since you're the OP and you "know" the answer, then why are you asking the question? Is that Spectral owner a friend or yourself? Dave | |
| Best all around speakers Eweedhome, what's your digital source? That's often the real issue with unlistenable CDs. No front end can overcome an overly compressed extremely poorly mastered CD, but a good player/DAC combination can work wonders with most CDs, removing the g... | |
| Best all around speakers Calldr said:"A speaker that will not let you hear a bad recording is poor investment."Absolutely!! | |
| Best all around speakers Go ahead, extract whatever you want out of context, the fact is I said, "replicate a live performance". Your just being argumentative for some reason.Dave | |
| Best all around speakers Musicnoise, I never said anything about live performance, so why are you talking about it? I talked about replicating a live performance. Get your panties out of your crack and move on.Dave | |
| Best all around speakers Musicnoise, what you meant to say in your quoted text is muddy, at least. We're talking about home music systems here, not live performance equipment and I still can't see where you made any clear distinction. Sorry for the misinterpretation.I thi... | |
| Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand 08-16-08: Acdvd asked:"Do you mean the closer you are to the wall the less bass node/hump you will get?How far should they be from the rear wall?"It's coomplicated. My left speaker is 16" from the rear wall, but the right is 14" due to irregularit... | |
| Rowland owners which speaker you use & recommend Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby Grands here. Look at my system link.Dave | |

| Jeff Rowland Capri preamp Even though it gives me pause (yuck), I agree with your shorthand, but "tube sound" is so broad that it is dangerous. As you know, some tube amps are very colored and euphonic, particularly at the less expensive end of the "quality" scale. Many, I... | |
| "Best" of the "Universal" players ???. If you don't already own DVD-As and your planning on two-channel CD and SACD, then there are many more options that makes CDs sound competitive with SACDs. You've mentioned Esoteric. Playback Designs is another alternative at the high end of the p... | |
| Best all around speakers I've never understood trying to match speakers to particular types of music. Either speakers are accurate or they're not. If they're accurate (dynamically and frequency response-wise) and full range, then they'll work equally well with any music.Dave | |
| Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand Good point Dlee. The VA Baby Grands have a rear-firing, which need to engage the rear wall, BUT moving them just a fraction of an inch can produce a bass node or hump that'll spoil the overall balance and the mids. Fortunately, only a little patie... |
