| $800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system Research the Gallo CL-2 speakers (being closed out here on A'Gon for <$400/pair) and the PS Audio Sprout integrated amplifier (sold direct for $500).You would need 20"-24" speaker stands for the Gallo's, but they should be fine without a sub.Th... | |
| Best speakers for Pink Floyd? IMO, the ultimate PF DSOM speaker is the stock "mono" speaker in a 1967 Volkswagon bug. | |
| Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's GDNRBOB:Telecon (also telcon) is 80's speak for telephone conversation (in this case the one you mentioned having with Richard Vandersteen).A few inches (one way or the other) can make sizable differences in the bass/mid-bass qualityof a speaker, ... | |
| Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's As you mentioned having a smaller listening room (your post about a telecon with RV) I suggest spending lots of time/effort properly positioning the 3A Sigs for best overall balance and leave it @ that.Even in a large room the V subs rarely come ... | |
| Most of us have this in our collections .... Heard "it" (Iowa City Hancher Auditorium) in the mid 70's.Not a Brubeck fan in general, but loved Joe and Paul.Suspect that John Belushi got part of his shtick from Joe. | |
| Cork floors? Cork fades with exposure to direct sunlight. | |
| Why do some dealers TatersWhat other audio websites are you currently "allowed" to post @? | |
| New format, dislike..... I preferred the old format by a mile."Main" problem with the new format is eye strain (I can only read for a few minutes, or so, before the type gets blurry). | |
| My Musical Fidelity amp died..What's next? Not certain if it's still available, but the Anthem I-225 integrated amp seemed to be a favorite with the 1.6's and 1.7's. | |
| Transitioning from SS to tube amplification Broadstone, my rec was to turn the PL volume pot up to it's maximum setting (not ¾). | |
| Transitioning from SS to tube amplification Broadstone:Try the volume pot settings I rec'd before purchasing other gear as the previous settings you mentioned may be the problem.The PL should have more than enough power for the 3A's unless you have a large listening room (as you don't seem ... | |
| Transitioning from SS to tube amplification Broadstone:Assuming your PL uses an Alps volume pot, turning it up to max will most likely offer the best sound as if will be the next best thing to removing it from the signal path completely.I've done this with an Audion Silver Night integrated ... | |
| Transitioning from SS to tube amplification Try setting the PL volume @ maximum and then adjust the PT's preamp volume accordingly.I assume the PL does not have pre/out amp/in connections, which would be better.Anyway, depending upon the PL's design, running its volume pot @ max should pret... | |
| What would you do? Your time may be better spent accumulating "data" on the Adcom GFA-555 that you seem to lust after.Unless it's been washed from the Internet you should come up with a major retracted review of the unit. | |
| What would you do? It's been common knowledge for years (run a WWW search) and nobody that I know of (aside from you) cares as their cables still sell in the dirt cheap range.What I do not understand is why they do not simply place a meager reserve price for the auc... |
