| Single driver vs. mini monitor Jezz:The KEF2005 is not a single driver design. KEF calls is a "Q" system, I call it a coaxial. The speakers have center mounted tweeters (where the dust cap on a driver usually is) and a crossover of sorts.With all things being equal (never happe... | |
| Turntable stands Mikes:Your best bet is a simple DIY rack/stand (assuming that you do not intend spending more for the rack/stand than you have for the source gear).Copy and link to the following A'Gon thread in regard to the "Lack Rack".http://forum.audiogon.com/... | |
| Speaker cable -no shorter than 8FT? T or F Audioengr:Sorry I lost track of this thread. The technical basis was simply that Pierre did not like the sound of his stock cables (most applications) in lengths much longer than what he had spec'd for them. Seems reasonable enough as he basically... | |
| Tube integrated amp for my son's first system. Jake:I have read about a few single source kit tube amps (-w- volume pots) over @ AA in the Tube Forum (around $135), and they may also come assembled.Might be cool to build one of these with your son (think you would have to make a wood base, as ... | |
| Transfering film to dvd Perfect:Not certain about the process, but have seen odd projectors (with blinders) that project to a small area (think this may be what was used on ours). I also had this done 17 years ago, so transfer methods may have changed/improved since then... | |
| Battery powered DAC KC:Per Sedond's 7/24 post higher capacity batteries are available for a $100 upcharge (this includes a larger case to house them). | |
| What speaker shoud I choose? Brendel:I forgot to mention another speaker that should be easy to audition (chain stores and small shop often carry the line).Try to listen to the Polk RT25i speakers. They are suitable for rooms on the smaller side and sound very nice in such. E... | |
| Transfering film to dvd Pefect:Look in the local Yellow Pages under "Video/Production Services".Assuming that this is on old 8mm stock and also that the movies were shot/edited by a parent consider leaving them intact, instead of re-editing them.A few things to think abo... | |
| Dylan - The Greatest Remasters Ever Ben:I did not dislike his music during this period (though I also do not feel that it was his best effort), and instead I tended to just ignore the religious aspect and simply listened to some of the music. At this point in my life I was tired of ... | |
| Seeking full range single driver speaker recs Sean: You looked @ measurments while I instead listened to the Jordan drivers in two different types of enclosures. The Jordan drivers offered an amazing amount of separation (single instruments and musical lines in complex material) which in turn... | |
| What speaker shoud I choose? Not familar with the Esprit, but with 80% classical in mind try to check out the Aegis One (current model is the Aegis Evo One), which retail for around $300/pr.The Mini Monitor is voiced more for popular music and R&R as are "some" of their m... | |
| RIP Robert Palmer "Sneakin Sally" used Little Feat as the band. Probably some of the best work both ever did. Palmer added a keener sense of timing/drive to the super but still somewhat lethargic band and in turn they seemed to influence his phrasing for the better... | |
| Dylan - The Greatest Remasters Ever Ben:Those are the words and/or exactly what the movement was named here in the US (I know "Jews for Jesus" to this day and that's what they call themselves), so I don't know what it is about my post that concerns you. My wife is Jewish and I am a ... | |
| Seeking full range single driver speaker recs A little over your budget @ $1750, but you might take a look @ carolinaaudio.com (the JTM model). They are similar to the Konus Audio speakers in that both use modified cabinets based on the same Ted Jordan design (both speakers also use the same ... | |
| Speaker cable -no shorter than 8FT? T or F Mapleshade's claims are/were based on the specific design of their cables (I have discussed this with Pierre @ Mapleshade). To make use of longer lengths the cables can be ordered untwisted (@ least they could be 3 years ago) and in this applicati... |
