| Top Ten Tweaks Blueswan: I think that you were right on target with the thread. There is a lot to be done after the cheap tweaks are out of the way. I have added Neuance shelving under the tube amp and CD transport with great results as well as a pair of the BMI... | |
| Top Ten Tweaks I like Ezmerelda's list of low cost tweaks (mainly involving your time and energy), but recommend a wool felt surround for tweeters (again if the design benefits from it). My addition will be leveling the CD player/transport (and turntables of cou... | |
| Feet of Silence Nope, but I like the name. Reminds me of the "Cone(s) of Silence" from the "Get Smart" TV show. | |
| recommended speakers for SET amp? Mmccoy: Yes, I am in the same boat as far as building the cabinets myself and the use of a jointer would be needed in order to get a proper fit (why do it half arsed)? I know that Lak at this site was using Klipsch speakers with a 2A3 amp (I found... | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S Glen: It must have been someone who worships both Reader's Digest and Consumer Reports as Bose is almost at the top of the list in the recent CR issue (along with quite a few bad beers). Wish they would have stuck to what they are knowlegable about. | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S Thanks Sean. I did mean well, but could not control myself. In all honesty, listen to everything that you can before laying down your hard earned income. As always, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and hopefully you will stumble across somethi... | |
| Tube v. Solid State / Analog v. Digital They are all subject to measurement, but what many have found out is that the measurements do not give a complete picture of what something sounds like. It looks as if a different basis for the measurements still needs to be discovered as far as o... | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S PS: Just kidding Markman, about the CAPS that is. David. | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S WHICH ONE OF THE ABOVE POSTS, IS easier TO READ? | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S Yes, I thing that you should give both a try. Then you will know if it's for you. | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S YES, I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD GIVE BOTH A TRY. THEN YOU WILL KNOW IF IT'S FOR YOU. | |
| What is the best digital cable? My best is the Mapleshade Double Helix digital IC that sells for a whopping $125. It really depends on the setup and your personal taste as this cable bettered a few of the ones listed above in my application, but it did not do the same in a frien... | |
| Skeptical no more The main thing that consistently comes up in feedback on the "big boy" PC's is added low frequency information (bass). When you finally audition a PC in your system that has this, you will then be able to decide whether it is worth the money to yo... | |
| recommended speakers for SET amp? Mmccoy: The only affordable (in this case) speakers that come to mind, with efficiency and dimensions such as this, are the modern Klipsch models (probably get a better deal used) and also a speaker kit from hammerdynamics.com that retails for aro... | |
| Maintaining an Even Keel. Drubin: I felt the same way about it as we are talking about the very low mass of a CD, but it does make an audible difference (at least on my CAL Icon MKII and also on the new 9000ES than JIM "Whatjb" just set up). So from now on I will just chec... |
