| The top ten reasons why..... Good one Lorne. You had me Carping on it to the very end. | |
| new system for beginner Considering your room size and musical tastes you might start by trying to audition a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Signatures (large floor standers) to see if you like their sound (these can often be had for $800 or so used, though freight will be high... | |
| Best speaker in nearfield listening Hiflyer: I use the less expensive Reynaud Twins MKII which work just fine in the near field (they easily out perform my old Rogers Ls3/5a's in all areas including the midrange). The Trente however has a top mounted tweeter (bottom mounted on the T... | |
| Best tweak I'll second Ernie on this type of isolation tweak. I installed the electronics for the living room setup in the hall closet. Very little air born vibration and a lot less coming up from the floor. Also when the lights are out and the music is on, ... | |
| Your favorite blues album? What does the term "nation sack" mean Blues Brothers? Just heard it on a Cassandra Wilson tune. | |
| My latest find. What's yours? Here's the "Dirty Dozen" from the last few weeks of thrift shop picking. 1. "Cinema", Philp Aaberg (solo piano) on Winham Hill Records. 2. "New Jazz Conception", Bill Evans Trio on Riverside Records. 3. "Sunday at the Village Vandguard", Bill Evan... | |
| new system for beginner Masdm: Please provide the approx. size of your room, your real world budget (high and low) and whether you would prefer larger (tall, as many of the better ones are narrow) floor standing speakers or stand mounted monitors. A good system, IMO, is ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Redkiwi: Thanks, I will give this a try in couple of weeks when the fresh pair of IC's break in. I am going to break them in with daily music as you did. I need to get the spare bedroom system setup again (with the SS amp and the CDR) for my godso... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kitch: I am starting from scratch again with a new set of IC's (longer this time) that I just made up from the OTA kit. Things were sounding too pat and I needed a change. | |
| "Vintage" speakers...good idea? A much better speaker from the same time period are the Yamaha 1000 Studio Monitors. They seemed to be fairly efficient as I once ran a pair with a single Dynaco Stereo 70 with good results. There were a couple of different versions/models and I c... | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade Hi Jim: It just dawned on me that the outlet that I am using at this time tests as having an open ground (which is none at all I think). We have another line going to the living room that also is not properly grounded. I have not gotten around to ... | |
| How can you tell when tubes are shot? I like Sugarbrie's take which is an easy way to tell. Another thing to watch out for (if you are not used to switching/comparing tubes) is to allow them to cool all the way down before handling/changing them. Not doing so can damage or take a lot ... | |
| Heads up on Toshiba SD-6200 What is it? | |
| Highest B/B If you have a friend with a SS setup, just switch speakers for awhile (if they are up for it). | |
| Tube amp newbie- where can I learn?? Sutts: I just read your recent post (another thread) and you answered my question of where you found a combo of amps like this. The farthest I will ever get is to maybe add a single SS powered sub down the line. Good go. |
