| Great sound from CD Changer? CAL made one (model CL-10) which is good as a stand alone but that can also be used with an external DAC. I just saw a used one listed at this site for a very fair price. Anthem (the budget Sonic Frontiers) made one that I am not familiar with. Th... | |
| Solid State Preamp with Tube Amp? Gunbei: Sure, it will sound different. If you do put something like this together just take care not to run a source or signal through the tube amp without having speakers attached to it. Doing so will damage the amp. When I first got the SET amp ... | |
| LPs - display/storage etc ideas Kublakhan: If you have a sizeable closet in or near the listening room, it can be made into a vinyl library with the addition of shelves and some decent lighting. I have done this in two apartments that I have lived in and just kept a small bin of... | |
| Granite Audio Power cord 555 702: As long as I am allowed to use my ears, yes. | |
| Where s the bass? yes, I missed the player. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Steven: I cannot see that it does with my setup. I do not have the spec's for my amp, but have to guess that the distortion is fairly high considering the output tubes used and the sensativity of the speakers. With the right tubes the 300B amp als... | |
| Guilty pleasure,Del Shannon,C.Baker etc. Paul: I agree with you on Elliman's choice of material, which is part of the problem that I have with the album, though my wife loves it (memories of a very exciting time in her life). I played Krall for my father (who was visiting over the holida... | |
| Martin Logan: They finally did it Pctower: I listened to the Vandersteen 5's a few weeks ago and must suffer from your hearing anomaly as well. The only problem that I can see is setup since the subs are contained in the same space as the rest of the drivers. The dealer however ha... | |
| Guilty pleasure,Del Shannon,C.Baker etc. Here is part of our dirty laundry list. 1. Herb Alpert "Second Wind", my pick. 2. Yvonne Elliman "Yvonne Elliman", this is my wife's pick and she attended a party at her place in London in the 70's which may be a part of the attraction. 3. Johnny ... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Stevemj: I don't beleive that measured distortion has a lot to do with hearing the differences (in my setup anyway). I use a 300B tube SET amp which must rate rather high on the distortion scale and almost every piece of cable that I have tried ha... | |
| question about BOSE reputation If your main concern is tiny speakers, you may want to take a look at the Gallo Micro system. The speakers are round balls the size of an orange and the powered subwoofer is also quite small. Much better sound than the Bose systems that I have hea... | |
| Where s the bass? If you like the general sound and would like to add bass, try a good power cord on the player. I added two BMI Whale PC's to my system and one of the many benefits was added low frequecncy response (information that I never heard with the other af... | |
| Power Cords for Subs, any benefit? JOwen: You may be able to experiment with what you already have on hand to come up with an answer as far as your setup goes. Remove the PC from your amp and replace it with the stock cord. Then disconnect one of the subs and just use one. Listen t... | |
| Inexpensive DIY Speakers Here's an idea that may be too involved, but here goes. Have the kids build the "cabinets" for a DESIRABLE DIY speaker kit in teams (to keep the costs down). One that comes to mind (because I desire it myself) is the Hammer Dynamics speaker. Have ... | |
| Guilty pleasure,Del Shannon,C.Baker etc. We listen to anything that tickles our fancy and that is the way that it should be. We invited two neighbors over (from our 8 unit building) to listen to a CD of Georgian folk songs. The ladies are in their 70's and landed in LA from Russia 8 year... |
