| 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... | |
| help with DAC w/current system The Mapleshade Double Helix digital cable is $120.00 new. I use it with the Bel Canto DAC and love the sound which is organic/analog like with fine detail and full bass. They have a less expensive version for $32.50 new (I have not tried this one)... | |
| Which Music CD-R is the best I am using Memorex CD-R 80 Digital Audio Recordable discs $20 for a 30 set (Office Max) and Maxell CD-R 74 Digital Audio Recordable (that are usually expensive, but a manager at a local store sold me 10 for $1 each). Both work well with a Pioneer ... | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack "Genghis Blues", blue me away. | |
| Cones/Bearings for CD player Sam: I do not yet have it installed, but the plan is to use the stock feet on my equipment resting directly on the shelf. Each shelf will be supported by four upturned brass spikes. This setup seems to follow the the basic advice given at Ken's we... | |
| Power Cord Challenge I could probably make it to Brulee's for a day trip (I am an hour South). If not I can lend a BMI Whale for the audition if it is held at Bruce's. If you get takers in your area though you could call it "The Grapes of Wrath Shootout". | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Kevin: I'll ship "Jingle" to you along with my HTS2000 (after I totally screw it up trying to add a male IEC plug and upgrade the sockets:-). On another note: I have been burning in a power cord by running my computer with it. Is this doing a good... | |
| Power Conditioning in Apartment Complex. JT: The units only cost $125.00 (so mo big deal as long as the place is still standing after I am through (my SET went to a "real" shop for repair and maintenance). I do not consider the mod work worth $65.00/hour, otherwise I would have sent it o... |
