| SACD Dominates Recommended List Drubin:I feel that most of us are waiting for exactly just what you say, a volume/choice of SACD source material (software). I myself have an outboard DAC that I enjoy the sound of, so standard CD playback is not a concern as long as the SACD play... | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear Bye Steve: See you on the other side. | |
| Rogers LS3/5A Replacement Recommendation Thanks Paul: I didn't mention the Trente because I did not audition them (out of fear:-) and the lowest I have ever seen a pair offered at was $1800, think they are usually around $2000 used right now. | |
| Rogers LS3/5A Replacement Recommendation I owned your speakers (the Rogers) from the late 70's through the mid 80's (I do regret selling them) but now am happy with a pair of Renaud Twins, which retail for a little more than half of your stated budget. They are exceedingly musical. Had I... | |
| Speaker Placement Intersting Sam: My speakers ended up with non symetrical placement that was arrived at through trial and ear. The left speaker is 21" from the front wall and 6' from the side wall. There are (almost) floor to ceiling standard bookshelves directly ... | |
| Marble to place speakers on? Kevint: Do you mean placing the marble between the floor and the stands? I have found a general belief in the forums that stands need to match the type of floor that they are used on. Heavy massive stands for floors that have very little give (suc... | |

| What s in front of your chair? I like the barber chair idea. Mine (my barber) is just a block away and perhaps I could talk him into cutting my hair in the living room. That way I could listen to music in between snips. In regard to the nose, mine is pretty big and I also have ... | |
| Pass Aleph-3 questions David: Other than my lengthy off forum reply, there are certain speaker cables that give a boost to the area of sound that you describe (upper midrange). I have found that some of the lower priced Kimber Kables that I have tried have done this in ... | |
| What s in front of your chair? Elwood: Eyeglasses do change the sound considerably (not for the better, IMO). I always take mine off when doing other than casual listening. Think about it, you are creating two areas of reflection two or three inches from the ears (depending on ... | |
| Perfection? Tireguy: I have rarely experienced what you describe with music playback and then only with the human voice. Live I have gotten it from odd beats (such as good fifths played on the drums), voice of course and on rare occasions from combinations of... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Thanks Albert. I don't usually listen to much Jazz, but would love to relive this music. I am listening to a pianist tonight by the name of Evgeny Kissin. I'm on my second time through the disc and he is a very talented. I picked it up used withou... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings I listen to Dudley Moore's "Songs Without Words" for an occasional mellow piano fix. I used to have an album in the 70's called "Keith Jarrett Live at the Blue Note" that I liked (or so I thought), but now wonder if I imagined it (or have confused... | |
| APC Line R 1250, Is it Hazardous? This is the reply that I recieved from APC technical support: The Line R is purely a line conditioner. The Line R1250 has a load capacity of 1250 Watts. It's got boost and trim to step up low voltage and trim high voltage. The Line R also does not... |
