| components in your system Yes, a good tuner makes sense as well. I feel like I am losing on "Family Feud" at this point as I haven't thought of any of the logical choices on my own. | |
| Acoustic Energy Aegis One Speakers. Lpsforever: You may want to look into the Mapleshade Clearview Golden Helix speaker cable and their less expensive IC's as well. The speaker cable is $85.00/8ft pair or $115.00/12ft pair and the IC is $65.00. I use their more expensive digital IC ... | |
| Antique Sound Lab Amps I recently purchased an Audion Silver Knight 300b SET (7 watts) for Reynaud Twins and the combo sounds great. Dark, my Twins took another turn at around 400-500 hours and offered up additional low level detail. They seem to have pretty much levele... | |
| Power/Line conditioner Ton1313: Or check out the less expensive Monster HTS2000 which is "said" to sound better than the 3500 model. I purchased the HTS2000 model because of this feedback from the web. It was purchased new for $125.00, mail order. | |
| components in your system Mes: Not a problem, I am a big TH's fan starting from 1976 and used to have the "Big Suit" on vidio. It was TH's and Television at the time. I also used to look a lot like Byrne when I was younger and 25 lbs lighter and was once mobbed by a crowd ... | |
| Seeking Opinions on Stealth speaker wire Audibleguy: Talk with Pierre at Mapleshade and he will answer all of your questions. And now - back to the thread... | |
| Keeping cables off the floor Yes, as far as the speaker cables go, it has made a noticeable improvement in my system which has 17' speaker cable runs. I hang my cables from the bottom of standard book shelves with silk ribbon ties and run them across the bottom of a doorway b... | |
| Cumulative Effects of Cables? I have done it both ways (all silver, all copper and now I use a combination of pure silver and copper "micro" wires), there is really no exact right or wrong, IMO. I have never matched all cables (including the speaker and power cables) from one ... | |
| Acoustic Energy Aegis One Speakers. Try giving them at least 100 hours depending on how high the volume is. I would not play them at high volume for the first 200 hours or so. I have listened to them in the shops quite a few times and like them myself, great speakers at their price ... | |
| Cleaning cd players I also would like to clean my CD player soon and will follow this thread, so no advice on that, but what I use on my CD's are (i)clear (fusion 5) lens cleaning cloths from my eye doctor. They are formulated for specially coated lenses such as mine... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Lak: I'm glad that someone else has heard of them (the Hammer's) plus a personal reccomendation from a friend at that. I have listened to old Lowthers and found them to be too bright for most source material, IMO, but now understand that they have... | |
| components in your system I never thought of the source material and even that (for me) has gone with time or changed format. I no longer have reel to reel tapes or 8 tracks. I don't have much vinyl left (and nothing to play it back on). We still have quite a few cassettes... | |
| components in your system No Albert, it's a fruit woodie, Persimmon to be exact and it's never had to take a blood presure pill in it's life/existance. | |
| components in your system My stereo cabinet. It is approx. 195 years older than any of the other equipment and it looks great in the corner. It is an angle sided Tansu cabinet meant to be placed under a stairway or sloping ceiling. The rest of the stuff is living (with me)... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers If you have not already, check out Hammerdynamics.com and their $575.00 speaker kit (you supply the cabinet materials). Since you are considering the Bottlehead kits I will assume that you do not want to spend a lot of money. I have not listened t... |
