| Unusual Music Recommendation Great question. I also like alternative stuff, including Matthews and Reynolds. I'll have to check out "Live at Luther College". Can't say I have one "favorite" alternative album, but here a few that have always remained in the short stack since I... | |
| How to magnetically shield a speaker???? A thin sheet of any metal with relatively high permeability (or magnetic susceptibilty) should help resolve your problem. Mild steel is one option but may not be enough, depending on the strength of speaker magnets and proximity to the TV. If you ... | |
| California electrical shortage audio Chriskh - Thanks for toning down the rhetoric and for agreeing to do some research on the issue of oil & gas production in the U.S. Since you seemed skeptical of my post concerning the high level of drilling activity that's going on in the Uni... | |
| McIntosh MX132 W/ ML Aeris I I've lived with Aerius i's and reQuests, and I think I know what you're talking about: the ML's top-end can sound aggressive, etched, or a bit "overly-promoting" of the HF detail. If this is what you you're talking about, here are some suggestions... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Thanks for the advice and understanding Abstract7. As I mentioned in a previous post, I think it is important for people to post positive and negative experiences; only by considering a large sample of different experiences can one get a sense of ... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Abstract7 - I do not "feel cheated" as a result of ML's drop shipping policy. I WAS CHEATED by Martin Logan's failure to pay for a $350 shipping charge Martin Logan promised it would pay if I agreed to reinstate my order for ML speakers. Martin Lo... | |
| best used 5.1 dd/dts pre/pro? You can probably find a used Nakamichi CA-1 with 5.1 DD/DTS option for less than $1000 (or get a DD unit w/o DTS for $700-800 and have it upgraded for $200). I've seen a few up for sale recently. The CA-1 is well built, nice looking, good bass man... | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic Interesting how different people experience the same things so differently. The thing I've really liked about the electrostatics I've owned (in addition to their midrange clarity and lifelike soundstage) is their vivid "liveliness," yet Lindeman5 ... | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic "Complete satisfaction"? Admit it Albert - even you occassionally crave a little of that very deep and oh so satisfying wall-shaking, dish rattling bass that your magnificent cryo-treated, hot-wired Soundlabs just can't quite seem to pump out. May... | |
| what are the best 4 ohms speakers out?? Eantala - Perhaps I don't understand your question, but if I might ask: why is it that you want to maximize the power ("wattage") draw on your amp? Maximizing the power draw on your amp usually translates to more heat, more strain on electrical co... | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic Ljgj - your question was already asked and hopefully answered in the thread "Talon Khorus question" posted on 03-12-01. | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic Philefreak - I'm currently suffering from this dilemma as well. I currently have a pair of Martin Logan reQuests and a pair of Talon Khorus sitting in my listening room (despite the fact that I can't afford to keep both pairs). The reQuests and Kh... | |
| I m a beginner. Please help Dave - Welcome to the quest for better music. Your question is very broad and can't really be answered as stated. You'll need to provide more information for the people here to consider and comment on. For instance, what is your total budget for a... | |
| Talon Khorus question Macm and Kevin - I'm currently using Cardas Golden Cross speaker cables. I also have a pair of Talon speaker cables (can't remember what they call this cable, the Helix or something -- they aren't labeleled; each cable consists of ten separately-i... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? I find all these posts to be insightful. As I remarked above, every company probably has a bad day now and then, but if enough people say a particular company has treated them poorly, this would provide a more reliable indication of which companie... |
