| Best monitor for female vocals? End where you started--get the Harbeth HL 5 Supers. For your room size and listening tastes I am confident you cannot do better. | |
| Review: Daedalus Audio Isolation Stand/Platform for DA-1 Barrelchief, great review. I have to say that it is hard to imagine the DA-1's getting that much better than what I'm hearing in my room--though I am interested now in what the stands might do. I was using the DA-1's with the rubber feet on my har... | |
| Guitar player? , What model do you own or play? Ibanez Artwood series acoustic. Started taking lessons at 40 and three years later still struggle--what a reality check! Went to see Cowboy Junkies last night and was happy to be able to pick it up and play a few of their songs for my own entertai... | |
| Amps, Cables and Current: A Question Thanks, Jeff. Point #1 is as I suspected. However, Point #2 I don't get. Can you put it in somewhat more layman's terms? And in addition, can you address why the Audience speaker cables do not present a problem handling the kind of "peak" output c... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I can't really add much more to the comparison I wrote a while back. Here is the link:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1130287258&openmine&zzDodgealum&4&5#DodgealumI would just reiterate, for your size room I fear ... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I had a pair of D25's in my system for a while. Good, though not great speaker and I don't think a very good value for the money. Most importantly, I think your room is much to small to accomodate them. Can't comment on the Dynaudio's however, giv... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Barrelchief, we need to talk. I'm very curious about the Odyssey Mono's. Can you discuss:1. What they replaced, why you made the change and what you heard when you made it?2. What preamp you are running with the Odyssey's and why you chose it?3. T... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Finsup....I guess I'm not clear on what exactly you are asking. My "journey" is a long one, spanning over 20 years in this hobby. I've owned Spendors (SP 100's and SP1/2's) and like them very much. The SP 100 is one of the best speakers I've ever ... | |
| LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ? Barrelchief--send me your contact information I lost your number! | |
| LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ? Barrelchief beat me to it--Ditto the DA-1's which provide excellent off-axis response. Went to a live concert yesterday and was reminded again how live music doesn't present a precise image--not sure why we insist on one with our hi-fi setups. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. After further inspection I believe you guys are right. I now see the set screws for adjusting the height of the entire assembly (so that you can make the fishing line parallel to the plinth) and the weight (so you can slide it along the shaft to a... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. Tfkaudio. Interesting. Either we have different anti-skate rigs or one of us is wrong. First, the weight on mine does not slide along the post--it is fixed in position closest to the fulcrum. It is immovable. If it did move the amount of anti-skat... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. The mechanical anti-skate has a thin piece of fishing line that attaches to arm opposite the one with the weight at the base. This arm has about five spaced indents meant to catch the fishing line so you can adjust the amount of anti-skate force b... | |
| Anyone heard Harbeth HL5s with Nuforce? Hey. Give Audio Research some consideration. I used a 100.2 and SP16 to drive my Harbeth Compact 7's with fabulous results. A little more expensive would be some of the more powerful Naim amps like the NAP 250. I wouldn't go lower than this with t... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. I went through the process with my Scout/Dyna 20XH and, like you, found that the wire twist was not enough to handle the HFNRR test disc, though I thought the table sounded just fine to my ear. But the neurotic audiophile that sometimes rears his ... |
