| Dedicated Audio Room Lighting Ideas? Z, You seem to be thinking it out well; don't forget the good 'ol floor standing lamps which can be attractive and highly effective! Or a small coffee table with a lamp on it near the listening position for reading, etc. I used a Lutron "Spacer" s... | |
| Dedicated Audio Room Lighting Ideas? Zargon, you said: Before closing up the walls in my new dedicated audio room...If you have a choice in how you will finish your ceiling, you may want to do a drop ceiling, with a solid ceiling hidden underneath. That's what I did, and the results ... | |
| What DAC can improve REGA Saturn? Better check into a seriously good digital cable, too, or else you'll be potentially wasting your time with the DAC. On a very good system, the digital cable can have a large effect on how good the DAC sounds. As with any other part to a hi end sy... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 Mrtennis, I'm assuming you're referring to the "8A". Yes, in my review I describe the differences between the 8A and 8B in detail. I was able to conduct the listening tests in my room after changing the tweeter to upgrade it to the 8B. The change ... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 Last month my review of the E.T. LFT-8B was published on Dagogo.com where I discuss the upgraded tweeter on the speaker. It's now much more smooth and less irritating on the high end than the older version LFT-8A. It has a global effect on the spe... | |

| VonSchweikert VR4JR vs Magenpan MG 1.6 It sounds like wretched excess(ok, it IS wretched excess) to most people, but if/when the circumstances allow, it's wonderful to own both a planar and a dynamic speaker system. Both types have such unique properties and presentation that I find I ... | |
| VonSchweikert VR4JR vs Magenpan MG 1.6 Should consider the larger Eminent Technology LFT-8B's. If there's room for Von Schweikerts or 1.6's then there's definitely room for LFT-8B's! I recently reviewed the LFT-8B on Dagogo.com, and in that review I call it the "MaggieVandy" for its co... | |
| product you use for dusting equipment My wife told me to try the Swiffer duster. I was exceptionally leery of any dusting device which might scratch the highly mirrored effect of the top smoked Lexan on my Pathos Classic One amps. The swiffer was perfect - got into absolutely the most... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Sigs tweeter too high I believe it was Timrhu, from the community here, who gave me a very good idea once how to protect wood floors from damage. it may work for you in this case to lower the speakers. He suggested I find carriage bolts (with the rounded head) and use ... | |
| Power Cord Revelation Quick, GET JAMES RANDI IN HERE! :)Welcome to the "Power Cable Club"! | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Mrtennis, Betting, like other forms of gambling, is a fool's game. I don't gamble. You'll have to find someone else to pad your ego. Save your money. Have your wife conduct the test, then she can report the results here! :) And if you did well, I'... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all My take on Mike F.'s acceptance of the Randi challenge, and what it means for the Advancement of Humanity:Much will hinge on what Components are used. A $5k system would prove incredibly difficult to distinguish which cables are used, whereas a $5... |
