| How to select and pair a preamp and power amp? If you can bi-wire your speakers, Look for a BAT VK-300SE integrated and pair with a BAT VK-220 (preferably with BAT-Pack cap upgrade). | |
| B&W 803 d3. Is a 16 x 12 size room ok for this spkr? That is roughly the size I'm using with my 804D3s. Shouldn't be a problem with the right room treatment (mainly first-reflection and echo suppression). 804s are 15 inches from rear wall. | |
| Replacement cable for Shunyata Hydra 6 power conditioner I use Shunyata Venom on my Hydra 8 V2 (may go to HC version some day). Sounds good to me... | |
| Alternative speaker suggestion to B&W 805d3 Neither Thiels or B&W diamonds are "notoriously bright". If the equipment feeding them is second rate and you play crappy recordings, both brands will show you the error of your ways. Accurate not bright. | |
| Alternative speaker suggestion to B&W 805d3 My 804D3 are not "bright". They're just incredibly good at revealing how lousy an album was recorded in the first place. Also, make sure your amp has enough power. | |
| Forgotten Film Scores I like the score in "Road to Perdition".BTW, watched "On the Beach" a few weeks ago and thought it (the movie) quite chilling. The premise was totally absurd i.e. "O.K. Humanity. We were stupid enough to use nuclear weapons and we're all going to ... | |
| Turntable dealer/set up percon Try contacting Brian Walsh at http://www.ttsetup.com.Brian used to haunt Audiogon under username essentialaudio but, for some reason, can't be found. Brian travels the midwest (based in North-West Chicagoland) and is a master at turntable setup. | |
| I don’t know how to place a Want to Buy post Just set it up like you are trying to sell and in the item description put "Wanted: XYZ Projector". | |
| What do/did you do for a living? @trentmemphis - I trained as a mainframe-programmer and spent most of my time fixing other peoples screw-ups and installing software packages from third-party vendors. Large companies don't want in-house developed software because the people respo... | |
| Increased interest in my Audio system during the fall The Fall is when they revealed the new equipment models. Also, cooler weather means dwelling indoors more and going to audio shops.This doesn't apply as much these days but probably ingrained in your internal rhythms. | |
| Should Equalizers make a comeback? Legacy Audio makes an EQ box that's supposed to be the cat's pajamas. https://legacyaudio.com/products/view/wavelet-dac-preamp-crossover/ | |
| Can neighbors remote impact your system functions? The house next to me used to mess with my ceiling fan all-the-time. My fan used RF (had a little antenna hanging out of the hub). | |
| Compare BAT VK-3000SE to Coda CSib VK-300SE was my main Ax for 10+ years. Magnificent piece assuming your speakers agree. Victor K. Is a brilliant designer. Moved up to VK-255Se partnered with VK-33SE. Just makes beautiful music and has a top notch user interface to boot. A VK inte... | |
