| I need more cowbell.... Try a Naim CD player, that'll get the system going. They're alive, I tell ya. Way back when, I compared my Naim CD3.5 against the Meridian 508.24. I found the Meridian put a sheen on the music. It was beautiful with classical, especially choir, bu... | |
| My first real hi-end audio system Please advise Your dad is doing a good deed. Do you think he gave the stuff to you so you could just resell it? I think if he would have known, he would have traded it in for his upgrade. Why don't you ask your dad what he thinks of your plans? Listen to almost... | |
| Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time I second "Led Zeppelin II" and add Radiohead's "The Bends" and Lou Reed's "Transformer." | |
| Looking for a guide to best classical recordings There are Penguin guides, a great BBC guide, and an NPR guide that covers the basics, but before buying take a look at these sites. I find them pretty helpful.http://www.classical.net/music/welcome.htmlhttp://music.pauljames.de/music.htmlThe latte... | |
| Proac 3.8 or Sonus Faber Cremona I think Fletcher-Munson has a role in what you're experiencing. Other than a separate subwoofer, as Aniwolfe suggested, allowing you to control the bass volume separately, or a tone control, I don't see a solution.I also hazard to guess that the o... | |
| Proac 3.8 or Sonus Faber Cremona The Concentra and the Proac 2.5's or D15's sound great together. But it might help if you share why you want to change speakers. What are you looking for that you don't get with the EAII (which BTW,I also love with the Concentra)? | |
| Best band of the 80's The Police anyone? | |
| Scratched discs - what do to? But I DON'T wonder. Been living in the New York area all my life and presently live in NOLITA so I know it well. | |
| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? A 45 of the Carpenter's "Top of the World" when I was about 11. First album was "Abbey Road". I had about 100-120 albums when I went off to college. My parents sold them all at a garage sale for 50 cents a piece a couple of years later. AAAAAARRGG... | |
| Scratched discs - what do to? Marakanetz, do you REALLY wonder how sealed CD's can cost $2-3 when sold on the street? | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Piano vs. ProAc 2.5 Speakers You may be preferring the amp as Artmaltman says. I've heard the Meridian+Concentra (an excellent combination btw) with both the Proac and Sonus Faber GP, and I definitely preferred the Proac. The SF sounded a little hi-fi'ish to me. On the other ... | |
| Best integrated for under $7000 Jeff Rowland Concentra II | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound I second the Meridian 508.24, and add any of the Naim players. | |
| Digital Front End.. help please I'd check out the aforementioned Meridian 508.24 (it is really smooooth) and the Naim CD5, or the older CD3.5 with a Flatcap power supply. I audiotioned both makes (508.24 vs. 3.5) a while back (Aerius driven by a JRDG Concentra). If I only listen... | |
| Best CD Player under 2k ? Second the vote for a used Naim CD3.5 (especially with a Flatcap) or CD5. |
