| How Do You Clean Your CD's? I do like some of the others, I just lick them and then rub them on whatever T-shirt I'm wearing. Sometimes I notice they'll get little marks that will only come off if I use my bare fingernail. If I'm feeling tender I run some water on them and t... | |
| To Preamp or not to Preamp, that is my q Whoops, I didn't notice the way I worded it. I didn't mean for it to come out like that, but now I see what I said. I was careless with "gain." I just meant he probably wouldn't gain any improvements in sound, going with a passive unit since it do... | |
| To Preamp or not to Preamp, that is my q A preamp can filter out alot of RF garbage that many lower mass market cd players produce (if I said that wrong go to Van Alstine's sight and they say it right) so a good preamp can make a system sound better. "Passive preamps" are technically pas... | |
| Highest B/B Why don't you just BORROW something. If not that, go to ebay and you can find some 100wpc old receiver from the 70's that will be lucky to get two bids it is yours for $10 +shp. | |
| Sony electrostatic speakers japan only? It translates: "We have fooled you once again americans, these are really nothing more than bookends. At one point they were used so that Aibo the dog jumped over them during phase II of is testing." Actually, I think it just says they play up to ... | |
| need help with choosing right cables My advice was pretty bad. What you might do before you change any components, like another poster said, play with speaker positioning. Maybe try a pair of the acoustic imager foam rings to reduce diffraction if they fit on your speakers baffle, a ... | |
| Subwoofer Platforms or Isolation ??? Lovan builds the Jazz 600 a subwoofer/large speaker stand that stands 6" high sold at audio advisor. But for a downfirer I don't know if its a good idea: you'd still have to put some platform on top the stand. That's all I know. | |
| need help with choosing right cables Trip, are those monitor audio's essentaily the same in physical prowess to 5i's, and probably cost the same? I'll just tell you what I would do. I wouldn't buy anything that's not a minimonitor for under $1K. Floorstanders are exponentially more e... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" John Dunlavy strikes me as revealing part of the truth, enough of it to outdo everyone else, only to legitmize himself so that he can now charge $200 for his interconnects and even more for his speaker cable. At least he shows us some math, more t... | |
| Musical accuracy in subwoofers 10% distortion from a sub playing at a sound pressure level of only 70db is ridiculously high, assuming the sub is engineered for 30hz performance (alot aren't sadly enough, then again they aren't true subs), which shouldn't be a problem for the $... | |
| Musical accuracy in subwoofers I don't know what "timbre" in a sub is; its just alot of fluffy adjectives the audio world has because the world of mathematics is beyond these forums, its not practical that's for sure. A loudspeaker driver just moves in-and-out to a series of el... | |
| Looking to Buy My First CD Transport Gunbei, try to wrangle a in home trial for a day with a high-end transport (maybe from dealer or even a friend) and compare it to any basic cd player with a digital out. Do it blindfolded a/b fiddle around for an hour or too and see if you really ... | |
| Unbelievable Solid State Amp at 2-3k ran Try a Van Alstine Fet/Valve 350hc or 550hc. The bass on those is really tight, no overhang. Its really clean down low, you can hear the texture in the bass. www.avahifi.com They have a return if it doesn't work for you. | |
