| Anyone here using vintage speakers? Speaking of B&W...I forgot about the speakers playing right behind me...B&W DM1200 monitors from about 1983. | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? 1978-ish Snell Type Ai's. Great sounding speaker...with every improvement upstream their performance just gets better.. | |
| I hope break in is true Sean,Thanks for your thoughts. With regard to your cabling comments, what would you suggest to break them in? I've heard mention of "cable cookers" though haven't looked beyond that to understand what they are. Regarding the center imaging...my im... | |
| I hope break in is true Well....I received the disc the day after I ordered it from music direct. I popped it in and ran it for a week through the electronics & about a third to half the time through the speakers also. The level is set via the first & fourth trac... | |
| need advice on refinishing speakers. Do's & Don'ts I don't see any reason you would need to take it down to the mdf. The person that does the re-veneer will have a preference I'd guess. New veneer just needs a good, smooth, clean surface to adhere to. If you have ash or oak (open and/or rough grai... | |
| need advice on refinishing speakers. Do's & Don'ts I've been involved in things like this...it's a simple box...have it re-veneered if the speakers are worth it. You'll have a very wide pallette of woods to choose from and they'll look MUCH better when you're done (new, in fact). | |
| Sergio Mendez, what album title for this song? foster,If memory serves isn't that the green album cover with the babe & whip cream on it? I first listened to the album (vinyl) back in the early 70's when I was a stout young lad..the cover caught my attention...the music was good to. I thin... | |
| "Burn-In" quietly? I'm undoubtedly going to feel foolish for 30 seconds or so for asking this question...but rather than disconnecting the speakers.....why not just turn the volume down? | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Bob_reynolds,"...tube designs are inherently noisier than solid state. Tube designs start out with that disadvantage. It may be possible that the top dollar preamps can overcome that disadvantage, but why spend all that money when solid state is a... | |

| Many reviewers will lead you down the wrong path. Onhwy61, I'm with you. If this guy is 55 and is just now learning that perhaps a reviewer doesn't have his/her reader's best interest at heart...we living in a cave or what?Any commercial enterprise is about 'moving product'...whether it be words ... | |
| Best low cost speaker cables for my system? Stu,If you look into Canare 4s11 you'll be looking into a star quad design. 4x14 refers to 4 conductors at 14 gauge each. | |
| How flat should my room response be? This is what one guy did that was where you're at (me too for that matter). This was a home theater room, but you'll get the idea.ArticleYou don't have to do the entire project at once, I'd start with bass traps and work your way up as time & ... | |
| What do you think of the DIY Cat 5 speaker cables The only real test is to give them a try. The price of admission is reasonable. Until someone..anyone..can offer a physical explanation of how/why different cables do what they do & how this relates the changes in the sound of a system then, b... |
