| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker Von Schweikert, Lumen White, Volti. Would Harbeth be considered a boutique speaker manufacturer? Never heard a less than musically interesting speaker from these manufacturers. | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Opera - Claudia Muzio Rosa Ponselle Roberta PetersPop - Ruth Etting Ella Fitzgerald Judy Garland@ sondeknz The question was top 3, not a list of 90. I have 42,000 LPs/78s/CDs. I chose my top three from recordings dating back ... | |
| Poor Fritz I've met Fritz at several audio shows. He is a very nice man. I enjoyed listening to his speakers. I would compare them to Harbeths (smaller ones). I am not in the market for mini-monitor type speakers but I can recommend them based on what I... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? I propose Kenjit as the poster who best exemplifies your description. | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC I have a very analog, warm sounding EAR Acute CD player. I purchased a COS Engineering D2v after 15 years. It is probably a delta-sigma type. It has superior resolution. It was compared to the less expense H1 unit. The difference was the H1 had a ... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Oh, and Stillpoints under my equipment, especially my pre-amp which is custom made but had a dark, slow and mushy sound on it’s hard rubber cone feet. Townsend seismic sink under my VPI TNT turntable-essential due to VPI’s poor vibration control. ... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? @testpilot 100% agree. Unless cabling is considered equipment and not tweaks. In that case, Hallographs and SR HFTs are most cost effective and necessary acoustical room treatments. | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About I spent $160,000 in building my custom engineered listening room. My former $30,000 listening room which was not engineered but used some of my concepts (5.5" 3000 lb psi steel reinforced slab, 2X6 staggered studs on 8" plate every 8" dual 5/8" s... | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About @djones I tried taping my speaker cables 5' high to the rear wood wall. The result was brighter and thinner sound. Yuk! I tested various cable lifters and no lifters. There were marked differences, between 3% and 10% difference estimated. ... | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? @paulgardner If you budget can afford it, mostly inconspicuous Synergistic Research HFT products can help your acoustics with minimal visibility. I use them instead of large acoustic treatment panels on my front and rear walls. I use just four a... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Magic Eraser "sponge" for cleaning my Benz Ruby III cartridge. It polishes the stylus and costs under $1. I've been using it for 8 years now. That's a bargain. Other more expensive bargains is purchase of my two sets of speakers, the Legac... | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About I have a quazi-high end system. I experimented with cable lifters. I found that 1/2 round vibrapod/rubber-like balls under the cables benefited the sound the most. They eliminated vibration and elevated the cables 2" above the nylon carpeting ... | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? I had an EAR Acute 2006 CD player and Legacy 1995 Focus speakers. This year I upgraded to a COS Engineering DAC2+ ($5k) and intend to upgrade my speakers to a Von Schweikert VR9 MKII ($35K). In this case, I think the speakers will make a bigger ... | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings I have not heard an MSB or Lampizator DAC. There are a substantial positive reviews of the Lampizator's top $17.500 and $25,000 DACs that are considered the most musical. I've heard some DCS stacks in high end but not good sounding systems so th... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @millercarbon-I don't understand your comment concerning background music speakers. I assume that you were not writing about Von Schweikerts, Lumenwhites or Legacy speakers. My Signature IIIs in my second system kills the Elac Andante-no contest... |
