SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Re: high level inputs vs low level-- I would check some hifi blogs about this. On whatsbestforum.com, the suggestion is that low level might be the better way to go. Personally I have not tried this out, but Kal Rubinson, who is a senior editor ... | |
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer I would check out REL's HT lineup. Obviously great subs, at a very reasonable price. After my Paradigm sub ($2000) died, I decided that I didn't want to spend that much (just like you apparently) on something that might die in a decade. The sub... | |
Mazzy loves Little Feat! Lowell George also produced "Shakedown Street" by the Grateful Dead. I'm a big Dead fan and huge Little Feat fan, but don't like this Dead album, except of course "Fire on the Mountain". | |
I Hate Moving I have a similar situation. I am moving out of state to a much smaller place (retiring). I have 18 pieces of original equipment, everything from a Thorens TD-160 turntable, to a Sansui 7070 receiver, to a Monitor Audio 5-channel speaker setup, t... | |
subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it forget the springs. all you need is the Auralex. | |
subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it all you need is the Auralex. the sub, including the feet, will sit on top of the platform. simple stuff. it keeps the sub from radiating onto the floor, which brings all kinds of issues, like rattling floor boards, etc. it works very well for ... | |
subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it hopefully you can fix the buzzing noise. but you would definitely benefit from having a Auralex Sub-Dude-II isolation platform for the sub. It isolates the sub from the floor. great, inexpensive ($60) product that works. | |
How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? Retire! And make sure that you have a room dedicated to music listening. I have a dedicated listening room that I blast music and then in the adjoining room watch sports (muted of course). It's bliss. And the wife doesn't mind at all. Because... | |
Small, Effective Subwoofers? Surprised that you would need subs for these speakers. Maybe you don't have the right amplifiers. | |
DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport Esoteric K-05XD will be available in a few weeks. Best CD tray mechanism on the planet, plus a DAC that is worth the likely $8K price alone. Both a high-end DAC and an incredible CD loading system for 8K, IMO the best $8K you can spend. Has digita... | |
DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport Personally, I would cancel the PS Audio transport order, and wait a few weeks for the Esoteric K-05XD. Arguably the best transport mechanism on the planet, with a DAC that is phenomenal. I think the MSRP is 8K. I was considering the PS Audio SA... | |
Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? Hegel H390 will get you there and more. And yes, you can get it for $4K. | |
best external drive for ripping CDs Melco D-100 is the best. Curious to hear from Hifi Rose RSA780 owners. Wondering if it is also as good, much cheaper at $450 vs $1200 for the Melco. | |
For SACD fans only ghdprentice "contemporary technology"? what does that even mean? I'm talking about using the Esoteric K-05XD (msrp $7500 or 8000) vs. the PS Audio Perfectwave SACD transport (msrp $6500) and the Holo Audio May DAC (msrp $5500) at a total cost o... | |
For SACD fans only ghdprentice I called this post "For SACD Fans Only" for a reason. SACD or CD playback (with the right system) will sound better than any streaming. And this from a review of the Esoteric K-03XD ($15,000) out of my price range, but not the forth... |
