| Buying new, but old speakers You are right Blkadr, the surrounds are rubber. I spoke with the dealer this afternoon and confirmed this. They are black, but hey, it's not like I can be too picky when it comes to old Castle speakers, especially ones that are in perfect shape.I ... | |
| Buying new, but old speakers Hi Elizabeth, thanks for the reply. I'm actually in Canada. The price to be paid is over half off MSRP. I'm not sure if we can post links here, but you can find a review of the Avon on Gramophone. Just type into Google "Castle Avon Gramophone" and... | |
| $500-$1000 to spend on a used CD player They don't come up for sale that often, but an Exposure 2010s or 2010s2 would make a fine player. I upgraded from a 2010s2 to a 35th Anniversary Rega Apollo recently. While I prefer the Apollo's sound, the Exposure more than held it's own and in f... | |
| Creek, Arcam, Cambridge - fullness and body Loomis, thanks for the suggestion of Singer Sound. They've got some fantastic deals. I do prefer dealing with a local dealer though, and I've got some items I can trade in. He usually gives good value for trades and it makes things simpler. | |
| Creek, Arcam, Cambridge - fullness and body Yes, the Audiolab does it - it sounds a lot more full than the Exposure. Which I like, but the Exposure brings out the low level detail in music better than the Audiolab and also seems to have just a bit more drive and musicality. I'm hoping to mo... | |
| Creek, Arcam, Cambridge - fullness and body I wish I could edit the topic title. I totally forgot about Simaudio, which this dealer recently added.Thanks for the suggestions so far. | |
| Adding Warmth and Balance with McIntosh 2105 I second the PMC recommendation. The new i series has very easy to listen to highs but they do not sound rolled off. Just really well done.I can't say what the older series' highs sounded like, since I've only heard the i. The + series (before the... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts I'm a huge GN'R fan, so it shows.May 2006 - the return of Axl Rose after five years out of the public eye at Hammerstein Ballroom in NY (they did four shows, I saw the second one)January 2010 - GN'R plays London OntarioAugust 2007 - Velvet Revolve... | |
| Best lines in a song Axl Rose, Guns N' Roses, has written some great lines. For me it's not just about a great line or two, but following an idea through an entire verse.A few verses from two songs...From Breakdown:Just like children hiding in a closetCan't tell what'... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Most of the bands named in this thread are nowhere near worst rock band ever. Sure, they may not be your cup of tea but that doesn't mean they don't have talent and haven't realized some of it. For example, I'm not fan of Rush, but that doesn't me... | |
| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. What exactly is meant by accuracy? Is it simply timbral accuracy? Is it the fleshing out of all the details in the music? Is it separation of instruments so that you can hear all those details clearly? Is it flat frequency response, and full range... | |
| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. The longer I'm at this the more I could care less.about neutrality.I want it to sound good to my ears at even the loudest volumes.I want my music full, rich and never thin and fatiguing. Full bodied and room filling are also a must.The bass can be... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Well, I bought an Apollo, 35th Anniversary SE (couldn't resist when I found out my dealer had a couple still left), and it failed the first day I had it! I played one song, hit STOP, and it wouldn't. Opened the lid, it kept playing. When the disc ... | |
| Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8 Well, there are a few reasons why I'm not jumping at this or that speaker just yet.I have some speakers to listen to first before I commit to anything. I've gone through many speakers this past year, and I don't want to buy another only to be diss... | |
| Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8 The ProAc Studio 110 is actually cheaper than the Dynaudio, and on par with the Paradigm. ProAc recently had a price drop, at least in this area. $1,300 or $1,400 I believe is the price I was quoted, while the Studio 20 is $1,400 and the X16 is US... |
