| ASC Tube Traps vs. Cube Tower Trap Hi Fpeel; I have not compared the two different acoustic tubes you mention, but I do have 5 11" dia. ASC tube traps and 3 15" X 4ft. panel traps. I like the ASCs because of their versatility; when one side faces outward all frequencies are absorbe... | |
| Tuning speaker / room response? Hi Njonker; first, it amazes me that you could import and show this graph here on Agon. 2nd, the graph itself is very interesting, and may well give me enough incentive to try doing what you did, as I have both the STPH CD 2 and a Rat Shack SPL me... | |
| Will tubes rock? .......major Typo above, Line 2 should be POWER 2, except for the last sentence which is correct. Sorry. | |
| Will tubes rock? Hi Pinetop; I feel like I've got to "tippy toe" here 'cuz for the most part I don't feel that a good tube amp can rock like a good SS amp can. I say this because I recently compared, head to head, a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 (110 wpc), and my McCorma... | |
| Room or Speaker what s more important? Hi Tireguy; It's almost always easier to change the speaker(s) than to change the room, not counting acoustic treatments of course. So, what really is important is to match the speakers to the room. If you have enough money you could match the roo... | |
| synergistic cables? Hi Steven; I also use Syn. Res. cables-- Signature No. 2-- sort of in the middle of their line, and they used to be Stereophile recommended. I also use their ICs and power cords. I personally believe that the highest value in cables, ICs and PCs i... | |
| California electrical shortage audio ......that should be 20-30 minutes. Sorry. | |
| California electrical shortage audio Cornfed; Yep, I pretty much agree with you re: leaving amps on. My amp does sound pretty good after only 20-30 of "on" time, but IMO it sounds even better if I leave it on for 2-3 days. This amp (McCormack DNA-2DX) automatically goes into a standb... | |
| CDR media part II Ramstl; that is great info.-- thanks for the posts. I hope you'll accept +2/+2 votes. Cheers. Craig. | |
| alon circe s Hi Lake; I've been looking for speakers in this price range too (used), I recently read a review that indicated that the Circe's would/could overwhelm my 14 X 22 room. That said, they could "work" but only if they sound good at low volume settings... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System I just did some quick calculations that showed I had about 14% of my 35K system in "wires". I believe in good wire, but also agree with Trelja in that I think excellent wire can be had without going too extremes. Where I think most of the high val... | |
| Conventional DAC Hi James; I agree with your premise. Cds are going to be THE dominent format for some years to come. And I put my money where my mouth is and last summer purchased a HQ 16/44.1 transport, but I got a DAC that will decode 24/96. and is upgradeable,... | |
| New Music vs. New Equipment Hi Onhwy; I've asked myself this question many times, and glad to see it brought up here. I can identify with your concern, and also the thoughts of the above posts. I have about 1,000 CDs (est. cost $15K), but I have about $30K in my primary syst... | |
| California electrical shortage audio Hi Hg; I'm in neighboring Oregon, so I have an interest in this issue too. Personally, I would rather turn my equipment off rather than have it receiving only partial power as in a "brown out". This is just my opinion. Having said that, I presentl... | |
| Preamp with Remote ? Sonic Frontiers Line 3 is excellent sounding, neutral, and has a great remote. Good Hunting. Craig. |
