| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I would have to agree with the "call it a Christmas/birthday/special event"purchase that shouldn't have to happen more than a couple of times a year...tops. -especially if it's a considerable change. I've been caught too many times by my [complete... | |
| BEST SUB FOR MUSIC It sounds like you're obviously being overwhelmed here with the REL responses... but I have to join the party too. I've got a Stadium II which I absolutely love and couldn't possibly be without, now that its spoiled me so... I've used it with Mart... | |
| Speakers for small room,near field I've read about the Krix,but haven't heard them. I will also agree with the [Audio Physics],either the Sparks or the Tempos. Both are exclnt. near field and also do well if you ever have more room. Sounds like your entire soundspace might prefer t... | |
| Tube Preamp shoot-out I'm a big S/F Line 3 fan.. I've got one and love it. Yes on the HT pass thru, yes on the most outstanding remote both ergonomically and feature laden,yes for a superbly neutral sound (tailor your system w/other equip. or accessories...) and yes fo... | |
| which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....? I'm auditioning a BMI Eel Reference custom at the moment on my Rel sub and it's outstanding. A great value for the money, and I can only imagine what the Whale must be like. Deeper, tighter , beautifully open and involving,this Eel is an exception... | |
| Positioning and Listening distance Take a listen to the Audio Physics, the Pro-Acs,and whatever your closest audio stores display.... work your way "outward" from there? Good luck,happy hunting. | |
| Positioning and Listening distance Let me fix the confusing last few sentences above. When I say listening seat just a little more, I mean From the Speakers [in an almost equilateral triangle].I use the RPG's in the center behind the spkrs.(just one 2'x2'piece),then 2 per side {ver... | |
| Positioning and Listening distance I too am a small room,near field listener (how does 9'8"x13',8'ceiling sound?)I really had to do some speaker auditioning before I found one that capably worked.I was also not willing to totally limit myself with one that wouldn't work in a more "... | |
| Stacking power amps mono blocks You can also try a couple of very quiet running fans...I've rigged 2 three inch cooling fans to blow across the top of each of my VTL monoblocks (they're on their own shelves above each other). I don't actually run them when I'm listening, but for... | |
| Best Buy Preamp SF 3SE or BAT50SE Hello Lew4,I was also hoping to hear the SF Line 3SE configured with some new or other equipment but disappointed not to see it there. I was told by the Anthem room(SF's "entry level") that all's well at SF, they just decided to keep pushing their... | |
| Best Buy Preamp SF 3SE or BAT50SE I have yet to hear the BAT50SE, but decided against it mainly because it was less flexible and only accepts balanced in and out. The SF Line 3 SE has both balanced and single ended ins and outs. I also liked the incredibly beefy power supply,super... | |
| VTL MB 125 I've got em, and I love em... I put 1000hrs. on the original equip. Sovteks, then recently changed to a complete new set of Teslas (the Sovteks were still in great shape). There's more openness now, and a bit more of that natural richness I had be... | |
| Changing Amps?? Are you Sure?? Mars is getting crowded...but it takes awhile to get there.For me,I've only just recently landed. If the words "obsessive,compulsive,and excessive"are any indicators of addiction then I am a bonafide equipment junkie from the mid 80's to today. Be... |
