| Room Treatment Talk to the folks at GIK Acoustics. They'll advise over the phone. Their wall mounted 244 bass trap panels behind speakers and 242 panels on side walls and on wall behind listening position made a big difference in my room (similar dimensions as y... | |
| McIntosh to be on How It's Made this Thursday Watched it. Kind of underwhelming, unfortunately, although production of a transformer was kind of interesting. Certainly not a full tour of a McIntosh factory. The entire segment lasted less than 10 minutes. Thanks for the heads up though. | |
| USB DAC CDP: EAR Acute MkIII or Marantz SA11S3 If you can, audition a TEAC CD3000. USB DAC (+ Coax in) CD/SACD player. No DSD (which might never matter). As a brand, TEAC ain't as prestigious as others but you might be pleasantly surprised by the music and the price. See review on Audiophilia ... | |
| In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later Chazro - Capital Theatre in NJ? Saw Dire Straits there years ago. See YouTube for Life & Times of Steve Mariott (sp?). Great retrospective on him and HP. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report 2 very different recordings....Slowdive, "Just For A Day"Ivy, "Long Distance" | |
| In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later Foster 9 - Have been a fan of Yes for decades now. Agree with you very much on YesSongs. The crowd noise certainly brings a level of energy to it. For me, the beginning using the excerpt from Firebird Suite is pure genius. Who else would think to ... | |
| Upgrade from B&O system to ? for large bright room Tucco - if there's any way you can do it, budget for some room treatments. Could you do large area rug(s) on the floor and some panels on the walls? DIY as Kijanki suggests or get in touch with GIK (or another vendor of your choosing. GIK helped m... | |

| Special artists never mentioned before on Agon Don Sugarcane Harris | |
| Speakers Distance from Wall Phil - The system relocation was associated with a basement refresh that did have me concerned. Went from full berber carpet on thick pad flooring and acoustic tile ceiling to engineered hardwood floor and drywall ceiling. YUP there were echoes! H... | |
| Speakers Distance from Wall Running Totem Forests in a space that is ~20' wide by ~29' long. Speakers are 5-6' from sidewalls with rears 3' from short wall behind them . Speakers are positioned about 5'6" apart. I sit ~8' from them. PLENTY LOUD and great imaging since moving... | |
| A source for maple blocks Hey Ebm...would your reply be clearer with an exclamation mark (or several) between Maple & SYMPOSIUM? Had Maple!!! SYMPOSIUM is much better....Is that what you are saying?Either way, what's SYMPOSIUM? | |
| A source for maple blocks Check out Timbernation too. | |
| Suggest SACD Player No Video, New or Used, $1kish? Hey Melmoth...appreciate the additional comments. I was really heading towards Marantz myself. Their stuff looks beautiful in and out and I read some great reviews on several of the pieces. W/respect to R&D there's certainly a well regarded Ja... | |
| Suggest SACD Player No Video, New or Used, $1kish? I'm a very satisfied owner of a TEAC CD3000. Great frequency extension (at both ends) + air, imaging and sound stage. The USB to DAC input is very good too. It will take some time to "burn in" (use an XLO burn in CD). I also found it to benefit fr... |
