| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise Yes, that totally explains the best approach to the problem in the kitchen. I'll opt first to place a floor mat of synthetic material under the refrigerator and then go from there. I'm also cogitating about placing free standing panels behind my e... | |
| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise Thanks Elizabeth,Primarily what I had anticipated but wasn't totally certain. The only difference is that I considered sheets of foam core and sound proof styrofoam being as it's light weight but now that you've mentioned it, so is felt. It looks ... | |
| What Can You Do With A Thorens? Yes, I'm referring to purchasing a cable that runs from the backside of the turntable with what I typically believe to be a DIN termination, to 2 RCA's and a ground wire which then plugs into the back of my ASR Mini Basis Exclusive. From the ASR p... | |
| What Can You Do With A Thorens? Thanks Hifihvn! I appreciate being guided in the right direction. I'm guessing however that a different phono cable might give me a noticeable improvement. I'm hesitant however about spending allot of money on a TD145, say any more than $400.00 fo... | |
| Internet radio stations that sound really good I don't know if they've already been mentioned but 2 stations;1) WDR3 out of Cologne Germany at 256 kbps2) BBC Radio3 via iTunes Radio at 320kbps 'so close yet so faraway'. | |
| Do I need a DAC? OK, the reason that I'd personally choose a DAC over a CD player is that my favorite radio stations are across the pond and I'm discovering that while local radio stations are compressing their signals, European radio stations are moving towards h... | |
| Audioquest colorado sound to bright I have a pair of Audioquest Columbia 72v running from my Thorens TT to an ASR phono stage and I am never fatigued by their performance. I'm about to replace my Grado mono cartridge with the Ortofon Cadenza Mono cartridge but plan to stay with the ... | |
| What's your profession? Age? I'm a male with a BFA & MA who's a 49 year old gallery contracted (otherwise published) painter, sculptor, and a pedagogue, and sometimes substitute teacher. As with artists in general, living as 'the other' lends itself easily to methods of c... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I'm using a totally upgraded ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive version blue and my digital source is an Ayre QB9 DAC with High Diamond interconnects and speaker cable. My analogue is an ASR Mini Basis Exclusive but only with a Thorens TD-145 turntable with ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I own a pair of the Quad 2905's and they have exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I bought them because I listen mainly to Classical music and more specifically, to chamber music or music for solo instrument. I was initially concerned t... | |
| Quad 2905 Thanks for the response and I'll take your advice concerning the Nordost. Its funny to say that money could be an issue with this system but that's precisely why it's an issue. | |
| What is Musicality? In terms of audio components, it seems as though many but not all audiophiles are attempting to create a live atmosphere and an emotional experience that is dependent on the quality of certain chosen electronics. So that in itself negates the argu... | |
| Quad ESL's-Which One's Are The Best? I'm buying a pair of the Quad 2905's. I'll be powering them with an ASR Emitter II Exclusive, an Ayre QB9 DAC and a MAC Mini.Thanks to all of those who posted comments! | |
| Quad ESL's-Which One's Are The Best? Thanks for the clue into the older Quad models. I'm assuming then that manufacturer reconditioned 57's, 63's etc... are the way into the earlier models and that even the new 2905's will need the same type of attention over time? | |
| Turntable Essentials? My collection has collected a great deal of dust which a good static brush should resolve. However, it seems as though more emphasis is put on cleaning than I had expected. My collection is in remarkable condition given that these records are abou... |
