| How to audition subwoofer? This is a tough question since the listening room plays such an important role. I have found that the better subs have the most controls i.e. an excellent array of crossover points to blend with the main speakers. I have also found that there is a... | |
| cleaning Mac amplifier? I have used simple rubbing alcohol and a cotton cloth with good results. Make sure the cloth is 100 cotton since polyester blends can cause scratches. | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase After 22 years of marriage you get to experiment with different techniques. I did go down the road of deceit. That path is a big mistake since she pays the bills. My new method is to put aside some funds that come into me directly (business expens... | |
| newbie seeking stereo system advice Sean,Welcome to the endless audio journey to find musical perfection. I have completly changed my system over the last two years via this site. One thing that I learned is that I will never buy a piece of new audio gear again. I have purchased dem... | |
| SUB - Confuse? I don't know too much about the other subs mentioned. I have a REL stadium III which I really like. I would agree with Ritteri on the point of flexibility relative to the settings. I changed main amps a few weeks ago and was glad the REL could cro... | |
| CD Players $1,000 - $1,500 US - any info on Talk? You might want to consider a used player such as the Cary. I compared the Cary 303-100 directly to the Rega models and it was clearly better in openess, soundstage, bass response and detail. I bought mine used here and will never buy a new piece o... | |
| Classic McIntosh sound? BudrewCompared to my Herron tube pre amp and solid state mono amps the McIntosh gear is not as good. I don't have that much experience with the new Mac gear and like I stated my Mac gear was old. The Herron equipment is more open, has better place... | |
| Classic McIntosh sound? Hello,I owned the same Mac gear since 1976. (C28 pre amp and 2205 amp) and have just upgraded to Herron equipment. The Mac is built like a tank (only one trip in 25 yrs. to service for current upgrades from service bulletins). The sound is warm, l... | |
| I just sold my cd player what should i get? Also consider a used Cary 303 player. I listened to the Linn, and Rega gear and for my system it was a better player. | |
| JM LAB A good question. I use a high quality auto polish such as Zaino Bros. The most important part is the cloth you use. Anything with ployester in it will put fine surface swirls/scratches in the finish. I use those small soft cloths that are used for... | |
| New Subwoofer vs Bass traps. Hello,The crossover at 50hz is way too high for your new speakers. Are you shure you really need a sub now? If so, you will need one with a flexible and low crossover point. I have a REL Stadium III which I crossover at 34hz and my mains only go t... | |
| Newby problem with hum I had a ground loop/hum problem that was evident in my audio set up. Mine turned out to be the TV cable line. A simple test would be to disconnet your cable TV from the source or wall connecton and see if the problem goes away. I put a filter on t... | |
| My Phish is Dead Cary it or Proceed to new Planet Hello,When I bought my Cary 303 I did a direct A/B comparison to the Rega planet. It wasn't close. The Cary was more well defined, had a bigger sound stage and a tighter and lower bottom end. I also compared it to the Linn and Rotel products but n... | |
| Need a center channel speake for KEF 107 surrounds Hello,Have you considered the KEF model 100 center channel? I was using it with my KEF 107's and it blended very nice with the 107's. | |
| 2 REL Storms or 1 Stadium? Hello,I had the same question a while back. I am using the JM Lab Mini's and based on the recommendation from Sumiko I will be using a single Stadium III rather than two Storm III's. I haven't got the Stadium yet....but look forward to that day! |
