| I need shipping advice I would recommend ANYONE other than UPS. The last shipment I had 110 pound speakers sent to me through them. One has a hole in the speaker cloth and four impact marks in the side. On the other they destroyed the speaker grill and actually managed ... | |
| DVD player for 200 There a Pioneer DV-343 available from Amazon for $150.00, decent enough for a non-progressive scan DVD player and it can always be modded later by Dan Wright or Stan Warren, if they are interested in better sound. | |
| Transistor pre & power amps. Are they any good? No Edle, there are people with both solid state and tube equipment here, but the tube versus solid state controversy is one of those religious topics probably second only to cables and asking a question like you did, categorizing an entire class o... | |
| Burn In Time for TruthLinks Thank you everyone who took the time to respond. They've finished the first stage of burning in (there was an interruption), and they sound excellent. They did go through a period of darkness which would have had me concerned without your input. W... | |
| Transistor pre & power amps. Are they any good? Heh, good one cfb! | |
| looking for good amp 5channel or 7channel The Bryston is another great amp, which comes with a twenty year warranty. We could probably be more helpful if you listed your system configuration, particularly your speakers, since synergy is everything.Also, what are you planning to use the sy... | |
| looking for good amp 5channel or 7channel Limiting the scope to your original questions, I think it really depends on what you want out of your system. I went from using the power amp from a Denon 3030 to using a Sunfire Cinema Grand and the difference wasn't huge with low quality input, ... | |
| Burn In Time for TruthLinks Well, quite honestly, I wanted to avoid repeating a previous mistake, so the 30 hours was the important number. In that mistake I wound up dragging my 110 pound speakers all over my living room for two days, and measuring them everywhere since the... | |
| The "Great Ones" are coming down in Price You might also consider a Sunfire Theater Grand, I have seen them as low as 2500 new (though it was a drop ship place), and they have had a policy of allowing their customers to upgrade to newer models for much less than buying a new unit. I hear ... | |
| Burn In Time for TruthLinks Thanks everyone, I will stay away a bit longer :-). | |
| Huge difference in sound : Spikes vs. Vibrapods Your personal preference should probably be the judge. If you want to test which is closer to flat response, get a Radio Shack SPL meter and a test CD and measure it. Warning: The Radio Shack meter is somewhat off, but Sean published a list of the... | |
| Interesting article on musician's brain waves... Seriously, after reading the article, it was pretty interesting, too bad it was so short, I would have liked a few more details! | |
| Interesting article on musician's brain waves... Let me guess, there are no brain waves!Sorry, spent too much time working with and as one... | |
| Speakers to match Carver I am using the Sunfire Cinema Grand to drive Legacy Classics in a vertical biamp configuration, and I love the sound. My room is much bigger than your's though. In my room, I am down about 4 dB at 20Hz so I really don't feel the need for a sub woo... | |
| Audio at 54 Khz by Tannoy There is interesting if rather controversial research which showed that even though humans can't usually hear over 20K there were signs of activity being generated in their brains when they were exposed to frequencies over 20K. A number of people ... |
