| problems with musical fidelity A3cd Is this MF's tube package? If so, you're lucky. A friend of mine had that -- it resigned from service 1 month down the line (purchased new).Good luck with repairs! | |
| Which Tube integrated for Virgo? Have auditioned the Virgos with a short-list consisting of KR, Jadis (Reference -- see Trelja), and Pathos (the twin towers or something like that). The results were very good. IMHO, the KR came first, Jadis ref 2nd, Pathos a close 3rd. I audition... | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Krjr, haven't heard the Absolute -- but am intrigued. Where can I find out more about these???Cheers | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Detlof & all other contributors, may I suggest we try digging a bit deeper, now that we seem to have completed the first round? We could test the descriptions mentioned above hands-on (ears-on), and see if we can't take this further. True, it ... | |
| To REWIRE or LET BE: a speakers question Thanks everyone! Advice well heeded & needed! On a more personal note, thank you all for responding so fast and making me *feel*, yet again, part of a community...I'll post Gen Tech's answer to my question when I get it..Cheers! | |
| Sweat spot? Sp. placementt again Hi Redkiwi, no I haven't -- just tried a higher chair. Will do so ASAP. BTW, don't you mean ..."I *can* see the problem."? She's the one complaining about "can't single out those cellos" or, "where are Hutchens' (INXS) feet on this track -- can se... | |
| Speakers with built in sub any good? Artemus, don't think the Step will fill yr. room. I second Doug's suggestion (Thiels). In my experience, they need very careful positioning, otherwise U get too MUCH bass -- but yr room looks fine on screen for them. Also, Thiels are power guzzler... | |
| Holographic Imaging- Cable suggestions? Adam, have U reviewed speaker placement after changing cables? Maybe that can help -- before U invest extra money. Re, cables: to the ones proposed above, I would add bearlabs -- very neutral sounding, no perceptible "colour" added to my system. | |
| Speakers with built in sub any good? Speakers w/ built in subs that sound good to my H ears are pricey (Genesis, Audio Physics, etc). Agreeing w/ sugarbrie regarding a separate sub, I'd add another option: Audio Physic's "Step" + sub. BTW, how big is the room?? | |
| Sweat spot? Sp. placementt again Thanks everyone! The problem in my room was indeed in the 1st reflections on the ceiling and 1st & 2nd reflections on the side wall. We damped the ceiling simply by placing a carpet covering the 1st reflection point for both speakers (it looks... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Great idea, Dekay! Artemus, grab it! Have heard a X-tone and it wasn't bad... easy to use, too (U can switch back & forth). Sorry, it didn't come to mind.Greg | |
| Where s the bass? May I second chas' and Jadem6's posts above. Had similar experience and found this to be A)less other frequencies, B) related to 1st reflection damping on side walls & ceiling (speakers in conflict with room..). The info JD suggests will help.... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Enjoying music is what counts -- so do try Bruce's suggestion before U spend mega $ on the likes of Cello. While you're at it, also try the cdp w/out isolation; it might help the bass...And don't worry about purists: we're all in this for the musi... | |
| Sensitivity Issues Eleonida, excellent afvice, IMHO!. A few rules of the thumb waiting for cognoscenti. The Ohm load doubles (or halfs, as it were) per 3 db rating. I would pounce on 91 vs 88 dbs (the difference could mean a bigger amp, try getting THAT past yr wife... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Artemus, you cannot compensate for what is not on the S/W in the first place so adding a tone control will distort your sound, rather than fix it. If it's not there, or it is but the system is not picking it up, you can't add it after the fact... ... |
