| Who's to blame for the Grain?? I agree with Labtec to a certain extent, noone is going to get it right with one upgraded component, no matter who you are, if you're starting out with some not so good stuff.You're going to have to upgrade each piece, and possibly, such as is com... | |
| Who's to blame for the Grain?? I agree onthe Tube integrated.A Jolida that doesn't use el34 tubes will give you the bass (mostly) that you, no doubt, crave.I've never owned Jolida, but their all tube amps are super for teh $$.There's several on the goN right now.What's up with ... | |
| Who makes the least expensive Tube Pre-Amp? MY only advice to our "host" was to try a tubed preamp.I think, for the same dollar, you get better sound from tubes than SS. Maybe solid state starts to sound better once you get beyong your Bryston, perhaps toward some upper end Levinson or Rowl... | |

| In wall power cabling- for Apartment Dweller OK, 4yanx, in your opinion, will dedicated power lines to my box sound worse than having all my gear AND all other outlets and lights, fans, etc, on the same circuit?Maybe you'd agreee that I should just get a walkman?!?!Obviously, there is someth... | |
| In wall power cabling- for Apartment Dweller Ok, I live in a house that I rent, not an apt complex.Thanks. | |
| Who's to blame for the Grain?? I started out like you.I had Polk speakers, a Sony ES receiver, and a cheap-ass sony CD.I added a Parasound HCA 1000A amp, and used the sony as a preamp. Better sound.At some point, I bought a Parasound CD player, to replace the Sony. Better sound... | |
| In wall power cabling- for Apartment Dweller THanks guys.My inquiry was directred at what in-wall cable to use.I was planning on just running 2 lines, 1 analog (TT, phono preamp, and Integrated amp) and one Digital (CD, SACD/DVD/CD). I don't have any monster amps, should I just get 2 15 amp ... | |
| 'lateral' move - help Per the Bass hump, of course, you can never get perfect sound in a bad room, but some careful moving will minimize the bass problems. Try listening to one speaker at a time, in an assemetrical room, chances are, it is coming from one speaker. Try ... | |
