| Looking for speaker recs to go with Blue Circle Budrew, my Blue Circle gear is a step down from what you're running, but I've had great success running them with ProAc monitors. I get great detail, soundstaging AND musicality, especially in the area of female vocals and acoustic instruments. Yo... | |
| Review: Virutal Dynamics Nite Interconnect Mikec, you should give Rick Schultz at Virtual Dynamics a call, he can clear up any questions you might have about his product. I've been running his entire cryo'd Audition Package since the beginning of the year and during the summer upgraded the... | |
| What determines speaker distance? I agree with both the previous posts and would add that you should also consider experimenting with different degrees of toe-in.I own two pairs of ProAc monitors and their manual recommends toeing them in so they point directly at the listener so ... | |
| Have you had buyers/sellers back out of a deal? If anyone is referring to me regarding me not leaving feedback for the guy that didn't ship me the subwoofer after I waited three weeks, well I may have to go public with some information because it's been two months and I still haven't received a... | |
| Newbie System Question sort of long, sorry Jetson, I hope you don't end up like Buckingham because he certainly went from newbie to diehard in a few short months. Heheh. Did you happen to take a look at his virtual system? A lot of time, research, money and labor went in to it.OK, so you'r... | |
| Newbie System Question sort of long, sorry Welcome to Audiogon and the high end audio world Jetson!It's good that you know HIFI when you hear it, but the main thing is do you ENJOY HIFI when you hear it? The reason I ask this question is because in my opinion it's the goal of this hobby to... | |
| Sim Audio I-5 vs. new I-3---sonic differences? I owned a Moon I-5 for over a year and found it to be very well made, easy to use and integrated well with my subwoofer. Simaudio is also a great company to work with. However, I also was never able to get it to sound right with anything I tried i... | |
| Which Integrated? I have not heard the Unico, but being a hybrid design I am very interested in it. Such a design should give you a, smoother, more relaxed sound than an all SS setup. I owned the Simaudio Moon I-5 and Electrocompaniet ECI-3 and feel neither could m... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Sean my experience coincides with your advice. I am using ProAc Response 1SC monitors which probably extend down to 40Hz at the most. But I find I must set my Paradigm X30 to it's lowest setting of 35Hz or the excessive overlap at the crossover po... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Thanks very much for the response Rives. If I were to use two stereo subs set up on opposite SIDE walls would that be an example of what you're suggesting? Does it matter if they are downfiring or front firing aimed at each other? Because of space... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Peter, I would think having the additional ability to pick different roll off slopes would allow you to better blend the sub especially if you have a dip or a hump at or around the crossover frequency.A question to Rives. I've been thinking of bui... | |
| Q? about sub out from my HT processor. Yeah, that LE-1 crossover/amp is pretty darned expensive. The people at Revel told me that the Sub15 wouldn't sound good without the equalization controls found in the LE1. Also, Revel recommends placing the sub in a corner to load it up, and usin... | |
| Electrocompaniet ECI-3 vs Classe CAP-101 When I owned Sonus Faber Concertinos I also owned both the Electrocompaniet ECI-3 and Simaudio Moon I-5 integrateds.I must admit that during this period I had room acoustic and cabling issues, so my experience with these units isn't what I would h... | |
| Transport under 1500 new or used I'm using a Kora Hermes tube DAC with a Theta Pearl transport, and even with tubes in the path I don't hear or sense any filtering. In my system I feel the Kora is more open, detailed and refined than the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 it replaced. Plus having... | |
| proac 2.5 vs 1sc/sub I own both ProAc Response 1SCs and Tab 50 Sigs and find them to be very satisfying in my small room with or without a sub. It really depends on the music being played at the time, but I sometimes leave the sub off.I'm using an old NHT SW3P passive... |
