| Speaker Stands For the Sonus Faber Concertinos Just curious Wirschfield, which companies manufacture "killer" stands? | |
| Speaker Stands For the Sonus Faber Concertinos Hi Fullrun. I owned Concertinos for almost two years and enjoyed them greatly sitting on top of a pair of Lovan Imperial 2900 stands.The Imperial 2900s are 29" tall with a single slim, rectangular post that I filled with steel shot. They have a sm... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Good assumption Viggen. Actually, having no wife can be kinda dangerous with our hobby/passion. It's too easy to make a buy decision when we don't have to consider someone else. My last girlfriend thought my system was pretty cool sounding and loo... | |
| Kora Hermes- What valves do owners recommend? My Hermes came with Phillips tubes installed. I've only had the DAC two months, but during that time I've collected Siemens CCas, Siemens E88CCs, Tungsrams and Mullards. I just swapped the CCas in this past weekend and am letting them burn in, but... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Cool stable of cars Stealth. Especially the '71 Chevy pickup. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Hah, Viggen always trying to shift blame! Gotta watch out for this one Sherod. :)OK, it's 8am Los Angles time, I'm having my coffee, and planning on installing the three Cryo'd Audition PCs after a brief listen of my current set up. Then later in... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Those damn "buy" buttons, I can't seem to resist them.During break-in I've noticed big jumps in sonic improvement, then a plateau, then another big jump. I've had the cryo'd Audition Package for almost three weeks now, and we'll see if there are a... | |
| Are REL subs magnetically shielded? Hi Artemus. If your TV isn't a CRT, you may be able to place the speaker on or near the screen. I don't think rear projection TVs are affected by magnetic fields the way tube TVs are. So it may not matter where you place the REL in relation to the... | |
| Powering ProAc Response 2.5's Hmmm, this is all good to know. I'm using Blue Circle separates to power my little ProAc Tablette 50 Sigs, and they're a wonderful match. I can't afford to buy even used 2.5s, so I was considering tackling the 2.5 DIY project and was wondering if ... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Stbhorn that's great. It's funny, because for me I didn't notice much of a difference in bass, but experienced a huge improvement in soundstaging and clarity. The again, I haven't put any Virtual Dynamics cables or cords on my powered sub yet.It s... | |
| Bright / forward speaker cables. Very interesting Sean. I think it's important that people hear testimonials both positive and negative in order to make a more educated decision. It just proves how so much of what we use is system dependent. What are you currently using for speak... | |
| OZZIE RULES When I saw th e thread title "Ozzie", i thought this was a thread about the Nelsons. Oh well. I love watching the Osbournes. I could watch Ozzy empty [or at least try to] the trash all day. Ozzy rocks! | |
| Movie: Proof of Life I thought it was cool how they used "The End" at the BEGINNING of Apocolypse Now. A neat irony. | |
| Bright / forward speaker cables. Wow, Sean. I think you're the first person I've heard that found the Oval 9s to be bright sounding. Last year I was using DH Labs Silversonic T14 which I thought were too zippy, and after changing to Oval 9s much of that was alleviated. I guess th... | |
| Low Level, Nearfield Nirvana? Hi CW. I use ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures, which are small mini monitors and very my listening between nearfield and a bit further back. I don't know if there are any secrets to nearfield listening. I'm still learning myself.In general I prefer si... |
