| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? I think it depends on what kind of music you listen to and how you like it reproduced. If it's full scale symphonic or any genre with a big sound, a sub will add depth and realism to the presentation. You also need to be able to match and integrat... | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required Loose,Yeah, it sounds like the Rotel may not be the culprit here. You did mention that this particular room sounds a bit dead, so that may be one reason this system lacks life. That said, my listening room is packed with stuff and is by no means a... | |
| Granny says heah. All you have to do now is to just keep your hands in that position and let Elly May do the rest! | |
| Best way to A/B speakers...... An alternate method would be to set up identical systems in two different identical rooms, the only difference being the speakers.Once set up and playing, you just run back and forth between the two rooms listening in each room for around 30 secon... | |
| Is weight really mater? Actually, I think it does MATER. But if you're a TINNY man the 100 lb amp might not be practical. | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required Two things jump out at me looking at your equipment list. The Rotel and Monster.I think you really need to upgrade your cabling to give your equipment the chance to shine. But that being said, all the Rotel CD players I've heard sounded veiled and... | |
| Anyone using a Blu-Ray player as a transport? Sidssp is correct.Of the five or so DACs I've owned, I preferred the non-oversampling DACs because they sounded fuller, more natural and conveyed a larger sense of scale than the over-samplers. While upsampling resulted in more audible detail they... | |
| Best interconnect for bass only Let me add some confusion to this discussion.Actually, I disagree in general with the first response, but agree with some of his specific points. Just for shits and giggles I tried different cables from my 2-channel system in my HT system's sub. S... | |
| Best speaker value between $1800-$2100 My favorite sounding speaker in that price range is the ProAc 2.5, but it may be a difficult match for you because many people feel they need to be away from the walls more than some speakers. I however, used them about 12-18" from the walls and s... | |
| Any tweaks recommded for under cd player? Over the years I've tried BDR Cones [didn't like either flavor], Blue Circle cones, Mapleshade brass cones, but liked the Neuance Shelf the best. | |
| Power cable for Transport I have similar experiences with those that have noticed improvements when mating the right PC with the right component. I've found the VH audio Flavor 4 and the older Virtual Dynamics Power 3 power cord to be both very good with transports. | |
| Quality required to hear vinyl Bigbillc,I was in a similar situation to you about ten years ago. After joining A'goN and buying and selling gear for a few years I realized that just putting together a combination of electronics that I enjoyed was difficult enough, let alone any... | |
| Now Hear This I'm a fan of NHT speakers from that era. I think Ken Kantor was around during that time. I still use the SuperZeros and SuperOnes I bought in 1995, and I've always wanted a pair of 2.5s even though I don't have an application for them.Give 'em a t... | |
| Interfacing Speakers & Stands My favorite method for securing monitors to stands is with artist's kneaded erasers. Kneaded erasers do a great job of anchoring the speakers to metal stands and unlike Blu-Tac which many people use, won't ruin the wood finish of the speakers or l... | |
| Guilty Pleasure recording? The old "Stereophonic Records".The sound of that train going from my left ear to my right turns me on!Now, that's Stereo! Goddamn! |
