| WAF Alert: McCormack DNA .5 on Vandersteen 2W sub? LOL @ Krellcoda. You might be on to something.I think Asian women are used to growing up with Asian guys that love their cars, stereo equipment and guns, so if they end up marrying a guy that is only into one of the three, they feel like they've m... | |
| Speaker Wires on Carpet I've been wondering if ceramic is a good choice for the elevators How does it deal with mechanical vibrations?I know that some wire makers like to use a shear cotton insulator for there wire instead of plastic or teflon. Would a fluffy Disneyland ... | |
| Best Small Speakers As a happy owner of both ProAc Response 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures, I'll vouch for some of the previous poster's enthusiasm for their sound quality. However, both monitors use rear ports and for that reason I feel would be poor choices for wa... | |
| Theta Basic II transport repair or move on Wow, that's a big repair bill!Even if the Data Basic II was in great shape, you'd probably only get about $400-500 for it if you tried to sell it. I believe the Data Basic II uses the CDM-12 mechanism which Phillips stopped making a few years ago.... | |

| Name 1 Cable in your system you could not live w/o In my case, it would be the Audience AU24 speaker cables. I compared them at length with the Acoustic Zen biwired Hologram II and more recently the Ridge Street Audio Poiema and for my taste they are the clear winner. They deliver the most real an... | |
| If Thiel, Wilson, Sonus, made active speakers????? A lot of these speaker manufacturers don't already have or wouldn't want the extra burden of developing an amplification system for their speakers.Also, the issue of which amplifier manufacturer's technology to use comes under consideration. Some ... | |
| What sub do "U" use ? Agreed, Marakanetz. The Classic has a nice, warm quality missing in the newer Parm Subs. | |
| What sub do "U" use ? Marakanetz, is that the Meatball Parmesan mkII or mkIII? I feel the extra cheese on the newer version helps firm up the bass overall without sacrificing the lowest octaves.I was using a half-assed set up that served double-doody for HT and music c... | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response Marco, is this the system you have posted with Diesel in the picture? Nice barn! Just kidding.I would try the simple approach first. Get big pieces of MDF and place them under the speakers. My idea is to spread out the weight of the speakers the f... | |
| Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ??? Good thread Sean!Although I've had an appreciation for music and audio since I was a small child, I've only been an "A'GoNite" for four years, so I've missed out on those great old manuals.Since I started the whole AudioGoNer buy and sell cycle I'... | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer Now, I got the picture Coach. You're an audiophile, music lover at heart that is starting his first home theater.In that case monitors with a powerful sub might not be best for you. You're idea of using 2CEs with a 2WQ might be just what you're lo... | |
| Neuance & Zoethecus,EMC-1UP & First Sound Preamp? Mphnkns, how much do your monoblocks weigh? From what I remember Ken said something about the platforms not being able to support anything over 60lbs. Does he have a new design to accommodate heavier components? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks! | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer Is this for 2-channel or HT? If it's for 2 channel music...After having used monitors with a sub for many years, I just switched to floorstanders a month ago. Although my floorstander doesn't reach to the lower bowels the way my sub did, what it d... | |
| Where does the designation of "Audiophile" fit... TImf, that's why I gave such an off topic answer. I don't like no pigeon's hole.How about this?An audiophile is a person that devotes great time and money to the equipment associated with reproducing the music they love.Marco, Diesel likes Espress... |
