| How old is too old ?.... Hifinut- used Sonata II', are now 2500, about the original cost of the 104.2, and a spectacular buy. The original Sonata is probably cheaper, and is a spectacular speaker, with less bass (although it doesn't roll off until mid 30's). Sonatina or P... | |
| Silverline Sonata II or Sonatina II Ihave the Sonata II, and LOVE THEM! My room is not much bigger- 19 x 13. The Sonatas are a big speaker, and do't like to be right next to the wall, so they do take up space. Having said that, they are a lot less fussy about placement as some other... | |
| Speakers to match a CARY SLI-80 Silverline Sonata II's are available used for $2500. Tremendous tube friendly speaker, it is 2 db more sensitive than the naia and extends 15 hertz lower in the bass- to 25 hertz. The effortless midrange is the highpoint of this speaker, but the b... | |
| Sub panel & isolation transformer voltage Homer, please post when you install your new IT, what model you end up getting, and the sonic results. Thanks! | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? PBB- Yamaha CDX1? | |
| 2 way or 3 way Speaker? I upgraded from 2 way KEF 103.2's, also from the 80's, and had the less-is-better predudice. Today's better speaker's have improved SO MUCH from that period that I wound up with 4 ways. It doesn't mean as much now as it did then, because computer ... | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? Yes, a mistake! Good for garage shop though. | |
| Efficient monitors to match Air Tight ATM-4 ? Coincident or silverline: efficient, stable speakers designed for tubes.http://www.coincidentspeaker.com/http://www.silverlineaudio.com/ | |
| Importance of Power Conditioner? Stehno,you don't need no stinkin' remote! Lazy Dog! My first Audio Research system didn't. Of course, being equally spoiled and lazy I have one now. BTW, I laughed when I read your original critism, because logically you cannot claim "There are no... | |
| 50hz deep enough? honest1 - you can't change the laws of physics. It is true. And car stereos can't reproduce subteranean bass unless the windows are open. You can't fit a 32 foot sine wave in a fifteen foot room. | |
| turntable location problem Remi- you need a good vinyl playback system, because you like "old cheesey jazzy pop" and 'old school stuff.' That music sounds much better on a rega than the same cd. Unless it's remastered (and the 'cheesey' stuff isn't) it's not even close. In ... | |
| What happened to Discwasher? $200 buys you a vacuum record cleaning machine called the record doctor, by nitty gritty. It's made for www.audioadvisor.com. | |
| Spindle oil NO ATF or MOTOR OIL! They are designed for pressurized systems, and WILL RESULT IN BEARING WEAR. Lithium grease is a good alternative. The Gear oil worked for 20 years before my bearing seized, and there are other Rega owners in this thread who ex... | |
| How old is too old ?.... hifinut- the Silverlines use all Dynaudio drivers except for a german domed midrange, and like the Dyn, comes "closest to the KEF sound." I listened to Monitor Audio, new KEF, and B&W before I fell in love with the Silverlines (which I'd never... | |
| Sub panel & isolation transformer voltage Of course...but that's not what you asked. Going 240 all the way and then stepping down at the subpanel or going all the way amounts to the same thing. If it's a large house, and the stereo is far away from the main, you go off the subpanel. The o... |
