| To Wilson Maxx I, I or IIII owners, or any Wilson speaker owners gpgr4bluThanks for your input about my speaker set up. I just used the term equilateral as a general idea. I have my speakers aprox 9’ apart and am not quite 11’ back. I know what Wilson says about just being able to see the inner most sides of th... | |
| To Wilson Maxx I, I or IIII owners, or any Wilson speaker owners ShadorneIt appears you have adhered small triangle shaped pieces of felt, to the speaker body around the tweeter and midrange section, that has raised the shoulder of said speakers ever so slightly. Is this what I'm seeing?Handymann | |
| To Wilson Maxx I, I or IIII owners, or any Wilson speaker owners Shadorne:Thanks for your response. I'm not exactly clear where you're suggesting I put up an edge. Please try to describe in detail exactly what you're referring to. | |
| Streaming vs traditional Thanks for the input. I'm referring to hi-resolution streaming. I believe I read that Spotify is starting to stream in hi-res. As far as convenience goes, I don't mind getting up to change a CD, as opposed to uploading my collection on a hard d... | |
| Cable Survey Personally, I think interconnects are more important. If your speaker wire is a large enough gauge, I haven't been able to tell a huge difference in speaker wire, as long as the length is within reason. | |
| What's the weak link in my system? There are so many things to consider. Always make your front end the best u can possibly afford. If it starts out crap, u can't hope for anything more at the end. Not saying your cart sucks, but invest in the very best u can. I had the preamp u ar... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I feel your pain. As a owner of Klipschorns and Cornwalls, I can tell u Klipsch speakers are very efficient, but not necessarily pleasing. From your post, youre wishing they were not as "loud" as they are. Unfortunately, that's the sound of a horn... | |
| Silly prices for Nordost cables I'm just becoming aware of the magnetic cables and add-ons for existing cables. I tend to be to be a non-believer in paying exorbitant amounts for any kind of cable. Just my opinion. Let's say the new cables by Mr Schultz actually work. Why not ju... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I want to echo what Reubent said about your room. You want to look at your room just like a component. You can put a $20K system in a badly set up room and it will sound awfull. You can take a $5K system and put it in a properly set up room and i... | |
| turntables Hi Raul:Sometimes I look at the question, without looking at any of the other answers, before I chime in. I agree with what you say, concerning the disparity in quality between the two Pioneer TT's. I was just saying that if he has all the prere... | |
| turntables Hi Nakamoto:What kind of stylus do you need?Handymann | |
| turntables Let me amend my last post about the PL -51. Why not buy a good cart, like the Lyra Delos and install it on the 51. If results are not satisfactory, invest in a new TT and put the new cart on it. Nothing ventured-nothing gained. | |
| turntables I bought a PL-71 in 1974 from Radio Shack, when I was attending a university in Cookeville Tn. Back then, there just weren't many Hi-Fi stores around, unless you went to Nashville, even then maybe a couple. Audio Systems and Nicholsons. Anyway,... | |
| My Home Speakers, My Car, and Me...The Ballad of What's Going Wrong? I had a similar room at one time. It may be out of the question, but can you reverse your room where your listening position is in front of the windows? You really need at least a few feet between you and the back wall. Of course, as has been m... |
