| Feds to audiophiles: You're all pirates now With the music industry, as well as in any industry, there are market forces and external forces such as the law. In this case, it looks like record executives are lobbying for more help from the external forces because they haven't figured out ho... | |
| Anyone else like Nick Drake ? The second I read the post, I thought "Alexi Murdoch." I read all the posts to make sure I wasn't repeating anyone, get to the bottom, and there you are Darkj. Great call. I have to second Alexi Murdoch as very similar to Nick Drake, but so simila... | |

| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions I actually just got an Adcom GFA-545 which still isn't where I'd like to be, but it's a huge step up from running off of the receiver. I got it for $75 used, so it's an acceptable and affordable crutch. If I were to buy another amp, my price limit... | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions Screw it. I'm keeping them. | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions Really good suggestions so far. Also to be taken into consideration: I have a Velodyne CT-120 sub that I'm integrating into my system as well. Right now it only covers the very bottom (~35 hz) but I could adjust the crossover to fill in a little m... | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions I'm looking into the Meadowlark Kestrel 2's. It looks like they won't "rock" as well as the Thiels. Is that just part of the sacrifice of moving down in speakers?I listen to Independent Rock (The Shins, Sufjan Stevens, Caribou, Decemberists), Jazz... | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions Unsound -- Absolutely I'm going to be upgrading the amp. Any suggestions for an amp to go with the Meadowlarks (or the Thiels) would be appreciated.-Dusty | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions I personally don't think the Thiels are bad looking speakers at all. I like the pyramid-esque shape of them, but for a room of my size they do become the focal point. I have a floorplan of the room on my system page if anyone cares to look at it.P... | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions I think there is something to be said for compromise. She doesn't have the final say in what happens in a room, but then again neither do I. She cares about how a room looks and would prefer to not have speakers reaching out into the social area. ... | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions Yes Shadorne, that's a huge difference. My meaning was to spend about $100 beyond what I can get for the Thiels, so $1000 total.It's a tight budget, but I'm hoping something can be done within it.-Dusty | |
| Tonearm relative to Plinth alignment Thanks for your responses, everyone.-Dusty | |
| Tonearm relative to Plinth alignment No, there are 3 set screws so when they are screwed in, even loosely, you can't rotate it. Here is a picture so you can see:http://128.121.219.98/i/c/f/1191460316.jpgThere would be no way to get it straight short of drilling new holes, so I was wo... | |
