Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero
It seems like what most people agree on is that NHT is a great value. You get a sound that you would expect from a much more expensive speaker. And I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm on a budget, and these will be the first "brand ne... 
Uneven Platter Problem
I'm definitely glad about having a wonderful girlfriend supportive of my audio interest! And I do notice some wow in the sustain from piano and guitar. I just got the Shure M97xE which has a dynamic stabilizer brush that is said to help this a lit... 
Uneven Platter Problem
Yeah, it's definitely the platter. I can push it down and move it around a little, kind of like it's meant to have a little give in every direction. Is there any way to fix it? It was a gift from my girlfriend, so I have to at least keep it a litt... 
Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero
Thank you for the info, Rich! I had searched online for any dealers in Cincinnati, but I didn't even check NHT site. Great call.I really don't think I can do any better than these for the price I found for them online. The Dynaudio 1.3SE's are DEF... 
Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero
Then I guess I should rephrase the question to ask those who have listened to the Super Zero (the most current past incarnation) if they were impressed. So what do you say? 
Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero
I would love to go with the M5's because I have heard so many great things about them, but due to restraints from the significant other I will definitely be placing these speakers _on_ the shelf in a space this is fairly small (10.5h x 10w x 8d). ... 
Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero
As an additional note, I listen to acoustic guitar music, independent rock (The Shins, Aberfeldy, Decemberists, etc.), Classical, Jazz, a little Electronic, and Motown. Most of this is from very high bitrate (320kbps+)digital music. I also use the... 
Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero
Thanks for the suggestion, Null. But, as mentioned in the opening paragraph, I'm placing the speakers on a bookshelf. Here are some details on that:the bookshelf is backless and where the speaker sits it will have wood below it, above it, and to t... 
Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero
Thanks, Rich.I'm pretty sure the Absolute Zero is made to be used with a sub of some kind.I'll be using the speakers with a Velodyne CT-120 sub, so I'm looking for the quality of the mid- and high-range response. 
Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?
Hey Cincinnati People,I can't go and call myself a real "audiophile" yet, because I haven't reached the $1000 mark in total investment. That has to be a criterion, right? So I'll say I'm an appreciator of high quality sound with discerning tastes.... 
What is purpose of a cd transport?
I love this post. In the beginning there is an abundance of reasoning and theory as to how a transport will affect the output sound...and then along comes someone with actual information (Shadorne) and the thread ends abruptly! I do love the rich ... 
Best speaker that you dont need a sub under 1.5k
Really starting to beat the dead horse here, but go with NHT. I only have the 2.5's, and even they have incredible bass. I can only imagine that something closer to $1,500 in the NHT line like the 3.3's would vibrate most of the hair off of your b... 
iPod directly into amp
You'll definitely want a dock for your iPod that goes into the amp. This is the one that I currently use, but at an amazing price that I just saw on a deal site:http://www.onsale.com/shop/detail~dpno~564547~descr~Kensington-Stereo+Dock+for+iPod.as...
