| Canare 4S11 two strands vs four strands Thanks for the replies - so do you think I could get by with one cable for the pair of speakers (two strands would be the plus and minus for the left speaker and two strands would be the plus and minus for the right speaker)? Or at 170 feet would ... | |
| Final ditch effort to improve my sound. Pls. help This might not be the response you are seeking, but just fyi, if your room happens to be the wrong size/wrong dimensions/have the wrong surfaces, you can try equipment until the cows come home or you run out of money or run out of time, and you mi... | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners If you are thinking about a new LP12, no doubt it will be great. If you find a well maitained used unit up to say the Cirkus level, it will also be very, very good.This is not to say that other turntables might not also be good, or possibly better... | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? ARC has been showing American manufacturers (and lots of happy users) how good it can be for 30 years. | |
| Amplifier Decision - Audio Research vs Krell ARC will be your best bet if you have any reservations about listener fatigue, or if you value transparency and imaging. ARC can be gorgeous, which is not to knock Krell, but ARC done right (right model in the right system) is magical. Good luck | |
| What are the best sounding outdoor speakers? Hi, thanks for the recommendations; I had a chance to hear the B&W WM4 (medium size) and WM6 (larger) outdoor speakers today. It was in a retail show room, so it's hard to know just what they would sound like outdoors, but in the show room, bo... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Maggies an ARC D-115 MkII and almost any speakers would sound good | |
| Best 70+ Watt Tube amp definitely worth considering if you are on a budget | |
| Is there any way to get into tubes for super cheap Older ARC preamps (such as a SP3A-1) and power amps (such as a D-70MkII) can be had for roughtly $800 each (or possibly less) in good condition. They are excellent pieces of equipment even by today's standards for those prices. For less $ you coul... | |
| Sonics of Soundlabs My research indicates that the speed of sound is about 1116 feet per second, but perhaps that assumes a different temperature or humidity or other variable than the 1127 feet per second cited by Nsgarch; but let's say either is in the ball park.I'... | |
| The most placement forgiving planar speaker? In the 3-5k used range you are definitely looking at Maggie 3.6s and perhaps Soundlab M-2s, or maybe M-3s. Soundlabs and Maggies are both great; they are different than each other, but great. One other possiblity would be a pair of Wayne Picquet's... | |
| The most placement forgiving planar speaker? Soundlabs are excellent speakers. U-1s, A-1s, and M-1s are all among the most impressive speakers available - if you have the right equipment, and if you have a proper room.I've heard at least seven pair of Soundlabs: 3 pair of U-1s, 2 pair of A-1... | |
| transparency vs. detailed Hi Timf,Why settle - you can get both :) | |
| transparency vs. detailed Bossjay gave you the short answer and GMorris gave you the longer answer - I think both did a nice job of defining these terms. It's interesting that for the zillions of threads on Agon and AA and other sites that we don't see more "glossaries" wi... | |
| Audio Research vt100mkll question Well, a popular line of thinking is that the MkII with 6922s should be somewhat warmer/sweeter and less edgy (less definined, but more musical?) than the "white-ish/analytic" sounding MkIII. Whether that is because of the use of the 6922s vs 6H30s... |
