| Your Favorite Top 10 tuners all time The Yamaha CT-7000 is no doubt better than all the other Yamaha's on the list (although the T-2 is a decent number 2), and the Sony ST-5130 is probably better than all the other Sonys on the list. The Sony ST-5000 and 5000F should probably also be... | |
| Advent parts, where? If you want authentic Advent parts, try eBay. Just make sure you look very carefully at the photos, ask the seller all the right questions, and buy from sellers with very high percentage feedback ratings - and look for sellers who are into hifi, r... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Just out of curiosity, I went through the list of “best speakers ever heard” and compiled a count of the votes from February 4, 2001 to January 3, 2005.There are a zillion disclaimers. Here are a few:1. The process was casual at best (no doubt err... | |

| Need speakers - Yamaha CR 840 They won't cost much on eBay and they will sound great for the $. Probabaly a lot of people who bought that model Yamaha new listened to Advents. Just try to make sure you get ones in original (unmodified) condition and make sure the surrounds on ... | |
| Large Speakers Small Rooms When comparing the sound from a set of speakers in different size rooms it probably doesn't make sense to try to put the speakers at the same distance from the rear or side walls in both rooms because the ideal distances are a function of the room... | |
| Distance from the speakers to the seating position Give this a try; you might find something that works better depending on your room, but this is definitely worth experiencing; if you are lucky and you have a good room, this will cause your sound image to focus with clarity you might not otherwis... | |
| Looking for a speaker under $1000. used. Meets your requirements except for the 40 watts; you will need 70 - 100 watts (or more) depending on the amp and your tastes, but the good news is that you will have about $500 left toward an amp after paying about $500 for a very nice pair of DQ-... | |

| ARC vs Atma-Sphere and ARC vs VTL Amplifiers Hi, I appreciate the responses. Ok, here's my target: Sound Lab M-3s or maybe M-2s; the room size is marginal; about 18 long x 12 wide by 10 high. I think I can get each speaker within 1-2 feet of the side walls and about 4-5 feet out from the bac... | |
| Denon, Shelter arm choices This doesn't exactly answer your question, but the Ittok works great (on a Linn LP12) with the Shelter 901. The 901 is a fantastic cartridge; great low end, mid range, and high end; the bass is deep and tight, the midrange is open and airy, the hi... | |
| Correct way to us Shure VTF gauge? Hi Dave,Well, I don't want to alarm you since we audiophiles can get a little obsessive compulsive, etc., but I've been using a Shure VTF gauge quite a bit lately and it doesn't behave the way your setup is behaving. On mine, the results are very ... |
