| Subwoofer with good monitors Stay away from THX subs for music.They tend to have a peak around 80 hz or so,for more movie impact.SVS,Hsu,have good value subs.There's a lot of good competition nowadays. | |
| How to shop for speakers? Bring your own music with you too,good variety,if somebody didn't already mention it. | |
| Replacement Plasma Cord, Shielding??? I think the shielding is important.They(factory)wouldn't have done for you,to save money if they didn't think so. | |
| Which attributes do you value most? Add musical too. | |
| Speaker cabinets: How important is inert I use British speakers mostly that figure cabinet resonance into their design,from my understanding.Speakers that have so called dead cabinets,aren't a guarantee for the best sound.The drivers themselves are a primitive way of making music,but tha... | |
| Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes I also seem to remember that chrome tape was more enjoyable to me also.The metal may have measured better,but did seem to have a harshness or grain about it.Specs aren't always everything.Our ears still could out do the best measuring equipment.Th... | |
| Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes Livin,if I remember right,you should be able to adjust the bias while your recording,to see what sounds the best.I don't know if this is how you've been doing it,but its the best way to do it IMO. | |

| Think I want a tube system? You will find most of the tube sound comes from the power amp. | |
| Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes Even when they were new,this was a characteristic.I ended up making tapes for in the car only. | |

| Is it okay to talk around your speakers? 11-07-10: AlmargGee, I had been wondering if there was a way to break in new speakers without putting a lot of hours on the tubes in my amplifier. I just have to hold a lot of cocktail parties!Seat the ladies nearest to them for best results. | |
