| Speaker cables which bring out more bass? I find monocrystal cables have similar sonic attributes, so maybe you can look into cables made from monocrystal copper. | |
| Itching for an SACD player I can totally sympathize with your situation. I held off upgrading my digital source for a long time mainly because digital sources were improving at a good pace and there weren't too many players that were good at both SACD and redbook. There sti... | |
| Does having an object inbetween the speakers bad? I think 3ft is shoft enough not to present problems in most rooms. I believe how high the rack is positioned in relation to he height of the speaker drivers and of course the distance of the rack away from the speakers play an important role as we... | |
| Stick with your stock cables ? I agree. One should expect improvements from a $$$ powercord. But like you stated, it's also important to be open to the idea that the improvements brought on by new cable may not be to your liking. You trusted your ears. | |
| Stick with your stock cables ? Well, your conclusions also happen to prove that powercords can make a HUGE difference in an audio system. Anyhow, has the powercord been broken in fully? I've read criticisms of how the Statements rolled off highs, but never shrill and zingy. | |
| Jena Labs Speakeasy 11 I thought Jena cables aren't directional? Have I been mistaken? | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics Timberman, a picture would indeed help, but are you going to be placing the speakers well into your room or back up against your rear wall or something. Also, in your search for speakers, what have you liked about say the Paradigms versus other sp... | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics Timberman, do you have any ideas or restrictions as to where the speakers will be/can be placed and your listening position? I assume that since you're talking about "precise and accurate", you care more about sitting down in the sweetspot to list... | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics Are you looking to play loud? Most people seem to assume you want a big speaker that can fill your room. Have you thought about maybe going with monitor speakers w/ a sub or something? Perhaps something from Sonus Faber might work, as their speake... | |
| ASC traps vs. REALTRAPS ???????? I think that if you're comparing the 20" ASC trap with the Real traps in terms of absorption of low bass it would be no contest. The 20" trap would be a whole lot better. Are you sure you need 20" traps, you can probably get away with something a ... | |
| Will VPI scout or Michell Tecnodec beat my emmlabs Hi Lawrence, I've been trying to make a similar decision except I don't have the Emmlabs gear. I could use a digital upgrade as I do enjoy listening to SACDs but I've been wanting to go the analog route for a while. Unfortunately, I find it amazin... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. Interesting discussion here. I'm leaning towards getting a Scoutmaster w/ the Sig arm right now, and the price difference buying new seems much more of a no brainer, but still, the money can go towards a better cart or SDS which may be even more b... | |
| Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario Yep, WAF or in my case GAF, can be an interesting ordeal (interesting if you can find some humor in it). I showed pictures of the various speakers to my gf prior to the purchase of my Kharmas. Wilson Sophias? They look like garbage cans. Sonus Fab... | |
| Minor keys are like spice and alcohol? Dominant chords actually contain more of an edge as it contains the devil's triad. Anyways, I disagree with the notion that minor keys are only to be enjoyed by adults. It's like arguing that children should not be exposed to any feelings of loss,... | |
| Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario I agree with Rgs92's comments for the most part. Except, I would say that the 3.2s do produce a huge soundstage. In fact, the speakers' soundstaging capability is probably one of the things that is most immediately apparent.Since you're concerned ... |
