| Replacing driver screws with brass screws Hello,One of the reasons manufacturers hate to use brass screws Is they are hard to keep perfect and scratch free. They have to be hand tightened which makes it difficult to torque with a specific amount of weight. Even on an expensive speakers it... | |
| Best Speakers for a small Nearfield room, budget at most $10000 (used is also ok) Hello,The Omega and Joseph Audio Pulsar are rear ported. You will have to pull them too far from the wall or spend a fortune on bass correction. No rear ported speakers for you. I do like the Magico A1 with the stands.( fill them with sand if not ... | |
| Recommend speakers for Hegel H190 How about the Splendor LS3/5a or Harbeths line? With the extra money you can add a used sub or two. Hegel line is a little sterile sounding but with great detail and good sound stage. These speaker lines will add some warmth. You get the best of b... | |
| something is not right here and it's on purpose!!! Does anyone remember when they marketed speakers as “CD Ready! Or digital ready“? What a joke! | |
| Denon 6500 - Am I crazy? The second set of speaker wires go from the subwoofer to your speakers. That way when you change the volume the subs follow. Rega P6 is a great TT so is VPI. If you do the Rega do your research on the cartridge. Some carts pick up him from the mot... | |
| Denon 6500 - Am I crazy? Hello,You can add subwoofers for two channel stereo. If your two channel preamp does not have a subwoofer option you can run your speaker wires from your amplifier to most subwoofers and another set of speaker wires to your front L/R speakers and ... | |
| Denon 6500 - Am I crazy? Elliot mentioned about about the center channel. Maybe set you receiver to not have a center and let the front two speakers be the phantom center. You will be amazed how good the front end sounds especially when you get a good amp for your two cha... | |
| Denon 6500 - Am I crazy? Hello, One more thing tubes wear out over time and can get expensive. If you buy an amp for home theater do not use tubes unless you have the money to upkeep them. Also I love Emotiva products except for the amps unless you are using them for HT o... | |
| Bose 901 Series 1 & 2 versus KEF 104/2's and 105/3's Bose tech is very old school. A 1970s Ferrari 308 can be beat by a SUV now. I know I have owned both. There are bookshelf speakers for a few hundred dollars that can blow the 901s away. I would sell the 901s and come up to something better unless ... | |
| Denon 6500 - Am I crazy? Hello,You have to decide what is more important to you. I went through this same thing In the end I ended up with a Denon 4806 7.1 for theater and a emotiva preamp and Marsh sound Design ht500 amp 2 channel system with an imput pass through for ho... | |
| Buying a new TT today Hello,I was just thinking if we buy a new TT with the stock cart maybe we should upgrade the cart right away and save the stock cart for when we sell the TT. It seams to me that carts have a life maybe 2000 full plays. You get to hear the music in... | |
| powercords Hello,I have tested power cords and ended up with Nordost Blue Heaven on all the major components using IEC connections. I should replace the hardwired one in my TT like MC said he did. This might not be feasible since I have never done Something ... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? Hello,I agree with Ardsley on the first part. The gun is not the expensive part it’s the bullets or cartridge. MC is right. Vynal has a personality that is unbeatable as long as you have the right pressing. Which can be very expensive and Sometim... | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables Hello,I agree with the amplifier points. SS was more your speed. Maybe try a higher guage speeker cable. Also try the upgrade on the power cord. Nordost blue heaven is on all of my components. Try before you by otherwise you will be going down the... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Hello,I believe it is our fault for responding To some of these posts. I do appreciate how some knock it down or disprove the post but it might be too little too late. The one thing that worries me is I feel we might lose some new enthusiasts due ... |
