| My new B Stock speakers @alaric62 , I do not think that the speaker caps were mentioned on this thread. The sales rep from MD did mention them when I asked if speakers ever "just wore out." I think I remember once seeing a cap when I had removed the back panel with th... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player @jayctoy , I just got through going to that lin@sharri provided and ordering the assembly from encompass. Hopefully I will never need it, but it is kind of like insurance, I guess, that if I can find someone to install it, at least I will have ... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? the 22"X25", dedicated listening room. It even has it's own private full bath and HVAC register. @awise1961 , you are living large! | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? In a heartbeat. | |
| audible distortion and tube gear? @atmasphere , thank you for getting back to me on that. As always, I appreciate the education you provide to me. | |
| Quandary @rvpiano , I can only speak for myself, but I would not pay $300 to audition the monoblocks that were not the ones that I was going to buy. Honestly, I think I would have a hard time seeing my way clear to paying $300 to audition the equipment th... | |
| For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls? a fellow moved in upstairs whose child stomps around like a maniac and is prone to fits of screaming. So I blast him with my Genelec system that includes a sub. When the child starts in I turn the system on full blast so the windows and walls sha... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player However, the reason for having the player is generally to play sacd discs. Yes, @sharri , the reason I bought it was to hear the full sonic attributes of SACD and to also play my red book discs. You are right--if I did not want to play SACD I... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @soix , I still own the B&Ws and that is an excellent suggestion. I am logging my hours on the Revels as I go. I did a come to a point (at twenty plus hours now) where they are not having the same positive effect upon me that they had when... | |
| audible distortion and tube gear? @everybody, thanks for the input. @soix but if you share what equipment/cables are in your system and what CD you’re using you’ll likely get much better and more useful insights here. Good question though. Equipment is Maranzt SA10 in front ... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player . . . hmmmm . . . well, after doing some searches, as related to that question I just asked @sharri , I am getting that (mostly) that (probably) cannot be done. Someone did post a link at the end of the discussion I am about to paste a link for... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player @sharri , I went back through and re-read the posts in this thread, and once again want to thank you for the wealth of helpful information you provided for SA 10 owners. I copied and pasted and made a document which I saved and also printed of t... | |
| My new B Stock speakers Maybe, @grislybutter , but from the reading on this forum, you have way more experience than me with different speakers. I am open to what everyone has to say. When I bought my previous B&Ws home, there was a tangible and obvious improvement... | |
| My new B Stock speakers . . . I wonder if speaker break in could be compared to adopting a puppy (or in my case, puppies)? Three years ago we adopted three dogs anf two of them were either 8 or 10 (I cannot remember for sure right now) weeks old at the time. There were t... | |
| My new B Stock speakers I did put three hours plus on them last night, and this afternoon I put five hours plus on them. On the positive side (and since my memory is so short I’ll speak for today) I played a lot of my classical music CDs (and one SACD) which I am not rea... |
