| Which system would you rather have? akg_ca,Easy there akg, I was not trying to offend anyone at all. Neither personally nor even anyone’s sensibilities if I could help it. But, I suppose I was taking a calculated gamble. My door number 3 quip was actually merely a half-hearted joke ... | |
| Which system would you rather have? No apologies necessary, freediver. I was hoping to spark some reactions I might not have considered before. That's a pretty strong endorsement, I just may have to check that out for myself in the not too distant future. Certainly the amps have bee... | |
| Infinty epsilon loudspeaker phase adjustment on servo control If you can't spot anything wrong, I myself would drop back and punt to Infinity on this one. I'm thinking it seems like it may be some sort of compatibility, setting or connection issue with the servo box and your amps...assuming the SCU does not ... | |
| Your "eureka" digital moment My ’oh $hit’ moment came with my first pioneer CD changer in ’83...didn’t like it, but kept it and my TT and waited; there had to be some way to get better digital sound...everything sucked, really, but the upper mids and highs in particular...yuk... | |

| Amp for stereo subs Swampwalker, the Crowns could well be a nice solution here, but you will have to take into account some things - including whether your dual 12-inchers on each side will be seen by the amp(s) as a 8- or 4-ohm load and what their sensitivity is and... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? Give Mapleshade a look. There are some HH Scott integrated (EL 84 tube) amps they modify that may fit the bill. Read their description and user comment sections. | |
| Best budget speakers for near-field/small space Look at the Adam A7X near-field powered monitors ($1500/pr) or, as Bassdude suggests above, the Wavetouch GT's (which I own)...just because a speaker is small does not necessarily guarantee that they will do well in the near field, but I can tell ... | |
| Bright & fast speaker cables with great imaging ? For amps, look at Van Alstine for SS or consider Decware SET's. | |
| Bright & fast speaker cables with great imaging ? Mapleshade Golden Double Helix speaker wires may be your best bet. Their Excalibur or Clearview IC's will further the cause in the qualities you mentioned. | |
| Suggest budget CDP to use as transport Oppo 103 has the qualities you mentioned as well as being reliable in the long run ($500). Nice thing is that if you ever find yourself looking for an improvement with it down the road you can call Ric Schultz over at EVS and investigate his trans... | |
| What's with the short speaker stands? Branislav, My advice is that you can buy your favored monitors and experiment for as long as needed after break-in with any makeshift or temporary means of support and placement for the speakers until you arrive at an ideal height vs (whatever) fo... | |
| What's with the short speaker stands? Mapman, "It all depends. Sometimes it turns out worthwhile to go outside the box, especially in more challenging or atypical rooms accordingly". Agreed, as your own experiences no doubt show and it does indeed depend on an array of factors, but I'... |
