| What's with the short speaker stands? I think I'm with you Branislav. Just seems less than ideal when image height is below your ears, like you're above the stage...I'm more inclined to be looking slightly up at the performers, rather than down. With most floorstanders it may be econo... | |

| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? A modded Oppo should allow you to add a PC, if and when that should become your source. I'm using an EVS modified 103 and it's great, light years ahead of the stock sound. The Oppo's are built to last. But, give Ric a call; he's great to talk to i... | |
| What's the solid state amp to buy $2500? Ric Schultz at EVS is getting ready to release a new amp of his own design. A 25w pure class A, ss (50w @ 4 ohm). Don't know exactly when it's due out, but it should be killer. $2500 Details on his site. | |
| Help with equipment rack design Wood I feel is the right material, especially if solid and not too much MDF is employed. Don't recommend glass, stone, ceramic, steel, aluminum, etc if you ask me...they may tend to have too reflective of an RFI/EMI profile in your room and/or vib... | |
| Do Countries Have a "House" Sound Did happen to stumble onto this Aussie article:http://www.gadgetguy.com.au.buyers-guide/which-speaker-brands-are-the-best-world-tour/link doesn't seem to be working here - this should read: ".com.au.buyers-guide/which-speaker-brands-are-the-best-w... | |
| Do Countries Have a "House" Sound Yes, I did neglect to mention that. It may be odd, but few audiophiles I think would question the audible differences between countries/cultures when it comes to tubes. | |
| Do Countries Have a "House" Sound I'm not saying that there is any 'lockstep' correlation between those factors and the gear sold, per se. Just that that those factors have tended to be in play, over at least the last 50 years or so. The international markets, too, have proliferat... | |
| Do Countries Have a "House" Sound Cultural, political and geographical differences, mainly, I think. Take UK and Japan, for example. Both island nations with real estate at a premium. With traditional housing in the UK, not only do the rooms tend to be smallish, but the neighbors ... | |
| SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy? Kirkus & Alpha_gt: Thank you both very much for the edifying clarification here. This has been a curiosity of mine for a little while now, but did not really know where to begin...I think some lights have begun to come on for me! Much apprecia... | |
| SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy? Enobenetto, understood about the rail voltages. Looks intriguing to me too. But, if this were easy enough to arrange in a preamp (for the maker's stated advantages), then could this same idea not also be applied to amps...leading to a combo of hig... | |
| SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy? I'm tri-amping with Crown XTi 1002's and a 2002 and going preamp-less (using the gain input control on the Crowns). While I would tend to agree that high-end usually sounds better, I've also have been steadily acquiring a lot ($10k+ and counting) ... | |

| Is digital contamination that big of a deal? Yes. IME, it's audibly a Very big deal. It's true that digital noise, for example, can certainly be transferred between components through the interconnecting wiring, but much of it is also radiated through the air and therefore physically from co... | |
