| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Firesign Theater"How Can You Be In Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?" | |
| Spendor and Tubes Thanks for all the input, folks! As to why I use a quality musical sub to augment the lowest frequencies, the SP100s (even with the mighty 400 wpc Mac amp) do not "plumb the depths" as they say. If you want to know what you're missing, play Patric... | |
| Amp Switch Box? Thanks, Kal. Any chance you could tell me where I might find one? Not exactly sure what set-up would look like, sorry.John | |
| Spendor and Tubes Ah yes, I figured this humble post would bring out some folks! I agree: "No rules in this game." It's all about synergy and matching a system to fit what sounds best to your own ears, IMHO.Like I said, I thoroughly enjoyed the SP100s for several y... | |
| Cary 300SEI w/Harbeth P3SR or Spendor SA-1? Thanks for the thoughts all.I spoke by phone with a very knowledgable dealer of Spendor and Harbeth and Cary. He says I'd be you-know-what in the wind! Just wouldn't get the most of the things. | |
| Cary SLI-80 F1 & Special Edition or CJ Combo? I have the F1 all triode. Pheniominal amp and one of the very best headphone amps at any price! Never heard CJ, but know they are a fine American company as well. Best of luck! | |
| Sub/Speaker Crossover? Wow. See what I mean? :)Thanks for all the input, folks. I used to have the REL and know they are designed for just the low stuff below what any monitor can reach -- hence the setting in the 20s.I've always just fiddled with my subs until the bass... | |
| Mcintosh C-2300 first impressions On Day 10, switch out the stock tubes for some decent ones. I use NOS RCAs in my C2200. I don't have golden ears, but I heard an immediate improvement. It's a tube preamp and the quality of tubes make a difference! | |
| How to fix CD? Thanks for your answers and help, folks! I'm not into computer audio however. In another 2-3 years it'll be better settled out, IMO. | |
| How to fix CD? When I pop the CD, I can always spot the very small imperfection but it's not something that can be cleaned or wiped away. I was thinking instead about anything that maybe "fools" the player so it can read through/over it? I'm using a very fine Mc... | |
| Spendor Classic 9/1 Speaker AMP Suggestions McIntosh 275. Had this combination and it is a perfect match. | |
| Toe-in or NOT toe-in ?? Trust your ears! Try it both ways (having a helper shift the speakers while you listen with eyes closed). Really depends, IMHO, on the speaker and the room. My Spendor 1/2s in nearfield are pointed right at me. Downstairs, my SP100s sound best str... | |
| Cary 300sei volume control I have the amp with a factory installed step attenuator. I don't miss the remote one bit, and love the perfect little click-steps. But I'm old school! I adjust the volume for the CD or LP and sit back and listen! | |
| Upgrade from Spendor SP 1/2, what's next? I have been a Classic Spendor guy since 1980. I have also tried Harbeths, but preferred Spendor. You own one of the very greatest transducers ever made Read this: http://www.regonaudio.com/SpendorSP12Loudspeakers.htmlI have two suggestions. Buy a ... | |
| Anti Cables to join my system, are they enough? For what it's worth, I used Cardas Neutral reference for years because I didn't want to have to worry about what, if anything, the cables were doing to the sound. Tried Anti-Cables and sold all my Cardas in all my sustems. I never heard my Spendor... |
