| Upgrade Amp or CD/Sacd...Help Needed I know this doesn't answer your question, but every time I've added a subwoofer to a system, dynamics seemed much more pronounced. Food for thought. Regarding L300 and dynamics, I remember back in the day listening to these hitched up to a Mac 210... | |
| How Many Audiophiles Have Do You Know? I've met about a bakers dozen--mostly thru replying to local ads for equipment. I may have turned one to the "dark side." We recently had a couple over and they wanted to hear the main rig in the living room as my wife had touted the awesomeness o... | |
| Should cable elevators be used? a half roll of Charmin sounds the best. It increases the damping. Plus the highs are softer. | |
| 5+ years old $5k player vs. current $2k player I am in total agreement with Jeffga and Dtc. Based on many comments in the past that a new unit will blow away an old unit , I have tried several new units in the past two years and such is not the case. I think the power supply is a key element t... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo or Sony SS-AR1 Here is one vote for the Crecendo's. I heard these at Axpona earlier this year with triode electronics of Japan components. I kept coming back to this room because every time I sat down I relaxed and just enjoyed the music. They were driven by the... | |
| Review: Tekton Design Pendragon Speaker Nice review. How do they sound when you walk around the room (does the tonality change) and how coherent do they sound if you are 6-7 feet away? | |
| Mccormack DNA-1 describe the sound characteristics I have a TAD150 signature and I can assure you it is not bright sounding. It replaced a Melos SHA gold which is no slouch. I would try a different pair of speakers to gain a reference point. Upgrading your amp will only make a subtle improvement t... | |
| thiel 3.5 or von schweikert 4 gen 2 I am driving the thiels with a harman Kardon avr630. I think its 60wpc. Very happy with this setup in my home theatre. | |
| thiel 3.5 or von schweikert 4 gen 2 I own both. the VR when set up properly will throw a huge soundstage and sounds good off axis and whether you sit down or stand up. The Thiel sounds more musical to me, is harder to drive, prefers solid state and the sound changes when you stand u... | |
| Best tube pre-amps under $1,000 TAD 150 Signature. I sold my Melos SHA Gold when I got this as the line stage was noticeably better. No longer made by Bizzy Bee audio. I think there were about 400 units sold. Weak point is the remote control. I purchased a much nicer one and tra... | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership As I read this, I am listening to Itunes thru my Little dot mkIII and Sennheiser HD650 headphones and couldn't be happier. I haven't turned on the big rig or the number 2 system for at least two weeks. I seem to rotate from one position to the nex... | |
| best $200 blu-ray for streaming Netflix Rickschell--you didn't mention what this device is? Apple tv? | |
| Best free Apps for music.... Well, some of the obvious ones would be Pandora and Slacker for internet radio. | |
| Albert Von Schweikert VR-4 Based on your description--you seem to really like these speakers. That my friend is half the battle. Forget about what other "experts" think. If you like them, then that's all there is to it. Personally, I think you would be hard pressed to find ... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Fisher 500C? I would say that the true answer would lie with your speakers and amplifier. If the speakers are hard to drive then I don't think the Fisher will get the job done. OTOH, if the speakers are easy to drive, then what Lewm recommended.The Line 3 is a... |
