| Vibrapod Isolators under my speakers? How is the treble? I have this thing about having speakers with metal spikes and such touching tile, stone or granite. I find that this makes the bass tighter but adds a metallic quality to the high end. If I were you, I would just add some small ... | |
| cd player for Krell KAV300i and Sonus Faber Try a Jolida JD1000 I find the unit a real bargan at $900 new or $550-700 used. I use one with the SF's I own. | |
| Best vintage receivers for FM? I've had several and ended up with a McIntosh and of all things, a digital MR 7082. I find it fits the bill for DX ing and has a very satisfying non-tuner sound. Go to the link I have listed for what they call the tuner shootout to see how they st... | |
| alternative to speaker stand spikes? I use and also sell granite slabs for speakers. Although, not the cheapest fix out there, they offer sonic benefits of deeper tighter bass and better soundstage. You can use your spikes but they cannot come in contact with the granite or the midra... | |
| $1000 to spend on an amp used look for a used Coda amp. I feel they are as good as anything out there for 2-3 times the price and with build quality better than anything currently offered by anybody. | |
| Speaker Advise Please Looking for a Lively Sound Hi, try some JM Labs Utopia or Cobalts....lots of lively sound and easy to drive. | |
| Variable output cd players Cary CD 308t only has a variable output with anolog/digital outputs | |
| Large monitor/small floorstander suggestions? I have a pair of speakers currently for sale on audiogon that would do the trick. They are Roksan RokOne bookshelf speakers. I'd put them up against the paradigm studio 40 series 3 (owned a pair) or B&W DM 603 (also owned these) They are very ... | |
| JM Lab Chorus Speakers? Hi, have owned several JM labs speakers including the Chorus floorstanders. They are very good for the money but can be on the bright side but not harsh to my ears. This is toned down when you move the the "S" series but not eliminated,including t... | |
| Isolation platform for non suspended turntable? How about a granite platform with Vibrapods or IsoBlocks. I have had success using this method. I have some 3/4" x 18 x 18" granite platform on sale here on Audigon and others sell the Vibrapods. Use at least 6-9 pods of the proper type and stagge... | |
| Linn Katan vs Linn Keilidh Hi, To start out, I have owned both but neither with Linn electronics (I used a Jolida 1501A hybrid). The reason I sold the Katans is for the same reason you are looking to replace them but I liked them so much I bought a pair of Keilidhs. The bas... | |
| What's supporting your speakers? I use granite platforms, a full 2" thick and under them 4 vibrapods. The improvement has made the bass much less boomy (antique house with pine floors) and much more detailed. In fact, it has increased the bass output and what is on the disc you g... | |
| Thiel 1.5 vs. Paradigm Reference Studio 60 Hi, I had both speakers and the Thiel's are much less forgiving regarding the source material. I loved the detail and the lack of speaker sound (more like live music) of them, but I had trouble sometimes with too much upper bass (boomy) from the p... | |
| Speakers for NAD C370 I have a outstanding pair of Canton Karat M-30 DC for sale on Audiogon. These are just great and I feel will out perform just about anything in this size/price range. No fads or gimics here just the pure truth coming out at you without all the ear... |
