| Help with narrowing down speaker choice Thanks guys.David - I checked out the Daedalus at RMAF 2010 because they were a contender and are still a possibility. I need to hear them again under different circumstances. They sounded different on Saturday than they did on Sunday. I liked the... | |
| Help with narrowing down speaker choice Thanks Pops, it always comes down to the space.With limited resources, or not, I cannot expect to do it all in my room. There is that inevitable limitation, but I want to try to do my best.I've also visited and revisited the more singular path of ... | |
| Help with narrowing down speaker choice Thanks Charles1dadI'll look into the Tonians.Regarding amps, simpler is better when it's smarter. Simple is hard to do right. | |
| Help with narrowing down speaker choice One of the things that I would like to avoid are speaker recommendations that are above 35 Hz. There are some incredible sounding mini and small monitors out there, I know, but I want those benefits plus deep, detailed, controlled, and natural bas... | |
| Help with narrowing down speaker choice Thanks Tish. I'm going to the show in Montreal but they have not published the Dealer or Brand list yet. | |
| Heavy table on Target vw1 'pro'? Years ago, I owned the Target shelf and used it with my SOTA. I didn't have any problems, but when I moved I didn't keep the shelf.About eighteen months ago, I got a new Target shelf and used six inch heavy lag screws into a 2" X 6" stud wall. I n... | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? Masi61 - Sam Kim has been building amplifiers since he was sixteen years old back in the fifties. He's a Guru.His partner Steve, who handles sales, will tell you stuff, like he told me, that simply sounds like hype. What hooked me was the money ba... | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? Masi61 - I don't mean to misdirect you, but the tube amp I'm using was custom built for the Thiels. The original version had a 4 ohm tap and could not do an adequate job with the Thiels. Once, this was changed to 3 ohms the difference was monument... | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? How big is your room?I have owned the Thiel CS 3.6 speakers since they were released, and the idea that they need a SS high-powered amp, I have found to be a croc-of-crap. It's a shortcoming of the amp.The problem with these Thiels is that they hu... | |
| Cables for high efficiency speakers? Thanks Geoch, I will consider the Inspiration, but they may be past my price point @ $1,700/8-ft.? | |

| Help identifying Tuner noise No problem Newbee, I'm in the same boat!Kirkus, thank you for the detailed and informative explanation. The tough part is that the Tuner was recently serviced, upgraded, and realigned by Sam Kim of Sam's Audio Labs, who's a guru especially with tu... | |
| Help identifying Tuner noise Thanks Newbee, but I'm getting a strong signal and my Tuner is very sensitive. It's not hiss, and it does sound like in you're in a field of locusts or maybe cicadas. The intensity of this noise varies, and right now it's gone!I've done all the in... | |
| Cover Up for Light Oxidation? Thank you, both. I've uploaded a picture to my System named Oxidized Faceplate, so you can see it. When you're looking head-on it's barely visible, but with a side view it's easy to see. | |
| Cables for high efficiency speakers? I just learned that the Bastanis speakers are internally wired with the same wire that's offered as their DIY cable. This cable is heavily silver-plated copper. If I wind-up with the Bastanis speakers, then it would make good sense to try their DI... |
