| What's Your Take on This ? In 1985, or thereabout, I owned a pair of Audioplan Kontra Punkt mini monitors ($500) that I heard paired with Threshold amplification. I could not afford Threshold then and from great reviews got the Adcom 535. Well, the 535 could not produce the... | |
| Phono stage I have listened extensively to the TW-Acustic phono on your list, and I own the 300b Monoblocks. I'm also partial to the Tron Seven Ultimate, and both of these phonos produce strinkingly natural sound that is relaxed and alive. I have heard excell... | |

| 2 Channel audio room chair ideas I'm not sure what the best chair would be, but for SQ I've heardto avoid high back/headrest chairs, as this can cause early reflections or affect the rear reflections from reaching your ears.I must admit, that I really like some the chairs cited a... | |
| B&W 801’s I had listened to the original 801s with Mark Levinson amplification in a room no larger than yours back in the day. Albeit, the ceiling was higher. This was at the store's "hi-end" room and they sounded very good. As I recall, the room was lined ... | |
| Positive Feedback Review R2R tape The article captures the reward, quirkiness, and expense of this old and wonderful fringe of the hobby.For me, it was eventually the maintenance of the three R2Rs that I've owned that caused me to finally abandon the format. Then, the rising costs... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? Regarding an omnidirectional approach for the mono setup of subs, and in my case the GR Research/Rythmik OB sub combination. For me, my setup is for stereo. I reached out to Danny of GR research and he replied..."If I had two of the subs then I'd ... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? I don't want to hijack addyson815's post, as he's looking for help with his Proacs.My issue, is not about the virtues of stereo vs mono configurations. Instead, my concern, as bdp24 has touched on, is how the Antimode may interfere with patented c... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? This is good information about these two models. I'll go get the details.Thanks,Kenny | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? bpd24,I have a pair of A370PEQ amps. I was speedreading the 8033's product page looking at the pictures. I saw right and left inputs/outputs on the back. I am using my preamp out to both sub amps, so I'll take another look at the Antimode models. ... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions about the Antimode. I will seriously look into it, as I can hook it up as designed.Kenny | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? Willemj,Regarding the Antimode 8033, how does this device interface, if at all, with the sub's plate amp controls such as delay, phase, crossover, and volume? So, do you first zero-in your controls for sound and then put the 8033 in line? Or, will... | |
| Has a component ever changed your focus? In assembling my latest system, I took a leapfrog step. I started with my analog front and then my speakers. In the middle, was a previously acquired integrated amp that was not the greatest match for the rest of my new investment. I tried some tw... | |
| Excellent Cart Alignment Aid That magnifier looks very useful and thankfully not one of those $$$ audiophile accessories! Thanks for the post.Kenny | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! Find a dealer/store who sells hi-end tables and see if you can get a loaner to try in your system. That would include a nice cartridge. That should help you to make up your mind. If you don't care for the sound then no sense in upgrading your Proj... |
