| CD player with quiet transport? Music Direct sells 2"x6" 3M Viscoelastic Damping Sheets for $4.99. Apparently they work very well at dampening chassis vibrations. They seem to be a catalog only item (not on the website), so call Music Direct at 800-449-8333 and talk to a salespe... | |
| Good HT, bad 2 channel. On Budget, Any advise? Since you have a CD player and a DVD player you could split your systems. One system for 2 channel and the other for HT. Since you have another room this might work. You will need speakers that sound good with 2 channel music and for a starter you... | |
| Stands make a huge difference with ProAc As far as I know, Target is went out of business, but they may have reorganized. I think that stands would make a big difference. My recommendation is the call the guys at Sound Anchors. They really know what they are talking about when it comes t... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Forgot one: Yawnni... oops, I mean Yanni. | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Almost all rap and hip-hop artists. Eminem has a few catchy performances (they aren't "songs," are they?) that I could get into about once a year, and I've heard a few other "catchy" ones too, but nothing that would even remotely entice me to go o... | |
| Can the Magnum Dynalab MD 108 be beat? I remember years ago a tuner from Day Sequerra that could probably beat it. It was well reviewed in Stereophile and was considered a reference at the time. I think it even included a spectrum analyzer for the tuner. Either the company went out of ... | |
| Static from Speaker on Krell KAV 250 Power Amp Krell has an EXCELLENT reputation for service of their products. I suggest contacting them. | |
| will a receiver upgrade make a enough difference I think that most of the Japanese recievers sold today sound alike (and not good at all) regardless of cost. Listening to new front end components (dvd players etc.) is a lost cause through most of the mid-fi recievers sold today; most of them jus... | |
| Floorstanding or bookshlf speakers? I like the idea a hi-fi system with floorstanding speakers IN A LIBRARY! Seriously though, I think the room is big enough for floorstanders. You may want to consider a large area rug on the floor to help with sound and comfort. Definitely have the... | |

| Anyone out there with comments on the PMC MB2? Please see my post on your other PMC thread. | |
| Anybody knows the PMC ib1? Although this speaker is available for home use, I seems targeted toward the commercial market. I think the PMC FB1 and LB1 classic would be better for home use. Hi-Fi Choice, a British magazine has done several reviews of the PMC speakers. The cu... | |
| Krell KSA-150 vs. Simaudio W-3... + ??? pre-amp Oops!I forgot to mention that any pre-amp I choose must have a remote control for the volume. | |
| Booming bass from my B&W Nautilus If this is indeed caused by room interaction (most likely) you could try to narrow down the frequencies that are resonating. I have found the Stereophile Test CD or Test CD 2 useful for this purpose. These disks have test tones set a specific freq... | |
