| Arcam A49 Integrated The current issue of Absolute Sound has a short review of the A49 that is quite positive. | |
| On the draining of resonance..... Basement. We had problems with unstable fill on the building site so our basement slab now sits on top of $26,000 worth of crushed rocks. My turntable sounds great. Highly recommended. LOLkn | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice +1 for the fact that about 50% of Agon posters I have interacted with over the last ten years responded to this post within one day. +2 for the "room is the problem"+3 for the stuffed animals suggestion.+4 for the near field listening suggestion. ... | |
| On the draining of resonance..... I realize my suggestion to put gear directly on a concrete floor is something of a side light given the original post, and could be perceived as contrary to my earlier advice, so let me praddle on a bit further. The conditions that made me resort ... | |
| On the draining of resonance..... Ommmmmm. Of course you would ask me that! My wood blocks I was using on my old shelf (and when I say old, I mean like 175 years old!!) don't fit on my new shelf, so my turntable is sitting on the ground, which is OK, because the ground is a concre... | |
| Bowers and Wilkins B&W 705 speakers_questions. Maybe I have a slightly different perspective on the AVR. 705's are more forgiving in my experience than the 805's by a long shot. Try a top of the line Yamaha, intrgra, or especially any Arcam AVR. Should be pretty good match. I listened to the 7... | |
| On the draining of resonance..... Cool, will be interested to see what you have come up with. I am big on home brew isolation solutions, and my opinions have been hard won! Lots of early attempts that were different sounding from stock, but not always better, as mentioned by someo... | |
| On the draining of resonance..... Wierd. That was not the link I intended. Trying again. http://www.mapleshadestore.com/galleries.phpkn | |
| On the draining of resonance..... Jafreeman, nice system! I would not recommend putting metal cones or spikes directly on a stone surface like the one depicted under your amp. In that case, the stock rubber feet would likely perform much better. My experience is that spikes or con... | |
| On the draining of resonance..... I am not quite sure what your point is:-/ That 1. The idea of internally generated vibrations being materially harmful to sound reproduction is unsound, 2. Even if it is harmful, which you doubt, (see 1 above), there is nothing to be done about it... | |
| On the draining of resonance..... I think the idea here is to remove excess or spurious energy from your system so it doesn't interfere with the good vibrations:-/ Whether it is internally or externally generated, resonance isn't an instantaneous or infinitely singular event that ... | |
| Toslink versus HDMI for two channel audio Thanks | |
| Used 804 N or S vs New CM10 S2? So how do you like the 1090 with CM10s? | |
| Used 804 N or S vs New CM10 S2? 804s will be too revealing for this system, can't recommend them. CM 10's are nice. Will be curious to hear if Adcom sounds better than your Marantz as a preamp. A friend was recently looking at the CM10s and decided they liked Focal's new towers ... | |
| which $1k used floorstanders for 35wpc tubes? This might seem like an unlikely match, but I heard the original Primaluna Prologue (35 wpc) played with Dynaudio Audience 72's and they sounded terrific together. Source was vinyl. I also support Focal and Vandersteen suggestions. |
