| Speakers for difficult placement. No overkill. Buy them. Or these: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1232239823&/Jm-Lab-Focal-Profile-928-class | |
| Lossless files contain errors When ripping the CDs to lossless, is there an option to "Use Sound Check"? This is an option available when burning an iTunes playlist TO a CD that adjusts the sound level of all songs to be within the same general range. I find this actually play... | |
| Should an audio system be left on at all times? Well, no matter what, having your amp off most of the time will save electricity. You can use the money you save on your power bill to go stimulate the economy... | |
| revel m22 or f 30's I heard the M22's on quality stands with a Musical Fidelity A5 CD/Integrated combo and some nice wires. I REALLY liked them. Not the most neutral sounding speakers, but their sound grabbed a hold of me. At 85 db the M22's are not the most efficien... | |
| Should an audio system be left on at all times? Interesting. I listen to music pretty much every evening I am home. That would mean turning the system on and off everyday. I agree with other posts that it takes time for the wires to warm up (I have long runs of speaker cable), so what is the di... | |
| Should an audio system be left on at all times? Kijanki,So the wear of higher operating temperature exceeds the wear of powering your system up and down everytime you want to listen? | |
| Simaudio CD-1, Marantz SA-15, or Cambridge 840? Here is my impression of these players:Simaudio CD-1, admirably neutral soundingMarantz SA-15, haven't heard it, but Marantz gear generally sounds on the warm side of neutral to my ears. More money adds more resolution and less grain to the warmth... | |
| Speakers for difficult placement. Have you looked at the Totem speakers? Their floor standers (they call them "Columns") can be placed as close as 6" away from the wall and you can tune the bass by mass loading a chamber inside the speaker with sand. Totems are known for their gre... | |
| Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs Foster_9,This is helpful information which sounds reasonable. Assuming this is true, the differences in these cords were clear enough for me to think the two more expensive cords were a lot better than the least expensive cord, even with a relativ... | |
| cambridge 640 int.amp/player/ w/826v focal/cables? Ethos has some good ideas for you. The Kimber Heros should mate well with your player and amp. I am using Audioquest Diamondback interconnects and Type IV cables, and Shunyata Diamondback Power cable (complete coincidence on the naming convention!... | |
| Best CDP under $500?..... Used market OK, the JD 100 is pretty good. Different from the Cambridge, but still good for this kind of money. It's warmth is going to be more forgiving of wires fore and aft and electronics and speakers upstream than the Cambridge with the 640's tendency to... | |
| Amplification for Monitor RS6 Aball,Not exactly a fair comparison for the NAD 720BEE to their three hundred series integrated's with respect to bass control and presence. The 372 and 375 have three times as much power (150W X 2) as the 720 receiver (50W X 2), and can lord over... | |
| Best CDP under $500?..... Used market Two weeks ago I would have agreed with all these recommendations - but not now. I own a Cambridge Audio Azur 640C v2 player and thought it was a good but not great player with magnifying glass resolution, but a somewhat bright and overly analytica... | |
| Amplification for Monitor RS6 I have heard the RS6 and like them a lot. Given the nature of the RS6 speakers - I would look at a slightly warmer to neutral amp - like the YBA, NAD C372, new C375BEE or C355BEE, Unison Unico. Try the Cambridge with the RS6 before you commit to t... | |
| Upgrade to Totem Forest or Monitor Audio GS60? I love the Totem Forests in a bigger room, but I think the Monitors will be better for rock - all those aluminum drivers will move lots of air RIGHT NOW when asked. Not sure which would best compliment your ARCAM amplifier - can you audition with ... |
