| Looking for non-boomy full range speakers I agree with those who said to avoid true full range speakers. A small room just won't work due to the physics involved.I suggest you invest in a subwoofer. That way you can adjust it seperately from your main speakers. You can tune it specificall... | |
| Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon? Well, as you state, everyone is new here at one point or another. Those who are new to Audiogon assume that their Ebay rating should have some merit here, (regardless of that fact that it doesn't). I usually cut them some slack, and as Clamps says... | |
| Your Wish List for Reissue on Vinyl Mine include (besides all the ones on Stevecham's list!):Wilco - SummerteethFoo Fighters - Colour and the ShapeSmashing Pumpkins - Melancholy and the Infinite SadnessJethro Tull's entire catalog (Steve, you forgot those!)The Beatles albums, but th... | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed Frankpiet,As both your pieces of equipment are brand new, I highly suggest that you pick a full range, dynamic, piece of music and run it 24/7 for the next week or so, in order to break in both pieces of equipment properly. (It will probably take ... | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed I think that depends upon whether you want tubes or not.Tubes have that special magic, but it comes at a cost.The cost being tube noise (tube rushing).If you can live with it, I agree with Nrchy, that the Aeshetix is probably the way to go. It has... | |
| Full Range Speaker $15-$20000 Range? Well, my advise is to sell both the speakers AND the amps, and change out to what my friend has, who also has the exact same room size (but with a lower ceiling) and the exact same taste in music. (I.e. primarily classical, secondarily jazz, and a... | |
| Which companies also offer good service?? Resolution Audio (Opus 21 CDP) is very, very helpful. (Jeff Kalt is one of the Best! He did not even charge me for the minor repair I brought to him, nor for the toy he gave to my little girl. Top notch service in my book!!)Basis Audio (2001 turnt... | |
| How do I go backwards? I have not done this myself, nor do I know anyone who has.However, logically, you are in a position of strength.You have components that are well above entry level, which means that most people will be upgrading to your level. Therefore, these sam... | |
| Sonus Faber Sound? I always thought the Sonus Faber sound, at least on the two of three models I heard, were on the slightly dark side of neutral. However, that being said, I also thought they were very musical and if your sonic taste ran that way, they would be an ... | |
| Dedicated CD Player Recommendation I highly recommend the Resolution Audio Opus 21.It has all the attributes you have mentioned.Very smooth sound, no treble glare, almost analog sounding in terms of its musicality. You might want to check the reviews here and on Audio Asylum.Used p... | |
| How Big is Your Music Collection WOW Jes45!!I did not even know they had made 600 SACD's!!Can I ask how you store 12,000 LPs?I have storage for about a tenth of that, and my wife says no more now that it is almost full! | |
| Opinions, Is this better for the Members? Assuming your post is correct, I can only say:"What are they thinking?"This is a complete waste of time, IMHO. In fact, it is worse, as it is a mockery of the concept of feedback.This method's only purpose is to post positive feedback.Negative fee... | |
| Need help for a replacement of my Levinson 33H You might want to consider the Lamm M2.2 monoblocks.The reviews have been incredible. They are plenty powerful at 220 wpc into 8 ohms. (That is what they are rated for, but they actually clip about 50% higher than that).The price is a bit steep ($... | |
| Nitty Gritty I Don't Know How To Use Itty Sputniks,I use a different technique than Photon46 described.First, I bought a Disk Doctor Brush, as it was bigger (and better, IMHO), than the brush that comes with the Nitty Gritty.I also use Record Research Labs (RRL) record wash as my regular ... |
