| How crucial is the quality of a digital cable? This is summarized by Tarun whose ears/taste I thrust. Among these cables that range from $50 to $1k, I have used Belden and Mogami and they play well. | |
| New transport or repair CD player If the issue is isolatedly the laser lens, part is readily available for around $35. Meridian 508 20 bit CD Player is worth repairing if you could find a local guru. For example, I found a local (WPB) guru who was able to fix my Marantz cd play fo... | |
| Simplest Linear PSU? LHY | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma @grislybutter Don’t get me wrong. My reservation and decision not to add sub(s) as part of system is in a general term, not related to a sepecific model/brand of sub. As @soix mentioned, SVS is a good brand and SB1000 is a fine sub. But, a 12" woo... | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma You did, @grislybutter. In the past almost a year, I tried to integrate my 25 year old AR SW30 sub, SVS SB 1000 and SB 2000 with my 2-channel system using (1) speaker level input (2) line level input as well as (3) line-level input with HPF (fixe... | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma Yes, agreed, the OP does have plenty of choices under his budget as mentioned if he/she does not desire for low end extended to 30-40 hz range. For example, I would get raved Evoke 10 as you have suggested (or even Evoke 20 by stretching the budg... | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma I was going thru similar avenue seeking for speakers for my 1st and 2nd systems. I must agree with @kenjit that there are too many choices and you need to do your homework yourself first. Read reviews and shorten your list down to 3-5 speakers. Ho... | |
| Nobosound Springs Thank you for the inputs, @ghdprentice | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Marantz CD63se player. Unopened drawer (broken belt and laser head went bad. Two of them ended up the same issues. | |
| Nobosound Springs Want to give it a try but wonder if this cheaper alternative ($21 vs $35 pet set of 4) would work the same? The specs look similar but this one has larger base... Your thought? | |
| Subwoofer suggestions for budget system? It is very difficult to integrate sub with main speakers seamlessly especially the texture and speed of the bass notes. Maybe the servo controlled sub will (has not tried) but it is usually pricey for a good one. There are budgetary floorstander... | |
| Speaker Stand Help @grislybutter To give an idea of how obsessed I am with finding the right stands, I had them custom made and dragged it across from Europe. Wow, why don't you show it off here? Picture pls. | |
| Speaker Stand Help +1 Monoprice Monolith 4 post, best bang for your buck. Fill them with sand to maximize its performance. Tried and very happy with them. Too ugly, consider Dynaudio Stand 20 | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better The effect of your mixing is quite similar to the follwoing speakers placements and wiring suggested by one of the members here (sorry I do not recall his name). The 1st pair of speakers are wired normally and place close together to simulate you... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? Compared with my old AR SW30, the bass notes from SVS SB1000 are more well-defined, faster and smooth. A good value proposition at the discounted price. It has a built-in HPF fixed at 80hz, allowing one to better integrate itself into the booksh... |
