| What is Musicality? I was not going to enter into this discussion, and I am certainly not going to try to narrow down a definition of "musicality." Even the dictionary doesn't try to do that by the way, in most of them "musicality" is not even given a separate entry ... | |
| Opinions please on a starter audiophile system? Seems pretty simple to most of us, Orpheus - the speakers have by far the greatest effect on the sound of the system, along with their interaction with the room they are in. Even in these sorts of friendly arguments, I don't recall anyone trying t... | |
| Opinions please on a starter audiophile system? I agree with those who say the speakers should come first. If you don't like the sound of your speakers, you won't like the sound of your system, no matter how good the rest of it is. | |
| What is the Audiogon of music instruments? Speaking as a professional musician, one reason why is that no serious musician is going to buy an instrument online without trying it first. There might be a few exceptions, such as someone buying an older instrument with the idea of fixing it up... | |
| Problems w/ Nitty Gritty RCM? Gradys, I agree with Dopogue, in fact my cleaning regimen is mostly the same as his, though I use camel hair brushes mostly. I probably use a little more fluid than I need to - I am currently experimenting with using less and am not noticing a sig... | |
| Why not horns? I love horn speakers, and agree with just about everything said by those who like them on this thread. One thing is interesting to me though. A couple of posters mentioned that horns have to be perfectly set up and placed, and I am wondering why, ... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Kenny - you might try some of the smaller speakers in the Klipsch Heritage line - Cornwalls in the corners of that size room would work great. | |
| Blue Note reissues I have never had a problem with any Blue Note, Riverside, or Prestige releases that I have purchased. Perhaps the problem is with your source??? | |
| Best Recorded Vinyl Albums surprised no one has mentioned the Casino Royale soundtrack - that is usually included on lists of this type | |
| Record Clam, yes or no Rega says not to use clamps with their tables, one of the reasons being because of the extra weight. My dealer has done several tests with customers who all thought it sounded better without the clamp, and that has been my experience as well. | |
| Help buying a television I have a 50" plasma at about 9', which is the recommended distance. I think you would want at least 60" if you are 12' away - do a google search and look up recommended viewing distances. At any rate, as big as you can afford. I can't believe how ... | |
| Low Volumes About your before 10PM question - you need to look up what your local law is about the acceptable decibel level of noise. You will almost certainly find out that unless you are playing your system ridiculously loud, that the level you do play it a... | |
| Rega 700 rewire It is also my understanding that the wiring on the RB700 is significantly superior to the RB300, in fact that is one of the P5's selling points over even the new P3-24. I would say put your money elsewhere. | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Looking at your drawing, I would definitely agree with Shadorne that the TV is not the main issue. In fact, I would say that the sliding glass door behind the left speaker, and the entryway behind the right speaker probably have even more to do wi... | |
| Select Your Less Than Ideal System Looks like you don't have much of a paper here, with the overwhelming choice being C, to which I add my vote as well. If you included some more "moderates" in your choices you would get much more variety of response. |
