| Record Cleaning Another cleaning option is to buy the Nitty Gritty Record Doctor III - you have to turn the record yourself, but it is WAY cheaper than alot of other machines and mine does a great job. I use the Audio Intelligent fluids with it, which are great -... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more Altec A7's, Klipschorns, Klipsch Belles, Klipsch Cornwalls - I have not had the pleasure of hearing the Avantgardes. | |
| Dynamics at lower volumes? Horn speakers have a greater dynamic range than any other type, not only on the loud end, but also the soft end. Elizabeth's suggestion of the electrostats is the next best choice for soft dynamics. | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall Thanks for the response, Viridian. I will definitely try moving the Cornwalls against the wall in a few days when I get a chance for a listening session. I can't put them both in corners in my living room, unfortunately. I have a push-pull amp rig... | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall Viridian, I have read your posts about horns in general and Cornwalls in specific with great interest, as I own a pair myself. The one thing I would disagree with you on is your description of horns in general as "boxy." I am still puzzled by your... | |
| Bellari VP 129 vs B&K Phono 10 Forgot to add, please give us your impressions of the Jolida vs. the Bellari when you hear them both! | |
| Bellari VP 129 vs B&K Phono 10 I have found the Bellari to be better than anything else I have heard in it's price range, including the Pro-Ject mentioned above. The Jolida's are supposed to be good (have not heard one) but as someone else mentioned, they are three or four time... | |
| ProAc fans? The Studio 140's are very nice floorstanders indeed, if you are interested in those. I personally prefer floor standers to monitors, and the Studio 140's would not be too large for most rooms. | |
| Building a listening room in new house; Texas? As a Texan who grew up north of San Antonio, I can tell you that one of the biggest reasons you will not find alot of houses there with basements is the limestone rock, especially in the central part of the state you are looking at. Vast amounts o... | |
| Wynton - The Only Person in Jazz Who Matters? I agree with Birdies, I don't think it's so much that everyone has to agree with Marsalis, it's just that Marsalis is definitely considered the best out there right now, and so his opinion should and does carry a great deal of weight. Do I like ev... | |
| suggestions for warm cd player The Rega Apollo is a very nice, warm sounding player, definitely the best you can get new for the price | |

| anyone use ikea for lp racks? You really don't want to see pics of my x-brace, it's actually quite badly done and looks terrible. Had to use some pretty long boards to do it, since the unit is so large. But it is on there and is fulfilling it's function. The x-brace is a very ... | |
| anyone use ikea for lp racks? To update my post in this thread, I bought a 5x5 unit and built an x-brace for the back of it. Now I can load up as many records as will fit in there with no danger of it collapsing. I would highly recommend this for anyone who thinks they might b... | |
| As system improves, do bad recordings sound worse? Interesting thread, Bryon, and I think that you are probably correct in general. As Mrtennis says, this is ultimately all subjective. I also agree with Audioquest4life's early response where he said that a really bad recording is never going to so... |
