| Rewire Marantz or Reterminate Cable Flipping speaker cables would be fine except this is one source out of three so it must be fixed at the source end.Rwwear, while technically you may be correct for all I know, the point remains that it would be nice to have the same setup here reg... | |
| Rewire Marantz or Reterminate Cable If you're balanced source to amp, you have to maintain the correct phase, but if the signal is converted to single-ended somewhere in the chain, then it doesn't matter, no?A player modded to the "correct" polarity would be worth $50 to me if it wa... | |
| Do unused channels need exercise? I've never had any problems doing this myself but I get the feeling the right thing to do is what Qdrone says. Granted I don't have any time for that! | |
| Thiel 1.5's vs, 2.2's? Any thoughts? The size of your room is probably a consideration. I wouldn't put 2.2s in a small room. leo. | |
| Warrenty and lifespan of cd players Sean, it's funny you should say Sony products last a long time. I've owned two multi-disc changers, a 27" TV, a VCR, an S-VHS VCR, a receiver, and a multi-function remote and everything but the remote has been repaired. About half has been under w... | |
| Aerial 7bs or Thiel 2.4s If the 2s sound better than the 2.4s I'm confused as to why you're so willing to spend $3K. And if the Aerials sound better than both what's the question again? leo. | |
| Dimming extremely bright and annoying LEDs These are cheap computer grade line conditioners and are also annoyingly white. I just spray painted one of them black and it came out really nice. A beneficial side effect was that the LEDs are less bright because of the darker surrounding. I'm g... | |
| Thiel CS1.5 and properly sized Aragon amp Unsound, I'm sure I could do better but I can't spend every penny that comes in. This season's plan is to improve everything a little at a time. Must... not... spend... :-(Rcprince, my limited space might actually mean replacing fans is better tha... | |
| Thiel CS1.5 and properly sized Aragon amp Rcprince, Krell's KSA-100 is on my list. However it's a bit out of my price range for the time being. I would also like to try some in-between amps (better than Adcom, not as good as Krell) so I can gauge how much of an effect the change makes.Nrc... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? "that it was pretentious, bloated, pseudo-intellectual,and self-indulgent; apply doubly to this" thread. | |
| Ceiling Panel Recommendations The way I designed the center channel support it point down at the listening position. In my last place the first reflection went past the listening position. I haven't put the center up yet in the new house but I'm hoping the same thing happens. ... | |
| How grills affect? Bufus, I don't believe the 1.5 grilles were meant to be acoustically transparent. I think that's what the manual means about their anti-diffraction properties. | |
| How grills affect? From the Thiel 1.5 manual:"The grille on the CS1.5 is designed as an integral part of the system to reduce unwanted diffraction effects. Therefore, it must remain in place for proper operation. If you do need to remove the grille, pull the bottom ... | |
| center and surrounds to match thiel cs3.6's I have to agree with the SCS3 recommendation but depending on how often you use the home theatre the SCS or SCS2 speakers may do you just fine. I use SCS speakers in the center and rears but they only get 2-4 hours of use a week maximum (haven't u... | |
| Retail vs. List Price Perfectimage, if you paid 75% of the cost the dealer still got to keep 5% which is $200. The dealers may also have bought the subs during the Sumiko discount (I know my Tweeter bought more than half their stock then) which based on my estimates is... |
