| Why I like my home system better than live music Rebbi, It's true, some type of protection is essential at most live venues, but try earplugs intended for musicians, e.g., from Musician's Friend. They are intended to reduce the volume more ratably over the entire audio spectrum. They do not cut ... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Classical symphonies can sound better live than all but the best home stereos, depending on the hall and where you sit. But often things which should be unamplified, like classical guitar, are run through a p.a., so you do not really hear the beau... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? It makes the music sound less alive. I have a Mesa Baron amp, which has adjustable feedback levels, so it is easy to hear the difference. Increasing the feedback improves the specs, cleans up the bass a little, and robs the mids and highs of life ... | |
| Project Align it CartridgeAlignment Gauge is good? with the investment you've made in your equipment, agree with posters above that a Mint is the way to go. For all of them, the "method" is simple, but the effort required to get it right can take considerable patience. | |
| No PHONO IN Solution You need a real phono preamp. Any phono preamplifier can be plugged into "line in" inputs. The rm-4 is apparently a pre-pre phono; it only brings the signal level from a moving coil cartridge up to the level that it can be used by a phono preamp. ... | |

| do monitors require a subwoofer? thanks, all. It looks like I'll just have to buy used and keep at it until I find something that sounds about right. | |
| What Step-up transformers are best value? another vote for Hagerman Piccolo, in the bargain category. Solves a lot of problems that SUT's have. | |
| A blasphemy....I know.... some of you are confusing the mixing of pigments to produce color, and spectra of light. They are not the same thing and do not work the same way. Mix all the colors on your palette, you get a dark, dirty gray. All the colors in the spectra combin... | |
| Is it OK to place speakers behind me ? you have achieved "background" music, literally. | |

| love my ARC LS7.. but need remote, suggestions? Mrkoven, if there was a difference, I did not hear it. I've had mine for 10 years or so. NOS tubes certainly make a difference. btw, you sometimes see LS-15's on Agon for $1200, if you can stand to wait. Dob, don't the Joules tend to be more "tube... | |
| try an entry level Lyra to hear house sound? Thanks, Jonathan! I called Needle Doctor to order a Delos and try it, but am waiting to hear back on when they would have one to ship. Wanted a Fosgometer, too - might as well set it up properly - but wait-listed on that too, est. 3-4 weeks.audio ... | |
| love my ARC LS7.. but need remote, suggestions? I upgraded from the LS-7 to the LS-15 years ago, for the same reason. I was told by the salesman that the LS-15 is an LS-7 with a remote. |
