| Lost - Your combined experience required '...maybe the Monster cable is good...' No, i don't feel it's good cable, but it matches better than the ecosse cable that i also have. And I do agree - certain combos like certain cables a lot more than others. Cmalak - I don't have any friends w... | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required Thanks for your post, Phil, but i do not believe that the cables can fix the issues i'm having. I think i'm looking for a different overall sound, not just the fine tweaks of cable changes (although don't get me wrong - i know they can make dramat... | |
| Blue Circle amplifiers seattle mike:Are you sure you compared the Kandy and the CS directly? No doubt, the Kandy is the more powerful amp of the two, but it is most definitely not better than the CS. I had the CS, Kandy and Unico at my place at the same time. The Unico ... | |
| Over Excursion or Clipping... When your amp is clipping, your music will generally sound compressed and quite distorted. As far as over-excursion, I've overdone that to the point (long ago) that the speaker cone bottomed out and made a loud 'thwack!'. I experienced the former ... | |
| Speaker Burn In... Magfan, i know you're kidding ~! My comment was not directed at you, as either expression works for me too. But the point I was trying to make is that there is a difference between burn-in of electronic components as current passes through them as... | |
| Speaker Burn In... No, i din't mean burn in, although that is a factor too, no doubt. I meant break-in. As in loosening up of the drivers, I guess you could say. Is everything ok now? | |
| Speaker Burn In... I have found that speakers do not so much require 'burn in' as 'break in'. I believe it's a matter of the actual mechanism requiring a bit of 'loosening up' for the speakers to sound optimal.There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that this holds ... | |
| New/ Used speakers, 500-800 bucks CAD KNownothing - the arro DOES mate well with the sugden, but i want a little 'more' of a speaker - one with a bit more authority, even if only a little. I do like the arro, mind you, but I'm looking for a step above, if possible. I'm not sure why, b... | |
| New/ Used speakers, 500-800 bucks CAD btw - never been a B&W fan or a PSB fan, for that matter. In both cases, i think better can be had for the money (yes, even with PSB's new line).Anyone here use Audio Physic speakers? | |
| New/ Used speakers, 500-800 bucks CAD Tried the Arro, and although i like it for what it is, there is a certain tone to the lower registers which i do not like (probably since it's such a small driver trying to do the work). I'll definitely give the Rainmakers a listen, though...haven... | |
| Speaker Hum on my Quad 12L Active's odd question, but do you have a dimmer switch somewhere in the room? if so, look there as a potential issue. just a thought. | |
| LFD Integrated Zero MK III late response here...I have heard this amp in a local place w/ kudo speakers/ neat speakers. Despite not being familiar w/ kudo and only moderately familiar w/ neat (i owned the mystiques II), i would STILL have to agree with Ryder's enthusiastic ... | |
| Baby Steps back to Tubes. ...just a passing thought...I have heard NHT 3.3's with Pass gear and it was wonderful; vice-like grip on the bass, totally veil-free mids and extended highs, without too much 'bite'. | |
| Tower Speakers and Room Size I agree with most of what the two previous posters stated. Medium to larger sized monitors or smaller floorstanders would be how I would lean as well.However, regarding the PSB Synchrony speakers, I have heard one of the bookshelf (read: monitor) ... | |
| Speaker break in: changes in sound question yes, you can expect a general loosening up of the sound; more fluidity and extension, top and bottom. It really is incredible how much a speaker's sound changes as it breaks in. I'm not sure that I would have believed the hype regarding break-in i... |
