| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything Because of their shape, the Elipsa SE are actually very easy to make sound good. If you take you time and set they up properly, they will really shine.I have a pretty good size room and so far have not felt the need for a sub. There is a long th... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything Did you see the Tone Audio review of the Elipsa SE? These are superb speakers and truly gorgeous in the violin red. Underpowered they wont sound quite as dynamic and as I mentioned, the bass won't be as crisp. They really need 100 wpc or more to ... | |
| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything What amp would you be driving the Elipsa SE with? ARC is a great match but the VSI 75 is a bit under powered. The bass for one will not be as crisp. I have a Ref 110 (with KT120 tubes) driving my Elipsa SE speakers. This combo works really well, ... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 On the plastic remote for my CD7, the battery cover started falling off all the time. Then the weight inside came loose and started banging around. ARC sent me a metal one. My Ref 5se came with a metal remote. I have told ARC many times that th... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 Those Remotes are embarrassingly cheap for a preamp at this price level. The remote for my LS25 was higher quality. The metal remote though is just the plastic one in a metal case. But at least you don't need a rubber band to hold the battery cov... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 I have a Ref 5se and love it. A Ref 6 will cost you twice as much as a used Ref 5se. If you buy a used Ref 5se at a good price, you can always sell it later for pretty much what you paid for it. So you could have a Ref 5se now and upgrade later ... | |
| I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies A lot of CD copies do sound better than the original CD. I think it has to do with error correction. Watch a CD spin in a top loader with a window. CDs are not perfectly balanced and will oscillate. I believe this can cause read errors. I think ... | |
| How to STOP PayPal from consistent breaking and breaching privacy. This is quite common. I have not had any problems with Paypal but I have had problems with credit cards. If what you wish to purchase does not fit their profile of you, then they may declined your purchase. | |
| Used Sonus Faber vs. New Entry level SF? Definitely go used. Search by zip code and see what is available used in your area. Some of the inexpensive Sonus Faber speakers were made in China. The quality, especially of the finish is not nearly as good as the speakers made in Italy. I have... | |
| XiangSheng 728A Two knobs are better than one. My Audio Research Ref 5se has two knobs. | |
| Are Avalon still in Bussines They are still around but I had the same bad experience. They are only open 4 days a week. I called numerous times and left messages, they never called me back. I can't remember what I wanted but it was some little thing. It made me worry though ... | |
| Anthem STR - ARC or not ARC? The Elipsa SE should have a deep wide lush soundstage. The room correction is screwing up the sound. I can't even imagine the Elipsa SE sounding in your face. This is the exact opposite of their nature. Personally neither of these would be my cho... | |
| How to adjust BIAS on Audio Research D160? How long has it been since the amplifier was used? What is the condition of the caps? Have they ever been replaced? If the caps are original they most likely need to be replaced. If it has been a while since the amp has been used and even if it h... | |
| Question .. I hear a loud pop through speakers every couple minutes when playing vinyl Having a humidifier in the room during winter really helps with static electricity. Definitely worth the trouble. | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 The HC is a better power cord than the analog because of the sheilding. It was also more expensive then either the Anolog or Digital. I talked with Grant at Shunyata a few years ago and asked him about the different power cords. He told me that t... |
