| classical sampler? Brownsfan has a great point. The radio can be a great way to explore classical, especially if you have a public radio station w/o ads. If you live in the Bay Area, you're screwed in terms of classical radio- it's just awful. Most other major metro... | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Well guys, I've done some experimentation. First, I tried moving the speakers back and the couch forward. Nope. Still bright as hell.Then, I moved the couch back to the wall, and put the speakers 1/4 of the way into the room, as per Trelja's sugge... | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... And Howard, the speakers are actually the same distance from the front wall. The picture is quite deceptive. Thanks for the advice! | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Hi folks, thanks for all the wonderful help. I'll try out these suggestions as soon as I can, you'll hear from me again soon. | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Hi, the left wall is twelve feet to the left of the left speaker. In otherwords, that left speaker is floating in air. This is why I wasn't sure what to do with first reflection points- the two sides are not equidistant to the listener. | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Thanks for the advice. Sadly, I really can't move any furniture. I can, however, change the speaker positioning slightly, or add/subtract foam from the walls. I've experimented with toe in, but haven't found anything that sounds better than this. | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... So I've had to move things around again, hopefully for the last time. Now I'm really clueless about what to do acoustically. I have everything shoved into half of the room, with one speaker about 18" from a wall. Yikes! My system is under 'getting... | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... It really is amazing how many times I've been told about room acoustics and how many times it has failed to sink in! I'll keep all this in mind and not freak out too much about tubes. Thanks guys. | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Newbee, that meant that I put the system in a new position with careful attention paid to addressing acoustical problems. You're right that it's going to sound different, though I'd expect the basic tonality to remain at least similar. Perhaps tha... | |
| Can I install a new arm on this old table? The Pete Riggle is far more money than what I want to spend. I might just have to go with the spacers. Does anyone know where to find them?Thanks! | |
| Can I install a new arm on this old table? Thanks for the suggestion. Can you recommend a decent but cheap VTA adjuster along the lines you've specified? | |
| Can I install a new arm on this old table? Brusson: thanks for your help, much appreciated. I found an RB300 for less than $200, which is on its way. Do you know where one can find these spacers you speak of, and how they're used?Also, I'll be looking for a cheap MM cartridge. Suggestions?... | |
| Can I install a new arm on this old table? Thanks for the reply! How do I know which arms will work and which ones won't? Recommendations? | |
| Best Classical Music for Sonus Faber Stradivari You need to give us more. Classical music is a big genre, and it's hard to know what to recommend when we know nothing about your specific taste.Dvorak's 8th Symphony with Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic is in my CD player at the moment... | |
| Question for classical lovers Big orchestral is really hard to record. Always has been. It's also very difficult to create a good illusion of a huge ensemble in a normal size room. We tend to make more compromises in playback here than for other types of music. Of course there... |
