| Best Integrated Amp for PSB Image T6 Speakers What is your budget for an amp? And what is your source; CD, computer audio?The PSB house sound is very dynamic with tons of bass, even at the Image speaker level. Clearly your NAD is not up to the task. | |
| Better than the Project Carbon TT for $ 500.00 Totally agree w/ Johnnyb. How do you know you'll never want to buy another record, especially when you have a nice sounding analogue system?Debut Carbon DC...The first thing Pro-Ject did was to give the Debut Carbon (DC) a new power supply with a ... | |

| Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else? Tariff is an import/export tax, same as "duty" to cross a country's border.You've got a point, I don't think I was charged a tariff on used items between Canada/US. It's probably because they're a business. | |
| Beginner's Technics SL-1200 questions Regarding isolation, I have access to various sheets of thick rubber and foam (neoprene, EPDM, silicone, etc) and may try that out. Is the goal of isolation under the feet only for foot steps and effects of bass?IMO, with these materials, you will... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 1.1 or Dynaudio Focus 160 Dylanfan, Egoben raises a good point; getting the bass tight. I doubt you will need bass traps, but probably a couple of panels for low to mid frequency absorption placed on the wall behind you. | |
| Dynaudio Contour 1.1 or Dynaudio Focus 160 The Focus 160s will provide a surprising amount of bass in your 9 x 12 room. In addition to having the smooth highs and mids of the Focus line. | |
