| Emotiva xpa1 gen 2 with clsiizs I haven't heard the Emotiva's, but your Jolida combo has such a nice classic tube sound. I see your concern, with the ML's only having a sensitivity of 86 dB but I think you should try them in the new room and see how they perform. Otherwise, I th... | |

| Power cable for ARC CDP There's a AUDIENCE PowerChord original for sale here, also a CARDAS CROSS PC in my price range.Jl35... what did u like about the Audience with the CD3?I should mention that I listen to classical almost exclusively and that means dealing with the s... | |
| vibrapods -- which component? "Miketuason.....Those vibrapods make VPI's rubbery sounding."True! And not only VPI, they change the sound of my Linn. | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? That's a good find, Frogman, Muti with the Philadelphia playing Bolero as it was intended to be. And it is a modern-day recording.Yes, the snare is very well defined in that clip, but it is unlike anything one is likely to hear at a performance.I ... | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? Frogman makes an excellent point and I agree with him except for one caveat; that most modern day performances of "Bolero" would be close-mic'd. The overall sound is determined by the record label producers (many classical labels have a 'house sou... | |
| Exemplary active nearfield speakers under $1k? I've used the Mackie HR series...nice.Mackie HR624mk2 (about $1000) and HR824mk2. | |
| Monster Z 1.2 speaker cables.... Never heard the M series cables. It might be an improvement over the original cable, but knowing Monster, they probably are inferior to their competitors.For a budget system, try Belden or Canare sold by Blue Jeans Cable.http://www.bluejeanscable.... | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? Kiddman; I hope you are using your drum kit for more than testing your system. (From one drummer to another). | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? as I write this, listening to "something else" by cannonball Adderley (with Miles), and the hi-hats sound faint and muted as well.Elegal, great music, but not a good reference to test your system. Back in the day the engineers used a minimal amoun... | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? Mapman"Are you sure it is a good recording?"CD or Vinyl? Use a recording known to be high SQ; try a modern-era studio jazz recording that produces a crisp snare and tight bass with good dynamic range. Or maybe you have a reference CD? | |
| Eliminate hum with Cary 805AE amplifiers? Is the hum audible thru the speakers or do you hear the hum at the amp? Also do you have a dedicated AC line?If the amp is humming, it could be from the transformer or it could be DC coming thru the power line. I'm asking you to clarify so you'll ... | |
| advice on dedicated line Would it be workable for me to get 6 outlets instead if 4 in case I ever wanted to plug in a small fm receiver to listen to the news? Or is that pushing my luck?IMO, a better idea is to use a high quality power strip for your low current component... | |

| advice on dedicated line Here's a question to all you knowledgeable folks...Its been mentioned many times to have the digital components on their own dedicated line; now I'm assuming this means a transport cabled to an external DAC or a hard drive setup. Why is it recomme... |
