| Tools to measure in room response Thanks, Shadorne. | |
| Tools to measure in room response I'd also like to see a recomendation for a mic. My laptop is Vista so I can't use XTC. | |
| pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3 I'm trying to say that I think the 'house' sound of the XA .5 series came through in the audition of the 30.5's. George and I were curious to hear my XA 100.5s on his Vandys but having heard the XA 30.5s on them - and having it be *very* reminicen... | |
| pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3 Hmm. While I'm not an expert on what the Vandy's need, I would think that the fact they have powered subs would mean they wouldn't require that much power. The XA series is known for having a lot more power than the rated value (I think the rated ... | |
| pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3 While waiting for George's response, I can tell you that the XA30.5's were fully burned in and warmed up (George had borrowed them for a while).I can also attest that the Pass doesn't come anywhere close to the Atma-Spheres in terms of texture and... | |
| New ASR Basis Exclusive 2010 Thanks for the offer, Fm540i. I don't live close unfortunatel.Btw, I didn't mean to sound ignorant (but in hindsight I was).I've owned Aerial LR5's and Model 9s and found that they mated well with components that were not warm sounding and assumed... | |
| RMAF and VTL Argh. I never heard this room. Was my first stop on Sunday but they weren't 'open' as of 9am so I went elsewhere and meant to go back, but ran out of time. My loss by the sound of it. | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System I'm trying this machine out now. I'm very impressed. I can clean LPs in a fraction of the time and effort and they come out looking beautiful.I normally use Walker Prelude 4 step and was worried about some audible residue but so far so good. | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp I agree with Sdrenslow that the ARC gear sounded good - especially on the Vandys. I am not a fan of the ARC Ref 3 (even with Vandy 5A), but I'm guessing the Ref5 is better since I loved the sound at the show. | |
| New ASR Basis Exclusive 2010 This is a solid state phono stage? I guess you wouldn't really need a tube phono since you probably get a lot of warmth from those 20Ts... | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise? I'm fascinated by the comments that Last can 'renew' vinyl. Admittedly, I bought a bottle about 8 months ago and have never tried it, worried that it might leave a film and sonic signature that I wouldn't be able to remove. Why I haven't tried it ... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? So I guess you like these better than the Monsters you had recommended earlier, Dave? | |
| How loud do you like to play your music? I find I need a minimum of 80db but prefer between 85 and 90.I always use a SPL meter as I don't want to damage my ears more than they already have been and find it too easy for the volume to creep upwards (as I adjust for different music selectio... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP This is a little late, but here it is.I found the preamp to be incredibly quiet and a good very good performer over all. I really liked how any input could be designated as a home theater bypass, that I could name the inputs etc.I ended up not kee... | |
| Aerial 9 vs Dynaudio Contour S 5.4 I've owned both. Very different speakers. The Aerials are gutsy and thick sounding but unless you have a large room the bass will be muddy. The Dynaudios are much more detailed & airy, but leaner in the midbass. |
