| Spikes and hardwood floors.....what to do? Have a look at the Superspikes on this page. It's an interesting product that may or may not be suitable for your purposes.http://www.uhfmag.com/MiscAccessories.html | |
| Linn Mimik CD Issue My Mimik doesn't have any problems of the kind you describe. My first thought was that the laser is misaligned, possibly by being bumped. Howwever, that should affect all CD's. Since it is only specific CD's that it has trouble with, I'm thinking ... | |
| Best In wall/ In ceiling speakers? Have a look at Mirage Omnisats or Omnicans. Their omnipolar design gives them an even distribution of sound over 360 degrees. | |
| Single binding posts on Thiel CS 6 Thiel speakers are well known for their crossovers and are designed to be only single wired. That's why they only have a single pair of binding posts. | |
| How critical is placement for Vandy 2 ce Sig. ? Placement is critical for all speakers. However, the Vandersteen website contains a very detailed FAQ section which discusses placement issues. If a question isn't answered, you can submit one and it may even be answered by the man himself! If I r... | |
| PC connect to audiophyle system If you use a "Y-cable", you certainly have some resolution loss comnpared with an audiophile set-up. As for volume limitation, you shouldn't have less volume than what you can comfortably listen to. You can also buy audiophile grade sound cards as... | |
| PC connect to audiophyle system Sar67, I think what you may be thinking is to run a "Y-cable" from your PC to your pre-amp. All you need is a cable with a mini-jack on one end that you plug into a line-out on your computer sound card, eg. speaker or head-phone output. The other ... | |
| Mirage Sat VS. Klipsch RSX? Never heard the Klipsch, but I have heard Omnisats. I was quite impressed with them.Aside from sound quality, keep in mind that the Omnisats are omnipolar. You can be anywhere in the room and get consistent sound. From pictures, I note that the Kl... | |
| the next step--20 amp circuit Lots of good stuff in the archives as Rushton suggests. However, I can't resist saying a couple of things.Regular Romex type of housewire is fine. It will be 12/2 for a 20 amp circuit. I have no idea what else you could possibly use anyway, at lea... | |
| speaker to big? You mentioned resolution and imaging. Other variables being constant, a small speaker will image better than a larger one for a variety of reasons based in physics. One reason, for example, is that the smaller speaker will have its drivers closer ... | |
| Some Questions about Plasma Screens Plasmas do have burn in issues but it would not be a problem unless you have a still image in place for a long period of time. Realistically, that's not likely to occur. However, the black bar issue would be something that would concern me. I will... | |
| Video Question: Plazma or LCD??? There is an awful lot of stuff in the archives on this. If I had to distill it down to one point for each side, I would say that colours are better on plasmas (and blacks). On the other hand, resolution is better on LCD because it has smaller pixe... | |
| Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers? Like Bob said. If you have a receiver and an integrated at the same price point, hopefully, the cost of the tuner is used for better parts in the integrated and it will sound better. However, design is as important as "parts". Therefore, an integr... | |
| future of 2 channel CD sound If there is, it will be on a DVD so as to provide storage space for the extra data. Or it will come as an internet download as internet bandwidth increases. | |
| Cat owner wants speakers I am rational and humane despite having declawed cats. And so is my father-in-law who was a practising vet for about 40 years and has declawed thousands of cats. If you have evidence to the contrary, please present it rather than relying upon mora... |
