| Best setup for two subwoofers. FWIW,My own experience would suggest a few things, all of which have already been mentioned, but none of which may be clear from the debate:If you lack bass management software in your system, an array of four optimally placed subs is likely to pr... | |
| Building HT, 2 channel audio guy needs help Notwithstanding Audiooracle's opinion to the contrary, IME, if you're using a subwoofer (or subwoofers) when you listen to music, you are FAR better off ditching any tube pre-amp (specifically including your CJ) for a pre-pro. Seamless subwoofer t... | |
| Can this sub arrangement work, please sub pro's? You might consider these:http://www.vienna-acoustics.com/products/Factsheets/12_Schoenberg_V02_WEB150.pdfI use them in my HT room (with subs). They look great and sound more than very good (tho perhaps somewhat less than truly great) in 2 channel ... | |
| Oldest piece of gear you own I've got a pair of Sonus Faber Minuetto speakers in my office that I've owned for 20 years. | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Rathmullan,You made a great choice, but I don't think Matthew Sweet played that solo. The band that recorded Girlfriend included Ivan Julien, Robert Quine, and Richard Lloyd - three monster electric guitarists. Sweet is an underrated player and mi... | |
| Songs That Sound the Same At the moment you've got "Blurred Lines" and Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up" in the news due to a pending lawsuit. George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and half of Jimmy Page's songs were subject to similar legal action. Harrison lost - and IIRC (a... | |
| KT 66 or NOS EL34 My experience with those tubes in my Prima Luna 6 monos exactly mirrors that of the OP. The converse is that the EL34 is warmer sounding and more forgiving up top. I'd argue that, depending on your system's specific needs, you should choose the ap... | |
| The Rides "Can't Get Enough" Album Just fired it up on MOG - playing as I type. So far, so good.Thanx for the heads up. | |
| Best of Both Worlds, Hybrid Amps . IMHO, hybrids with tube input and SS output sections are SS amps. A good one will be an excellent SS amp. Amps with this topography have never IME sounded like tube amps, probably because they don't interact with the loudspeaker the way a tube amp... | |
| Alarm Clock with Audiophile Grade Sound? I have a Tivoli which looks great but offers nothing special sonically, IMHO. These days I use my iPad and a pair of Audyssey media speakers. The sound is vastly superior (tho "audiophile" might be a stretch) and the access to my on board music li... | |
| Best Band of the Big Band Era ? I don't know Charlie Barney, but will check it out since Count Basie is a favorite, Bennie G is a hero, and Duke Ellington did some fantastic stuff with big bands - notably Far East Suite. In my book, That's a pretty good lineage to cross!Barking ... | |
| Song With Best Beginning Baba O'RileyPete Townsend finally figures out an interesting way to use a synthesizer. | |
| Need help on choosing a sub-woofer? Personally, I'd go for a pair of subs - but a pair of 13 Ultras might be overkill for your room. I'd discuss it with SVS - and I wouldn't be surprised if they suggested that you step down to a pair of 12+. Either way, that's a pair of high perform... | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? It had been quite a while since I last listened to Richard Thompson's cover of Brittney Spears' hit "Oops, I Did it Again". I almost forgot how great it is. Who knew that there was a real song hiding inside that record. | |
| Please alleviate my fears There are a lot of volume pots/readouts that work that way - a long span of inaudible, highly attenuated output and a digital indication of how far down the listening level is from unity gain. It doesn't necessarily mean anything at all regarding ... |
