| Tube amp for Reference 3A - SET or push-pull? I owned deCapos for a while and they were great w/SET amps - Cary 300B monos in my case. I highly recommend the combo, but....I do wonder how this set-up will square with your taste in music. The deCapos have significantly more bottom end than mos... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Santana Abraxas?I don't want Santana Abraxas!I can't afford Santana Abraxas!(Larry Gopnik to Columbia Record Club, courtesy of Joel and Ethan Coen - A Serious Man) | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend I'll add my condolences...just sad news. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Moon,I'd agree with Mapman, the height thing is really recording specific. One of my favorite "studio-stunt" recordings to demo the imaging capabilities of the Ohms (100s w/ a pair of Rythmik subs in my case) is found on Lindsey Buckingham's "Unde... | |
| Digital inputs to zone 2 out What is your digital source?If you are taking the digital signal out of a disc player into a digital input on the AVR, you might be able to run a second rca cable "alongside" the set up from the disc player's analog out into an analog input on the... | |
| best sound for a classical and jazz cd IMHO, one way to enjoy the Blue Note sound and beat the "thin" bottom end exhibited by some of their (especially RVG's) stuff is to go for the better Jimmy Smith titles. You might start with "Prayer Meeting" - which features some really cool playi... | |
| Damien Jurado/Maraqopa Very nice. That first YouTube track really evokes Paul Simon at his prettiest - not a half bad place to start, in my book. I'm off to Amazon, now. Thanx for the tip.Marty | |
| best used Pre/Pro for $1000 I'd cross shop the Onkyo PRSC 5508/9 with the Integras. I believe that these are substantially identical to the Integra equivalents - but sometimes (not always) sell for a bit less $.Good LuckMarty | |
| Small Room On/In-Wall/Ceiling Recommendation I've used a mix of Gallo Micros and A'divas in a room much larger than yours with very good results. There's little doubt in my mind that - when coupled with the right subwoofer(s) - this is a great value solution for Home Cinema use. IMHO, it's a... | |
| Subwoofer questions -- music only If you can stretch to $1149, this is reportedly a great value:http://www.svsound.com/subwoofers/sealed-box(Disclaimer: I've never heard these units, my "recommendation" is based on test results and the overall excellent reputation of SVS subwoofer... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? For erndog and rower:The NHT is a very good unit. I used it with my Velo SMS-1, because I wasn't crazy about Velodyne's internal hi-pass. The NHT is pretty much transparent (to my ear, anyway),really flexible, and reasonably priced | |
| Need your recommendations for amazing recordings Allen Toussaint "The Bright Mississippi". Tradition N'Awlins jazz beautifully played and strikingly recorded. | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? Rower,I'd say that your argument for a pair of DD 12s is pretty convincing. I'll go out on a limb and suggest that - if you do pull the trigger on that combo - you will be very happy with the results. It's not the specific approach that I use, but... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Stph,There aren't that many omnis out there. As to the best known brands, here's one thought:The big Ohms don't cost enough. The big MBL costs too much.Just about every reviewer seems to own a pair with a price tag somewhere in between.MartyOmnis ... |
