| How important for surrounds to match fronts? I had 3 identical speakers across the front and 2 smaller timber matched for the rears. I upgraded the 2 fronts for stereo and now waiting for the matched center and rears to arrive. For me, I like everything to match sonically and visually. The b... | |
| B&W 803d vs 804d2 I had a pair of 803d's in a medium size room - 17 x 13 and thought they over powered it and took them out. The 804d2's may have been a better fit, though I never compared the two. My 803d's did love power though. Went from 1 MC352 to 2 MC352's to ... | |
| Audio Physic Classic series I have a pair of the Classic 30's. I like them so much I decided to purchase a Center and pair of Classic 20's for the rears of an entire HT system. I had them hooked up to MC275 mono tube amps but I preferred them hooked up to MC601 SS monos. I m... | |
| Tube amp for AZ Crescendos? I would have to disagree. My Crescendos love solid state. I prefer my McIntosh mono MC601's over my mono MC275's powering them. When I demoed the Crescendos at the AZ Facility they were powered with SS. I know many love them with tube power but I ... | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. I am running a 3m cable from my phono pre-amp to my pre-amp. I am using an upgraded cable for the 3m distance. Sounds great to me. | |
| Upgrading KEF 104/2 Cross Overs Sorry to be a downer but I wouldn't spend any money to upgrade your 104.2s. I believe putting new crossovers and drivers in them changes these wonderful speakers. My pair of 104.2s are 29 years old, I purchased them new, they finally gave out and ... | |
| Best way to wire up a sub I have an older Velodyne sub with RCA inputs only. I find it much too boomy for 2 channel but fine for HT. I have it going through a A/V processor using the sub out RCA. I have JL subs coming out of my preamp connected with XLR cables. The JL's ar... | |
| Quick poll: Rega RP6 or Marantz TT-15 ? I only have experience with the Marantz TT -15. This TT got me back into vinyl big time. I had forgotten have great records sounded. I never had any problems with this TT. My only problem with it was that it made me want to get even more into anal... | |
| Power Cord up to $100? Wireworld entry level cables sound much better than stock to me. I believe you can get them for under $100. As you go up their price levels they sound better and better but at more $$. | |
| Do you run a high end power cord on your sub? I noticed an improvement in sound quality with upgraded PC's on my JL f113's while listening to 2 channel music. For HT (movie effects) I don't notice that much of a difference. | |
| SDS or phono stage I use the on/off button on the TT as I find it more convenient to use. I spoke with VPI and they told me that there was no problem doing it that way. VPI says not to have the SDS too close to the TT. When I had it about six inches away it created ... | |
| Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables Westcoman, I think you will notice much more of an improvement by upgrading your speakers than the cables to them unless they are in a very small room. I like the Staffs but spending $1000 on cables to a $1500 pair of speakers seems extreme. I lik... | |
| SDS or phono stage Arsh, i purchased a Digital Photo Tachometer Model: DT-2234C+. There were a bunch of sellers. | |
| grills or no grills on your speakers..matters? Grills are always off except when company is over. Sounds best to me that way. I don't want anyone touching the drivers. | |
| SDS or phono stage I find the strobe disk a little hard to read with my old eyes. Using a digital tack from Amazon for only $16.00 makes it easy for the fine adjustments that the SDS is capable of. |
