| Outdoor Speakers I run Niles OS 20's - not even sure if they make them anymore but they have a nice bass response for their size and have been indestructible. | |
| Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors. Palasr - intrigued by the viablue spikes. Wonder how well they would work over Herbie's gliders, which I am happy with mostly due to their maneuverability. Good looking spikes - any further comments, tips, etc on their application/installation? | |
| To Couple or Decouple? I second the Herbies gliders, if only to make moving/positioning the speakers very easy. Much disagreement about whether to couple/decouple. My experience is that unless you play at very high db's it might not matter. YMMV | |
| Help with compression and dynamic range Hello youngster, re concert DVD/Blu-rays most recent ones have better specs than cd's and sound very good. I do not think the specs are printed on the jackets, etc but your player / TV should display the specs if there is a menu choice for it. Wha... | |
| Norah Jones Agreed, excellent SQ and great music/songs/vocals. My bet this one is a surprise hit if it can get some mainstream airplay. | |
| Norah Jones I also have been enjoying this one, only on cd. I would argue it's more a country vibe, but agree the SQ is very, very good. Great songs also. If this gets any airplay it could be a big surprise hit. | |
| Norah Jones Her country cd "Little Willies" is a go-to in my house. Great songs and musicianship and I am not a big country fan. She really knows how to pick a song. Second Little Willies cd is not nearly as good. Agree on her versatility - anyone see her sin... | |
| Harmonic Resolution Damping Plates I had a large plate on top of my YBA Passion integrated for over a year. I happened to remove it one day and realized I now had slightly better high frequency response - the damping was too much for my amp, apparently. Everything is system depende... | |
| Fav. recordings that fell flat in a hi-end system I really enjoy Arcade Fire - seen them a few times on DVD/Cable TV, etc but never live (i'm probably too old). Remind me a lot of the Talking Heads in their hey day. Their CD's, however, are totally unlistenable on my system - way too much compres... | |
| Speaker cables comparison chart:: Much Needed Try to find a pair of used Zu Libtecs on A'gon or Ebay. Lots of value for the money. I found them to work wonderfully with my ProAc's. If you don't like them you can usually resell for very minimal loss, if any. | |
| Outdoor Speakers: Paintable I have a pair of Niles OS 20's outdoors. Nice sound as long as the source material is more focused on the mid range and does not have a lot of treble. They came with an extra special grille that covers the drivers and allows you to paint the speak... | |
| Outdoor opinions? I run Niles outdoor speakers - OS20's. There may be a newer version but I am happy with their performance. The interesting thing about them is that the better the source material the better they sound - even outside. | |
| YBA preamp PSupply help Call michael at audio plus services. Very helpful and they were/are yba distributers. | |
| Jeff Beck Rock-n-Roll Party I agree, one of the best concert videos I have. Imelda May is such a great performer. Saw her live this fall in Chicago (without JB) - great show. Also, the cut with Trombone Shorty really wails - great horn section. | |
| Grounding question? Interesting thread, what happened? |
