| whats the finest recorded cd you've heard? Agree that Amused is a novelty, but the dog barking way outside the speakers does confirm, IMHO, proper speaker placement. I used a Stanley FatMax ($80 or so)for measuring. My method was based on that in Jim Smith's Get Better Sound - establish a ... | |
| whats the finest recorded cd you've heard? Dreadhead, play around with speaker positioning a little more. The dog should be more like 50 feet to the left (right on my set up) of the speaker. I only discovered this after buying a laser measuring tool and getting my speakers precisely placed... | |
| Weird Speaker Placement Configurations I am forced into a diagonal placement and am pleased with the result. For a while I fretted over all the talk of reflections, standing waves etc but as I became more educated on the topic realized I had none of these issues - or at least they were... | |
| Beatles 1 sound quality? I would rate it poor - take a listen to "Love" to better understand what the Beatles could sound like with a truly great remastering. | |

| Good matching speakers for YBA Integre DT I have used ProAc's Studio 125 and D15's with YBA gear for a long time. I have been happy. | |
| The Swell Season - Refreshing DVD Concert Finally had a chance to watch this show - I can see how many would enjoy the laid-back, almost sweet songs and arrangements. A little too Amos Lee-like for my tastes, as I prefer a more robust band. Sound quality was good for a DVD, but the acoust... | |
| The Swell Season - Refreshing DVD Concert Thanks for the recommendation. I absolutley love Trinity Revisited for both quality of sound and vision. | |
| Outdoor Speakers......please I like the Niles outdoor speakers. Good selection and performance at all price points. | |
| Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Revisited...In deed Once again, watch the DVD, including the "making of" documentary. I still have the songs in my head several days after viewing! | |
| Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Revisited...In deed I watched the DVD last night. All I can say is Margo is now on my list of hot women (mostly redheads) with great bands! Unless you are a true Junkies fan, you can't fully appreciate the CD without seeing the performance on the DVD first. Mesmerizi... | |
| Robert & Alison-Raising Sand What is interesting is that noone has mentioned that T-Bone produced two other what I would call "Americana" efforts - O Brother and Cold Mountain. Both of these are favorites of mine and my guess is his work with Alison on these set the stage for... | |
| Outdoor audiophile gear? I would check out Niles outdoor speakers - many different versions depending on your needs and budget. I run OS 20's and am pleased. |
