| The absolute best and worst-sounding CD you own ? Best:David Gray - A Centuary Ends (very sweet mids)Worst:Counting Crows - August and Everything After (I used to think this was well recorded when I used an HK reciever as my pre and a Carver amp) | |
| Speaker Cables for Paradigm ref 100 V2 I use AP 9 with my 100s and like it very much. I feel AP gave me a significant increase in detail right out of the box, something other more expensive wire didn't do in my opinion. I would like to try Acoustic Zen someday since so many people spea... | |
| Power conditioner question This is one of those things that has been widely discussed and I feel, as do many others, the reason is at night less people are drawing current than mid day. Fewer ACs running, fewer tvs, computers...etc. This leaves more consistent power out the... | |
| Building a Home Theater Room I don't think I can add anything more, but sound proof as best as you can (afford) from the house. I would highly recommend running CAT 5 in this room before the dry wall goes up. That would provide a lot of expandability in terms of home automati... | |
| Carver TFM-35 or upgrade to Sunfire amp? I owned the Carver 35 driving Paradigm Studio 100s and although it was a solid amp, it really was not the best in terms of detail and not the last word in terms of being musical. I went to a pair of Marantz MA500 monoblocks which were much better ... | |
| Best CD Deke,Yes they have completely redone the design. Here is the link...check out the wire used, capacitors and the resistors. Another little kink I see is the temperature within the case. My tube gear gets nice and toasty even with vents.http://engli... | |
| Best CD Deke;I am looking at the Benchmark DAC. Have you heard it by chance? If its all the reviews say it is, it will be a good buy at $850. Have you seen the tubed motherboards being made now? There is a new version out that has top of the line componen... | |
| Best CD Deke,It seems in high end audio, especially with the level of gear Murph is using great care is taken to keep the signal path as clean as possible to minimize distortion and any external noise from entering the line and being processed along with ... | |
| Add a subwoofer or not for two channel only? Bi-amping won't get you extra bass if your speakers can't produce the low frequencies. If MORE bass is what your after, you should concider a) new, full range speakers b) add a sub or c) move the speakers a little closer to the corners of the room... | |
| Best CD Would be a shame to use all that high end gear on a format like MP3. Marantz makes/made? a high capacity changer, and I feel would make a good transport. Sony as mentioned previously, or Denon. I can't say if any of these would really be an improv... | |
| Brisbane, Australia Yeah, I'm a little surprised too, especially with the popularity (at least its making a name here in the States) with Halcro and Whatmaugh. Aussies can make some good stereo gear...and beer.Long live XXXX.Matt | |
| Brisbane, Australia I wish I could join...lived there for 6 months after finishing my degree at JCU in Townsville, but couldn't find a job to get a visa. Au is the closest thing to paradise on earth I have seen. | |
| SF can't repair Pre/pro What to do? I have always dealt with a gentleman named Frank P. from SF/Anthem. I got hooked up with him simply by emailing their customer support. He also was responsible for sending me some extra fuses (free of charge)for my Anthem amp since that type had b... | |
| SF can't repair Pre/pro What to do? Sounds like Scott has you pretty well taken care of, but I thought I'd toss in my $.02. I have had to send a piece of SF gear in for repair twice (2 different issues) and this was a SF piece, not Anthem. Anyway, the first time I sent my piece in w... | |
| Good DVD Concert? Fleetwood MacBee Gees (and I am not a Bee Gees fan, but I own the DVD and love it)EaglesJames TaylorJust to name a few. |
