| taming female voice I would start by changing the source. It may just be too stark. The other issue is definitely listening position and room acoustics. Other than that the system should be sweet. | |
| Secondary Speaker Paradigms are big enough but are not the last word in speakers. But in a space that large with bass to spare you might want to consider them. | |
| How Old is Old when considering an Amp? Krell, Bry This is a very good question. I have some amps that are 40+ years old that work but required maintenance. On the other hand I am using a 30ish year old integrated in a second system that never needed any repairs and sounds great for what it is. I ... | |
| Power Cords Unbelievable but true the last few feet make a difference. It appears to be more than just the voltage it can deliver, the alloy used has a pronounced effect on the sonics in my system. At the risk of repeating what others have said using a partic... | |
| Review: Thorens TD-185 Turntable Glad to see a negative review, for the sake of balanced and true opinion. Frankly I would have liked to see the inexpensive alternative do well. However if its not up to snuff its good to know. I am looking for a second table. I already own an MMF... | |
| New to the Hobby what would you do next? Stop now before its too late and you impoverish yourself. If you are happy with the sound leave it alone. If you plan on spending a lot more money keep searching for the elusive perfect sound. Minor tweaks may make you feel better, but even better... | |
| Good Semi-automatic Turntables ? Check out some of the vintage gear some models the 301 Garrard modded commands a high price but I don't know for sure if it sounds good. You can find Automatics all over epray see if any have a good rep and then ask. | |
| What colors match for interconnects? The logic of using the time honored traditional Red for right and Black for left to denote channels is obvious. I think Bunnyrabid was referring to WAF type issues so if you furniture sheme is light wood and your gear silver what color. I say Whit... | |
| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? Most hospitals operate with deficits or lttle or no margin even in the non for profits. They end up absorbing a lot of cost even with "good insurance", that's the deal with the seatbelt law and the high tax cigarettes. The philosophy of laws that ... | |
| Budget speakers for Orchestral music? Orchestral with 12 watts is a challenge, first I would try the new Omega Grands, they are single driver but sound big and have midrange or believe it or not you may want to check out vintage JBLs. They play big sound mostly midrange and up on few ... | |
| Amp Question Please advise You may have to sit closer if you want low level detail in a room that big. (and more power with a detailed amp won't hurt.) | |
| Is my system bottlenecked? Given the power you are feeding them they "should" be lean sounding, not muddy. I highly disagree that Vandy 2's are the answer. What I think you need are more clinical sounding speakers or a new front end. Also a quick fix can be had by using thi... | |
| The last 5 ????? Firstly with regards to the last 5% and logs. What you are describing when making a comparison with the Richter scale is an a steep asymptote. You're simply describing the law of diminishing returns. I disagree with a couple of concepts. The first... | |
| Sovtek 6550 - Can they really be THIS bad??? Yes and I wouldn't fret over changing them. | |
| B&W Rip-Off I think it is completely respectable. I admire the guy for telling it like it is. I agree with all those that support the guy. He is poking fun at himself and not claiming anything other than these are not what they appear to be.I am surprised tha... |
