Sub crossover setting....
I don't use any sound level meters (although I own one) or rules of thumb, if you have adjustable crossover on sub just start adjusting while a song with steady bass beat is playing......you will know when crossover is set too high because of pron... 
Analysis-Plus Solo Crystal Oval cables.
I would say that AP Solo Crystals are overall superior to Silver Ovals despite lower price, I sold my silver ovals long ago. The Solos also have very balanced full sound, would like to hear what they sound like with Eichmann Silver Bullet RCAs.Are... 
Question for Tyler Reference Monitor owners
I use the down position which seems to recess images a bit giving the illusion of deeper soundstage. It really is subtle difference, try both and see what you prefer.Also I had special stands made for me by Tyler to make overall speaker/stand heig... 
Jet...the new Ac/dc?
Got the JET album at Best Buy for $9.99........pretty good but has 4-5 slow/mid tempo bluesy ballads which are not my cup of tea.....more interested in straight ahead rockers like video song. So I got 6-7 good songs on this CD for me,not quite as ... 
How distorted with sub line in or speaker output
I always use RCA connections from preouts to sub.....not only is it simplier/cleaner installation, but who wants the extra cost of another set of speaker cables plus the extra connections to degrade sound of main speakers? Also since ICs used only... 
Jet...the new Ac/dc?
Saw newest video........reminds me of STROKES alot, sounds pretty good and better that 95% of the crap they play on MTV / VH1 ...........I may pick up album since I like this garage rock slacker style. 
Is solid state on the brink of extinction?
Seems Acoutic Reality not afraid to put their products out for review.......6 Moons also has review coming on Pre2/Enigma power amp combo. 
Upgrading a Bel Canto Dac1.0??
I would skip the upgrade to version 1.1, really pretty minor sound change. Just go for Dac 2 which is really whole new 24/192 design and is noticeable improvement overall.Also I would just look to buy used Dac 2 for not much more than cost/hassle ... 
Which Beethoven's symphony do you like the best?
I love all Beethoven symphonies and have 8-9 complete sets, my favorites are symphony 7,8 because I think these have the more interesting and enjoyable middle movements which make these two the best overall for me.I think for performances I prefer... 
Good site available to classical music/CD reviews
Music Web has huge collection of reviews, go to opening page below and search or go to individual months in middle of page.........for instance 11/03 has 398 reviews, use alphabetical guide part 2-7 upper left hand side to navigate 11/03 edition.T... 
Is solid state on the brink of extinction?
Muralman,That is certainly a beautiful unit, chrome triangle made in Denmark, and the price is great if it performs for others as it did for you.1)Did you purchase direct or go through dealer? How long to receive if direct? 2)Is it true that speak... 
vtf-2 versus stf-2 subwoofer
After checking the rear photo of STF2 I see a problem for 2 channel stereo users, the two low level RCA inputs found on VTF2 are replaced by single "sub" RCA with STF2. Good for home theater set-ups, but 2 channel preamps/integrateds usually don't... 
vtf-2 versus stf-2 subwoofer
I suspect it will be very good, but too new for any feedback. Also no photo of back of unit......have to hope they kept same flexible control features especially the 30-90hz crossover feature as VTF2.I see they wised up and feature metal cones now... 
New Headphone User
I have very good Headphone set-up also listed in my systems,I love Senn HD600 but stock cord must go, get good aftermarket brand like Cardas......the improvement is not subtle, this is mandatory upgrade.Headphones are capable of incredible detail ... 
Wait a Minute Do those Cardas Caps Work
The most useful feature for me is to cover unused RCAs on preamp so when changing ICs behind rack with minimal clearance you instantly know where to insert new ICs........looks pretty cool to have two rows of shiny caps also.As far as sound improv...
