| Kimber Kable 12TC vs. 8TC for 15ft runs. Thanks all. I purchased a set of 12TC. | |
| room dimention question Fly tying to good music, great! I also store fly fishing gear in my audio room. In a corner closet, I have removed the door and store my sleeping bags and pads, makes a great bass trap. Enjoy. | |
| What should I upgrade next? I agree with those suggesting tweaking the room acoustics to include a reevaluation of speaker placement, listening position, and equipment placement.I also agree that computer audio would be a nice fit. | |
| room dimention question Some advise far more easily provided than adhered to:1) 2 -3 dedicated outlets, isolate digital from analog,2) 1" sound panel on primary reflection point on ceiling and and 2" on walls adjacent to speakers, also on rear wall behind speakers. Also ... | |
| price point to move to separates vs integrated I switched from an integrated to seperates. This choice was driven by equipment positioning more so than sonics. I wished to avoid having my equipment rack between speakers and at my side. I also did not want to run longer than 15ft speaker cables... | |
| Loss of bass & full spectrum sound Is it possible that the speaker drivers have a defect which shows up after they have been driven for a while? | |

| Thoughts on interconnect vs. speaker cable length. Thanks all. Given I have ~$3500 invested in the amp and speakers, I believe $300 would be reasonable to spend on the used market. | |
| Information regarding Audible Illusions 3A Thanks to all. I do love this preamp. Found that it prefers shorter ICs due to high output impedance. I am driving a BEL 1001 MKV with it. Have ordered a new set of tubes from Art. Have no problems with my current set but want backups. On to the m... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers IMO:1) Speakers contribute more to the character of a system than do the other components (maybe exception = cartridges). 2) Amplifier technology is much more mature than digital front end technology. A quality amp will please for many years. Digi... | |
| BK ST-140 Power Amp Have you contacted B&K? I owned one of these amps for 25 years. Great amp, best budget amp made in 1980s. Wish I hadn't sold it. | |
