| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? You bet. So did I. | |
| Thiel 1.6 vs Proac 1.5 You got that right, can't say that I've gotten a particularly warm and fuzzy feeling from any of the dealers I've encountered in NYC. As for picking a speaker, as much as I try to be methodical and deliberate about it, at some point I just can't h... | |
| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? Here's that link for it at at music direct:http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?sku=ACARCDI think I need one, too... | |
| Flamenco and Tango For tango, try to find some Daniel Melingo. This fellow has been heralded as the new voice of Argentine tango. He is both taking the tango back to its roots when it was created in the bordellos of La Boca as an ad campaign for prostitutes (vertica... | |
| What is the best tube integrated amp with remote How about the VAC Avatar? that's got a remote. Have to admit that I'm a big fan of Rogue, but have no experience with the Tempest. | |
| Thiel 1.6 vs Proac 1.5 While we're talking about the 1.6's, I spent about a half-hour listening to a pair a couple of weeks ago and was very unimpressed. They sounded flat and constricted. Compared with a pair of Meadowlark Kestrels, the Thiels hadn't even come to the d... | |
| Why do I have to turn the volume level so high? I've got a SR7000 and I have to go to about -25 or better to get to listenable levels. Srikes me as a little odd, but I figure it's just the way Marantz wires the suckers. (By comparison, I've also got a Rogue 99 preamp, and I can't get past about... | |
| please help a rookie Ugh, my friend, that's a monster of a question -- as there are easily more potentially great answers than there are even people to give them. However, as a friend of mine recently asked essentially the same question, I can at least try to explain ... | |
| Completely passive audio system... Brings to mind an e-mail exchange I had with a friend of mine recently in which he was making fun of me for buying a Meridian 508 (ah, the ignorance of the uninitiated). I'd sent him the picture of it from the website to egg him on (the one where ... | |
| Kimber cable - good or bad? I've had a pair of Monocle XL's for about a year and a half and love'em. They made a huge, if not stunning, improvement in my system (at the time, AH!Tjoeb, VTL, Bryston, and Thiel, in that order). That said, I have never compared them to comparab... | |
| Source Selector Fix-It Tips Brilliant, gentlemen. Thanks a million. I love this site. | |
| the unaccompanied voice I picked up a collection entitled simply "Voices" that claims to be a "collection of the worlds greates choirs" about 12 years ago that is a real treat. It is a boxed, 3-disk set that includes everything from Russian choral arrangements to whaleso... | |
| Heart CD6000? That does the trick. Thanks. | |
| Should I buy headphones? I'll cast another vote with the crowd (great to be a follower, no?). I've got the Sennheiser 600's with a Headroom Home amp making them go and I really do like the sound (the processor on the Headroom is switchable, for those times it subtracts fr... | |
| Tubes plus SS I've got a VTL TL 2.5 and a Bryston 4b-st combo that I like a lot (driving Thiels), though I am hoping to upgrade the VTL to a Rogue 99 magnum. I AB'd the VTL and a Rogue (standard edition) driving some Audio Physic speakers with a Krell amp (Cary... |
