| What song best sums up the previous year? "1984" by Spirit, inspiration by Orwell and Bush/Cheney | |
| shipping speakers UPS being the master blasters that they are, managed to damage both cabinets and drivers the last time I shipped with them. Then they refused to honor the insurance because the original boxes were used, and that "reshipping causes the box to lose ... | |
| Speakers for Linn Classik? Budget $400-500 When I had my Classik, I paired it with some old DCM Timepieces and it was good, B&W 302's and it was not so good, Sonus Faber Minuettos, and Concerto Homes and it was even more not so good. Then I got a pair of Silverline SR12's, and it was v... | |
| Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon? While I might have liked more of the wrath of god sort of thing when attempts to rip me off were made, and was quite annoyed that the only way to remove unjustified negatives was to agree to withdraw my highly justified negative feedback, I have f... | |
| Do speakers sound better on wood floor or concrete The great concert halls have wood floors, so I'm guessing that's the absolute best you can do, if everything is just right, wood wins. That of course is just for arguments sake, as a real world practical issue it depends on many construction varia... | |
| Picking components -warm / bright which is righ? I agree with those above who point out it's about your own taste. It's really important to learn what you like long term. Some things sound really good for the first few hours, but eventually cause listeners fatigue and reduces your listening time... | |
| What happened to the loudness control? Such intolerance for tone controls! Who makes equipment that keeps the acoustic impact equalized across the entire power spectrum? If I'm listening at low enough levels to want a loudness button, the sound is compromised anyway and the button woul... | |
| Vintage Speakers I have a vague memory that Design Acoustics made such a model. Had no luck googleing it for verification. | |
| Sound proofing any suggestions We had good luck using a product called SONOboard in soundproofing a friends bassement. It came in 4 x 8 sheets. It was used in the ceiling and walls which were then finished with suspended acoustic tile, and knotty pine tongue-in-groove. Now even... | |
| Shipping to Canada? Don't use UPS My experience is that "don't use UPS" is always good advice, no matter where the item is headed. | |
| How do you deal with vibration? I have some experience supporting jadem6. I have two sets of aurios, and liked them under my cd player. At the suggestion of the Audionut folks I found a nice low profile 10 lb barbell weight stuck on some rubber feet and set that on top of my cd ... | |
| When does the law diminishing returns kick in? The point of diminishing returns is dependent on your ears, bank account, and priorities. Do you find yourself saying, "I wish I listened to more music?" If so, there may be some limitation in your system not delivering a sufficiently compelling e... | |
| Linn Classik ? Sound good? I've owned two Classiks with and without the tuner. I was happy with each. Speaker matching is more critical with these units than most other equipment. I found Silverline SR12's worked very well, while for my ears B&W DM302's or Sonus Faber C... | |
| Good "all-in-one" system? Linn Classik?? I've had both as well, and really enjoyed both. They didn't work best with the same speakers. The Classik worked really well with Silverline SR 12's but the L40 didn't. The L40 makes an old pair of DCM Time Pieces sound great, and worked well with... | |
| Creek 53 v classe' CDP-10 v Linn Genki I have no experience with the Classe, but for my tastes the Creek 53 blows the Genki away as far as performance goes. I did find the Creek wants a good interconnect match, the PAD Elementa in my case, to show it's best, but the Genki just never op... |
