| Metal cabinet speakers geoffkait, notice the two "f"s. Just went to the Audiomachina web site. Interesting design. I like that it is a line source and I like that it goes into corners although that will cause issues with some rooms. Question, what are the 1/2 inch diame... | |
| Sound quality vs. volume The last three posts are correct in their own way except newtoncr 105dB is pushing the danger point for your ears. Tweek the bass and the treble up just 1-2 dB and 95 dB will sound just as good. Elliot you can have a marvelous sounding system that... | |
| what is more important ? Speakers. The difference between cheap speakers and good ones is huge. The difference between a cheap anything else and a good one not so much except maybe cartridge. The speakers will determine the sound of your system more than anything else. Wi... | |

| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs don_c55, Magnepans are linear radiators down to about 150 Hz. Below that they are point source radiators just like any single sub woofer. Maggies will make bass but it is very lumpy for lack of a better term. Not only is their response not smooth ... | |
| How much power do I need? Find out using this method... roberjerman, your ears are shutting down because of distortion not volume. I routinely subject innocents to 95 dB after appropriate warm up.They start trying to talk to you not realizing how loud it is. Now most rock concerts are up at 110 dB but ... | |
| Shelter 501 mkii then what now I do not believe in re tipping. If you want it remanufactured send it back to Shelter. The Clearaudio Essence MC and the Audio Technic AT ART9 are both excellent trackers and solid sonic performers. I have never listened to the Shelter so I can no... | |
| Maggies and Wells Audio together Hi jimbones, You will love the 3.7i ! Although I would prefer more power your Wells will do fine up to around 90 dB. Sonically it will be fine. If you ever decide to get subwoofers your headroom will increase to 95 dB. I have set up two 3.7 and fo... | |

| ATI AT6007 amplifier hum Kanfive. Call ATI and tell them what is going on. I suspect you need a new transformer. You can also check the transformer mounts. Some companies isolate the transformer from the chassis with special mounts. Check the hardware. In your case I beli... | |
| How much power do I need? Find out using this method... Thanx cal3713. Great link! Every audiophile should have a meter if just to test fuses and continuity in other devices and as you found out relatively decent ones can be had for little cash. Another nice tool to have is a dB meter to check volume l... | |
| Speaker Recommendations budget of <6k new or used You say listening "area." Is that area part of a larger room? | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. Better to have one great set of speakers then several sets of not so great ones. When you can afford better one sell the old ones and move on. Same for all other Hi Fi equipment accept maybe cartridges. Having a bunch to use is great fun. | |
| Recommendations for a Phono Preamp I would worry more about how it matches your preamp. As long as the unit has adjustable loading it can be made to match the Miyajima. I would get a Pass XP 15. | |
| MARANTZ MODEL 10 TUBE AMP/ TUNER AND MARANTZ 7 TUBE PREAMP The 7C was a great, perhaps the best sounding preamp of the mid 60s.I bought one used around 1970. By the time I sold it the switches and potentiometers had started to get scratchy. Back then sealed switches and potentiometers were not used at lea... |
