| Source for low cost redbook CDs I find cduniverse.com has a very good selection (good on obscure stuff usually) and the prices tend to be pretty cheap. | |
| Avid Volvare - SME IV arm or Tri-planar VII ??? Thanks to everyone who posted here. I'm looking at the same 3 tables and have learned a ton from this thread. Two questions:1) Khrys alluded to differences in sound between spurng and non-sprung tables, and I'm wondering if he (or anyone else) can... | |
| Blackout I'd simply adress the door like you would a large window, and have curtains made from dark and heavy fabric, and hang them from a rod above the door, on the inside of the theater room. If you tack sashes to either side of the entrway, then the cur... | |
| VPI Sup. S.M. vs. Avid Volvere vs. Clearaudio Amb. I'm actually looking at the same three tables, but have only heard the Volvere so far. which I thought sounded great: fantastic soundstaging and accurate bass. Not a romantic sound, but I wouldn't call it overly strident either. It has a nice susp... | |
| Bat VK-250 or Parasound JC-1 monos? Thanks for the reply south_park. I did love the Bat with the aesthetix, but I have to admit I'm curious to hear the JC-1s. Oh well....keep the advice coming! | |
| Goldman Audio....Audio Done Right You know, normally I think these kinds of posts are thinly-veiled shills, but in this case I wholeheartedly agree. | |
| What's your chair ? Hey guys,So what's the brand for the zero gravity chairs and where might one find more info online. I'm not sure it would replace my eames as a design statement, but I'm all for better spinal alignment (and Spinal Tap). | |
| Why so many "newer" Mac's for sale? I'm noticing a trend here. A brief scan of the classifieds on Agon has turned up that owners of many brands are selling their gear due to some, if not all of the following reasons:1) An upgrade is on the way2) A baby is on the way3) A pissed off w... | |
| What's your chair ? I agree about the Eames chair. That's one tweak that will never leave! | |
| The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo In the past I've used my powerbook hooked up to my system with a USB audio out with favorable results. I was able to use my cell/pda (Sony Ericsson p910i) as a bluetooth remote using the shareware program Salling Clicker, which allowed me to fully... | |
| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 I'll chime in here since I'm both a Totem owner, and listen to similar tunes.I think the Hawks will ultimately work better in your room and with your gear. It's not that the Vandys aren't great speakers, because they are, but I find the Hawks part... | |
| Which integrated, or keep what I have? I'm not exactly familiar with your exact setup (although I've heard ARC and McCormack gear), but I can say I'm not exactly a fan of the sound of PS Audio's new GainCell stuff. I didn't love the A5 in the setup I heard it in (and not compared to ot... | |
| Where to position speakers in new apartment I agree with your philosphy on the listening room, Kal; however, the only other rooms available for HT are my bedroom and bathroom, and I don't like the idea of having a TV in the bedroom (I'm not even going to begin to bring up my philosphy on th... | |
| Where to position speakers in new apartment Actually, KR, you're a genius, because there is a cut-out in the ceiling and the windows actually extend higher than the ceiling, so there should be room. Only problem is that given the ceiling height, the screen will have to be pretty high up, an... | |
| Where to position speakers in new apartment Thanks a lot for the response Kal. That's the setup I'm thinking of going with, the only drawback being that I can't then use my speakers in an HT setup should I decide to incorprate one, because the space between the windows is too small for a re... |
