| Best monitor for female vocals? I love my Dynaudio Special 25'sI listen to Patricia Barber, Diana Krall, Fiest, Miles Davis, Joe Pass, and to many blues players to list. The warmth, space and detail of this speaker continues to amaze me. I do reccommend you use an integrated wit... | |
| Long run speaker wires AudioQuest 30' has worked very well for me with custom color and termination only $150 or so. No I don't work for or represent the company, just a good value IMO, a buddy swears by Signal Cable. | |
| You too can own your own record/stereo shop I have funded my "stereo habit" by going to garage sales and estate sales buying vinyl and gear at great prices, then selling on ebay or AudioGon. Got to pick up some great music at great prices, I usually pay no more that $1 for an album and no m... | |
| How do I warm up my system? Drapes are best on a large picture window. Carpet is good, start by not having the audio rack in the middle of the speakers, have it between the first and second reflection points. Find these points after you try the 1/3rd or 1/5th room set up met... | |

| How should I build a system around my speakers? Nice gift, the L1290's are a fine speaker, in fact they were one of the first to use a "soft dome" tweeter, a very good thing IMO. If you are not in a hurry, go to garage and estate sales. I get all kinds of good stuff at these. I take home any wo... | |
| Marantz SA8260 I went down to my local dealer last Saturday to buy an 8260, they had a demo and they were selling it for $799, what a deal I thought to myself. I listened to Dylans Blood on the Tracks in red book and then on SACD. I could'nt tell the difference ... | |

| Huge sound stage The Sterophile Test CD is also a great source to test phase. You didn't mention if your room is treated or what size it is, you may be the one luck guy in a million who has an almost perfect room with out even knowing it. I have to believe that yo... | |
| All Rega system I loved my rega system, I had the original Ela (small) speakers for over 10 years and never got tired of them. They were especialy nice because I had small rooms to work with and they love to be up against the wall. I bought an original Planet and... | |
