| Miles Davis Newbe Question I was a late bloomer with Miles Davis (jazz in general), and, a friend , Mo, a Miles fanatic, turned me on to him, and Jazz . Mo had every recording by Miles, on either LP or CD, so I thought. I discovered a recording by Miles which Mo did not eve... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Spark energy drink... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? HiFisoundguy, We are all happy you love your Bose 901's. Many years ago I owned Original 901s and later some Series 3. They were hung from the ceiling, along an excellent wall, and I used many different sets of electronics available at that time, ... | |
| Klipsch Heritage Series Donjr On another thread of yours you indicated you had a problem with the front left corner of your room. Klipsch, as most speakers, do not fair best in corners, IME (K horns excluded). I will say, properly set up, a pair of Klipsch heritage speak... | |
| Klipsch Heritage Series I own a Pair of Lascalas, which I have heavily modified to eliminate cabinet and horn resonances and vibrations. I have also built risers for them, which gets them to a better listening height and adds about 50 pounds of mass to each structure. I ... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Please no ridicule(but if you must,go ahead). Although I am not a fan, I believe Amar Bose is one.....Yes I said it.... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? Also wanted to mention I will play some music for 5/10 minutes to "open the system up" before I seriously sit and listen. | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? Both of my preamps (2 rooms) are designed with on/off switches, which control power to other devices plugged into them(I do not do this). The active circuitry was designed to always be on. I also leave my power amps on all the time, as well as my ... | |
| JBL 250ti I sold these many years ago while working at an audio retailer. At that time I thought they were a very good speaker, especially for a JBL. Listening to them needed to be done at a distance, as they were not near field. They also benefited from a ... | |
| small amp I memory serves me an Adcom GFA535 series 1 or 2 should work. Also a Rotel RB850, which should also match your gear. Both good sounding units at the power/price points. | |
| Mcintosh MC 2002 or mc 7200 I owned a 2002, as well as other Macs, many years ago, and liked the 2002. It is designed without the Autoformers, which in my opinion, is a better sounding design(please Mc owners do not attack me). I am not familiar with the 7200, other than to ... | |
| Hi, need help with Snell Type a iii I would try them closer against the wall, see what happens. Woofers need break in because of the new surrounds. Last, maybe a higher current amp (passive bi amp). | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade If you hear a difference, fine (I always do). If you do not, that's fine too. However, there are many skeptics in these forums who I feel have never tried these changes, so their opinions should not be voiced. This audio game is all about "listeni... | |
| What is the best power cable under $200.00 retail? I recently purchased DIY Supra 2.5 and the matching USA male plug and hot wired it to a Soundcraftsmen power amp used in one of my systems. Quieter noise floor, greater speed, more dynamics and greater musical flow over all. This amp did not have ... | |
| interconnect burn in via tuner? Break in is real. Why ? Not important. My Morrow Audio MA3s took a long time to break in, but way before the "60" day trial period. In fact, in my experiences, to my ears, everything has had a break in period (when new) and have benefited from it.... |
