| 5 disc CD/SACD Seanacape: I picked up the Marantz VC-6001 and am completely satisfied. | |
| Best sounding Beethoven symphony LPs Sonically the Vanska series with the Minnesota SO are impressive - some better than others - just issued the last two - they are not in a box set but come 2 sym. per package - in SACD. For the best performances in a box set go with Karajan's first... | |
| Room EQ Shadorne: Are you using the E-mu 0404 USB recording interface or the E-mu 0404 USB Audio/MIDI inerfact. I believe they both have microphone amps, but different output capabilities. | |
| New to Classical Music - Album to try first?? A few suggestions: First choice: Mendelssohn - Bruch Violin concertos - Kyun Wha Chung on Decca Legends. Sonically nice: Vanska's Eroica (Beethoven's 3rd) with the Minnesota S.O.; Handel's Messiah by Dunedin Consort and Players (on Linn). Biondi a... | |
| Excellent Outdoor FM Antennas Look into a tower; you will get better results by getting the antenna up in the air. Take it from an old ham. | |
| Room EQ Kal and Eldartford : thanks; I was looking at the Behringer. I am not necessarily addressing a particular problem, Rather, my interests are in objectively evaluating the response of my system and correcting, if indicated, any deficiencies. What I ... | |
| are all amps equal Keslerd - good choice - 352 or 402 should do it. | |
| are all amps equal Well, there is Mcintosh and then there is everything else (this comment is both true and designed to for effect). What constitutes a better value is purely a matter of opinion. Mcintosh amps are expensive - you probably don't get a doubling in per... | |

| Time Warner Cable Converter box HDMI is not the most stable standard. Look at the problems people post with Samsung and Motorola DVR's. Seems to be kind of a crap shoot. If you go with component (which theoretically should give be able to handle the 1080i signal) you may want to... | |
| Is anyone using sand boxes under their speakers ? I once had bookshelves sitting on plastic crates crammed full of journal articles - was strapped for space at the time, hence the dual function, storage and speaker stands. Sounded great. | |
| Uneven speaker cable lengths and cable termination Ahochan: As far as the length discrepency - won't matter. The difference in electrical properties of the two different lengths is not significant. Sure there will be some difference in all three electrical values because they each depend on the le... | |
| B&W 803d, Martin Logan Spire, Klipsch P-37F? Macallan7 - Well it kind of depends on what you consider superior. The descriptions above are pretty accurate as to what B&W speakers sound like. I maintain that your choice of music has a lot to do with what sound you will like. I know there ... | |
| What could I expect to hear from a Class A amp? Shadorne: Correct as to the unamplified nature of crossover distortion. It is only the ouput, or final, stage at which the bias point is placed near cutoff and saturation, respectively rather than centered - in a class B amp. How hard that stage i... |
