| Tired wiating - good Bryston/what else to get? Bryston's rolling their line again (ST to SST), you should see churn in the used market. I've noticed more well-priced 4B-ST's than usual in the last 2 months. | |
| Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes. I used a spade bit to cut a depression into the middle of a hockey puck, and dropped the cone-point's floor disc into that, so that it was flush with the top of the puck. That gives you a little more lift, and makes the floor disc a larger target,... | |
| Klipsch speakers What matters most is how they rate to you. Klipsch is the type of speaker that polarizes opinion - there are some that love them, some that hate them. There are lots of reasons for both opinions.Myself? I love them. I have La Scalas up front, and ... | |
| SS amps that sound like tubes? Mandatory Pass Aleph series mention. Agree with the CJ nod as well. | |
| Is this amp good for my setup? > I like the Vandersteens 2's very much. The B&K ST-140 > will work well with them. Richard Vandersteen told me > this himself. That said I think you can do better.True, but not for two and a half clams. | |
| Build me a killer Rock/Metal Rig for 1K I agree with Aroc on the KT88 tubes for metal - I have the Rogue Audio M120 monoblocks, $1500-$1800/pair - out of the price range of course, but where I finally settled. An amp that hasn't been mentioned yet, and should be worth a look is the Conr... | |
| Power Conditioners: Myth, Magic, or Necessary The Tice 3C power conditioner is transformerless. It's their latest design, and according to their hoo-ha, is a great improvement over the earlier ones. I haven't owned the earlier ones to compare. All that I can say is, the proof is in the sound,... | |
| WHat about four speakers....... I'm not sure this thread is exactly about quad... but that was certainly an attempt at this.In my personal experience, I listen to (what I would like to call, if such a thing can exist) "4-channel stereo" much of the time. The only company I'm awa... | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? Sean... I'm surprised to hear you were/are a Klipsch guy. It seems like a shrinking crowd - is it another case of classic product lines being obscured my mediocre newer stuff? Does it matter that a speaker design is forty years old? Is there reall... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Albert,If you're willing to take on such an endeavor, I could use 4 duplex (2 plugs per) receptacles (and a bigger feed from the road - 60 amps... oh, the humanity!)Just a reality check for all of us dreaming cryo'ed AC dreams - this will take tim... | |
| Looking for the best audio porn All the Russ Meyers film soundtracks are out now on digipak with some very interesting coverwork and booklets... | |
| Best Power Conditioner? Tice Powerblock 3C-HP | |
| Olias of Sunhillo I have the CD and the LP. I haven't A+B'd them, but the LP is stunning. The gatefold artwork is beautiful as well. I would scan Ebay for either format. I second the cdnow recommendation, as I *do* remember that's where I obtained my copy a year or... | |
| Woofer pumping - what gives? Seandtaylor99 is dead correct. I have seen this on the lead-in track of some LPs - no audible sound, but the woofers were doing the "wubba wubba" inaudibly and grotesquely - like a fat man bellydancing!One thing I _have_ noticed, is that once you ... | |
| What was your biggest priority? For me, it was a tie, all at around $1500 apiece:Speakers (Klipsch La Scala professionals)Front Amps (KT88 monoblocks - Rogue M120)Power Conditioner (Tice 3C-HP)I focused on the power plant... I'm mainly into hard rock, heavy metal, space rock (Ha... |
