| The importance of proper set-up Well, I'm not one of those mavens you are looking for but you sound lonely so what the hell. IMHO, fluid damping, just as putting a brush on the front of the stylus, should help out in smoothing warps, etc, in less than perfect records. You will p... | |
| Bill Evans Village Vanguard 3CD set All the time. That is one of the downsides of many jazz recordings made (mostly) in the late 50's and (occasionally) very early 60's. The art of proper recording was developing in that era. FWIW I recently bought some newish Van Gelder productions... | |
| Are you at this point?? I feel that way every morning. By late in the afternoon I start thinking something can be improved. If I can just learn to pend my tendency to look for improvements 'til the next morning, or stop listening late in the afternoon, I'd probably be in... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Well, IMHO, you need a 'musical' midrange in any system just to get your interest. Beyond that equal demands on other frequency ranges might well depend on the type of music you enjoy most. If you like voices dir-range is everything. Those little ... | |
| 6922 Tubes for Raysonic CD128 I liked Amperex Bugle Boys (made in Holland)in my 128. Warm natural bass with good extended highs. I've been intending to run some Seimans 7308's but I haven't yet. I would expect from this combo dynamics and bass with mid-range and high end clari... | |
| Audiogon speaker wire gurus, please help me OK, an unbiased opinion from someone who doesn't sell anything.IMHO IC's and speaker wire should be neutral and allow the electronic's signal to pass undistorted. A question for you to answer to yourself. How do you 'know' the cables in your syste... | |
| Linbrook Sig Owners - In Room Bass Extension? In my 19 x 13.5 x 9 ft room with the speakers and listenening positions into the room about 66" (triangulated) and referenced to flat (0db) at 1K and 200hz, mine are flat at 32hz, down about 6db at 25, and 10db at 20hz. Sound pretty good too! :-) | |
| Symphony 5th - best recording Ojgalli, And if he only partially disagrees he might find Harnoncourt's set to be a refreshing alternative to either VK or Bernstein. But, if he wants period instruments and performance I think you're right on. FWIW, for those looking for a comple... | |
| Best audio cabinet for people with pets Bob, If you're going to buy scratching posts get the ones that have siesel(Sp?)rope wrapped around the post. 2 1/2 to 3 ft tall. If you have one that is just carpet covered pick up some rope at Home Depot and wrap it. If you haven't already done s... | |
| Best audio cabinet for people with pets If you have house cats and no dogs, trim the nails on the cats front feet. If you don't know how ask your vet. Its quick and easy. Done every couple of weeks will minimize not only the scratching activity but the damage sharp nails can inflict.Don... | |
| Symphony 5th - best recording Now that we know for sure, I'm going to second Rustons recommendation. FWIW the performance is so outstanding that if you like this symphony you won't care about whether its the best 'audio' version. It is propulsive, grabs your in those first not... | |
| Symphony 5th - best recording Ruston, LOL! Beethoven, no less! I want to clone that program and the kid as well. Imagine a program using music of that calibre for 3 year olds AND having a kid that hears it, can ID it, and ask for a CD of it! I approve!!!!!! :-) | |
| linbrook signature owners You might check the archives and the posted systems of other members who have Tylers and find someone who has the speakers you mention and I assume are familar with. These have been discussed thoroughly and often.If I knew what etc included, and I... | |
| Tube-rolling...PrimaLuna ProLogue Three If you could fantasize an improvement what would you want to change by getting a different tube? If you don't have an answer, save yourself the time and money you will chase after new tube recommendations. All tubes will effect to some degree or a... | |
| Side or back wall more important for speakers? Try pulling your speakers out into the room as much as your bass frequencies allow (front wall reinforcement plays a big part of selecting this distance) and the place your speakers up to with in 18 inches of the wall with them toes in so that the... |
