| First round of auditions disappointing well. I hate to say it but Aball is right. (:-))About all you can tell when you hear a dealer's set up of a set of speakers of good general reputation that sounds poor is that the dealer hasn't spent much time on set up. Good quality and well set ... | |
| Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character Asa, FWIW, if you are considering buying th Primaluna amps consider how well they will interface with your pre-amp. | |
| How to Preserve New Shiny Banana Speaker Ends? FWIW. Its my understanding that the only real benefit from using gold (plated) anything is to allow more efficient conductance of current AND to make this effective both surfaces should be gold. So if your speaker connectors are not gold plated it... | |
| A series of underperforming setups...Solution? "I have no options for speaker placement."Then suck it up and learn to enjoy 'music' with your room/system limitations. If your bass is too boomy or uneven get smaller stand mount speakers. Don't waste any more money on big audiophile equipment ba... | |
| Some great sounding classical "warhorses" ?? Chabrier - Ansermet on London (Also on a Merc Living Presence by Paray if you like Merc's).Carmen Suite #1 Beecham on EMI. And for something different and something I greatly prefer is the Shchedrin rescoring of the work for strings and 47 precuss... | |

| 6ohm speakers to 4/8/16 ohm amp? Depends on the actual minimum impedence, not the nominal impedence, and the impedence curve. That said, you should listen to the speakers connected to the 4 ohm taps and the 8 ohm taps and pick the ones that sound best to you. Typically the 4 ohm ... | |
| Massive entertainment center replacement ideas? Nothing wrong with Gladys, you just have to make 'her' accoustically disappear. I also have a smaller cabinet between my speakers. Granted my sspeakers are a lot further apart and further out into the room. If you keep the cabinet doors open when ... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Nsgarch, FWIW we are in total agreement. Beyond a certain level of reproduction I for one, and I'm confident there are many others, just don't want to be obsessing about audio minutia...I want to be really listening to and hearing the music. Its f... | |
| DK Design VS-1 Reference MK3 Noise Issue You've mentioned that this sound appears when there is no music on. I assume that you mean playing. Try disconnecting all of the inputs to the DK - this will eliminate the possibility that the problem is originating in a source. FWIW. | |
| subs near window? Here's a thought. From what little I know about how deep bass sound waves propogate I think if you are going to damage your windows (and that is certainly possible) you are as likely to do it regardless of where you place the subs. Also, consider ... | |
| Preamplifier: Yes or NO ? "I have no ego"ROTFLMAO. If you have no 'ego' why do you argue or justify you posts when folks either denegrate you or your opinions. In truth I sense a huge ego lurking in at least your sub-conscious. I find it facinating and yet cannot understan... | |
| Remote volume control for preamp? Yes. There are remote control attenuators available at various price levels. HOWEVER, if you decide to go that route, consider that you will now have two attenuators in line and that is not going to necessarily result in better sound, to the contr... | |
| Preamplifier: Yes or NO ? FWIW. Bought a Wadia 302 and connected it to my preamps(s) as per the conventional wisdom and the reviews recommendations as well. Yawn!Connected direct to 4 different amps, 3 tubed, one SS = 1 ok, 2 duds, and one with outstanding results and I no... | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? Wall mount recommendations are right on.FWIW foot fall induced vibrations are vertical and NO isolation system is going to eliminate them completely, not spring systems, nor isolation devices of any type. Believe it or not unsuspended tables acual... |
