| Is polk Lsi15 too big for my 20x13x8 room? Odnok, Start a new thread - as it is only folks with experience with room set up are likely to note your present post and respond. | |
| Is polk Lsi15 too big for my 20x13x8 room? Odnok, The speakers are the key to low volume listening. The amp should not be very important EXCEPT as to the tone it imparts to the speaker at low levels. I'm not a fan of SS amps, and contrary to common belief they are not maintanence free. Big... | |
| Is polk Lsi15 too big for my 20x13x8 room? I can only suggest those things I have listened to at length in my own home - you can check my systems and associated threads for where I've been sonically speaking. So FWIW, I'm presently using Tyler Linbrook Signature 1 full range 1 piece floor ... | |
| Is polk Lsi15 too big for my 20x13x8 room? Your room is not too big for full range speakers played at reasonable levels. That is not to say that it can't potentially be over driven but that applies to most rooms. I have full range speakers in a similar sized room and have no problem whatso... | |
| Tube amp question Sure there are, long as you do not intend to play too loud and your speakers have a friendly impedence curve. Used of course. Assuming both of those are not problems you could probably get by with a 40 to 80 watt job and there are many such on the... | |
| best upgrades? Lots and lots of LP's. The hardware can wait. :-) But, if you must the cartride should come first, providing that it is suitable for your arm, and next come the phono preamp. Great cartridge into a poor phono stage = garbage, poor cartridge into a... | |
| Your favorite classical composers/works? Bartokfan, I realize that your statement is just a personal view, but since it may have the effect of devaluing music by composers you do not mention and thereby effect others when approaching modern music, I feel it is necessary to ask a question... | |
| What price do you put on your gear? I can imagine an experience such as you must have had. I'm also glad it passed without real damage. Been there, and many of us, if not most, will sooner or latter. Bottom line, for me at least, - while you must have passions in life to make it int... | |
| Tube Question--Slight Ringing coming from one side Is the Sonographe pre amp a tube unit? I thought that was a CJ solid state device? Learn something new every day. | |
| Questions about original Cal Alpha DAC I have and use both the Alpha and the Sigma II. With identical tubes in each they are sonically very close with the Alpha being slightly more 'detailed' and the Sigma being more rounded. The Delta is less sensitive to tube choices the Alpha much m... | |
| Does your system always sound good? FWIW, While I don't have one of those 'incredible rigs' you refer to, I find it more a mood/music thing than the changes in the actual sonics of the system (apart from listening during warm up or if you have bad incoming juice, during the middle o... | |
| Tube Question--Slight Ringing coming from one side I think Dc007 is correct, although I'm not sure I'd want to be tapping on a amp driver tube unless you are an experienced tapper. :-) What I would recommend is doing a normal process of elimination. Just switch the driver tubes from one mono to th... | |
| help with a lush 50 watt+ amp Sorry I couldn't help. What you are looking for is the antithesis of what high end audio is all about. You have such unique requirements. Good luck in your quest. | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? "the point of this thread is to observe the futility of configuring a stereo system and expecting it to sound like live music....." And you want to have philosophical discussions with anyone foolish enuf to believe that they will ever have a audio... | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 302 cd David, The great thing about the volume control is you get to try the alternatives for free and reach your own conclusion. My experience might just have been a result of poor system interface (I did try the various output levels trying to maintain... |
