| Ref. 3a , GMA & Tyler compare ? Bombaywalla, Sorry I caused you offense, however I thought your statement about the Linbrooks implied that you had heard them and that you found them soft and warm - then tried to create an anology to tube amps from the 70's and 80's. I find it ea... | |
| Ref. 3a , GMA & Tyler compare ? Saki, I'm posting only because of a couple of comments above might mislead you. FWIW as I have no experience with either the DeCapos or the Calisto's and my experience with the Tylers is the Linbrook Signature 1 piece floor stander's - My point of... | |
| concerned with using two sets of spades at amp Makes a difference, having 2 sets. What I would do (other than locking bananas) assuming your connectors are located in a way that you have the space to do so, is to connect the spades so that the wires are at a 45 degree angle to the base and the... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Hoopster, Not to worry, Shirly died very recently so Diane will have no reason to be jealous. Besides Horn was not just a tad on the ugly side. Interestingly Krall sort of syled herself after Horn who was one of her heros. Superficially Krall soun... | |
| concerned with using two sets of spades at amp Personally, unless you can solder the two spades together and get a solid fit, I'd avoid the risk and use one set of spades and one set of 'locking' bananas. I've had zero problem with locking bananas, fit wise or coming loose. I share your concer... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Hoopster, 3rd shot at the apple ......Ikarus' post reminded me - I not only totally agree with him, but I would add three other Charlie Haden recordings. Beyond the Missouri SkyLand of the Sunand a duet with Hank Jones 'Steal Away'.All great late-... | |
| Help with stripped screw head You can get a small screw extractor from Sears (for example) which you attach to your drill and it will allow you to just back the screw out. Its designed for stripped screw heads. | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Hoopster, I forgot to mention that if you can take a little jazz vocal with the music, an absolute must have, are the recordings of Shirly Horn most of which are live in concert. Try "I thought about you", live at Vine St. Warning, once you hear H... | |
| Is polk Lsi15 too big for my 20x13x8 room? Odnok, I assume you asking about the Tyler Linbrook Monitors.....Based on your comments regarding sound level you would listen at I would think a tube amp of 35 wts such as the Primaluna would work well. But it won't 'rock out'. A better person to... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio I assume you are familar with Evan's other recordings made at the Village Vanguard about the same time. If you like late night, laid back, jazz by a sax based trio it's hard to beat Houston Person's most recent recordings on Blue Note, a studio re... | |
| Speakers and stands: how to place? Unless you have really high end stuff and are trying to max out resolution, etc, just use blue-tac or that stuff Gunbei recommended. The blue-tac is probably going to give your speakers a much more secure attachment to the stands (as opposed to sp... | |
| 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... |
