| Room Acoustics Problem???? I forgot to mention another possibility. If volume is a problem, you can alter the balance by moving the right speaker forward a few inches, or the left backward a few inches, 'til you get a tightly focused center image. Also, be sure to use a mon... | |
| Room Acoustics Problem???? Have you tried toeing in your speakers substantially - this can reduce the 1st reflections enormously. If the high frequencies become too hot try crossing the axis in front of your listening position. | |
| uneven depth of soundstage Nke, FWIW, set up is everthing with Quads and its not simple. It might be more helpful if you were to post the dimensions of your room, the speaker and listen chair locations, and a discription of the walls and furniture on the side walls and the ... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IVa Set up help You might like top do some research on speaker set up using some of the 'systems' as described on the various sites, such as Rives site whcih has a CARA program, the Cardas System, the Audio Physic's method and the Dunlavy System. Look at the AA f... | |
| best indoor antenna for FM reception? Signal hiss is mainly due to a week signal. You need either a very sensitive tuner (if you don't already have one) and/or an outside antenna, or a amplifier such as is made by Magnum to get rid of the hiss.To reduce multipath you need a directiona... | |
| "will ship at buyer's risk and expense" What I always read into this remark is that if the component arrives and does not work (as it should) but, there is no evident box damage on which to base a claim against the shipper, the seller is going to claim that it worked fine when he shippe... | |
| Powered antenae better than passive? Not in my experience. If you are talking about indoor antennas, like a Terk for example, all you are doing is amplifying what is in the first place a poor signal. I've had better luck with a simple, unamplified, whip, or a wire (T shaped & pla... | |
| Full range bass powerful speakers $5000 Help I'm a bit puzzled by your comments on the bass. If you meant full range, i.e. into the 20's, and by weighty you do not me overemphasized or fat, The Tyler Signature System fits your price range and your comments about the mids and highs. It is a v... | |
| Jazz Gems Yep, I really enjoy Scott Hamilton - I just picked up Back to NY, nice laid back jazz with a little influence of swing. I would add to your list, Charlie Haden's Land of the Sun for some more laid back jazz based on Mexican romantic music. And in ... | |
| Our we Lazy? "Lazy audiophiles who rationalize our own position.....".Perhaps. But, I don't think its that simple. You talk of tubes vs SS based on sound quality as one camp. I think there is another camp which has greater influence on the choice of tubes or S... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Steve, I'm having the hardest time following your posts re the differences between an active pre-amp, a passive pre-amp and their inclusion into the same case as an amp.At the risk of over simplification, my view is that a passive "pre-amp" consis... | |
| FM Tuner Antenna - what works best? FM is a line of sight signal. If you've got tall hills you've go problems even if the transmission tower is nearby. Apart from that a good indoor antenna is made by Godar. They are passive and directional. Check them out on Google. | |
| Review: Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors Monitor Shaqspack, Could you clarify which model of Linbrook floorstander you are talking about? I have the Linbrook Signature system, one piece per side, but I think you may be talking about the rhw new Linbrook System two which has one tweeter, one midr... | |
| Jadis Orchestra Reference Not a problem. A lot of Eastern European tubes flash on turn on. I have some NOS EI's in an amp that flash. Interestingly there are four of them and they flash sequentially from the left as the current flows thru the curcuits starting at the switc... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Marco, Re your photography analogy, if I tell you I can take a fairly expressive photo in B&W using an "old" Minolta with a 50mm lense how many Nikons and Nikon lenses can I own before my facination about what I can do with them mechanically, ... |
