| Audio Asylum access? Not now. Just checked. | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? LOL, I can identify! I got my Bolero's about 8 years ago and finally stopped thinking changes in my electronic's etc, would bring my other (older) speakers back to life and have stopped trying. Not even close. :-) | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? They are a bit pricey and rarely do they come out on the used market, but if you can afford them Silverline 17's are superb. | |
| Speakers that can reveal orchestral instruments' positions Many speakers can do this quite well IF it is in the recording in the first place (and it usually ain't) and IF your speakers are properly set up (often not).There is a consequence, however, in focusing on getting an exacting stereo image. It take... | |
| 3 budget speaker cable choices I used the Canare 4s11 for a number of years, replacing some Cardas. I was satisfied, sorta. New speakers arrived and shortly thereafter so did the 'need' to explore cables. Thought I'd try the Belden (10ga) sold by BJC. I was impressed - the soun... | |
| It looks like a debate to me. Fuzztone, FWIW I believe that some folks in this forum have found an output to express themselves and fulfill their pent up need for recognition (from strangers no less). They post frequently, speak authoritatively, and often at great length, on m... | |
| It looks like a debate to me. You are probably not alone, but your posts begs the question, if you find commentary here of little value (to you of course) why do you waste your time here. Just to validate your opinion perhaps? Personally I'd rather read a good book or listen t... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Wait 'til she starts rearranging you! Personally I'd pass on this lady :-). Been there, done that (but only once). | |
| Please suggest a few really good classical recordings Lets be honest here, recorded classical orchestral music will never approach, or equal live performances. Ever! For me they are a learning opportunity both the music itself and performance standards and variations. Given that proviso, I totally e... | |
| Balance knob .. LOL jkf011, obviously we erred! I just looked at the wrong picture of the PV pre-amp. Go figure, I said I was lazy. :-) So then the answer to your question (for me anyway) is get off your butt and walk to your pre-amp, use the balance control to c... | |
| Balance knob .. For me the loss mostly affects 'depth of image' on recordings which have that information embedded, not so much an actual shift in left/right imaging and loss of focus/clarity. For me the tough part in the analysis is determining when the recordin... | |
| Balance knob .. milostyn, Actually I agree with your analysis. If I had a balance control on a remote I'd use it to correct recording imbalances. But for system set up I used the XLO disc which has an 'out of phase' section so my system is fairly well dialed in... | |
| Balance knob .. Short answer - shift your chair to the right a few inches and see if the image (mono source preferably) shifts to center. IMHO better than using a balance control. I had this problem off and on for some time and solved it when I finally set up the... | |
| Static from tubes Sure sounds like noisy tubes to me. Was this 'static' present when you used the Tong sols? Do you still have them. If yes and yes simply changes back to the tong sols. If they are quiet then you know that your problem is related to the tubes you a... | |
| PRE IN and REC OUT on the Cayin A-100T Integrated Amplifier This amp does not have a 'tape loop' as such. The input 'pre in' accepts sources which have their own volume control, such as a CDP with a volume control or a seperate pre-amp. This way you only have one volume control between the source and the a... |
