| help with speakers that rock, pleeze The Emerald Physic speakers might be worth checking out. Also VRMS (or VMRS, I forget) rock but are kind of fiddly in terms of set up. The EPs are easy to set up. I know Klipsch is a classic for rock. Finally, some BW models might do the trick. I ... | |
| vinyl cleaning with wood glue....works? How dirty are these records that one or all of the standard means don't work? I'm not a vinylista but it seems like a series of potential Faustian Bargains. | |
| Why did I get married? I did the headphone routes. I got a very nice paid and a vCan headphone amp. Know what? I think of the electric bill savings as I can run this without my amp (tubed) being on. You need your own enclosed room. | |
| What's the farthest you've traveled for live music Maine to London to see Van Morrison on St.Patricks Day. | |
| Triangle sound-signature category. Which brands? Just a note that from my experience (at least), they require lots and lots of break-in. My brand new Triangles sounded flat for the first 100 hrs or so and improved further for several months after that. | |
| deciding between shanling cd3000 and cambridge 840 The top of the line NAD is absolutely superb. I think you can find it easily for $599. Blows away any Cambridge product I've heard. The Shanling is a step up again. I've seen it for $995 and it's generally availabvle for $12-1300. | |
| Jolida Fx10 Has the highest WAF of any of my many components. | |
| changing from rotel and peach to plinius 8100? Switching from Rotel to anything is almost always an upgrade. Enjoy. | |
| Nordost Pulsar Point for a DAC? Let the group know if you can hear a difference. I could not hear any on a variety of stands on my amps or other items other than my CDP. | |
| Nordost Pulsar Point for a DAC? No. No moving parts. Even if it is theoretically possible that some minyte aspect of performance MIGHT be affected, this falls into the snake oil category as used with a Dac. | |
| Subwoofer reccomendations for B&W 805S? I heard the Paradigm Sub One. I was amazed at the clarity and slam. I liked it a heck of a lot better than the REL. I think it is more expensive however, but both are in the rarified air. | |
| Granite under wood for better isolation? Where do you live? Under the El? How much rumble can there be? | |
| Speakers that disappear A few years back, I had speakers that disappeared. I came home one night to find that the speakers, the amp, the pre-amp and the CD player all disappeared. | |
| Jolida Fx10 I have one. Amazing sound other than, say, below 60Hz where it kind of flattens out a bit, and it looks absolutely stunning. I would think a tube upgrade would take it up even another notch. | |
| Shanling CD 3000 or Cary?? I also bought the CD3000 from Underwood. He offers mini mod, Mod 1 and Mod 2 levels. I have the Mod 1 and it is remarkable Tremendous clarity and resolution and it is built like a tank. I also like the top loading aspect to this. |
