| Purchasing I've bought some kit from Canada some years ago and I had to send it back for a little mod work. I was told to simply declare it as a repair and it sailed right through.No problems whatsoever.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Room Size - Front Port vs Rear Port Speakers A properly designed port flange won't 'chuff' like a poorly designed one, making the argument of close to the wall rear ported monitors moot. You will get the bass reinforcement you need.I'm breaking in a pair of Clearwave Duet 6 monitors and, at ... | |
| Speaker Stands Question Too bad Osiris no longer makes speaker stands. That, and any shipping of a good used pair would be cost prohibitive. Right now I'm looking into stands for my Clearwave Duet 6s and I think I'm going to settle on a pair of 24" parawood bar stools wh... | |
| Infrasound??? Every time I see (hear) some fool in his car with the windows up and the bass booming with a infant or kid in a carseat, I wish child services was there to take the kids away. Infrasonic can be (?) fun at auto shows and demos for the dim witted ou... | |
| McIntosh & the Bachelor Pad Mad Dog 20/20?I blew chuncks as a lad with that stuff. | |
| Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear Whenever I buy cables, they're always of the same length, be it ICs (one meter) or SCs (8'). Regardless of components, it was a toss up between silver and copper until I got the Darwin Silver ICs and Tempo Electric SCs. Going back and forth with m... | |
| Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor?? Sunnyjim and Hifisoundguy:I hope this covers both your queries and not highjack the thread but I'm presently breaking in some Clearwave Duet 6 monitors (in Indian Rosewood) and like what I'm hearing.I've only had them for two days now and am told ... | |
| McIntosh & the Bachelor Pad Hef is right: it's all about appearances. If one gets too esoteric about stereo, her eyes will glaze over and that 2012 Olivi Coreno will take her down a different path, usually the one to your door.And most important: if you gaze long enough into... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? I'm taken but not surprised to read all the negatives about single driver speakers. Yes, they have their limitations but some are executed quite nicely. I had some Hornshoppe Horns that were very satisfying for a couple of years but I decided it w... | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? So far, I've yet to experience a better sound from a theater than from my own set up, and it's not really a HT setup. Granted, the sound from a theater has more boom and is room filling, but when a get a blu-ray copy and play it at home, I hear so... | |
| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? This is not from your preferences but being in the U.K., have you tried to listen to the Boenicke 5se? I haven't, but am planning on moving to a monitor speaker that doesn't need a sub and from what I've read, these Boenickes are floating a lot of... | |
| Arkana Physical & 1056;& 1077;& 1089;& 1077;& 1072;& 1088;& 1095; what is this? From what I gather, the two reviewers at 6moons feel they're better than some mid-fi cables but not the end all to be all. Neither one replaced what they presently use. As for rare earth, they were an okay band.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? Charles1dad said it best. Granted, all things are system dependent but having tried both copper and silver, I'm staying with silver.All the best,Nonoise | |
| New Music Direct Catalog Jokes aside, it's nice to see someone do things the old school way and I wouldn't be surprised to find out that someone like folk here who've been around for a while heads this part of their operations. One can think of this as a kind of reward an... | |
