| Cables for the new pad All that for $400K? That money would get you bupkis in L.A. Congrats on the new spread.As for cables, you're going to get (eventually, hopefully) questions on component choices and whatnot to help narrow down your choices. My choice is good old Te... | |
| Smaller House/Equidistant Side Walls Impossible Your downsizing is still bigger than my present situation and I have Tonian floor standers with no problems I can detect due to listening in the near field. My room, aside from dimensions, is similar to yours. I think you'll end up about 9' or so ... | |
| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation I haven't heard these and am not aware of your budget but Srajan over at 6moons went ga-ga over these:http://6moons.com/audioreviews/boenicke5/1.html.They are small enough to look like desk top speakers but apparently can fill a medium sized room ... | |
| Or is it the wine? If only it had a permanent and lasting effect.:-) | |
| Terminological Exactitude.... It's true that we'll never agree on just what 'warm' or 'analytical' mean, in a descriptive sense, due to how we hear and interpret it ourselves. There's no consensus due to our individual take, our connotations, on what we ascribe to the term.It'... | |
| Or is it the wine? Wine always works for me when it come to forgetting the equipment and just enjoying the music. Though great with conversation, wine helps to turn off the OCD aspect of analysis and allows one to simply go with the flow.Now, for a splash more.All t... | |
| SGC Vortexbox Audiophile I think the Antipodes unit is a more advanced version with custom scripts written into it to further silence noise and interference, achieve a vastly lower level of jitter and it uses a power supply made expressly for the least possible noise.They... | |
| Absolute Mystery Once someone had established him/her self it its common to see the occasional divergence. A rapport of sorts is already happening between writer and reader with feedback in print. Is it really too far fetched to see someone share a part of themsel... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Yes, indeed it does. | |
| First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations I'm not as well versed as most here but I have a Burson integrated that's a Class A/B desing which operates in Class A (or so I was told) up to near it's maximum rating and there is something special about that Class A sound that is bequiling.Havi... | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? Also consider isolating the speakers. I had an annoying high end artifact that would surface every now and again and removing the flagstone under my spiked speakers eliminated it completely. Even with 2" maple butcher blocks atop the flagstone, th... | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" It sounds like at sometime, he missed or stepped off the path and now resents it since he can't or won't relate. It could be he's simply nostalgic for the good old days and considers himself a kind of oracle, admonishing those who foolishly buy in... | |
| IC vs Discrete I bought into the Burson explanation and found their integrated to sound wonderful. They make a very convincing argument for going the discrete route. My newer Marantz PM15S2b, which uses their own discrete op amps sounds just as good, if not bett... | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? There are those here who, it they knew your equipment, could better resolve your dilemma. That being said, room treatment, of some sort, usually does the trick.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Would You Rather ...... Aristotle said it best: "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts."The only way I'd like to listen to it being done live is with a small acoustic performance or in the front row for orchestra.All the best,Nonoise |
