| Is it worth spending $10k on CD-only player today? Not to me, but maybe you have more disposable income. I would not buy any CDP that did not also allow for SACD playback anymore.If audiophiles do not support higher resolution playback formats, they will not succeed. I got SACD as a whim and have ... | |
| Sound is too thin. What to upgrade, add or remove? Speaker placement is critical. It makes no sense to start replacing equipment until the speakers are in the right place. Cosmetically they may be well placed, but sonically they are in Audio Hell! Placement for my Kharma's was very important. I pl... | |
| Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker That would definately couple your amp to the floor, but at 180lbs (not gbp) that's a lot of work to drag around especially on the motorcycle! | |
| Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker What is that ugly stand under your Krell amp? | |
| Know of a book on audio basics? Those mentioned are very good, I would also suggest "Good Sound" by Laura Deerborn. Like Robert Harley's book it covers everything from the basics to good detail for someone with a good level of understanding from which to work. | |
| Monoblock Suggestion? There are many good monoblocks that could work, but what you like is a different issue.I would suggest several, not in a particular order: VTL 750; Wolcott 220; Krell FPB 450cmx. | |
| What's under your Classe Omega, or other big amp? That's a tough question. I had my cones, and those of squidboyw machined for me by an associate with access to a CNC lathe. I supplied the brass and he did the work. I used 2 1/2" brass for the latest set. Do you have access to anything like this,... | |
| Monoblock Suggestion? Maybe the wind will blow it in! | |
| What's under your Classe Omega, or other big amp? As with squidboyw I have tried stands and other devices, but under my 200lb Krell amp I use brass cones. I have been very happy with the results. | |
| what's your favorite album cover? The original cover of Pink Floyds Ummagumma with the Gigi LP. With all the new technology things like that are pretty easy, but for the time it was cool, and well executed.Rainbow 'Rising' is a cool picture too. The hand coming out of the water ho... | |
| Where do I go from here, keep it clean December 5th huh? I better come over before the game, you might not be as hospitable after the game: ).I should look into airfare. Some tickets are pretty cheap right now. Trelja, you make the trip sound real attractive. Maybe I'll just watch it a... | |
| Where do I go from here, keep it clean I appreciate the effort seen in many of these responses. A couple of good questions were asked, which should be answered. I am happy with the direction that I seem to be going. The summary of the sound sound that was mentioned earlier was accurate... | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? Pburke, I'm pretty sure Boss302 will be coming up from Madison for the get together. I don't want to offer rides for anyone, but it might be easier if the two of you can work something out.Anyone who wants to come for the October meeting is welcom... | |
| what's your favorite album cover? AshraThe Clash 'London Calling' was a total ripoff of the first Elvis LP. | |
| Broke and still not happy I'm not sure what psychicanimal was getting at since I'm not psychic, but a good system will not deliver good sound if it is fighting against the room. Your room is a more important componant than any other piece. I would suggest going to http://w... |
