| LAST record preservative improves the sound Just dove into a bottle of Last Record Preservative and...I'm convinced. I do have some questions that I've not seen definitively answered...I think I'll reach out to Walter and if I get a response, I'll post it here. | |
| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? Kenjit,Thanks for posting a link to the BBB complaint. I needed a good laugh today. My favorite part of the complaint is:Recently I opened the speaker up to see if I could in any way fix it to make it sound better. But despite this I have been una... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I think what's most interesting about the low end is the articulation. I have a home made test disk that goes from 10 Hz to 300 Hz in 1 Hz steps. From the mid-20's up, the change in frequency is EASILY discernible. They don't produce chest thumpin... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I don't think it's fair to simply call the Quatro CT just a speaker (and to compare it to other speakers). It's part of a system with many components that aren't required / included with other speakers.Yes, it's a 3-way speaker. However, it also i... | |
| Single vs Double Bi-wire....should I reconsider? Well...If you look at the cable geometry, the Rocket 44 is pretty similar to a double bi-wire type 4. The Rocket 44 is basically 2 parallel star-quad runs in a single sheath. This is why the Rocket 44 cable is a good single bi-wire candidate. Howe... | |
| Has anyone heard the Vandersteen Quattro wood CT I have a set on order...I'll let you know in a few weeks. | |
| Cary 805 vs v12 Before my Ayre system, I had the SixPacs driven by a AES AE-3 DJH pre-amp (loved that pre-amp). Speakers were B&W N805 / REL Strata III. Turntable was a Teres monkeywood belt-driven 255 / OL Silver / Shelter 501. Phono stage was a Wright WPP-2... | |
| Cary 805 vs v12 You may want to chat with a few people that know this line well, like a John Rutan @ Audio Connection or Kevin Deal @ Upscale Audio. A half-dozen EL34s aren't going to sound like a single 211, but perhaps a bit of tube rolling may give you more of... | |
| Cary 805 vs v12 I don't think you'll gain anything by moving to a (stereo) V12...and you'll probably be taking a step backwards. I owned the SixPacs and loved them (but sold them because I couldn't take the heat they produced, and my neuroses over tubes got in th... | |
| Upgraded Ayre CX-7e to a CX-7e mp: Expect What? It becomes more better.Honestly it's tough to say what you'll hear. My CX-7e MP is feeding an Ayre AX-7e using balanced Purist Museaus interconnects. I heard more space between the notes. It was a worthwhile upgrade. | |
| Purpose of Dome on Tweeter... Duke,Would there be an advantage to domed woofers? | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Well, I guess classical is only well-reproduced on dynamic cone speakers, because I've never heard metal well-reproduced on anything other than that. It's gonna break the hearts of Quad and Maggie owners that their speakers aren't that good. | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? "... if a speaker is really good at classical music, it will be good with metal too."I kinda disagree. IMHO classical is very a forgiving music genre (from a tonal perspective). I've heard classical well-reproduced on Quads and Maggies and Martin ... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? I'd stay away from horn, electrostats and planners.IMHO, metal needs critically-damped, very articulate dynamic (cone) speakers driven by solid-state that can really control the speakers. You can lessen the requirements of the amp if you high-pass... | |
