| Best cover songs? Is this...1) a list of cover songs,2) a list of great songs that happened to be covered, or3) a list of songs that were recorded by someone other than the original artist *and* the cover of the song is better than the original artists performance ... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 The Foo Fighters' "Wasting Light" is a must-have rock album (especially on vinyl - 2 LP 45 RPM set + free digital download). Let me emphasize - this is a ROCK album. While My Morning Jacket's "Circuital" *is* outstanding, and Wilco's latest is gro... | |
| tube integrated for Vandersteen 2's I believe the 2ce Sig IIs will integrate at a 7' to 8' listening distance. Sufficient absorption behind the listening position will (effectively) increase the size of the room, and will allow you to sit closer to the wall (assuming you've also man... | |
| tube integrated for Vandersteen 2's I know I'm taking this conversation even more off-track...While I agree that, in general and without knowing more about your system, room and preferences the Vandersteens are too much speaker for your room (I went with Green Mountain Audio speaker... | |

| Different subwoofer at each corner? Angelgz2, What speakers are you using? And specifically which Dynaudio subs? How do you have your subs connected to the system (line-level from your pre-amp, speaker level, etc?). And finally, how do you have your speakers connect to your system (... | |
| Different subwoofer at each corner? Actually, using 2 different subs (designs, brands, etc.) can be advantageous, as they'll each load the room differently. I agree that 100 Hz is probably a higher crossover than desirable. I always start at 0.7 x -3 dB point of the speakers. That m... | |
| Pioneer SX-1050: worth repairing? If it's in great shape physically / cosmetically, I'd have it completely restored. I have a SX-1250 that's been completely restored, and I think it's an awesome piece of hardware. | |
| Teres Tonearm Help Around $1k, an OL Silver is a safe bet (particularly if you're a set-it-and-forget-it person and not obsessed with real-time VTA / Azumuth adjustment). I've owned the mk II and mk III, but I'm not familiar with the Silver MK3a tonearm that's curre... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A Yup. Availability of parts change. Cost structure of parts affect design trade-offs to maintain price points. Product feedback drives tweaks. Many companies do it. Few speak of it. | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? I'm sorry, but IMHO, crossing-over at or above the -3 dB bass response of your primary speaker - particularly monitor speakers - is a recipe for frustration. Ever wonder why some say subs are difficult to integrate into a 2-channel system? One of ... | |
| MiniMonitor 33lbs w/realistic vocals,not bright. I was going to recommend the GMA Rio as well. I'm sitting here tweaking my GMA Callistos (their predecessor) in my new listening space as I type. | |
| Cat-proofing your speakers... Are the protective grills on the Gallo Nucleus Reference 3.5 Loudspeaker wire? If so, those may be an option. | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Here's some other thoughts...REM - "Murmur". Technically, the Chronic Town EP came before, but since the thread title is for "albums", I figure this one qualifies.Nine Inch Nails - "Pretty Hate Machine". Damn, this is still one fine release. It wa... | |
| $2000 Budget for a speaker + integrated amplifier Have you thought about going "vintage"? There's a Marantz 2285b for sale here on the 'gon. Perhaps a Pioneer SX-1250? |
