| semi-budget sys - under 1450 Thanks, Grandpad...made my day. | |
| 15k blues Bill E. - do you regularly go through escrow of something? I would be pretty edgy sending a $15k M.O. :) | |
| semi-budget sys - under 1450 My approach is different from your approach, but i have decided to add anyways under "what would you do?". I would not get the NAD if i did not like it. I would get the Arcam if I did. Monitors just do not need that much power, especially when qua... | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks I had mine shipped to me, from Houston to Dallas. I am pretty sure I ordered it online, but can not remember for sure. I know I got all the info off their website, though. | |

| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? I for one would like to see more widespread use and innovations in cabinet design. A large portion of the sonic capabilities of my Hales is credited to the very thick front baffle (their older models used several inches of concrete). Vandersteen a... | |
| Best all-around cartridge for 500.00 new I can make no comparisons, but be aware of the Dynavector DV-20x (the high output model (2.5mv) will more likely be hum free.) They are $525 in the states; I bought mine from originlive in England for ~$370, total. Going to past the US importer, h... | |
| My brother the doctor needs speakers I would go with the 300 series B&Ws too or any speaker fairly forgiving of electronics. Am I correct in guessing that he is a fairly casual listener, HT type of guy? Paradigm Reference might also do well with off-axis and HT use. | |
| Brightness Differences Between Daytime and Evening While I believe AC to be the main culpret, I am guessing RFI or EMF? augmented/generated by the sun also contribute. I obviously do not know the precise terminology or happenings. My theory comes from the fact that there is more hum from my TT/pre... | |
| Do you use spikes for tile/marbel floor? I am confident in believing that you should get some intermediate device. You would be a little hard pressed to find a speaker that would sound as good riding bareback on any type of floor. I have used audiopoint spikes and disks on hardwood floor... | |
| CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed? Why are you getting so defensive and sensitive, Kevziek? Can't you take criticism of the internal validity of your findings? They are far from empirical. The fact is auditioning is more of a bottom-up process than most care to admit, and you certa... | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. I just recently heard Trent Reznor's remix of Curve's 'Missing Link'. I am guessing some phase alterations were implemented because it sounds like there is a third and fourth speaker 15' to either side of you. The sound is not encompassing per se;... | |
| Level Restrictions? I too am in college, but I live in a blue-collar apt. complex. I go to class in the morning and am mostly restricted to loud levels in the afternoon before the neighbors get home. I know what cars my neighbors drive, so I just have to peak out my ... | |
| Pros and Cons of Platter Mass Looks like my physics class paid off. I thought there might be more implications of platter mass than I initially theorized with before starting this thread, although Frogman's (great moniker) comment on aliveness and resonance was new to me. And ... | |
| Nottingham Tonearm and cartridges Sounds more like a question for Tom Fletcher. The number is 44 1773 762947. |
