| Magical, Musical, Mini Monitors There was this guy a while back that used milberts with the drivers from a pair of silver signatures. They mounted the drivers in custom pods located in each corner of the dash. The pods raised out of the dash whenever the head unit was turned on,... | |
| Help on integrated amp? Of the ones you mentioned, Classe is the best, especially for Thiels. For a thousand dollars, I really don't think you could de better. Have fun | |
| Please Help: High-End car audio If you haven't already the best thing you can do is have your door panels treated and maybe and floor if you're willing. The spray on stuff is more effective than Dynamat for door panels, but Dynamat will work well for the floor. Treating the car ... | |
| Shipping amps upside down? I wouldn't worry about it. | |
| Best Carpet Padding I'd let your wife have the thick padding. It can be your way of saying, "i love you" :) Besides, there's a larger chance that the thick pad will result in better sound. | |
| Order of importance I have found that no component is 'more important' than the others. Great amplification with poor speakers sounds at least as bad as poor amplification with great speakers. I do agree that running a lesser cdp will sound relatively poor with Thiel... | |
| Merlin vsm m and bryston Ask Bobby, info@merlinmusic.com, phone 716-367-2390. He's really helpful and cool. I don't own Merlins, but i know that the SE series, at least, was built for tube amps. Viel Gluck! | |
| Suggestions for filling speakers stands? I know there is someone who sells silicone in audio form, but i have forgotten who they are. The only other place i can think of is a pool table/bar-games store. Some of these stores sell those long wooden tables where you try to slide a puck in t... | |
| Suggestions for filling speakers stands? Silicone (but not sand) is better than steel shot and steel shot is better than lead shot as far as passing mechanical energy. Brass is the most capable, but where ya' gonna find brass balls? Oh, i know :) I can't say which would be best for you r... | |
| audiophile quality multi -disc CDP s? I have never heard it, but the Anthem CDP comes to mind. It has a single drawer, so you can only load one cd at a time which is a bit of a pain. I think it retails for around $1600. | |
| What causes listener fatique? cure? Room treatment is another possible cure. | |
| Deleterious effects of bridging ?? In your first option, if you are wanting the integrated amp to run one speaker, and the amp the other, I think your system is gonna be out of whack. The amp's speaker will get more power than the C370's. You're gonna get better sound with the para... | |
| Tax time $150 towards a new stand, whoohoo! | |
| If you knew then, what you know now... Go to many stores, audition lots of stuff. The first time i bought speakers, I only went to one store. I didn't have the speakers for very long. Ignore Stereophile's classification system. As a reference, it does not apply well to real stereo-asse... | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack 'Requiem for a Dream' is a really good recent one. Angelo Badalamenti's 'Twin Peaks' and 'Lost Highway' are great. Trent Reznor produced sndtrks and, 'Trainspotting', and 'Doom Generation', also excellent. 'Showgirls' has some good cuts. |
