| Compared: Rotel RX-1050 and RI-1070 The Sony SS-7m likes power, but in my application I'm rarely listening over 80dB which minimizes the problem. The TAS review also mentions that the receiver doesn't sound as loud as a 100w should. They tried the receiver with Vandersteen and Magne... | |
| Parametric / graphic equalizer recommendations I strongly agree with the above comments about seeking medical help.If all anyone wants to do is in/decrease high frequencies then a low pass filter is more effective than a parametric EQ circuit. Go to the following website and look at the parame... | |
| Compared: Rotel RX-1050 and RI-1070 I'm using Sony SS-7m speakers and the room is 10x18. I'm not surprised that the integrated amp performs better, at a 50% premium it really should. I learned this tip from the TAS review - replace the preamp/amp jumper with decent interconnects. It... | |
| Parametric / graphic equalizer recommendations I need more info to really answer your question. First, what is your system? Second, what do you mean by bright? Are you talking about an emphasis in the 5-8khz range, or do you mean excessive high frequency (>10khz) content? As a rule it's alw... | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas Based upon the supplied info it's clear that the distributor is not the smoothest of businessmen. If grey market goods are such a problem, then he should have very clearly and at the beginning of the mod inquiry stated his restrictive policy. That... | |
| Compared: Rotel RX-1050 and RI-1070 I've had the RX1050 in my bedroom system for about 6 months. I agree that it is a little light in the bass, but otherwise I'm very pleased with its performance, especially the tuner (FM and AM) which is quite good. TAS recently ran a very positive... | |

| Review: Sony SS-M7aes Speaker I use a pair of the Sony 7s in my bedroom system (2 channel, both music and movies). I picked them up 5 years ago for $700 at one of the Sony outlet stores and I consider them one of my most astute purchases. As Nrchy points out, they don't do dee... | |
| Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist Kinsekd, my tongue was firmly in cheek and that's a fact! Waltersalas, I have multiple copies of every Steely Dan album because I've worn them out from so much listening. I also have 3 copies of Mitchell's "Blue" for the same reason.Also, when sta... | |
| Home Theater Power Amplifier Help Wheaton-IL, the above response are correct, but they are coming from a perfectionist orientation. Are you trying to put together a perfectionist system? If not, and I suspect you're not, your probably just want good quality performance at a fair p... | |
| Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist The following statements are received wisdon and not open to dispute:Steely Dan - all hi quality, but Countdown, Royal Scam & Gaucho a step above the rest. They're also non-consecutive so they don't rate an entry in this post. BTW, the best ov... | |
| The Recording Producer It depends on the type of music and its targeted market. Major label pop/rock releases are strongly influenced by marketing and demographic considerations. If the artist is a "boy band" and the target audience is young teen girls, then the assumpt... | |

| Buried treasures you've forgotten? My main digital source is a software driven hard disk music jukebox. Since switching to this format I find that I'm listening much further into my collection than ever before. I usually set the software to random play and I let the computer pull o... |
