| Projector VS some other type of HDTV Hi Chadnliz, I do generally agree with your comments about CRT, but just a few points to add - the Marquee CRT projectors are still being made by a company in Florida (http://vdcds.com/products/crt/8110-8500-9500.html - they make them for the mili... | |
| Projector VS some other type of HDTV Sedona, it may be too ambitious, but another option is a CRT projector. They are VERY cheap now, and will likely provide a better image than any other option. I use a Marquee 8500 and (you can now get a nice one for $2k on videogon) and it far exc... | |
| Best high end monitors? MBL 121s would be another contender - I'm biased, as I own them. They may be overpriced though. I'm also going to be adding a pair of F113s over time, as funds allow. I'm hopeful of getting the same seamless room integration. As someone else said,... | |
| What should be under my speakers? I second the Sistrums - amazing. I lent a pair of 004 Sistrum stands to an audiophile friend and he ordered a pair the same day after hearing them on his speakers. They transformed my old pair of Audio Physic Virgo II speakers. The effect is not s... | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around Spectron Musician III SE mkii with Bybee filter. The Bybee adds the magic - holographic and with a natural warmth that makes me not miss my KR tube amps. | |
| Best matching phono stage with Zyx Universe cartr. I'm using a Supratek Syrah with my my Universe. I had assumed the Syrah was a weak link and I bought a Musical Fidelity KW phono for about a month and did some a/b comparisons. I found the Syrah more engaging and 'alive' although they were general... | |
| Favorite Speakers at RMAF Emaillists, to answer your question regarding the Lansche - that was my favorite room at the RMAF '08. The round was mesmerizing. It's hard to tell what components were working the charm - the amp/rep was WAVAC, which was likely contributing. Anyw... | |

| Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical? Thanks guys for all the responses - a lot to think about. I have a key, related question. My MBL monitors have a low pass filter that cuts the bass off at 49hz - that's the lower limit of the bass. Were I to introduce two subs to the mix, where wo... | |
| Long USB Cable OK? Thanks for the response guys. I'll play around with some variations. One upgrade I could pursue over time would be to get a new PC that's quiet, or maybe I can put some noise reduction felt or other absorbant material around my current PC and then... | |
| Teres Composite Platter, etc. I met Chris B at RMAF, where he was demoing the 260 table with the composite platter. It sounded great, although hard to isolate it from the rest of the audio chain. If I understood correctly though, he did tell me that he was not making any more ... | |
| 2 JL Audio F112s or 2 Velodyne DD... wihthMBL 121? Thanks guys. It sounds like either option will work for me. I may go for the 12" subs rather than bigger as I'm guessing they would be less likely to overpower a room (expecially if I do move to a smaller place which is a liklihood). I've also rea... | |
| Omni directional speakers German Physicks, if you can find them. | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? Audio Physic Virgo II. It's the one characterisitc that is always cited with regard to these speakers. You need to be right in the sweet spot, but once you are, "hey, where are the spearkers?".. | |
| RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,... This was my first RMAF and I enjoyed it a lot. I got to about 80% of the rooms. My favorites included:Lansche Speakers with Wavac pre and power amps and phono state. This was a captivating sound I could comfortably live with. It was simply dreamy,... |
