| Any Audio Grade Extension Cords??? Thanks everyone. I appreciate your time and advice. | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Maxgain, that's great! Grandpoobah, lest we forget, thanks much for starting this thread. | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Thank you Albert. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving ... remember to kick that fine system of yours up a notch to counteract the post-turkey drowsiness ;-) | |
| Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers? Seantaylor, LOL ;-) | |
| Is this DAC based on mktg or concrete stuff? Job Ad, I'm curious which fine remark of six's you based that on?6chac, just hanging in right now. Always good to read your posts. | |
| Is this DAC based on mktg or concrete stuff? Job The ad makes me want to run away from it -- e.g., "removes all jitter". Overpromises. The whole thing just doesn't feel right ... and I've been in marketing for 20 years. Bear in mind that I've never heard it and have done no research on it beyond... | |
| Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers? I agree with Subaruguru -- throw some blankets and draperies around the room and see if it helps. If it does, go for some room treatments. Best spots (without knowing the specifics) -- behind the speakers (especially the corners), in front of the ... | |
| Any small monitors that dont sound thin and bright For something reasonably affordable but never a slouch, the Paradigm Reference line is neither bright nor thin. As an aside, if you are seeking a rich sound, I would recommend staying away from the JMLabs monitors -- they are nice speakers (and we... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? One of my favorites, but not slow enough to qualify as the all time great, is "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. My overall vote would go to many of the Sarah McLachlan songs -- "I Love You" and "Adia" are standouts from her Surfacing album (btw, th... | |
| those F'n price stickers on jewel cases... Sek, I agree, but what do you use to get the glue off of CD cases? ;-) | |
| An odd idea I agree with Sugarbrie. Use a 5 channel amp for the surround (center, rear, rear, side, side) and a 2 channel for the stereo. I may be too clumsy or risk averse, but I'll bet that, sooner or later, an accident will happen and both amps will be on ... | |
| those F'n price stickers on jewel cases... Redkiwi, I'll bet you could find a Bestine-like product at your local art supplier. Bestine is sold in virtually all art supply stores so I imagine you can find something comparable. BTW, if you can't find anything like it, you might want to becom... | |
| upgrade for p-1a/p-3a/monolitic Welcome Georgeo. I would definately upgrade the CD player. I'm also looking (down the road) for that type of upgrade for my p1a/p3a combo. Try these Audiogon threads out for size -- they give some nice perspectives on "best" cd player or transport... | |
| Why Aren't All Cables Pre-Burned In? Bomarc, you may be right ;-) But my key concern was being able to compare multiple cables correctly before the trial period expires. Right now, what I'm hearing is that, with a few exceptions, the only way to do that is through dealers and to be s... | |
| Will a sub improve the sound of my main SPKR'S ? Depending on how the sub is tuned with the mains and the quality of it, a sub could improve things. It may improve them even more if you bypass the very low frequencies so they no longer hit your mains. A good sub has that capability built in (you... |
