| Parametric / graphic equalizer recommendations How precious. Right down to the use of "loose." I see I apparently missed where you said room treatment didn't work, but no one responding above intended any offense. Sometimes we're distracted, or sleepy.Back to your questions. Either, or any, ki... | |
| Source vs Target: where is the weakness? Jond, you're onto something, but the room is the target. This source v. speakers argument has been done here a number of times. I'm on the speakers first side, with the understanding that it's both a quality (accuracy) and suitability (room) issue... | |
| Parametric / graphic equalizer recommendations Cdc, No answers yet to your specific question, but good responses nonetheless. I don't think you'll find anyone here who has actually used one of these equalizers, so, since they're so inexpensive, why not blaze a trail and let everyone know about... | |
| best speaker for real world music Interesting question. I like classicial music, I suppose, but I spend most of my time listening to music with a beat (plus a lot of softer vocals and bluegrass). I was listening to some Mississippi blues, Zydeco and reggae today on my Harbeth K6's... | |
| are there 2-ways that go down flat to around 40? Troublesome topic. The ProAc 2.0 and 2.5 seem to. The Totem Mani 2 also.But, so does the $300 AE Aegis One, and there's the problem. Most small speakers that give a robust response at 40 hz, or below, are not putting out a true 40 hz signal. The s... | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas Yeah, Mike, Tom (Twl) believes in tweaks and mods. I am the one who said, and believes, that mods are just a way to get more money out of consumers, unless there was something wrong with the design in the first place. But, let's not detract from t... | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas Just out of curiosity, if the unit was bought new in Europe and then moved here with the buyer's household, how do you get around the voltage issue? Do these things just have a little switch? If the manufacturer is supplying US spec components to ... | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas Ernie, it took me a couple of reads, but I think I got it. It seems like you asked the US or NA distributor to perform a service on a cdp that the original owner bought from a European dealer. The distributor is within his rights, even if it is a ... | |
| Hi end audio who cares I would never think of demonstrating my speakers or cdp or new phono cartidge or whatever. What I do is ask have they heard the latest (or some particular favorite piece) by one of their favorite performers, and then play it for them. I demo music... | |
| Which outputs when using Pre as phono front end? The tape outs will give a non-variable signal to your linestae, bypassing the preamp features (volume and tone control? circuits) of the preamp. If you use the pre-out as though connecting to an amp, you would have two stages of line amplification... | |
| How good are the Harbeth 40's? Well, the Harbeth website recommends 100-250 watt amps. They were designed as a "drop-in" replacement for a large BBC monitor, and as a professional monitor, probably unequaled. Very few people have them in their homes and it seems like 3 of them ... | |
| How do you clean the laser in a CD player? There are products in stores like Fry's with little brushes on the bottom of a cd. I am afraid to use them on my good cdps, but my transports come out in the drawers so the lasers are exposed, so I just spray them with canned air. The guys in the ... | |
| The Blues : A Primer This was posted last year by someone who attributed it to a circulating email from someone else. It doesnt seem as funny to me now as it did then. | |
| What do your kids see? My oldest used to put his casettes in the tape deck and turn on the amp and play them when he was 1 1/2. He hasn't seemed very interested since the age of 3, but he has some cds and his own little minisystem and headphones now as a teenager. My yo... | |
| A'gon Transactions, Risk of Loss? It has been said that the item belongs to the buyer (and hence, so does the rol) once it has been paid for and the seller under the agreement between buyer and seller is obligated to ship the item to the buyer. If so, the seller is the buyer's age... |
