| sacd interconnects Stramons1:I'm in the same boat. I just got myself a great preowned Marantz SACD universal player and purchased my first 4 SACDs. I need to purchase 6 two foot long each interconnects myself probably tomorrow. I've been researching this on-line ton... | |
| 2nd powered subwoofer Well, after much researching/studying up, taking your advice, and stopping at a few hi-fi stores for their opinions, I made my purchase today of a 2nd powered sub from a highly reputable B&W/Rotel dealer. It matches my existing sub but is just... | |
| Reputable dealers? World Wide Stereo, Montgomeryville, PA and in Ardmore. No question. Top notch, highly professional. Gorgeous show rooms. Ask for Chris Clements at the Montgomeryville, PA store. Located on Rt. 309 south. Very easy to get to. | |
| CDP Recommendations under $700 Rotel RCD-1072 right at $699.00 list price. Fabulous machine. Sound if super. | |
| Subwoofer Frequency Response question Drewhl:Are you taking readings in hz on your meter? I have a Radio Shack digital SPL Meter (cat No. 33-2055) but it only reads out in dB's and not HZ. How do you know your sub is dropping out 20dB between 45 and 70 hz? I've been looking for a digi... | |
| SACD availability? Thanks everyone. I'll check out these sites as well as the one here on Gon. Yes Kojima, it seems the selection of both HDCD's and SACD's are increasing both on-line and at retail centers. At Barnes and Noble fore example, I have found quite a few ... | |
| SACD availability? Kal,That's what I thought. Too bad. Do you play SACDs and how many do you have? Where do you buy them? I found great collections at musicdirect.com, amazon, b&n, etc. | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s Goldenear:Thanks for the warning but that's OK. Arguments are welcomed. That's what the forum is about. Getting both points of view. I know many folks strongly prefer vinyl over digital. Another area where many an argument can be made. It's just a... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s I'm done buying any older recorded CDs (i.e. 60's, 70's, even 80's) unless they're in HDCD or SACD format or they've been digitally remastered to 24 bit. They just sound awful, little bass, terrible soundstage, etc. My personal goal is to now repl... | |
| "small profile" Center Channel I was using a B&W M-1 surround sound speaker as my first center channel due to space limitations. It can be turned sideways on its pedestal which should come to just about 7" in overall height. Souond was decent for dialog but it produces very... | |
| Should an audio system be left on at all times? Kijanki:You state that it takes an average of 30 mins to warm up an amp or A-V receiver before it will play at its best sound. Does that apply to solid state as well as tube equiment? I've noticed the sound is comprimised when I first turn on my r... | |
| Worth looking for a Rotel 1065 receiver? I own a Rotel RSX-1057 AVR and it's fabulous. You may have more success finding a preowned 1056 or 1057 than the 1065. Any reason it has to be the 1065? The RSX-1065 is probably the predecessor to the current RSX-1067 which is their top of the lin... | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass Twoleftears:Bass extension and response depends so much on the listening room size and what's in it. Thick carpeting makes a huge difference over even thinner commercial grade carpet. Drapes and upholstered furniture helps tremendously. A first fl... | |
| Challenging Speaker Situation Good question. First since this is a billiard room, you'll be moving around as opposed to sitting in one place called the "sweet spot". You'd be surprised how much the sound can change by simply moving away from the sweet spot. So in my opinion (i... | |
| Digital Remastering: Last 5 years..... My top priority now has become to purchase older recorded CD's first in HDCD then if that's not available, digitally remastered to 24 bit. I just today bought Grateful Dead's "Wake of the Flood" to replace my original CD which if any of you know a... |
