| How do I smooth out violins? I think you're going to have to play around with substitutions a bit. Do you have any friends with gear, who would be willing to bring it over? I'd focus on the preamp and source (CDP). What about your room. Is it overly "live"? I'm assuming that ... | |
| Ripping problem It's my understanding that WAV files do not contain any tagging. The tagging is in your program library, that keeps track of the WAV file and associates information related to the files. That is why I use AIFF rather than WAV. As Mapman mentioned,... | |
| Regional Climate Effect On Speakers Make sure to factor in climate change to your next purchase!!! | |
| Regional Climate Effect On Speakers If you live at high elevations, this can be a problem for electrostatics. Very dry air is also more susceptible to static electricity. I'm not sure if that can affect electrostats... | |
| Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift I ran La Scalas with 300b SET amps with great effect. Very lush, beautiful midrange while still being very dynamic. I was using Quicksilver 300B's, but I can't suggest to you which amp to use. For a tighter presentation all around, I would suggest... | |
| Amplifier for Quads Agree with Csontos. Anyhow, any restored Quad should have a clamping circuit, which will protect your speakers. | |
| Amplifier for Quads Hi Rmarcus - I've been going low budget with my ESL57's. I have a Bedini, and like it alot, but I like even more the VTL Tiny Triode. Other ones I considered were a Musical Reference EL84 amp (I like EL84's), Rogue (I forget the model). I also tri... | |
| Amp, On A Budget? Aragon 2002. Great sounding inexpensive amp. | |
| Office partitions as sound panels Elizabeth - I don't think that is true, because:1) You can go to the manufacturer's page and view tables of the amount of absorption per frequency over a range of frequencies2) The limitations of absorption pattern will not be any different for co... | |
| Please recommend an amp for an ancient system? How about buying a used Marantz receiver in good condition and having it restored for 2-3 hundred dollars. For $100, the Pure I-20 is a good way to get music off of an ipod touch or iphone (though you'd need an adaptor for the iphone5. | |
| Top or best amps for merlin vsm Clio09 makes a good point. I believe the power supply regulation in the M-60's is higher quality than the M-30. So if you have the space for the amps, you could cut back on tubes and heat and get the benefits of the monoblocks. | |
| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's Gamut is worth considering. As for weight, I have 200 lb Classe Omegas, and have learned how to move them around the room just fine. There are ways of doing this - just like the Egyptians built the pyramids. If you have to get them up/down some st... | |
| Kudos to Peter Ledermann at Soundsmith Peter was amazing fixing my Airtight PC-1 for minimal $$ - very honest about doing just what needs to be done - not gouging customers. Very impressed! | |

| HDtracks American Beauty Swanny - I know what you're talking about. I think some of the things that I'm hearing that I never heard before may be increased emphasis on existing vocals. Sometimes it even seems like its an alternative vocal track altogether - but it's probab... |
