| Mini Maggie System hurts to listen to Absorption or diffusion behind the speakers. But most importantly, I'm wondering if you need more power? What were they demo'd on at the dealer. I heard their prototypes several years back demo'd with Bryston 28 amplifiers (very powerful). None of... | |
| S/N ratio vs. dishes and stupid cats. If that's the problem, then the decisions were not informed! Time to think about headphones ;-) | |
| media player for mac. Very interesting about Fidelia. I haven't heard of it before. Anybody else have experience with it relative to others?Thanks, Peter | |
| My audiophile take on the symphony last night. I live in Seattle and the acoustics at Benaroya Hall are excellent. With that said, I still have my preference regarding seating position. Even though the sound is pretty clear in all locations, if I'm too far back the orchestra sounds small and t... | |
| Why has audio become so specilized over the years? Love the RS catalogs. Fischer receivers with current values on the order of $4000. That is the most expensive I noticed in my short look, but it gives some perspective. | |
| Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system How about Ohm micro talls, or some other omni speakers? They don't give alot of top end, but they fill the room nicely. | |
| French Doors I've used double glazed glass windows and they do use thin glass. For a little more money, they will put thicker glass in the window. I would strongly recommend that. | |
| French Doors French doors look great, but there are downsides. They will transmit sound into the rest of the house through the glass resonating - is that OK? If not, you are better off with a solid core door that seals on all sides with insulation (they make a... | |
| Which speakers for McIntosh tube amp MA2275-Why? what is you room size? how would you feel about large corner horns? | |
| KEXP with Squeezebox Touch Let us know if you figure it out. Thanks | |
| Can I connect my iPhone to my Ayre integrated amp Check out the Pure Digital I-20. For $100 you can use almost any apple iphone or ipod and stream internet radio or play itunes. It takes the digital from the iphone and processes it through its own DAC, or will pass it along to the DAC of your cho... | |
| AMPS - the Ayre V5-xe and the Classe CA 2200 I used the Ayre to drive my 4-ohm Avalon Indras and it sounded very good. Lots of delicacy and inner detail, very good soundstaging. People including myself sometimes note that the Ayre can be a tad light in the bass region, but it's positive qual... | |
| Tube Pre to mate with Parasound JC-1s & Maggies? I think you need a very lively preamp to go with the JC-1's. My experience is that the Audible Illusions isn't all that lively. Rogure might do. An older CAT. How about an EAR? Not quite as lively, but very musical and far above the AI, you might ... | |
| Questions About CAT JC-2 Thanks Jafox,Yep, that was a typo. Meant to type JL-2.My understanding is that the original JL-2 began with 6 resistors, then up to 10, and like you say, there is now a newer resistor set which supposedly allow the amps to better handle a catastro... | |
| Tube amps known to have a low damping factor? CAT JL-2 has a DF of 10. Why do you want a low DF? I thought I high DF was desireable... |
