| Midwest club, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa Hey Tony, I share your location of residence. I was just thinking i'm pretty content with my system and I would love to listen to some one else's just to stir the pot again. A though just popped into my head.(rare but it does happen) ..did you liv... | |
| Revel F-30 vs. Dunlavy Cantata vs. b w CDM 9NT Audio Vidio Logic is advertising black or natural oak Dunlavy Athenas on this site for sub $5k (close to what i paid for my rosewood athenas used) with the cantanas cheaper yet. At one point they had 6 mo no interest financing, may still have it. ... | |
| Tubes: unmatched Quads or Pairs I had a couple of tubes in my VTL 185s get fried from a near lightning strike. the folks from VTL sent me two new tubes, one for each amp, with no concern for matching. Stuffed them in, did a re-bias and they sound great, bias has remained stable ... | |
| I've discovered an alternate way . I've jammed with a lot of the greatest bands in the world over the last almost 30 years doing just that. Great way to learn and keep up the chops. There ain't nothing like playing with a real band though. have fun | |
| Warning: Linn tonearm anti-skate not accurate I have on older Linn Basik ark and it has the same problem. must be a linn thing | |
| Speaker positioning? Audiotomb has it right on suggesting the 2 inch change then do a sound check process. When the speakers were along the long wall you probably were at a reinforcining node (the bass is a wave function that adds at subtracts). Putting the speakers i... | |
| B&W vs Thiel vs Dunlavy 6K LIST I haven't listened to hte Thiel but to me there was no comarison between the B&W 801n and the athenas. the highs on the athenas were much smoother and the mids more open. The athenas sounded mushc more realistic. Maybe the set-up sucked for th... | |
| Advice on how to get FedEx to pay up on damage I have a question a bit tangential to the original. As a reciever of the goods how can you get to deal with the shipping company directly? I've had several things damaged that were fully paid for and in all cases the claim money went to the shippe... | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks I'm one of those cheap flexi guys though i'd probably have used Ken's ideas as they look better and they would be definitely easier to work than a 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" mdf. To help isolate the rods from the tables i used washers made from Dyno-Mat ... | |
| Aletha or Cantata I second Kirk on audio-vidio logic. I bought athenas before the catana existed so i didn't get a chance to compare them. i listened to a lot of speakers and NONE were close to the athenas in openness, soundstage, smoothness of highs and realism fo... | |
| Mixing Silver and Copper cables -- Good or bad?? using harmonic technology cables i found the best sound with thr copper Truth Link from the CDP and the hybrid coper/silver Pro silway II between the amp and preamp. With the silver from the CDP it was a bit glaring. All coppeer is good too but th... | |
| Depth of sound stage--I need help I've been thinking bout this soundstage thing for a while now and depending on what is being listened to the depth part of it can be one big illusion. As indicated above the illusion can be helped by speaker placement but i think that walk around ... | |
| An open letter to Terrorists right on Jeff, well put. That being said, once the anger is contained and some time is taken to think, we must realize that we don't understand our middle east and far east advesaries either. The terrorists are just an unrational responce to the f... | |
| Why Can We plug our AMPS directly into wall w/o Worrying? Scratch out the without worrying part. I suffered from a near lightning strike this spring that fried some tubes and the B-fuses in each of my amp while everything on the Chang escaped unscathed. When my system was set up differently i had the amp... | |
| Revel F-30 vs. Dunlavy Cantata vs. b w CDM 9NT I haven't compared the Catata to the Dunlavy Athena, which share the same drivers and driver arrangement (cross over?) in different cabinets but there is no comparison between the athena an the F-30. The dunlavy have the best soundstage and sence ... |
