| How can a subwoofer expand the soundstage? Rockyboy I experienced the same phenomenon you describe when I switched my Theta Casablanca to run a sub in 2 channel Stereo mode with my Usher Be 718s. Prior to that I was only running the sub for 5.1 home theater. Considering the fact that I a... | |
| MDF Rack dampening question Instead of messing around with your rack to dampen vibration, you instead might want to try using the Herbies Audio Lab Component Top Weights to lessen the vibration. I put two of his Super Sonic Srabilizer(s) on top of my pre-pro. Without them, w... | |
| recommend me good power cable , thanks Your comment about your comparison of a high end Nordost PC to your Black Sand Violet Z1 PC is exactly why I've stuck with Black Sand PC's while the rest of my system has evolved. I've gone from just OK IC's and SC's to better, and now I've got Ku... | |
| Stands for small floorstanders? I'll second Roxy54's suggestion that you try the outriggers from oregondv.com. The staff is very helpful and the outriggers work very well. I had Acoustic Zens on carpet, and the outriggers made them rock solid. I had the same concern as you with ... | |
| Jennifer Warnes 20th Ann Famous Blue Raincoat RI I love everything about Jennifer Warnes' music. Already having one, I purchased the re-issue of FBR just for the added songs. I pulled out "The Well" this afternoon and while doing my UltraBit routine I noticed the CD had a few minor scratches. No... | |
| Used speakers: Cleaning tips? Lots of woodworkers use automotive products like those made by Meguiar's to finish fine furniture. The Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Swirl Removers both clean and polish, and for lack of a better term, come in different grit grades. They're easy to work ... | |

| Pre/Pro with Take a look at the Theta Casablanca. The 2 channel stereo is better than anything I've ever had... and the programing on the Casablanca allows to do most anything you can imagine. | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Let's play two... Beth Rowley's CD "Little Dancer" is an absolute keeper. Her rendition of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" will knock you out. Rachael Yamagata's CD "Elephants" is also really good. She does a duet with Ray Lamontagne that's very... | |
| Replaced Kimber Kable Hero ICs with Kubala-Sosna I have the Kubala-Sosna Fascination IC's and SC's, and just purchased Expression speaker cables. Instead of selling the Fascination's, I decided to bi-wire the Fasciniation's to the high's and the Expression's to the lows. As good as the Fasciniat... | |
| Help a Newbie. Considering Usher Be 718's Buy the Usher's. The fact that the Usher's are demos makes it just that much better because they're probably already broken in. At 30% off they're a steal. I own and love them. Everytime I change something, the Usher's respond like a champ. The be... | |
| Opinions on the Theta Compli as a CD player..... I've had a Compli now for over two years, and have absolutelly no desire to replace it. I run it through a Casablanca II with Extreme and Superior DAC's, but when run through the analog outs, the analog blows the DAC's away by far. IMHO, the Compl... | |
| Theta Casablanca preamp setup - HELP Webjazz... I'm no expert on this, but having set up both a Casanova and now the Casablanca, the fear that comes with pushing the buttons isn't as great as it was at first. If you get really stuck, E-mail me with your phone number and I'll do my be... | |
| Theta Casablanca preamp setup - HELP Webjazz... It's not as hard as it appears, but you do have to read the manual to get your arms around this monster. I printed a second manual and marked it with a highlighter and tabs when I found a section that I needed. I then went back and only... | |
| Low Height Speaker with no rear port....help? The dementions, and ceiling of your room are close to mine. I went from Acoustic Zen to Usher BE 718's primarily becasue of the WAF. Both the Usher's and Acoustic Zen's are front ported. I found both to tolerate various placement restrictions pret... |
