| DJ Speakers for home use small room You could try the JBL S38's ... full range, near field speakers. They were favorably reviewed by Stereophile two years ago. You can find them discounted to $250 new (J&R Music) ... http://www.jandr.comhttp://www.stereophile.com/showarchives.cg... | |
| Adcom ACE 515 problem I actually had a similar problem with an Adcom GTP 500 II (after 13 years of use). The tuner/preamp would turn itself on (and with it the whole system) and could not be shut off. I would need to unplug the whole system overnight for the unit to re... | |
| jolida jd100 or music hall cd25 modified? I am using a stock Music Hall CD 25 with EPOS ELS3 and a vintage Marantz 2240 receiver as a bedroom system. I was always pleased with the Music Hall/vintage receiver combination ... but I am now looking to swap out the Marantz ... as the EPOS are ... | |
| Elvis and CCR My 5 favorite Elvis CD's that offer the best sound & performances are: 30 #1 Hits; From Elvis in Memphis; Tomorrow is a Long Time; 68 Comeback Special; Elvis 56. I thought that CCR had only one live album ... unless it's a Festival Recording. ... | |
| Dark and laid back vs bright and forward Onhwy61:Interesting ... I never looked at dark sounding as being the mirror opposite of bright sounding. What I was referring to as "dark" ... you might call "boomy" (the sound of old Bogen and Grundig tube amplifiers come to mind ... if that meta... | |
| Dark and laid back vs bright and forward I love these questions, as I get to see if I really speak the same language as everyone else. Well, here goes: I would use forward & bright to refer to an emphasis on the upper end/treble side of the spectrum. The resulting sound is still clea... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Rockinroni:My comments still stand. There was no forwarding reason to refer to those who prefer CD's as "losers" and "lazy clones.' And it is hardly about "fear of the light " ... I just decided differently and your response is name calling. Enjoy... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Rockinroni:Boy, you are some piece of work! So, your signoff is that people who prefer CD's are "losers" and "lazy clones." Why not just say ... 'our mothers are ugly' ... as well? Thanks for elevating the level of the discussion.Regards, Rich | |
| Names of Bands... If I remember correctly, Jethro Tull was the name of a 17th century British poet/politician. Don't know about the others. To add to your list ... Chubby Checkers was coined by Mrs. Dick Clark as a response to Fats Domino; Beatles comes from the wo... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Your dad is right ... scratches & audible pops were pretty much the way it was with LP's. The Stereo Magazines (Stereo Review; High Fidelity; etc.) used to advise you to make a tape copy of the LP and play that, because LP's were so easily scr... | |
| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? Puchased two LP's that day ... Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" and the Beatles "Hard Day's Night" ... which were both "E" level records at EJ Korvettes, which translated to $3.44 each on sale. | |
| What hurts a speaker? From your amp or receiver's perspectives ... mostly "dirty" power will damage speakers. Said differently, running your amp to the point where it begins to clip/break-up, will damage your speakers. | |
| Where do you draw the line??? Nate ... great idea for a thread.1. I will not accept that LP's are worth the bother. I spent too many years in the 70's & 80's making cassette tape copies of LP's, because LP's were so easily scratched up.2. I will not accept that there is no... | |
| New Epos els 3 mini monitor I have been using the new EPOS for about a month in my bedroom system. It is paired with a vintage Marantz 2240 receiver ; a Music Hall CD 25 CD player; AV Cable speaker cable and an Acoustic Research interconnect. I purchased the speakers mail or... | |
| I need to help elevating my speakers. Home Depot solution. I use glass blocks (8" x 8" x 4") ... though they come in other sizes. My speakers have a 14" x 12" footprint and so a base comprised of 6 glass blocks (2 columns of 3 each; each set of 3 column blocks are epoxied together; wi... |
