| The best speaker you ever heard? I have heard both the large Nola Grand system (an earlier version than the current one) and a few of the smaller models in the line, including the Baby Grands (I own the Micro Grands). I like them all, but prefer the Baby Grands to the big system,... | |
| Philly FM Radio and FM Tuner Redux You might want to consider a Magnum Dynalab model as well, there are a good number of them available and they are excellent tuners. And if you don't have your computer nearby your rig, you could also consider getting one of their internet tuners, ... | |
| Fake RRP on cables. A Joke RRP=Regular retail price? | |
| Well Tempered See my post above, it has the Well-Tempered website address, where you can contact them directly. | |
| Well Tempered According to the Well Tempered website (www.welltemperedlab.net), the Australian distributor for Well-Tempered is Dynavector Systems, 29 O'Connors Road, Beacon Hill NSW 2100, www.jdaudioonline.com.aa, info@jdaudioonline.com.au. If they can't help,... | |
| Well Tempered Stereophile, when they had the WTT recommended, noted that it had extremely limited ability to take other arms (not impossible, but very difficult). I'd suggest you get another Well-Tempered arm, the turntable was designed with that arm in mind. O... | |
| What's wrong with my almost new speakers? It is a vague question. Answering vaguely, sometimes we are attracted to a piece of equipment because it does one thing so well that it immediately grabs our attention. Over time, we discover that the one strength masks shortcomings that, in the l... | |
| Speaker repairer - NY area I second MillerSound, worth the trip. | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? A lot of good points made by Frogman, Al and Lowrider (and I love Frogman's lighter note link). One thing that was asked earlier but hasn't been addressed by the OP, I think, is has he used this recording as a reference before he got the Martin Lo... | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? What kind of tubes are in the MC275, and how old are they? I found that 6550 type tubes were not that great at reproducing snare drum when I used them in my Jadis amps, though perhaps not to the extent you're describing. I would not suspect the sp... | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? I agree with Onhwy61. I also let my movers move my (extremely well-packed in original packing) equipment, save for my turntable/arm/cartridge, which I brought myself principally because I had a new cartridge installed after the movers had taken ev... | |
| ARC Preamp going to full volume I would call ARC. They have excellent customer service, and this is something that might require fairly specialized parts. | |
| Help with new speakers In looking at the equipment you list, my personal feeling is that you'd be better off upgrading the preamp and amplifier before you give up on the speakers. Rotel is good stuff but not as nuanced as higher end equipment, and the speakers you have ... | |
| Coincident vs Lamm I have not heard the Frank, but have heard the ML2.2s and owned a pair of ML 1.1s for quite a few years. They are superb amplifiers with the right speakers, but I would heed Gr-gin's warning. My ML 1.1s had some problems, and having a dealer to ge... | |
| Which the right speaker for Classe CP700 + CA2200? Classe is often paired at dealers with B&W with very good results. In the B&W line, depending on your room size, I have always felt the 805s to be their best value; I have heard the combination and was very impressed. What's the size of yo... |
