| Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls? I have tried to replace my Spicas for many years but I haven't found a speaker that gives me a bit more sparkle on the top end and dynamics. The Spica TC60's are great and I'm using 2 subwoofers with them. I'm getting a very good balance but I wan... | |
| Maggies My other reccomendation would be Bryston. Some of the best sounding solid state I've ever heard. No solid state nasties on the mid or top end. | |
| Maggies I'd look at a Moscode 600 or the latest 400 series Moscode amp. These work wonderfully with Maggies with little fuss and you still get the benefit of tube sound. | |
| Why not horns? Macro, I understand what you are asking but you could open up a can of worms with some of the teckies on the site. When You listen to music essentially you are listening to distortion. I have a friend that simply talks about specs and #'s. Since t... | |
| pre amp tubes and gain A simple answer is to test your tubes to see what condition they are in. Modern tubes seem not to last as long as some NOS. Depending on the circuit NOS may be a better alternative. I had an brand new 12AX7 tube simply go bad in less than 3 months... | |
| moscode 600 " the newest mods" I have heard several of his mods. And the are better. More detail, quieter, stiffer power supply. You may want to consider buying one of his newer models. You can trade it in or sell it. I owned a 600 with all wonder caps and I loved it. I liked i... | |
| Record Club vs. Store purchased records I was a member of those clubs during the 70's and 80's. I received the same quality vinyl the stores carried with the same packaging. I found the Columbia club pressings and the Book of the Month Club pressings to be better than some of the other ... | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound With all that said, and I didn't read all the threads, but the audio mags are in the same category. I have tried some of the mega dollar gear or auditioned it and I came away un-impressed with some of this gear. Some of it did sound as claimed. Bu... | |
| Subwoofers - Grille off or on? Personally, my Dali Suite 1.2 subs sound best with the grills on. Go figure! My Spicas sound best with the grill on too! | |
| noise from light dimmers and ceiling fan speed con Had the same problem. I changed the switch to a non rheostat and still had problems with anything plugged into that wall. All my other walls sounded good but not that wall. I found out later there were other sockets on the same circuit. Get a dedi... | |
| Small Speakers for Small Room, Close to Back Wall? If you want to get away from boxes try the Magnepan system that attaches to the wall or a large bookshelf or cabinet. Visit Magnepans site and look at it. The price is righteous but you will need a subwoofer. A center channel is available too if y... | |
| Netbook or Laptop, which window version is better? If you go with a netbook you may be limited in hard drive space and you will have to purchase an external hard drive.Actually, you should do that anyway. You need to check to see if the version of XP is a full version instead of scaled down versio... | |
| Rotel 1052 and magnepan MMG Just contact Rotel and ask them. The rule of thumb is if it doesn't say 4 ohms it will have difficulties driving a true 4 ohm source. This being their top of the line model at one point it is possible that it will. Or just send them an email. | |
| Is analog supposed to be so noisy? Did you check the cartridge connections to make sure they are secure and correctly installed? Then check the ground on your tonearm cable to make sure the ground is not broken.To me it sounds like something in the arm is causing the problem. A bro... |
