| Susan Tedeschi I really liked "Just Won't Burn" and "Wait for Me". But, I really disliked "Hope and Desire" recorded with husband Derek Trucks. I don't know if it was Trucks' influence or something else, but I just couldn't listen to it. I didn't buy the latest ... | |
| The Best CD player under $1000. I can't say it's "the best" and I do undserstand some folk's aversion to modified players, but I can tell you that my Oppo 970H modified by Ric Shultz at EVS (www.tweakaudio.com) is exceptional and it was way under $1000. Heck, last one I saw for ... | |
| Expanding a 2-channel system to surround Ahochan,I really like the Onkyo receivers. Yes, any of the current models will be 7 channel. Some will have bi-amp option that will allow you to bi-amp a pair of L/R front speakers if the speakers have bi-wire/bi-amp inputs.Check the various recei... | |
| connecting up the pieces. Steve,I'm not very familiar with the components you mention, but I'll take a stab at it. If my comments are obviously incorrect based on the actual inputs/outputs of your components, please disregard......OK, I think the Startlets require bi-ampin... | |
| Expanding a 2-channel system to surround As Theo and Loomis said, look at receivers. Personally I like the Onkyos. Use the processor functions of the receiver and use 3 channels of amplification from the receiver. I set up a similar setup of several different occasions with good results.... | |
| centering the human voice Hummm, maybe we should start at the beginning. Are your speakers wired correctly in-phase? Be sure BOTH speakers are wired + to + and - to - or red to red, black to black. If they are out of phase you will never get a consistent center image.If th... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Andres,I think it would be great to have a gathering at your store. I've never been there and it doesn't seem to be very well known by the audiophiles I know in Cincinnati. However, I have heard GREAT things about your store. From what I've heard ... | |
| CDP with Optical in ? The Quad 99 CDP or CDP-2 have multiple digital inputs, including optical and coax. They are considerably less than $2k-$3k, but they are pretty good sounding CD players IMHO.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Buzzing when VCR connected to TV If you only get the buzz when the coax is connected into any component in the chain, try disconnecting the coax completely from the system. If the buzz goes away, you pretty much know it is a ground loop problem caused by the incoming coax. At tha... | |
| "Internet Radio" Suggestions Please? I like Radio Paradise and WXPN. Pandora is really cool too.Enjoy,TIC | |
| AK Fest 2009, Analog? Dre,AK Fest can be a great time. Last year there were several fellow Cincinnatians in attendance. Unfortunately this year I can't make it. You might want to post in the Cincinnati club forum to see if anyone you know is planning to attend this yea... | |
| Which Speakers to use with a Shanling - MC-30 I think a pair of Reference 3A MM DeCapos would be a good choice. I had a pair in a slightly smaller room and they were very good on 3.5 watts/channel. The Coincident UHS series may work well too. It's really going to depend on the listening volum... | |
| What is your routine for break-in of cd player My last couple of CD players arrived just before the start of week long vacations. I put them in the system, put a high energy disk on repeat, and let the system run for 7-10 days unti I returned.My most recent player was a highly modified Oppo 98... | |
| NAD Processor Break in period Sorry, I can't offer any more advice. If it is significantly different than it was before the repair, and you have verified that it is not a configuration issue, it seems like you may have a defect. If the repair was performed by a professional, I... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers Mt10425,I heard a similar story from another traveling A-goN'r concerning Hanson Audio in Dayton, OH. Interestingly enough, I'm only an hour away from Dayton and I had never heard of Hanson.I think we need to invite Kevin and company to join our C... |
