| Ken Parker's latest archtop "Spot" Wow! It's a beauty. I'm completely unfamiliar with Ken Parker guitars. Would I have ever heard these on any previous recordings?Enjoy,TIC | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Hi Cinci-philes,I know Audiophiles in Cincinnati like to complain about the lack of hi-end dealers locally. Even if you take a drive to Columbus or Indianapolis you may not get a chance to see/hear much audiophile 2-channel equipment.Anyway, a cou... | |
| behringer reference? I was just listening to a system today that had those Behringer amps used in a multi-amp, actively crossed-over setup. The owner likes the amps and I admit they sound pretty good. However, he did tell me that he had to send the first four back bec... | |
| Speakers for a smaller room/moving issues... I've recently read some reviews of the Magnapan "wings" on-wall planars that were very favorable. Of course, they would require a small sub to work at all. I also saw a small pair of Maggies at the AKFest and they were pretty good. I don't know if... | |
| CDP Cary 308, Consonance 120 or Cambridge 740? I previously owned the Cary CD-308 and it was a good CD player. However, I wouldn't consider it particularly unforgiving. I consider it more neutral.A good friend owns the Consonance CD120 Linear (the non-oversampling version of the CD120) and he ... | |
| Is my amp clipping? Do you have any other source that you can try? If you have the same issue when using another pair of speakers, and you've ruled out the pre-amp, that only leaves the source (Oppo) or the amp. If you have a tuner, receiver with pre-outs, iPod or so... | |
| Remasters: which are the good ones? I have enjoyed the remastered version of Frampton Comes Alive and Who's Next. Both sound much better than the original CD releases. But then, they should sound better, right? The originals were released in the first days of CD when everything soun... | |
| State of the art speakers from yesteryear. Some folks think that the Quad 57 and/or 63s are still the best speaker ever made. However, they do typically take a greater amount of care and feeding than do a typical dynamic speaker.Again, some folks think a Klipsch K-horn with modern updates ... | |
| CD players for soundstage depth In the $2K-$3K used price range, I like the Resolution Audio Opus 21. You might even be able to find a Great Northern Sound mod'd version for less than $3K. It is a great player backed by a great US based company. Although I haven't owned the high... | |
| Is my amp clipping? Here's an easy troubleshooting step.Plug your Oppo's L&R analog outputs directly into the Belles Amplifier. Turn the Oppo on, press the volume down button on the Oppo remote about 20 times to insure the built-in digital variable volume is set ... | |
| CD players for soundstage depth Twoleftears,I'm in agreement with Sugarbrie. Any highly resolving CD player should provide the type of soundstage you seek if the rest of your system is already proven to have these qualities.I was just at a friend's house to hear my CD player in ... | |
| Large vs small ....LFE out... Typically ther is no crossover setting just for the LFE. LFE is a discrete channel of information and the recording engineer would have only recorded "low frequency effects" onto that channel. There is no need to do anything to account for this, o... | |
| RadioShack Sound Meter I don't really know the answer to your question, but I do know the RS meter is fairly inaccurate at certain frequencies. If you want to be accurate, you'll need a chart that shows the deviate at each of the frequency bands. I'm pretty sure you can... | |
| Well here's my entry level $2500 system Chris,If you got all of that for $2500 from a dealer, especially if it came with warranty, I would say you did pretty well for yourself. I'll bet it sounds pretty darn good too!Enjoy the music. That's what it's all about......TIC | |
| Who makes these? what is the value on them? For your reference, there was a pair of Soundwave speakers posted in the classified ads here today. Here's the link:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1215518839There are also ads for your B&K amp and the Theta stuff currently... |
