| Traveling never going to happen??? need advice It would need to be a screaming good deal to drive any distance for pickup. My range would be under 800 mi round trip. | |
| Comparing Audioquest cable to Morrow The Morrow MA3 is my choice between source and preamp. They give the most 3D image of any of the cables I've tried. The tonal balance is very even and dynamics are not suppressed. From preamp to amp I prefer the Audio Magic Illusion. Other cables ... | |
| backup cd player For a backup, I would take the Oppo 105. If nothing else, it offers the options of SACD, DVDA, BluRay plus the movie world. | |
| I need to adapt a Hegel HD 25 DAC to 12 volts. Or you could buy a Chord Hugo which is (self) battery powered and will run 8 hrs or so before requiring a recharge. It may not be the answer if you have it tucked in an area with no access. | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? The movie in question was Minority Report which in itself was ok.I have no desire to see creatures fly through the air in all directions, morph from on thing to the other, blood and guts everywhere, and explosions every two seconds. So just count ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mk2 or Daedalus Ulysses v2 I only heard the original Crescendo at RMAF 2007 powered by a pair of Halcro DM58 amps. The bass in that setup with Robert's program material was the hardest hitting, most concussive bass I've heard from any speaker. Very impressive! The overall s... | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? I agree, way too loud and sounds like crap. That was 11 years ago and I have not had any inclination to return.The sad part is the masses enjoy this brutal sound so the theaters give them want they want.Live sports events are no better. One is con... | |
| Best Musical Sub Maybe a good read would be JV's review in TAS of the JL subs with the Raidho speakers. He used dual subs placed close to and relatively in the same plane as the Raidho's. I use this type of placement with my speakers which are 1st order crossover ... | |
| Best Musical Sub Have you tried setting the crossover high enough to encompass the kick drum and time align the sub to the main woofers? You can do this by ear with trial and error. Clarity is maintained through the midrange without bass bloat. I really don't thin... | |
| Audiophile Newbie Commonly the output signal from the amp to the speaker. Left and right which is two channels for stereo. Home theater is typically referred to as multichannel which is usually at least five speakers or channels. | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 47ghibli, it's not only efficiency but also an impedance that does not vary all over the place. Tube amps for the most part will have an easier time driving a load above 8 ohms with a 6 ohm minimum. That's not to say a 4 ohm speaker won't perform ... | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 Shakey, perhaps that is why there is a version 3. I have not heard either version. My suggestion was based on the tube friendly drive and generally favorable comments received by Coincident speakers and amps from reviewers and consumers. As they s... | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 There is a pair of Coincident Super Eclipse 3's for sale right now at 2500.00. Totally tube amp friendly and a good size for your room. They look perfect in the photos. That's my recommendation for today. BTW, your original list didn't include any... | |
| What sub under a grand? I'm with Schubert on this. The Gallo subs are superior to any sub I've ever had including REL. They are also more compact than almost any other sub if that is important to you. | |
| Cary Audio v12r OR Quicksilver Audio M60? I've had two amps with provision to switch to triode, a VAC Phi 110 and a Cary 120S. In both cases, triode operation was less than satisfactory, no dynamics, lack of detail, and limited frequency response. My speakers are designed for tubes. Howev... |
