| equipment interface to rack tweaks Last night I swapped everything back to the Justarack and that is the sound that works for me and I can now see that no amount of tweaking on the Polycrystal rack will result in the sound that I crave. This system just sounds so good I can't wait ... | |
| hum Being caused by ?? Check if all components use pin 2 hot and pin 3 ground. I would suspect that one amp deviates from this configuration. Also since purchasing my VAC Renaissance preamp which is truly balanced operation, I find out that my Sony cd player and my Clas... | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. The Delphi Imager speakers or Jimmy Carter. | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 vs. ProAc Responce 2.5 The Proac's will sound the best with the least amount of effort in component and cable matching. IMHO when things are set up optimally the Nautilus 802 will easily surpass the Proac in definition and bass impact. | |
| Open door at first reflection area of right spkr You can play around with toe-in to compensate but you will probably always hear that un-even response. You need to re-model. Add a pocket door, or take the whole wall down and reconfigure which is what I did years ago. I had two big openings, one ... | |
| Anyone hear new Antique Sound Labs "Hurricane"? Chinese KT88's are in the thirty dollar range each, so even with cheap tubes you're looking close to five hundred bucks. I'm in AZ and that many tubes going at once would only leave me with three or four months it could be used. The heat output sh... | |
| Cary sound? I have an SLI50 integrated and it is dead quiet first of all. Sound emanates from a black silence that is crystal clear and it possesses excellent dynamics both micro and macro. You hear all the detail with no harshness or spot-lighting. It has ex... | |
| Shipping/packing-what's the standard for pre & CD? In the course of my business I spend about six grand a month shipping with fedex and I would never send anything of much value using the ground service. Air freight is the only way to go. In a lot of cases you can ship 3rd day and it will arrive 2... | |
| Speaker Balance Did you try swapping the speaker cables to make sure it's not an equipment imbalance instead of a room imbalance. If it is a room problem sometimes you can alter by moving the speaker only a few inches. From your listing position use a tape measur... | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff What you need is another system or two. I like a different sound/perspective on a regular basis. In my main listening room I have two racks and two complete systems that share only source material, two different cd players and a turntable. One sys... | |
| I'm confused. Need direction on analogue system Go with an outboard phono. Start off with something like the Phonomena to tide you over until you can spring for the Supratek. It will be better than your built in phono section and you can match the gain and loading. It is very quiet and well bal... | |
| Audiophile Artwork? Posters? Anything? I always thought that even an audiophile calendar would be nice, some photos of amps, speakers, or exotic systems each month. Maybe we can talk Eldragon into making one available for next year. | |
| Speakers that sound like Thiels on steroids. Try Green Mountain Audio. Roy Johnson's speakers are phase and time aligned and will play at the decibels you're asking for. The speakers image extemely well. They do require a fair amount of power to play loud however. The only Thiels I've auditi... | |
| New Jazz Releases..What Do You Like? Dee Dee Bridgewater "Live at Yoshi's" Verve 314 543 354-2This disc is well recorded, good ambiance and dynamics, has some "scat" type songs in the Ella genre and some nice ballads. | |
| Thoughts on Amplification - Requesting feedback There is no one system that does it all. I do not think it is possible to truly appreciate what tubed elctronics can do in a limited (several hour?) listening session. The type of music you enjoy the most will have a definitive impact on your choi... |
