| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions Hey Garfish, I'm starting to warmup to this a little bit on the first five tracks. The recording certainly isn't very clean and has a nasty top end, this on a very forgiving tubed preamp/amp combo, pity the the listener with solid state electronic... | |
| B W 802N how much power? I have my N802's in a 14x15 room with an 8-11 ft. vaulted ceiling that is open at top extending into another 10x25 ft room. I was using a Classe CA300 which had more than adequate power, probably a little too much as the soundstage was humongous, ... | |
| Class "A" Tube Amp Temps? 1st Time Tuber I can tell you that the heat is normal. My Cary SLI50 puts out considerable heat for a 30w amp and also uses tube rectification which will add some heat due to the extra tubes. | |
| Good In-Wall Speakers? Try Triad Design at Triadspeakers.com. I have a three piece set of their "in room" speakers and they are great and I know they have a large selection of affordable "in wall" speakers. | |
| Is the Live Music Reference Correct? No. TAS exults live unamplified music instead of what we get from most live perfoemances, hard to find for the music I'd like to hear. The volume is always way too loud for me at most jazz and rock venues even though I listen at what I consider to... | |

| Stunned by a cable upgrade Sean said it best, if it sounds good don't change it and muck it up trying to keep up with the latest and greatest. | |
| Do your Cables migrate thru your system? Some cables migrate in and out and some seemingly out to the closet forever but then again there could arise some occasion like you want to try out a sub with an outboard cross-over and suddenly you need some cables and so what if you think they'r... | |
| Tight Bass Thanks for all the responses. It has helped me better understand the term. Sean's in depth response was very enlightening as was Najo on his perspective of the pace/timing aspect and the trade off he is happy with. | |
| Best headphones under 800.00 USD I will also recommend the HD600 and they sound great with any music I've sent through them, mostly jazz and rock. | |
| Speaker cable termination I would be inclined to think bare wire would be best for simple cable constuction but would probably present a problem with the more exotic internal configurations. | |
| opinions on the blue point special I auditioned a Project Wood table with this cartridge and it didn't sound "special" to me. I found an Ortofon cartridge that sounded better, not as thin through the upper bass. | |
| Best Cd player for under 500 Find a top of the line old Sony. I purchased the D500se for a bedroom system and while it sounds ok especially driving sennheiser phones on the ASL headphone amp it doesn't have the refinement of a top player played on big full range system. Howev... | |
| JBL B380 Subwoofer I had a B380 for a number of years and powered it with an Adcom GFA555 most of the time or a Classe Dr8 with good results with either amp. I found the B380 will not plumb the nether regions however. The lowest response I could get in my room using... | |
| Audio s impact on enviroment Dougholdco and Elizabeth pretty much sum it up as far as I'm concerned. |
