| What should I upgrade? Hi Develyn,Your Kimber Cables are fine, Kimber Cables are excellent and represent very good value for the money, and as you go up the line they certainly do get better, like most things.Keep in mind that when tweaking your system with, racks, cabl... | |
| What should I upgrade? I believe that a pitched roof with beams on the ceiling will actually help break up any unwanted bass modes.Before we worry about bass traps, perhaps we should get some bass first ; )Rich | |
| Best Cd Player under $4000? Are your speakers far enough away from the front wall? There should be a minimum of at least 3 feet to improve sound-staging; however too far away and you may lose some bass reinforcement, and your system could sound lean.Have you tried removing t... | |

| What should I upgrade? You want it all.., like the rest of us.That's a fairly large room. I would think, that to add some dynamics and bass to rock music, you either have to get larger panels like the 3.6's or add a sub. I would think that adding a sub would give you mo... | |
| What should I upgrade? How large is your room?Do you live in a House or an Apartment?What type of music do you listen to?Do you just want to tighten up the bass, or do you want more slam and dynamics?I believe that your best solution to get a more defined low-end, depen... | |
| volume vs presence You know..., I thought that we had two different questions here; but now I'm not so sure, I thought one was presence and the other was percussive attack. Presence sometimes means different things to different people. To me it means that the Vocali... | |
| volume vs presence Hi Jaffa,That is a decent size room that you have. I would have to believe that a speaker that goes down to about 28-30hz, will suffice.You could certainly get "too big" and that won't be good either. The goal should be to get the right sized spea... | |
| volume vs presence Jaffa777,I forgot to ask you.., How large is your room?Rich | |
| volume vs presence I know exactly what you're talking about.., to feel involved with the music you have to crank it up.I live in a Condo, and I had the same problem when I switched from a floor-standing speaker (Alon IV) with deep bass to stand-mounted monitors (Son... | |
| Surround speakers I see a used pair of Paradigm ADP-150 Dipoles here for $200I can also recommend Definitive Technology and NHT if you can go up a little in price, but I don't see any dipoles here.I also see a pair of Elan thp650ss dipoles in your price range, howe... | |
| DAC instead of Pre-amp Like any other component in the Audio Chain; Preamps or Line Stages do make a difference, good ones may improve the sound, poor ones may worsen the sound, and no Preamp will have no effect on the sound. This could either be good or bad. Last year,... | |
| CD transport vs streamer? Streaming media is data transferred in a stream of packets that are interpreted and rendered, in real time, by a software application as the packets arrive.Streaming is not only limited to telecommunication networks anymore. An end-user may also s... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? I would try an upgraded power cable first, then do power conditioning only if necessary. As stated many times here before, sometimes power conditioners can suck the life out of a system, and then again sometimes they're necessary.Good Luck! | |
| CD transport vs streamer? Your very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it. You wont be sorry if you use it as a Transport, and as you know it also plays great Internet Music and it will work with your Duet Remote.If your Dac has an AES/EBU input, then I would recommend you use ... |
