| CD Recordings..... What Do U Know? If you are going from a digital source to digital source and use any recorder that has jitter reduction you can often improve the sound. Professional equipment usually has very good clocking and you can often improve the sound. PCs can too improve... | |
| Martin Logan, thinking of upgrading HT speakers?? I agree with the above posts. Upgrade the projector--your speakers are great. I've used Logos and Monoliths in the front and Triads in the rear, but will be changing to MLs for the rear as well in a new room that has the space. The previous one di... | |
| What do you think of the new "Simply Vinyl" albums Quality control is not the best on these. I've returned at least one and been slightly disappointed with another. I have heard that some are warped from other persons, though I have not had that problem. As to their sound, I agree, when they are g... | |
| What about "Pro" vs. Audiophile ????? There is a lot the audiophile community could learn from "pro" gear. However, the goals of the two are not the same at all. Take the design of a studio control room vs a listening room. The studio control room is designed to give the engineer exac... | |
| Is it worth keeping a Levenson no.32, no360s when The No32 is a no holds barred pre-amp. As the 40 is the same for a processor. However, I think it's impossible to have all the digital circuitry necessary in the 40 without compromising it's ability as a pre-amp. Keep in mind, when I say compromis... | |
| Cryogenics: accomplish what and work how? I've used cryo cables and found little difference. Keep in mind, it is difficult to compare the same cable cryo vs non-cryo. Either a manufacturer does cryo right, or not at all. So an apples to apples comparison is nearly impossible. That said, y... | |
| Best Looking components / your vote please Bang and Olufsen: Most BeautifulJadis Horns: Most OutrageousManley Stingray: Most Unique (sounds great too) | |
| I Need Help I had the same annoying buzz in my center once. It was like the ghost in the machine and was very difficult to find the problem. First I would recommend that you hook the center output up to one of your mains and see if it still buzzes. If so, the... | |
| Audioweb/ What a bear This is a logic question, right? | |
| What percent of your system cost is for cables? 10 to 12 % is about what mine runs. | |
| What to do about ventilation duct noise??? Not too effective. You need to create a place for the air to go and settle so to speak. An area that is considerably (2x) larger than the area that feeds it is recommended. Even larger is preferred. Then you want ducts going out from that--the mor... | |
| 4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean..... It's a good question and typically misunderstood by many--even some designers. You are correct in thinking that the higher load would be more "accurate". It has less demands on the amplifier and is easier to drive. However, the trade off is that i... | |
| Innaugural DVD Well, a few things come to mind. Some of the above are great demo disks, but many great demo disks have little or no appeal to most (not all) women. Like speedway as SD mentioned--great disk but likely little appeal for your wife. I would probably... | |
| Internal Speaker Rewiring Sean's advice should be taken. I've had similar experiences and I believe Albert Porter has as well. In fact if I remember correctly, after Albert "upgraded" his wire and his speakers sounded terrible he went back to the amnufacturer (or sent his ... | |
| Any "musicians" in the bunch? I play the piano, but unfortunately it is in storage for the next year while our house is being built. I'm tempted to buy a small electric piano to tide me over. I had a friend that played the peddle steel--neat instrument if you are into bluegras... |
