| Alon vs Nola bass Speaker/room interaction is the single most critical element in achieving superior sound quality. Get the Nolas interacting with the room properly and your problem will be solved.-RW- | |
| which technology really has the best picture >> No rear projection TV can compete against a direct view TV. <<Say what? RPTVs and CRTs have, without a doubt, the truest blacks. And their color rendition, brightness, and contrast are at least as good. Take a $2,000 RPTV, get it IS... | |
| Modding NAD system: adding IEC & power cord ? For a modest *bedroom* system? I think I'd be more inclined to invest in better quality source material and/or room treatment...-RW- | |
| Do these speakers exist? Ummm, I believe the Gallo Reference 3s match your criteria. Avaialable for WAY under $10k...-RW- | |
| 2.1 Speaker suggestions I would look seriously at the Gallo Dues for the 2 portion of the 2.1 There were a pair that *just* sold here on Audiogon for $700 Keep an eye out for similar future bargains...-RW- | |
| 50 A power amp? What kind of monster is that? According to factory-published specs., my amp can swing +-100 amps. Duration of delivery, I do not know. Harman-Kardon Signature 2.1 For solid state, it sounds pretty good matched up to my all Gallo surround system.-RW- | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... "Who Do You Love?" from the album Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service. I had NO idea that guitar playing could sound SO sweet. To this day, it is STILL my favorite album. John Cipollina was one of the greatest guitar players ever. May he... | |
| HT system with Best Possible Redbook perfornance I'm not so sure about the Denon's lack of Redbook performance. My buddy and I had a shootout 3 weeks ago between my Denon 2910 and his Marantz 8260 using Redbook and SACD and the Denon matched the Marantz step for step and surpassed it in some way... | |
| 1.0 or 1.5 m digital interconnect, does it matter? Pawlowski6132 is right, just get a cable that will reach from the input to the output and stop stressing. There is absolutely NO sonic difference between them, anybody claiming there is has to be a serious whack job.-RW- | |
| Taking My First Steps I would recommend staying away from Apple lossless and going with a more universal (and less proprietary) lossless format, FLAC or APE. WinAmp has free plugins available that will play these formats natively. You can also playback thru your main s... | |
| Best speaker for small 12x14 room 50 WPC tube amp The Heresy will play *loud* with a 50W amp and are very well-built speakers. I think they sound best when elevated 3-6 in. and tilted back a bit.The Gallo Ref 3s could also work in that space and I'm somewhat biased towards them, I own a pair. The... | |
| Vintage Radio Shack speaker? I gotta think the woofer surrounds are toast and I'll bet the caps in the crossovers are shot. If you just want some garage speakers, they might be okay. But I'd be more inclined to spring $45 for a brand new pair of the Insignias that all the AA ... | |
| question on pwr cords Yeah, I've always wondered how 6' of power cable from the wall outlet to your component could make any difference since the power came to your house thru several miles of cable already. But there are plenty of guys on this forum who will SWEAR tha... | |
| Center Stage? Wow, your system configuration sounds almost exactly like mine, except mine is done in wood, not iron (click on the System link for pics.)I, too, use a thick blanket to cover the TV and it seems to work quite well. Moving my speakers or TV is not ... | |
| DSOTM - PF Have you heard the multi-channel DVD-Audio version that was going around the Internet a few months back? If not, you ought to - it sounds fabulous! Email me for details...-RW- |
