| Are there speakers like this? The ADS 710s and 810s were GREAT speakers, hard to find a good-condition used pair...-RW- | |
| Component Video cable recommendation Just buy a well-constructed cable from a reputable manufacturer. Expect to spend $50-100, any more is a waste of money, IMHO...-RW- | |
| Recommentation for small floorstander Gallo Reference 3 - non-box, floorstander, VERY highly reviewed...-RW- | |
| Need help generating a short list >> Considering you want to try something other than conventional dynamic designs...<<Tvad made a good recommendation, the Zus are getting GREAT reviews. So, too, do the Gallo Ref 3s - talk about unconventional! I am, however, biased: I... | |
| Paradigm Tweeter dome replacement? It seems you would simply replace the tweeter in its entirety - order one from Paradigm. once it arrives, get out your screwdriver and have at it...-RW- | |
| new equip storage Wow, $30 million? That must be one HELL of a system! Go ahead and store the system in the new house. Give me the address and I'll "keep an eye on it" for ya. Just kidding, of course. *Definitely* get some temp-controlled storage until the house ha... | |
| How to hook up a computer to a home theater Audio, yes. Video, no. I'm using a LinkSys Wireless MusicBridge that connects via coax digital into my HK pre-pro. I can play any audio file from my PC (via WinAmp) and stream it out to my hi-fi. It cost me $55 and about 1 hour of setup time...-RW- | |
| Best POP audiophile recording/album... Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark" is rated very highly, as well. Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat" is also quite a sonic marvel.-RW- | |
| Best sonics/music on CD These recent acquisitions have floored me:1) Mark Knopfler "Sailing To Philadelphia"2) Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds"3) Pat Metheny "Imaginary Day"The sonics on these are *astounding*, all of them are DTS encoded. The music is sublime...-RW- | |
| best all-round,full range at $2000 >> Therefore, IMO, the Ref 3 cannot be considered full range loudspeakers, nor can the Ref 3/SA combo be found for $2000, which is what the originator of the thread was seeking. <<That may be true, but I purchased my Ref 3s for $1700 d... | |
| Larry Carlton Thanks for the review, Ferrari! I, too, miss the "old" LC. It's good to hear he's returning to the form that enthralled me so many years ago. The Jazz-lite phase he went thru was never my cup o' tea.-RW- | |
| Audiophile Boom Box? I'm using a Sonic Impact digital amp ($29) + a set of Infinity bookshelf speakers and it sounds pretty darn good. There is no digital out on MP3 players, so you have to use their DACs to get the sound from the player to the amp, but it sounds pret... | |
| Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3 I'd probably do this:1) Rip the CDs to FLAC (*lossless* compression) and store on a series of big drives. USB external drives are crazy cheap right now and getting cheaper.2) Store the CDs or sell them as needed.3) Use a LinkSys Wireless MusicBrid... | |
| B&O Beovox M70's - Any experience? We sold the entire B&O line back in the late 70s and early 80s. IMHO, they were "ok" speakers, but no match for the KEFs, Spendors, or ADSs of that period. They do have nice cabinets and are well-built, however...-RW- | |
| best all-round,full range at $2000 TVAD wrote: "The Gallo Ref 3 frequency response is 35Hz-50Khz. The owners here no doubt love them, but IMO bass response to 35Hz misses the definition of full-range by at least 5Hz."If that 5Hz really bugs ya, you have 2 options: Use the Gall SA a... |
