| Upgrading wall outlets You mean Caliburn, Boulder, etc, attempt to hold DOWN costs? I don't believe it. Or rather, I believe they attempt to hold their costs down, but not the price tag to he consumer. At a certain level (and maybe at lots of levels -- $2k/meter cables?... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets Gr3098's last question is excellent. I've often wondered at it myself. The old "aiming for a price point" excuse is not gonna fly here. | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system Buy headphones or move the system to a friendly room -- or get another system for a friendly room. Rooms can nearly make a system, and can easily kill one. Yours sounds to me like a killer.By the way, I know nothing, and YMMV. | |
| Best used analog receiver under $150? I recently scored a Yamaha CR-820 on Ebay for $33. Didn't really need it. It was local, so no ship fees, and I had always wanted one of these bigger Yamahas when I was a kid. It's a little bit dingy, and I needed to clean the switches, pots and in... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Anyone said "Bell Bottom Blues" yet? Somebody must have. | |
| attenuators and potentiometers Hi Al,Yes I think you are right. Putting the limiter on makes no difference to gain at lower volume levels, so it must function as you suggest. I'll try the gain controls and see what I hear, or rather, hear what I hear.Thanks! | |
| Snell E 3 Something is amiss. The Snell e3 isn't all that difficult to power. 130 watts is way ample. Is the Onkyo some super complicated AV 7.1 channel receiver? My guess is that it is set up oddly -- some whiz bang feature muting the output. Maybe it is u... | |
| grilles on or off the speakers?? Say, here's a thought: trust YOUR ears with YOUR gear in YOUR room with YOUR preferred music. Why assume there's one right answer for all? And some speakers may be "voiced" with grills on, but not in your room with your gear and your ears. | |
| Is the NAD 3020 the best value of all time? Hey McGarick -- go figure. I had a NAIT3 -- perhaps the least well loved of the Naits -- for years. Getting it was was the first or second most impressive change in my audio evolution ever, and it taught me just how involving and compelling reprod... | |
| Nait 5i speaker choices What Emil said -- I heard the 5i with Vandy 1c's and thought the combo sounded great. | |
| system synergy Mechans,Gee I'm sorry for your trouble. It must be a terrible burden you are under. I had no idea. I'm sorry if my glib and terse reply offended. I wish you all good days.I'm still not clear, though. Exactly which combination of preamp/amp do you ... | |
| system synergy Thanks, Tholt. Mechans: that's a pretty incoherent ranting ramble you just went on. But one thing. Why on Earth would you think my P-300 Motif CR* combo slow? Especially without knowing what the speakers are (Thiel CS2 2). Doesn't sound slow to me... | |
| system synergy Ngjockey: You say: "I think you have the better combination already but vintage means many things."Might you elaborate on either or both parts of that?And Tholt:The rated output impedance of the CR8 is "less than 200 ohms"; the rated input impedan... | |
| Are singers musicians? Suggested definition: Musician = someone who makes music. That'll help if you define "music". Good bloody luck.How about: Music: what musicians make qua musician. Helpful. huh?If you hate it and can't imagine why anyone would like it, is it still ... | |
