| RPG Room Optimizer and other software rives, etc. I agree with Cinematic Systems IF you are planning on staying in the same place for awhile. I rent and CARA makes more sense for me. But, if you can get an acoustic expert to come in (assuming it isn't unreasonably expensive) it can make a huge im... | |
| Did anyone have the Polk audio LS speakers? The Polks are surprisingly good, but I believe, as S7horton mentioned, that the Vandersteens are in a whole other league. Rob | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Andre Segovia - One of the greatest musicians of all time. As far as favorite rock guitarist - Randy RhoadsMost talented IMHO - Frank Gambale or Steve Vai.Rob | |
| How many sealed LP's do you have? I don't have any either - they get ripped open like a kid in a candy store. I guess collectors would be the ones that keep them unopened. Rob | |
| Monitors and full range? I've never heard a monitor or sub integrated like a quality floorstander. I can almost always hear the crossover. | |
| XA777ES vs Meridian 508.24 vs Gamut CD1 in redbook Frano, I read your post wrong. I apologize for my acusation. Damn, that's my third apology today. I must be a prick LOL Anyway, I bought (recently) a modded (modwright-superclock 2) XA777ES, and I am enjoying it. Without a doubt, I think the relat... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Uru975, You're right. I must have been in a bad mood yesterday because I was harsh on a couple of posts. This is the second time I am going to apologize today. I apologize. I have a modest system, and they sound nothing like what a lot of people h... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying Well SACD is an improvement over redbook, and gets much closer to vinyl, but vinyl is clearly the best of the 3 no matter how you look at it. But it would be nice to eventually get a format that was almost the same strictly for convenience (i.e. t... | |
| RPG Room Optimizer and other software rives, etc. CARA definately works. It just takes a lot of input. But it did give a position for my speakers and room treatment that gave a flat frequency response. I still fine tune by ear, but it gives the best general placement. I'd like to help you out, bu... | |
| Spanish Guitar My favorites are: Spanish Andre SegoviaPaco De Luciaand much more - but those are at my top. | |
| Another sign SACD is dying Well, if whether Blu-ray or whatever the next thing is comes out, it will take another 2-3 years to start getting software for it. So, if you are waiting then you'll be waiting for a long time. SACD isn't going to die in the near future. But you d... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? It's funny how on the posts above: the people who have actually listened to these speakers for a significant amount of time have great things to say, and the ones that have heard a demo or a VR-1 has negative connotations to throw in there.Lesson:... | |
| what CD player between 1-2K The Cary 308T is the best of both worlds (I used Mullard tubes). The glare is reduced compared to the 308, but you still get more detail than the Jolida. The Jolida, however, is the best value I think. Rob | |
| Anyone have the Creek CD50 MKII I've heard it at a dealers and wasn't all that impressed. It was ok, but I think you can do better for the price. It's possible it wasn't broken in completely however. Rob | |
| Preamp to pair with an Adcom GFA-555 mkII I'd keep the speakers you have for >$300. Preamp under $500 is tough. But I agree I'd go with tubes - it'll be hard to get smooth in solid state for that price point. |
