| Speaker Break In ? You should play at loud levels if possible. Make sure there is no "clipping". Normal listening levels will be ok due to necessity, but low listening levels will likely take months to acheive full break in. Rock music is the best. Also, if you have... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. These aren't entry level -- he has the vr1 and vr2 which also sound incredible at their price then of course he has the vr11 I think $100k plus some change ok compared to that the Utopia is a entry level speaker lol | |
| Is this rude? Sometimes you can find a high end shop that isn't like that. But most are. Usually the hi end shops associated with home theater equipment. I support the legite honest shops by purchasing through them, unless my budget won't stretch then I'll go a... | |
| phono cable Thanks for the responses. I am looking into Discovery cables. I'm wondering if the Discovery Essense cable would work as as well and is there a way to just add the ground leads without opening the cable since it is exterior? Ultimately when I get ... | |
| Advice Please : DIY acoustic panels Yes the diy is so easy and I don't imagine that you need to spend a lot of money. Simply buy a sheet of compressed fiberglass and wrap some fabric over it - staple - to the back and you have a nice looking, effective absorber. I wish I could say t... | |
| Got my very first system. What's my next move? Yes you owe a BIG thanks to your Dad. Learn to just enjoy music and how the system sounds then you can compare and upgrade later if necessary. | |
| Dynavector 17d2mk2 and JMW Kehut, I actually have mine tracking at 2grams. I would try that out before getting another counter weight. Espicially with the JMW type of counter skate. Give it a shot. If it doesn't sound right then of course get the counterweight. Check for a ... | |
| Room mode ?'s Bulldogger gave great advice, if you can't move your speakers then your chair may be your only alterative. It can be frustrating. In my case I wanted to give up, but be persistant and you'll eventually find it. Remember after doing the measurement... | |
| newbie question- omega/meadowlark/traingle/reynaud Von Schweikert VR-1 used. Paradigm studio 40 used. There are so many others in that price range, NHT Super one | |
| What artist piqued your interest? Yeah I pretty much listen to jazz, but mainly classical. I Didn't like country (which is pretty close to blue grass), then I picked up Allison Krauss - Union Station and got into blue grass. Would love more high quality recordings of newer rock or... | |
| Still pondering Paradigms How do I know if I can contribute or not UNLESS I read the thread ;) Hopefully you aren't taking too seiously. But now I am being serious. I did own the paradigm studio 100 (version 1) - A very very good speaker for the price. But I now have the V... | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? stehno, I am using Auralex 1" foam pads. I do have a comforter on one wall to kill the flutter echo, but I think, well I know because I've tried covering all the walls, will kill the dynamics and roll of the highs. There is nothing wrong with carp... | |
| Best Cartridge for VPI Aries orig + JMW 10.5 ? Dynavector Karat! taste of the high end for $750 That's the combo I have. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4jr owners, your thoughts? Well Stephen, Mine are breaking in still and still trying to find the right placement (only downside to VS speakers but who cares) - the detail and soundstage and... are absolutely amazing. I could hear noises I thought were coming from outside an... | |
| HELP with Speakers for a 11 ft X 12 ft room??? I will let you know how it turns out. I read about this in Robert Harleys book too. It seems to be the best bet for square rooms (especially small ones) according to him. However the bass will have to be dealt with since the speakers will be close... |
