| High pass and low pass filters It might be a good place to start but likely not end there. Many variables at play here: room; sub position; steepness of frequency roll off or cut off in the filters; etc. Chances are, with everything set at 80Hz, everything will play somewhat ab... | |
| Speaker Question...first post on the gon Congrats! Ty's PDs do look interesting. Please report back on those. Would love to hear them myself one day. Hey, I know, crank them up to 11 and open your windows and perhaps I will ;^} | |
| Speaker Question...first post on the gon Used Zu Defs for sure - sealed, plus 4 10" powered subs. I've seen them used for sale for around $5k.http://www.zuaudio.com/images/stories/product_specs_pdf/def2_specs.pdf | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? IMO, these 45 watt SET amps are mid-range champs:http://www.audiomirror.com/images/vacuumtube6c33ca.htmlVlad usually has them for sale around $2500 or so. | |
| I want a warmer high end Jdombrow has a good idea - try Cardas ICs - the best (used) in the line you can afford. (Disclaimer - I have a pair for sale.) | |
| Best driving music. Jimmy Reed for a lazy drive; Motorhead for a frenetic drive. | |
| New Blue Note XRCDs Rsorrenl - Agree that the music is great (have Sonny Clark, Tina Brooks, Hank Mobley, all on standard Red Book), but as far as the playback quality, did you compare these to the standard Red Book? | |
| Would adding another REL STRATA Help? I'd always use minimum of two subs regardless of room size. So yes, go for another! place one of them near center of one side wall. The other wherever you get smoothest response. | |
| Cable upgrades for Quicksilver linestage preamp? What is it you do not like (sound too bright? too dull? too much bass? not enough? etc.)? And is it a brand new preamp or used? | |
| Your First Vinyl Album. Either Johnny Winter, "Second Winter", or Savoy Brown, "A Step Further", cannot recall which was first, though they were the first two. $3.99 at the Woolworth IIRC. Of course, that's if you paid retail. My friend's sister worked the cash register ... | |
| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? Other than being able to optimally enjoy music, which is number one reason, I am sensitive to and therefore agitated by unnatural sounding music - too heavy bass, sloppy or fuzzy bass, muffled mids, zingy or tizzy highs, cymbals that don't sound l... | |

Easy to communicate with (I've done e-mail only), will build to order and assist with decisions, and builds a wonderful, extremely cost-effective product. I have his 2... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE My first hi end speakers, EgglestonWorks Fontaines, have been the cornerstone of my system since 2005. Since their arrival I have yet to hear a speaker I'd prefer as their replacement. Many I've enjoyed, but none as replacement. So for me, by defa... | |
