| Power amp + CDP: is that enough? Not likely. Your CD player was not intended to drive a power amp. You can try it, but the sound, while clean, will be lacking in midbass punch and the music takes on a sterile character. If you can borrow a power amp give it a try and tell us what... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype? Sunnyjim, With your discussions on Von Schweikert VR-1s and you even ran a "want to buy" ad on Audiogon for VR-1s I thought by now you would either bite the bullet or move on to another speaker. | |
| Proac Response 2 Just add a REL. Run your Response 2s full range and blend the REL. No problem getting a seemless sound. If it works with Quads it will work with your ProAcs. | |
| $100 Speakers You should check out Dali speakers at pricedumper.com They are not worth anywhere near their list price, but at these blowout prices they are tolerable. | |
| kt88's for Quicksilver 90 watt silver monos I recently retubed my Silver 90s with JJ KT88s from Mike Sanders. Mike knows what works best in his amplifiers. | |
| Hearing Tests A major factor in the validity of on line hearing tests is the speakers used in the test. The speakers should have a perfectly flat response. | |
| Tube Rolling and the Quest for "perfect sound" Phaelon, I like your post, but if there is one thing I have noticed, when the sound is good and I mean really good, everyone agrees that it sounds good. Well, except for the people that think their stereo system sounds better than live music. | |
| Configuring my system.. component opinions. Marakanetz, I think you mean SL-1. JL-1s are mono amplifiers. | |
| Tube Rolling and the Quest for "perfect sound" More often than not a tube CD player will sound best with the tubes it was designed with. Not all tubes are equal and to really hear how these tubes are changing the sound you should bias each and every tube you try. The problem is there are no bi... | |
| Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height Skylan makes excellent stands. Most of the recommendations will degrade the quality of your stands. I see only two options for you. Tilt your existing stands to aim the tweeter at the desired height or buy taller stands. | |
| Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height Skylan makes very good stands. Most of the recommendations will degrade the stands. There are only two options. Tilt your existing stands or buy new stands. | |
| Will a tube setup sound good for all music ? It depends on what speakers you are using. With your ProAcs it will sound great with all types of music. I used Quicksilver monos with ProAc speakers with excellent results. Although the bass will be different with tubes you may prefer it. | |
| Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height There is no reason to raise your speakers. All you need to do is tilt them back. You can accurately do this by using a drafting T and a laser. With the long end of the T pointed at your listening position tilt the speaker back until the laser is a... | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? Edwyun, I kind of see where you are going with your statement, but I believe speakers are a bigger factor in low volume detail. I have to agree with Drubin and other posters on this subject regarding Quad speakers. I attribute Quad's low volume de... | |
| Proac tweeter issue Maplegrovemusic, Yes, I would say this is fairly common, but it is an easy fix. |
