| Hifi V.s. The music makers "Russ, this and that is true, but no great recording artist can make poor performance great while great musician can turn poor recording sound great. Czarivey"I agree 100%. | |
| Hifi V.s. The music makers There are musicians and there are the recording arts. The musicians produce the raw material for the recording artists/engineers to use in their product. Sometimes the musician is highly involved and sometimes not. Not to go too far off course but... | |
| Have you heard pro studio monitors ? In top studios after all the work is done using nearfield monitors, the music is played on high-end home loudspeakers as a final check. I don't know if that carries any weight because on pop recordings they will also play the cut on a car loudspea... | |
| Quiet Amp Cooling Fan I hate to say it but if you are in a smaller room that is really quiet, any fan is going to be heard. There is no way to kill it. I have tried. | |
| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band Henry Mancini, Big Latin Band. Not what it sounds like. Great tunes that drive hard and the recording quality is top shelf. | |
| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation How can you not have room for a 12X12 inch foot print? | |
| best match power amp for Acoustic Research AR 3 The design of the AR-3 required a lot of power. I think around 150wpc would be about right and they will take more. | |
| Acoustic Research AR-3 The AR3a was a good speaker in it's day but it is long ago obsolete. I don't think I would repair a non-working pair. They do look great and have solid cabinets but the drivers are fairly low quality compared to today's designs. I'm not sure it's ... | |
| Hot Stamper - myth or reality? As most know records are made from stampers which are made from mothers which are made from the master. The closer you get to the master, the better the pressing. You surely don't want the 10,000th copy from the 6th mother if you can get one that ... | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll What is this Boo-gee Woo-gee music you are talking about? | |
| Just a bit to bright Runnin has it right. Get rid of the stranded speaker cable. If that doesn't do it, you will have to kill the tweeter with a resistor. Contact the manufacturer for recommendations. | |
| Afraid to buy new speakers When you say they have to be close to the wall, what does that mean? You can't pull them out one foot? They have to be against the wall? No wiggle room at all? | |
| Help with compression and dynamic range IMHO, you'll want a Bluray player for video and audio discs (Oppo is a popular choice). At that point you'll buy the discs of your favorite artists and that's what you will be stuck with. Some will be good and some wont. You wont know until you ge... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers I use a pair of Quicksilver Mini-Monos (25 watt) on my ML Electromotion ESLs. I'm using the subwoofers crossovers to take some of the load off the amps. It plays loud enough for me and it will play loud enough for condo use but it is at the very l... | |
| about Magnepan and power Use control and common sense. Just about any loudspeaker can be damaged by loud volumes. The Maggies can take a beating but everything has limits. If you are deliberately trying to find a weakness I'm sure you can but Maggies are very robust. I'd ... |
