| Static noise from speakers Reubent's advice on isolation of each component is spot-on. If static noise is still prevalent I would suggest swapping your source ie. CD player. I have encountered this intermittent static noise from one channel previously and suspected everythi... | |
| Floorstanding Speakers - 12'x14' Room You mentioned twice there isn't any side wall on the right side since it's an opening to the hallway, and on the other hand you stated the the right speaker is 1.5' from the side wall. So, which is true? If there is no side wall on the right, the ... | |

| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio I have never been able to listen to any bookshelf speakers with woofers less than 5" on their own and always use a subwoofer to fill up the low registers. Yes, a subwoofer will make a huge difference to the overall sound especially if your speaker... | |

| Newbie speaker help for smaller room I have had the Sonus Faber Grand Piano in a 11'x17'x8' room with the speakers along the short wall and didn't find any issues. I think the size of your room is just nice for speakers in that kind of size range. Between the two I would choose Harbe... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective Thanks for the information Nyctc7. I can still associate "warm" with sound as with mellow but cannot really relate "dark" with sound. Dark relates more to sight with the absence of light but anyway now I know the word has the same meaning as warm ... | |
| Thiel 2.4Special Edition or Marten Form/Dukes? I've only listened to the Marten Dukes. As you have known, these are little bookshelf speakers so they won't produce deep visceral bass well compared to floorstanders like the Thiel 2.4SE. They have ceramic tweeters and the treble has a distinctiv... | |

| new Pure Note Alluvion speaker cables 12-25-08: TranslSo far, a bit compressed as compared to Cerulean. I will try to replace the jumpers with copper ones.I own the Cerulean. Great speaker cables. I can just imagine how good the Pure Note higher range stuff would sound. | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective Until today I don't get it when people say "DARK-sounding amps". What does that mean anyway? Does "dark" amps sound any different from "warm" amps? Is there any correlation between dark, warm and shut-in? These adjectives can sometimes be so confu... | |
| Ayre CX-7e or Aging Krell CDP + Benchmark DAC-1? Thanks for the reply Shadorne. I like my current speakers. I would like to add a little bit of clarity, resolution and refinement to the mix and I believe the Benchmark may be the key. I have read good things about the Ayre CX-7e as well so I'm tr... | |
| Sony XA7ES vrs Cambridge 840C and others... I've owned the XA7ES and it's a great player at its price range. However, I've heard replacement parts for the XA7ES are kind of extinct. I would suggest that you forgo this player as once it breaks down the player is as good as dead. | |
| Used MF Trivista 21 or Benchmark Dac1? Is a stock unit of the MF Trivista 21 acceptable on its own? How long can the tubes last before they need to be replaced? How many tubes are there inside the Trivista 21 and are these special tubes? Lastly, will a stock unit of the Trivista 21 add... | |
| SHMCD : Second thought on buying SACD player I have a Pat Metheny "Offramp" SHM-CD ordered from Japan and found no difference in sound quality compared to the ECM CD. |
