| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? You can't let the riff raff in! What would the real customers think. :0Luckily I have not had anyone turn me away yet. I would be very pissed if it happened though. | |
| Affordable SS amp that has tube characteristics I used a Parasound Halo A21 on a set of Aerial model 9's in the past with nice results. A pair of Parasound Halo JC-1's would be even nicer but will put off more heat which you are trying to avoid. The A21 is under your budget new. The JC-1's are ... | |
| What is the "correct" VTA for the Lyra Atlas? If the top end disappeared then I think it's safe to say you have the VTA too low. ;) Use your ears and determine what the best sound for you is. Same with VTF. If you are more comfortable with a more accurate scale then try the Cartridge Man Digi... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? If you own the house and your wife does not mind you would be better off building a room within that room. You certainly have enough space. | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? If you want something that will actually fill that large a room I would suggest something like the Classic Audio Reproductions T-1. I've heard them at RMAF in a very large room and they worked well.They are very efficient and should work well with... | |
| Magico S5 review 11-29-12: EbmWhy are so many people selling Q3&Q5 already?Maybe because they don't have a nuclear reactor to drive them? | |
| Turntable arm wobbly? Setup advise It's fairly easy to tell if the spindle hole is off center. If the blank grooves in between tracks appear to move back and forth as the record spins then it's off center. The tonearm has to follow this movement and will appear to move back and for... | |
| Turntable arm wobbly? Setup advise Sounds like an off center spindle hole in that record. Try some other records. If it's not the record then you might have a compliance mismatch causing the arm to oscillate. If that is the case then moving the TT support and/or trying different ma... | |
| SMC VRE-1b vs. VRE-1c I've heard the VRE-1c at my local audio club(PNWAS). Hard to isolate it's sound as it was not the only change to the system but the overall sound was great. It didn't seem to be adding a sound of it's own. One of the best sounding meetings we have... | |
| big screen - two channel system enough for dialog? A center channel is not necessary IMO. If your speakers image well and you sit in the sweet spot they will work just fine. If you don't sit in the sweet spot the voices will not come from the right spot though. | |
| Why does better power = better sound? IME the more resolving the system the more noticeable any change will be. For kicks I tried some tweaks that I was using on my main system on my modest TV system and could not hear a difference. I thought that I would hear a difference but did not... | |
| Any Tannoy dealer in Seattle or Bellevue WA A couple of years ago Hawthourne had new Tannoy Glenair speakers on display but I have not seen any others there since. They may be able to order them still though. | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? The mechanism is hidden in the base. The pics will not make it clear how it works. A video would be better. There are two horizontal pivots in the base that articulate. There is also a guide rail hidden in the base that guides the arm in a straigh... | |
