| Power Conditioner - balanced power hookup? Jaytor, I can't answer all your questions, but I will let you know that I recently purchased a Balanced Power Technology BPT-2 (2000 watt) conditioner from member dealer Underwoodwally and it has made an amazing improvement in my system. I am not ... | |
| multi channel amp question. Hi Bill, I have been using the Act 3 with an Acurus 125 x 5 for about 2 years and it sounds great! I don't have efficient speakers at all, ATC SCM12 monitors at about 87 dB plus an ATC sub. I recently sold the Act 3 and bought a used Soundstage. F... | |
| Great Rock & Roll speakers? I was at my friend's for dinner last night, and his mid-80's vintage Polk SDA-1A's sounded incredible! I had just gotten him to buy some custom made Sound Anchors stands for them and the bass became so much more focused and tuneful. The rest of th... | |
| ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray? Another superb-sounding set of monitors you might consider as you're auditioning are the ProAc 1SC's. There are usually a couple of pairs for sale used here, for around $1300. I have those monitors too, and they sound fantastic on the ARC CA-50 tu... | |
| ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray? I have the SCM12's and they lost their dynamics and punch when I used them with my 45-watt ARC tube integrated. Instead, I use them as fronts in my small HT system in the bedroom, with an Acurus 125 x 5, and they are FANTASTIC! I think they need a... | |
| What is the Best Speaker thats no bigger than 14 The ATC SCM-12 monitors will fit on your shelves/stand and can butt right up next to a rear wall if necessary. They are somewhat inefficient (86 db) but your 140 watts should be OK. I have them as front speakers with my Acurus 125 x 5 and they mak... | |
| Help tame my Ekos I had the Akito and van den Hul MC-One Special, and now have the Ekos and Archiv, and on none of these set-ups did I hear anything bright or overly dynamic. Did a dealer mount your Ekos and Adikt? The tonearm has to be removed from the table to do... | |
| Bose Sattelite VS. B&W LM1's I have the LM-1's and they are incredible! I was playing a DVD surround sound music disc and sitting near the LM-1's--their resolution, detail and musicality were the equal of the front speakers, ATC SCM-12 monitors. Very dynamic and detailed with... | |
| Review: Balanced Audio VK-31SE Tube preamp Hi, very informative review. I have the VK30SE and was wondering: what changes are made to the VK31SE? Different tubes or what? | |
| How should I handle this? Viridian's advice is right on: calmly contact the dealer and explain what you've learned and request a full refund with return shipping costs. Don't get sarcastic or accusatory. If dealer refuses that solution, request he pay for shipment to distr... | |
| 'Last CD Player' search I don't think the Cary 308T is $4000--more like $2500 new I believe. The 306/200 is $5000, used for around $3000. I would choose a one box player if I were in your shoes. Any of those you are considering are excellent. If you buy used, you can sav... | |
| A new ploy for fraud? This sounds like the guy from Nigeria who has $1 million in a US bank account and needs your help getting it wired to him . . . I have received this email about 7 times. I think I read about it in Newsweek last year too. | |
| Extreme Phono None-Felt Mat Residue I have the mat and have not had any residue on my LPs. How long are you leaving them on the platter? I would just take them off and return them to their sleeves after playing. I don't leave my CDs in the drawer for days either. What kind of residu... | |
| what's the best "mini monior" these days I have the ATC SCM12's and can't believe how good they are. However, you can't use tube amps with them unless you have high power available. They need at least 100 watts. They are amazingly dynamic and detailed. | |
| Review: Star Sound Technology Sistrum SP-4 Audio Rack Stand Hi, in answer to the question about placing a turntable on the top shelf (points, actually) of the Sistrum rack, I do just that with my Linn LP-12. Complete isolation from footfalls, both human and dog. Plus all the improvement in sound that the r... |
