| Whats on your turntable tonight? Glen: I'm sorry, what we're you saying... or was I just imagining that you were in my head speaking to me????Scott | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Kehut: another interesting coincidence. I bought the same Baez LP about a month ago, and will be attending a Joan Baez concert here in Seattle tomorrow night. Talk about a trip back to my college days in the early 60's... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Interesting you should ask. I just got a copy yesterday of Classic Records 200 gram LP re-issue of Duke Ellington's "Blues In Orbit". I used to own a copy of this great LP, but a friend left it next to a heater and it got severely warped, and I've... | |
| Rel vs. Vandersteen vs Audio Physic subwoofers I have not heard the Audio Physics Luna subs, but have heard the REL's a number of times, and own a pair of Vandy 2Wq's. I think that the REL and Vandy subs both do a fine job. I have a personal preference for the Vandy 2Wq's when reproducing musi... | |
| One big subwoofer or two weaker subwoofers? Sugarbrie's first paragraph makes an important about quality. Cheap subwoofers are worse than none, as a rule, since they tend to degrade the sound from the main speakers.When it comes to subwoofer design, however, one large powerful subwoofer isn... | |
| I could use some jazz mentoring. Many of Bill Evans piano recordings have a quiet, ethereal quality to them. One of my personal favorites is a recording the Evans did with Jim Hall around 1963 titled "Undercurrent", which has been re-released on CD. If you like "Kind of Blue", th... | |
| Bryston 5BST and Maggies MG12 The Bryston 5B-ST has an actual power output of about 150 wpc (about 30 wpc higher than the rated output), which should be enough to adequately drive the Maggies, PROVIDED they are in a small to medium sized room, and you don't try to drive them t... | |
| What power cord would you recommend? I know before I even make this post that the following comments are going to irritate some of our readers. PMP, you asked an honest question, and what I am about to write is NOT intended to offend you, or anyone else, personally.The whole subject ... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendation FYI: the 3A Sig's have the same "footprint" as the 2Ce's. Both speakers are 16" wide by 10" deep -- the only difference is the height. The 3A Sig's are 48" tall, about 8" taller than the 2Ce's. While the 3A Sig's do take up more "airspace" and thu... | |
| VT-100 MKII sonics but need more power It's been a while since I verified the power rating of the VT-100, so I trust that it is 100 wpc (as the name suggests). If that's correct, then you need to amend your thinking about moving from 100 wpc to 150 wpc, because that is only a 1.5 dB in... | |
| Best performing cartridge under $500.00? Among cartridges costing less than $500 (MSRP), there are only two that I personally recommend:1. The Grado Sonata;2. The Shure V15VxMR.Both cartridges have relatively "warm" yet detailed sound with good soundstaging. The one "downside" to the Gra... | |
| Does unequal speaker wire length matter? Not every speaker cable manufacturer states that each leg of the cable be the same length. Alpha-Core states on its web site that their Goertz speaker cable does not have to be of equal length on each leg. My own personal experience has been that ... | |
| What is there to gain About two years ago, I started a thread here after I installed the Heavyweight Counterweight on my Rega RB-900 (with VPI HW-19 Mk 4 turntable), and my commments were basically the same as Buscis2's. I have been an audiophile for about 40 years, an... | |
| Album cd or LP with best bass for new subwoofer Any GOOD recording of a large pipe organ will definitely wring out your new subwoofer. The pipe organ produces the lowest recorded frequencies on CD or LP (down to 16 Hz), and good recordings of the pipe organ will provide a prodigious test of a s... | |
| Home Setup DVD I have not had the chance to use the new "Digital Video Essentials", which I understand is an improvement over the original "Video Essentials" disk. I have both the original "Video Essentials" disk, and the AVIA Home Theater setup disk, and each h... |
