| CDP home shootout Rotel vs. Arcam vs. Marantz I would expect the arcam to win. I have a 67se and it's just too warm and fuzzy sounding. Let us know which prevails. | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Twl ... Americans consider politicians to be criminals in suits ? That's not what I see. From what I see the american people are being completely hoodwinked by a powerful political / industrial / media complex that is creating a powerful class sys... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Lugnut I am a British citizen who has been living in California for 5 years. I'm moving back to the UK next year, and may go to live in mainland europe shortly thereafter. I prefer the european quality of life, but each to his/her own. | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" I'm with Ben, and could not have put the arguments better. Slipknot also raises a good point. The US has become a nation of people with wide ranging rights, but apparently no responsibilities. The Bush administration demonstrates this on an intern... | |
| why do power cords make a difference with transpor My guess is that it is not that the transport benefits from the better power supply, but that the other components benefit from a reduced amount of noise injected back into the power supply by the transport. The key is isolating the power supply o... | |
| What is the best speaker for a small room 10X11 Without knowing anything about your current speakers (other than they have a good reputation) I'm going to suggest that you try different room placements before assuming they won't work. I am in the same situation .. small room, but no WAF to worr... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. At the risk of sounding out of touch, what is the panel's opinion on Vladimir Ashkenazy's recordings on Decca ? The recording is not perfect (early digital), but I really like his flair. Am I missing something ? I'm no classical buff, but it sound... | |
| What's simplest effective record cleaning process I have found that the allsop orbitrac 2 works wonders on my records that are beyond a simple dry brushing. Costs $40, takes about 5 mins per LP, once a year or so. I was VERY skeptical that something so cheap and easy would work but the results we... | |
| Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers? Oh dear, another audiogon thread meanders hopelessly off topic ....Here's another suggestion for an over-bright system.1) Buy a CD walkman and some high-sensitivity headphones.2) Listen to Metallica VERY LOUD for several months, for at least sever... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? I have Spica angelus speakers with a REL strata. The amp, crossover, and subwoofer is all one box. Total cost $500 for the Spicas and $850 for the REL. I don't think I could beat the sound (imaging and bass depth) for $1300.I think our differing o... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Socrates .. I disagree with some of your suggestions:1) If speakers are rated to 35Hz, and you cross below 30Hz (it is usually recommended to leave the main speakers unfiltered, and cross below their cutoff frequency ala REL, ACI) then this will h... | |
| Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers? If you're inclined to spend lots of money I'm sure Nordost could make some audiophile socks. I used to think socks are just socks, but then I discovered cryogenically treated pure silver socks, and after a month of burn in the sound ...... etc etc. | |
| How to upgrade my Rega Planet based system I third the recommendation for a sub. A REL, Rega (which is designed and made by REL for Rega), or ACI sub would be the first choices.If you like the upper octaves of your system why risk changing them ? Also these subs will take you down to 20Hz ... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Stehno is absolutely right. The cone size is not important. Since your current main speakers go to 35Hz you'll need a sub that can crossover below this level (unless you filter the signal going to the main speakers).My main speakers go to around 3... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Thanks Twl. Perhaps my system or ears are not sufficiently sensitive to hear difference ... I fully accept that this is a possibility.You know, there's one post above that raises a question that has been on my mind regarding this issue .... "why d... |
