| Headphones+Quad 606 Have you looked at a headphone preamp, like the Creek OBH-11 ? (This would connect in the tape loop of your pre-amp - would be even better if you have a spare tape loop). I think it's about $200 .. a lot cheaper than changing your Quad setup.I hav... | |
| making our own custom cables/interconnects ... I just made a few sets of interconnects which cost me $30USD each. I ordered cable from maplin (UK electronics supplier). The cable is coded RG214 at www.maplin.co.uk.You can probably find the same in the US. It's MIL c-17 spec silver plated coppe... | |
| "Pictures From Exhibition" best recording? I can't help you directly, but have you tried the Penguin Guide ? I have always found it to be a very helpful guide, whether you're looking for performance quality, recording quality, or both.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/014051497X/qid=1... | |
| Newbie question.. Preamp and Sub I'd have to second argent. I listen only to 2 channel music, from chamber classical through to AC/DC, depending on mood. I bought a Rel strata 3 and it's wonderful. No boom, just depth, and impossible to hear where it takes over from the mains. I ... | |
| Which speakers would be a good upgrade in a small Hi Daveyf,What's the purpose of the upgrade ? Is it to add the base that you mentioned is lacking, or to improve the imaging ? My listening room is about 10x12, maybe a little smaller, and I recently added a Rel strata 3 to my spica angelus (the s... | |
| Cables that make no sense... Perhaps you misunderstood me. I would never state that cables do not make a difference when I have clearly heard that they make a major difference.However I have found that their difference only justifies about 10% of the system cost being spent o... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? Pcanis .... sorry myself to have got you wrong. Hopefully no offense caused.Anyway your thought that Lenny Kravitz was merely copying older 70s music is quite close to the mark. He is ! However I still think this album has some enjoyable tunes and... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control I had the same problem with my densen-spica angelus setup (some recordings sound very thin to the point where I avoid listening despite liking the music). I ended up with a Rel strata subwoofer. This has worked really well for me : the good record... | |
| Cables that make no sense... Any cable which costs more (or equivalent to) the cost of the main components. I have seen postings with people asking for details on cables which cost as much as their amps or speakers. Whilst cables do make a big difference I think that they sho... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? pcanis .... dismissing the SUBJECTIVE opinion of others serves no purpose. Music (and equipment) is either to your liking or not to your liking. Let's try to keep all postings positive. For example I have never liked Genesis, Pink Floyd, or the Be... | |

| Does anyone know what happened to Heybrook ? Thanks Grandpad ... I will do that, but I'll wait another week in case I get some more posts here. If Heybrook is no longer I think I'll roll my sleeves up and look for other ribbons. I like a challenge. | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? Come on guys .... none of it is tedious REALLY is it ? We may complain about finding optimal speaker placment or routing wires around the room so as not to trip the spouse, but really we love it ... that's why we do it. So let's not pretend that w... | |
| speakers for creek 5350se? What are your desires in the upgrade ? Bottom end or transparency / resolution ? In my experience going for transparency / resolution AND great depth/bottom end in a single package means big $$$$. That's why I recently added a REL strata sub to my... | |
| Need troubleshooting help go easy on me... Newbie Already some good responses. Whenever I have had a problem which is different in the L-R channels I start at the source (in this case the Rega) and swap the two channels, and see if the problem reverses at the speaker. If not then I put the connec... |
