| Musical subwoofer for under 1K i'd suggest getting a pair, if mainly for music - *every* aspect of subwoofing improves, & *every* possible negative re: integrating w/your main speakers is minimized, when using *two* subs, imho...i'd suggest, based upon your room size, a pai... | |
| Another 2,000 Speaker Question undertaker, while i really like the martin logan cls (tho they don't go loud enuff for me on many types of music i listen to), except for m-l's top-line models, i've never cared for their hybrids - but, ymmv.re: not using a preamp, my experience i... | |
| Inner Sound Eros Experiences i spoke w/the company, & they readily admitted that these have a *wery* small sweet-spot, that's all i know about 'em. i'm saving for a pair of newform research nhb645's or r645's - check out the owner feedback on audioreview... | |
| Another 2,000 Speaker Question a good compromise re: tubes vs solid-state, both for sonics, mainytenance, & ability to drive difficult speakers, would be to go w/a tubed preamp & a solid-state amp. many (myself included) are wery happy w/this arrangement.re: speakers, i... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE vs. Thiel CS3.6? hi pops, nah, ya don't *need* subs w/the 3.6's, yust, imo, i'd rather have *that* set-up than a pair of 7's. when i had my thiel 3.5's in my main system, (due to electronic equalization, these are actually flat to 20hz), they were definitely impro... | |
| Rogue 66 vs Rogue 99 1439bhr, yure correct, only an order-of-magnitude estimate is possible. as i was told by the designer, but he suggested this was a good place to start. however, the cary, rated at 850 ohms output impedence, was at least an order of magnitude bette... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE vs. Thiel CS3.6? i've never been fond of vandy's, always liked the thiels - for pretty much the reasons already stated above. so, if it were me, it's a no-brainer decision. however, if *you* really like those vandy's, i'd make sure ya had an opportunity to auditio... | |
| Soundstage - Too much? perfectimage, while ewe may be right that *some* speaker mfr's try to recreate the pre-recorded soundstage by purposely using reflection-points, i think that the vast majority of speaker mfr's try to voice their speakers *without* using reflection... | |
| Traded the Most ? definitely preamps for me - i got a preamp bug last may - 1st got a linn kairn w/the latest *slimline* brilliant p/s to replace my older linn w/brilliant p/s. this lasted a couple months, til i got a hot-rod rogue 99. this lasted a couple weeks, t... | |
| Are Homegrown Interconnects shielded?? outlier, if your bryston equipment lets ya run in true balanced configuration, what ya may be comparing, is the sound of balanced vs single-ended connections, not kcag vs homegrown... ya need to compare aples-to-apples, imho...regards, doug | |
| Grace Tone arm i have a perfect-condition grace 727 that i pulled off of the oracle i bought a while back, if yure interested... make me an offer! :>) | |
| Benz Series 2 advice for an Oracle! sgh, in your *other* thread regarding this, ewe say: "it's impossible for me to audition different cartridges...". i was in the same boat, so what i did was try to get as much info on cartridges as possible, and narrow my choices down that way. as... | |
| Rogue 66 vs Rogue 99 dave, what's the length of yer interconnects? i tink this may have been a problem i faced w/my set-up. and, i *know* when i have good bass - w/a pair of vmps larger subs x'd over at 60hz, each driven by 900 watts, i get bass... ;~) and, interestin... | |
| Wha'choo lookin' at? hey david, can't see the toobs in that rogue 99 preamp, eh? well, that's another reason to get a cary slp98, besides better sonics! ;~) the cary is a bee-yoo-tiful preamp, w/those babies out in the open for all to see. if only it sounded as nice a... | |
| Traded the Most ? hey rigby, give metaphysics a jingle, he mite be innerested in one-o-your cartridges. (see his *help completing winyl front-end* thread in the analog section). guys like ewe are one of the reasons it's sometimes ok to buy used cartridges! ;~) |
