| "Fun" Speaker As An Alternative To Revel Salon I I own a pair of Salons and loved the sound but was dissatisfied with the bass, to me it was far from SOTA no matter where I positioned the speakers or what I drove them with. I have since added a pair of JL Fathom 113s to my system and look out! T... | |
| Subwoofer vibration foot isolators???? Any one use Subdudes with the JL Audio Fathom 113s? JL claims their feet preclude the need for any acoustic isolation. I'm also interested in the ASC subwoofer products (I forget their name!),but they recieved great reviews in Stereophile. My subs... | |
| Electrocompaniet CDP So how does the thing sound? How does it compare with other brands? I've been told some good things about this piece. | |
| Mark Levinson No.512 CD Player---Opinions Wow, you would think they could do better than that.Perhaps Levinson should start hiring some of their old engineers.And yes, every manufacturer should burn power cords, interconnects, components, speaker wire, etc. It is a real pain to have to br... | |
| Mark Levinson No.512 CD Player---Opinions I've not heard the 512, but I'd be curious to find out if the one Bar81 is auditioning has been broken in, power cord used, dealer setup, etc. I know from experience Levinson digital doesn't like sharing circuits with other components, and breakin... | |
| Mark Levinson 436 vs. Theta Citadel monoblocks I've really enjoyed owning the 436 amps. They are relaxing, yet detailed, have great grip and control of your speakers, the imaging and soundstage are first rate, and the tone nuetral to a little on the warm side. To no surprise they do run hot, a... | |
| JL Audio Fathom 113 Hi Pass Filter I just recently added a pair of Fathoms to my two channel system. Superb. To do this right, add a high pass filter like the Bryston 10B Sub. You'll be amazed at the performance of your system. | |
| Tweaks that convince others you're truly nuts... Hi,This is a tweek from the legendary Bob Fulton for you analog guys. Tune your turntable mat. Bob used to sell a flexible blue mat that reminded me of sorbathane or some sort of soft, spongy plastic. It had a small notch on one edge. We would als... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame I would nominate Robert Fulton of Fulton Audio. Bob designed/pioneered many products that at the time were considered laughable to many people who viewed his efforts as, "part of the lunatic fringe". For instance Bob's blue turntable mat, that whe... | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System If I download the most current version of ITunes onto my PC, can I SHARE the Apple LossLess files with an IPod Touch and Apple TV through my current Belkin WiFi connection? Will I-Tunes make the PC and Apple TV talk to each other through my Belkin... | |
| Magnepan 7.0 3.5R x 2 pairs vs Tympani Hey Coolkane,Wow what a room you must have. I loved the Tympani 4s! They are an incredible speaker. I'm sure they rival the 20.1s and probably whup them in the bass. I've always wondered why Magnepan has not updated the Tympani line. They are lege... | |
| Magnepan 7.0 3.5R x 2 pairs vs Tympani Sorry its been a while. I believe it was A but you might try experimenting. I believe we had the wing speakers up close to the mains too, but we did experiment with that paramenter also. I believe you'll be intrigued by your results. Have fun and ... | |
| Magnepan 7.0 3.5R x 2 pairs vs Tympani Hi Jeff, While working at a hifi store selling Magnepans we experimented a great deal. You should have seen the crazy setups we used to try out after hours on a Friday night.One of the best setups ever was suggested by Magnepan. This setup did fea... | |

| Apple vs PC for Music System Right now I'm using an XP PC. Can I use it to rip my discs into Apple ITunes lossless, then transfer everything to an Apple TV, connect it via toslink to a Genesis digital lens, then to my Levinson DAC, and finally use my IPod Touch to run everyth... |
