| MBL alternatives Soundlabs.Love them but don't have the room (size) for them... OK - then try to audition ATC SCM50ASL - Gordon Holt had sound labs for ages (and loved them too) - apparently ATC are his current favorites - as you know he has probably heard more s... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? Blindjim,"scantily clad girls" and a "pool table" - it is quite obvious where your subconscious is going with this...You don't sound like a typical audiophile - so you probably aren't "nuts"! ;-) | |
| best artists in the last 15 years Bongofury,You are talking mostly mainstay classics that should be in everyone's collection - I completely agree with your selection - however these are not the "newest up and coming artists..." | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Shadorne, why can't you just measure them in place at the shoulders without removing them? I didn't think it would throw it off that much. You can probably do that on the woofer. However, generally the resistor(s) on the tweeter may be in paralle... | |
| New B&W B&W make speakers with a style/flare for everyone - each model sounds slightly different - although I'd agree they all tend slightly toward having a polite scooped mid and a forward tweeter (off-axis of course as, like most speakers, they are ... | |
| Bryston amps Bridged3B's or 4B? I have not compared but it is generally better to get a purpose built bigger amp than bridge. If you bridge then each amp sees half the load which can mean excessive current demand for the all too common low impedance speakers sold today. Another ... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? car wash & detail immediately adjacent (and run strickly by great looking and scantily clad gals That will scare all the audiophiles customers away! Are you crazy?You need a dingy, poky place, cluttered with vinyl and CD's and gear strewn abo... | |
| Should repaired equipment be stated in the ad?? Buying something that is still supported by the manufacturer seems a sensible precaution when buying high priced second hand audio items, IMHO. Otherwise, I'd suggest to go for "bargains" only and accept that there is a high degree of risk - espec... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values First mark them carefully - so you know exactly where they are mounted. Then take them out (solder gun and sucker tool) and simply measure them with a multimeter. You may need to buy several resistors to find something that is very close. Normally... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. Shadorne, there are many audiophiles, even some with credibility, who claim that copies of CDs actually sound better than the originals. How can this be? Another explanation might be that some users CD playback equipment might simply be faulty - ... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. Shadorne, there are many audiophiles, even some with credibility, who claim that copies of CDs actually sound better than the originals. How can this be? If I trust in science then I can only assume it is mostly the placebo effect. In some rare c... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. I suggest you read up on error correcting encoding.Yes it is based on Reed-Solomon Interleave.However, contrary to what Eldartford mentions, if the error correction fails (a really badly damaged CD) then most players will "interpolate" between da... | |
| best artists in the last 15 years Rebelution from Santa Barbara these guys really groove. | |
| Brain Teaser: Biamp or biwire w/limited rack space The OMD-15s are 91dB sensitive, which means that the Amber Series 70 amp should power them cleanly to 110dB and peaks to maybe 113. 110 db spl clean from a 5.5" woofer is rather a lot (assuming you sit 6 feet back) - are these pro type drivers an... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. I am about 1/3 to 1/2 way thru a bottle and I have done maybe 60 Cd's. The bottle will never do the 500 CD's as claimed. Wow but that is amazingly good. I would not complain.Tonight, I am 1/3 to 1/2 way through a $40 bottle of wine and it is mere... |
