| Paradigm vs Dali vs PMC With regard to Dali, they have dual tweeter - soft dome for the lower high's and ribbon for the range above that, SO perhaps that solves the distortion issue. It most certainly would - it might explain why they went with that design approach. | |
| Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics? With improved cleaners, as for the painting of the outer edge, I found little benefit, which again suggests that it is not disc wobble. That would make it harder to explain. The reflections then would need to be enough for the CD player to resort... | |
| High power amplifier and small speakers?? As a general rule could one say that sound quality is diminished by using a powerful amplifier (150 w/ch into 8ohms) with small speakers (high sensitivity)? No you can't generalize - this NOT a general rule. A powerful amp can be good. A low powe... | |
| best of both worlds can u get a musical multi amp? There is no reason it can't sound as good. This is just another "audio myth".Sure a multichannel integrated with 5 channels that costs the same as a monoblock single channel power amp is quite unlikley to out perform the power amplification prowes... | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player Here is a guy who gets booed every game. We love to hate our bullies. | |
| Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics? I'll tell ya what does make a difference: trueing the runout of CDs via an Audiodesk lathe. There may be an explanation for this - power to adjust the laser tracking will be sinusoidal/periodic if the CD wobbles and the laser is constantly readju... | |
| Best Power amps in $7000 range I'm using Usher cp-6371's in an approx. 550sq/ft rectangular room What with 7" woofers and you want a 400 watt amp to drive them?I'd upgrade speakers first before getting such a high powered beast - more mileage to be had there IMHO....just two c... | |
| Has anyone had success converting friends? Since getting large three ways I have the opposite experience. People always ask - generally the reaction is OMG that sounds so real - especially drums. I admit I rarely get the "jaw dropped on the floor reaction" at modest music levels. Lets face... | |
| What do you do with all those CD's?? Has anyone found a good solution? I use four Sony CD megachangers and feed the optical to a DSP. All controlled from the listening position. I've used this setup for a number of years but I'd recommend you rip them and go straight a PC - DAC solu... | |
| Best bookshelf monitor under $1000 new or used. Check out NHT M-00 and S-00 for $749 new - they come with built-in amplifiers. | |
| Paradigm vs Dali vs PMC Well then the FB1+ will probably knock your socks off withits bass response. For pure accuracy and ease of placement the Paradigm are probably the best choice - they have an extremely even response. You can see they have a waveguide on the tweeter... | |
| Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics? An audiophile sits in his basement day after day, carefully coloring the edges of his entire CD collection with a dark green olive marker.One day his wife comes down, "What you doin' that for - does it sound better?" she asks."Nah, sound has nothi... | |
| Best Power amps in $7000 range The Classe seems to have some kind of static sound that crops up occasionally. In that case, you might open it up and see if anything is loose (ground wires). One thing you can try is to twiddle the pots on tuning potentiometers....over time the c... | |
| Best Power amps in $7000 range If it ain't broke....then why fix it? What speakers are you driving? 400 watts might be overkill for most typical 6" woofer type domestic speakers. Unless you are driving big pro type woofers (large 4" voice coils) much of that "extra" amplifier p... | |
| Bookshelf speakers and amp recommendations I fully agree with Bob,The NHT M-00 and S-00 can be found for $749 - great bargain and will compete with most hi-fi's. |
