| 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... | |

| 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. | |
| Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics? If it is true, how does it work? If you believe something works then your mind will often trick you into thinking it did something positive.If you can't measure a difference and demonstrate it repeatedly with measurements from independent labs - ... | |
| Best U.S.A. speakers? LOL. Macrojack. The marketing hyperbole is all manufactured in the USA and the assembly of foreign built parts is also done here - that is what counts!!! | |
