| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? The main advantage is better signal to noise ratio and secondarily, better frequency response (because the groove wiggles are stretched over a longer length of groove.) I'll also add "better dynamic range"...those 12" 45 RPM records were simply a... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? Some sell by word of mouth and less through reviews.Do Green Mountain buy lots of advertising space in the audio magazines? If not then they are less likely to be reviewed.Ford trucks get big advertising in North America, but demanding customers t... | |
| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp As you can see, there is no answer! hahaha Nobody yet refuted my wisdom. By concentrating on high $$$$ quality cables, one can make any amp and speaker combination sound fantastic. If the amp is weak then simply raise the amp up slightly so that ... | |

| Subwoofer w/ most SPL's For Music Only System how much detail is in deep bass a bass horn will let you hear this In terms of power, the horn design is very efficient but you will lose some details from transients and the same can be said for ported designs or passive radiators that boost LF ... | |
| what do you put under your sub? In my previous post, I made the assumption that the sub cabinet does not resonate in the frequency range you are using it for....if you have a cabinet that resonates (side walls waffle) then you have serious problems...coupling to something massiv... | |
| what do you put under your sub? Jaff2290You won't need spikes....I doubt the concrete will interact much with your sub except to reflect energy...carpet and under carpet will provide damping to reduce any chance of rattle .....so why mess with it.If it sounds muddy you may have ... | |
| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp Neither is important if you have high $$$ cables between them ;-) | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Tomryan,FWIW, have you considered the possibility that the high output impedance of your tube amp might be factor in how different cables sound when coupled to a speaker of varying impedance?When impedances are quite close the combination will ten... | |
| Subwoofer w/ most SPL's For Music Only System Of the subs you mention, only the Velodyne HGS 15 will be of excellent musical quality (around 1% THD). The other two are more for movies, the Earthquake has a passive radiator and is almost certain to have 20% harmonic distortion at the lowest fr... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? I'm driving $1,400.00 monitor speakers with $11,000.00 worth of amp/pre-amp. Oh yeah, and $3,450.00 in wires. Tomryan,FWIW, IMHO, Assuming that you already have a great amp/pre-amp and source (at that price it most certainly better be good).....t... | |
| Censored by Apple: Front Row Critique I have a wireless card in my mac mini. You can send your tracks from Itunes to an Airport Express connected to your audio system from wherever you sit....just move you Mac to a side table near where you sit...Remotes for selecting/manipulating mus... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Reubent,Thx for the update. Wow, that is a lot of change in just over a year. How much longer will you stick with the current setup - or have you found Audio Nirvanna? | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Here is the price breakdown (all purchased used) of my current system:CD player $1000Amp $600Speakers $400Your System list prices indicate that your speaker is roughly half the new cost of the equipment...a balanced investment, IMHO. Great that t... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Cutting to the chase here, in my opinion speakers make the most difference. Could not agree more with this statement. $2K on speakers and more than $10K on amps, source, interconnects & speaker cables is a typical but much misguided approach ... |
