| VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room Go for the SR. You won't regret it. A three way system will outperform your Forests significantly and you have the space for the SR. If you prefer an option closer to home, I believe Bryston (Toronto), which sells active PMC's (UK Speaker), is def... | |
| Tweeter quest Sounds risky to me...you are messing with a very high quality and well respected speaker which may be worthless after all your modifications....Since you are a beginner at this, my suggestion would be to get a speaker kit from someone like Wilmslo... | |
| Tweeter quest This is only a suggestion. If you make a non-factory mod to the baffle on your PMC's then they will be much harder to move on the resale market. Seeing you are unhappy with the PMC's why not look to sell them and trade up? | |
| Can a component after complete breaking reverse ? Yes it can reverse and finding the optimum amount of break-in requires careful and constant calibration. This is easy to do;1) Play break-in sweeps in upwards direction only until you achive the desired level of break-in and sound2) If you find it... | |
| HOUSEBOAT SYSTEM Probably the most famous audiophile houseboat:http://www.davidgilmour.com/gallery/gallery3/04.htmhttp://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/gallery/v/DavidGilmourPhotos/AstoriaHouseboatRecordingStudio/aac.jpg.html | |
| Using a 220v amplification equipment in the US Not worth the trouble IMHO. The extra transformer required and electrical work. It will sound just the same (as it should do). (My stuff did when moved from 220 v to 110 V) | |
| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? You sound like a collector rather than a user. IMHO go for it! You will get much more fun from a turntable - there is more to play with and all the bits that do the work are externally visible and which you can proudly operate.I know people who do... | |
| Job of Producer versus Recording Engineer Producer is in charge of the full chain for making the final product and the budget - he or she is contracted by the recorded label or artist. He of she subcontracts the people involved to record and master the music. Producers often have people t... | |
| why can't I make a digital recording of a DVD? Tvad,I understand how you feel. This is largely the position of the execs at Sony and other major labels. However, as a user, I am frustrated that I bought and own half of Disney's entire collection in VHS, some in PAL and some in NTSC and that I ... | |
| Anyone heard PMC's IB1? If you have not experienced a dome mid range then be prepared for a surprise. These can go very loud without mid range compression. Effortless sounding and very articulate. Definitely worth auditioning. Telarc (Cleveland USA) bought some PMC's a f... | |
| Speakers that sound good in tight spots? Most speakers do not like to be placed up against a rear wall. Bass radiates in all directions (front port, rear port or no port still radiate in all directions). These setups give quarter wavelength cancellations (comb filtering) from the rear wa... | |
| Are the Audio Physic Virgo II's ageing well? I know a friend who has a third hand pair of Virgo IIs - very happy with them. Great image. Don't push them too hard - thats all. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Ojgalli,There is a lot of science behind the claims made on the links you quoted. The problem is that science is not always trusted and fear of missing out on a potential performance improvement continues to drive people to try things.Another thin... | |
| Transformer noise including Powervar DC offset seems to be a big problem for tranformers especially when driven to saturation. If possible, the best is to unplug the offending device that is feeding DC offset back to the mains (AC or DC motor or another power supply like a chopper po... | |
| member system photos??? Good point. Given the long proven benefits of soffit mounting for speakers and the prevalence of this format at the professional high end, it is astonishing to see audiophiles, spend huge $$$ on all nature of tweaks, whilst ignoring a fundamental ... |
