| Upgrade amp. or speakers first? Always pick speakers first than find the right amp to drive them. Speakers are the voice of a system. They pretty much dictate how your system will sound. | |
| Vandersteen 5? If you did buy them, the first thing you should do is to replace all the batteries. There are three inside each speaker and one inside the M5-HP, all 9 volts. Don't just take the seller's words for it unless he has prove that batteries are still f... | |
| Good DIY suggestions? http://www.hagtech.com/ | |
| Speaker grills? I listen with the grills on because the designer of the speaker, Richard Vandersteen, told me not to take them off. You should ask the manufacturer which way is preferred in your particular case.Many dealers like to take the grills off mainly beca... | |
| One Less Bose Wave Radio in the World We can't assume everyone is an audiophile. Non audiophile most likely has a different priority than we do in terms of audio equipment. There is nothing wrong with the Bose wave radio. My uncle has one and he enjoys it very much. | |
| McIntosh with Aerial speakers Your question is very specific and I have not heard a Mac driving Aerial. But I have heard quite a few cases that Mac sounded soft when matched to wrong speakers. So at this level, I think you better audition it yourself before making a decision.B... | |
| Power cable for quiet background May I have a suggestion? A power cord that gives a quieter background means it has superior shielding against electrical interference. So why don't you contact a few cable manufacturers and ask them to provide you with the design spec and the test... | |
| Do power cords make an audible difference? @Photon46, I was not pulling your leg. A friend of mine told me that if I could not hear the difference of a power cord he loaned me, my system could not be high end. Maybe he was right. I didn't hear any difference. | |
| Do power cords make an audible difference? In my case, no. I don't hear any difference at all but some people think my system is mid-fi at best so it is possible that my system isn't resolve enough to show the difference or my old ears aren't sharp enough to hear it. Well, it is probably b... | |
| How to use Ipad for best sound FLAC is a lossless compressed format. You should convert them to Apple Lossless Audio File for best result. If you don't have tools to do that, than convert them to AIFF first and than convert AIFF to Apple Lossless in iTunes. You can also play AI... | |
| Under $1,000 Cartridge for Aries 2 Extended FYI, a good place to buy DL-103R is amazon.com. One of its sellers, Yogi Computers, is selling it for $260 with free shipping. I bought one from it a few months ago. Highly recommended. | |
| Under $1,000 Cartridge for Aries 2 Extended Large soundstage, warmth, and vibrant, and under $1,000; I don't think you can find one better than the Denon DL-103(R) that you are using. Other more expensive carts will give you different sounds but they may not be "better", IMHO. | |
| Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's? I didn't know the Creedence was D2D. I should check it out. | |
| Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's? Mitch, Vinyl, even at 45rpm, still has much higher distortion and less dynamic range than reel-to-reel. Believe it or not, back in the 70s' and 80s', vinyl was considered to be an inferior media. It was better than cassette and 8-tracks but reel-t... |
