| Another AudiogoNer in the NY Times Sorry Vinh. I was typing so fast, it WAS early, I left the g out. Noticed it when I hit submit. I DO know how to spell gingko and gingkoaudio.com | |
| carpet or wood floors for maggies? Fishcall-As long as you don't listen a huge volumes, MMGs do an OK job. Part of my pulling up the carpet is due to a complete redo of the listening room by Rives Audio. I used to use the MMGs as the rear channels in a 5.1 system, but went back to ... | |
| carpet or wood floors for maggies? Funny you should ask. As we speak, I am tearing up the wall to wall in my room, going with the hardwood and an area rug. I have the MMGs that I sometimes swap into the system. My mains are the 3.6Rs. The room is 16 x 22 x 10. | |
| Suggestions, please... How about Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances"? The Mercury recording is available in both mediums. Bach's "Cello Suites" are very nice, as are the "Goldberg Variations", especially Glenn Gould's reading of them. | |
| The Best Audio Dealer My vote would be for Richard Bird of Rives Audio. The room is as much a component, and as big a part of the system, as any other. I am currently working with him on a redesign of my room. He is knowlegable, professional, listens to your needs, and... | |
| How tall are Daruma isolators? Dan,Right you are. I just remeasured at 1 1/4". Great product by the way... | |
| How tall are Daruma isolators? I just measured my Daruma IIIs I think they might be about an eighth-of-an-inch too tall for your installation. Give or take a hair, they are about 1 1/2" tall. | |
| Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Guy Clark Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Lots of new things to explore. | |
| Will low moisture harm a veneered MDF speaker? I have a wood stove in my room as well. I run a humidifier in there 24/7. Keeping the air moist cuts down on static build up, a nasty winter gremlin...I have to fill the two tanks once a day, I have the humidistat set at about halfway, putting 2 g... | |
| how do maggies sound with b&k st-140 amps? For a while, I drove a pair of MGIIIs with an ST140 in a room about your size. If you listen at lower to medium volume levels, you should be fine. Another option would be to look at SMGAs or MMGs. I am putting a system together right now composed ... | |
| Counterpoint 3.1 Preamp question Good choice. I was gonna say: "sell it to me", but the LAST thing I need is another piece of gear in the house. | |
| Counterpoint 3.1 Preamp question I've seen 7s going for 250-300 in good shape, 5s for a little more. I would think that it would cost you as much to get it reconditioned as you could sell it for. Check and see how much it might cost for new controls and jacks first though. Your b... | |
| Counterpoint 3.1 Preamp question If it were me, I would do as much of the recondition myself as I could. The knobs can be removed with an allen wrench, then get some spray contact cleaner in there. Buy the tubes, and replace them, then, think about keeping it. I have a 7.1 pre my... | |
| Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Guy Clark Sbank,I know World Cafe and WXPN (I live in the Phila area), I first got turned on to Hiatt by David Dye.Rich,The "Bring The Family" from my wife's car is a hybrid, so I can listen to the SACD layer on that one. Thanks for the other suggestions!Lo... | |
| Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Guy Clark Reubent, Hiatt brought the house down with a rendition of "crossing muddy water", and had the place howling with an improv of the lyrics in "Wintertime Blues". Thanks for the tip. I did find a copy of "Bring The Family" in my wife's car CD collect... |
