| Uninvited radio station interference I previously had the same problem. I suspect your unshielded speaker cable is the prime culprit. Sometimes changing the placement of your equipment can make a difference as well. | |
| Your listening chair For a real cheap and comfortable alternative check out the LaFuma recliners. | |
| Marantz SA8260 I found the 8260 a nice enough player playing primarily redbood cd. Musical and warm, but not the most resolution and detail. Now, as to whether you can do better at that price point, hard to say. If you are going to purchase the 8260 I would be v... | |
| Merlin owners, AC or battery for BAM? Thanks everyone. I just got off the phone to Bobby and it appears I have some synergy issues, also I do have the newer 200mah batteries. I will make some cable changes per Bobby's recommendations, and possibly go to the Joule Electra LA 150. As th... | |
| Merlin owners, AC or battery for BAM? Dgarretson, I noticed you have greatly modified your BBAM, it is likely you have increased dynamics and drive with that setup. My NEW DCA 66 uses similar batteries (4) which I'm sure help to maintain current for added drive and dynamics. I am gues... | |
| Merlin owners, AC or battery for BAM? I purchased them used, speakers were manufactured in early 05. I don't think it is a weak battery problem as I've never run out of battery power even over many hours of playing. Also, the sound has remained consistent used in battery mode over tho... | |
| Tweeters, Scanspeak or Seas The kid makes a good point in that drivers alone don't make a speaker. I've had the H420, Hll89, the alon alnico and the millenium tweeters (all are SEAS models) all here at one time or another. The millenium is one nice tweeter, I thought of it a... | |
| Is AES/EBU digital cable/connection all that? Very dependent upon transport/DAC combination. I've had both terminations work best in different setups. In my experience AES/EBU cables have a little more air and/or warmth in mids and bass, this added air/warmth has been problematic in one setup... | |
| Gene Pitney RIP Town Without Pity and It Hurts To Be In Love. Brings back memories of Top 40 Hits on CKLW out of Windsor Ontario, one great station back in the day. | |
| Which is more important, spkr. or intrc. cable? In my experience speaker cable and IC from source to pre are pretty much equal in importance. I think perhaps the IC beats the speaker for detail/resolution, and the speaker beats the IC as a tone control. | |
| Alon I woofer cone replacement Alon is now Nola, contact Carl directly. Price may shock you, and that woofer may no longer be available. You may have to purchase a used one, what I had to do for some Alon II's. | |
| Stupid Bellari Q The tube in my Bellari glows, it can be seen even in daylight. The bias in your unit could be set wrong, or perhaps the filaments in your tube are different than mine. | |
| What to buy with $2000? Another vote for the Joule LA 100 Mk. III. They also hold their value very well, indicative of a well regarded piece. | |
| Is anyone willing to entertain the idea Reality is only one person's opinion and/or perception, those who claim to know objective reality are perceptually delusional. You absolutely cannot know what another person hears while listening to their system. I just find it kind of curious tha... | |
| Kimber Cable Monocle XL Speaker Wire? Hasse, in my system the bass from the Bifocal was warmer, in fact it created some bass boom. The Synergistics also have nice extension and fullness into the bass, just a little tighter and more articulate. |
