| B&K ST-140 - early lower watt version vs. 105 watt Get the ones with the "blue and red printed faceplate"...the rest were so weak that they could not even handle a 4 ohm load (junk)...better power supply always sounds best.Dave | |
| The proverbial "giant killer" One answer...have a listen. If (you) think that, "that" speaker system has the sound you are looking for....buy it.This ain't rocket science, or..."economies of scale". It's about design and implementation. Once you get it home...say "hello room".... | |
| Price vs. value point Take a look at "Outlaw Audio"..."AV123"..."Odyssey Audio"..."ATI". All these companies have products that fit.Dave | |
| Mid sized room -Full range vs Monitor You have the full plate of options with that room...a dedicated room which allows use of bass traps without putting you in the dog house is a major plus also...I suggest both front corners as a good start.Dave | |
| bi-amping Lamm m1.2's I think you would be better off if you mention your speakers, ie...I own (blank speakers)...I'm thinking about bi-amping...has enyone bi-amped these speakers?You don't bi-amp amps. bi-amping means using two stereo, or four mono amps to drive one p... | |

| 1.0 or 1.5 m digital interconnect, does it matter? SteveI did read your white-paper on the subject a good while back...I try to retain so much in such a cramped space between my ears but I mostly forget 90% of what I read, (not because I want to).I do remember that it was a very good paper...thank... | |
| 1.0 or 1.5 m digital interconnect, does it matter? Thanks AudiofeilI didn't read Pawlowski6132's post (more of a quick skim)...I do agree with him though....:DDave | |
| 1.0 or 1.5 m digital interconnect, does it matter? Someone wrote an artical saying that 1.5m of cable sounded better than 1m...something about reflections or some sort of crap?...I don't hear any difference?I do see that he sells 1m digital cables at his web site?...I would not sell them if I thou... | |

| SACD vs. Redbook with NOS DAC I read the post wrong...NOS, DAH?...I was thinking NOS...as in tubes.CD's are old technology...does that make better sense? How about that even older technology, vinyl?...does that make an ounce of sense?Dave | |
| SACD vs. Redbook with NOS DAC I had a Sony XA-777es SACD player in my system for around a year...I agree, more analog like than most digital.I now have an old Counterpoint DAC in my system...it has all the sound qualities that I liked so much in the Sony...or as you put it, "T... | |
| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? I give 100% credit to "Motown Records"...Waaaaaay back in my early teens.Dave | |
| Tube amp with SS like bass I don't know about the Rogue 90...my Rogue 120 Magnums (Kt-88's) have Krell like bass...as a matter of fact they replaced a Krell Kav-500.That said, no amp can drive speakers which require more power than that amp can provide...no exceptions.Your ... | |
