| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system "My interconnects are nothing special, some Pheonix gold and Monster. I just can't see cables fixing this big of a problem, mabe I'm wrong."You may be right, but I think you're selling this aspect of a system way short. They're also some of the ea... | |
| Rockport's or Magico's OK Dracule1, cough it up. You can't hang that out there and not let us in on your find. That's a foul. I'm gonna take a stab that they're something like Emerald Physics, Ridge Street Audio, Intuitive Design, or NSR Sonic Research. Am I close? | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system My first response would be to address the room issues as others have mentioned. But you clearly state that since this is a living space your options there are limited. By far the easiest thing to do would be to experiment with different interconne... | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Not 100% sure there pure class A, but Gryphon seems to make some well-respected amps. | |
| Good Pre Amp W/Remote for Marsh A400s Amp?? There are obviously going to be synergies with the Marsh pre. If I were you I'd start with a P2000b that you can probably get for 700 bucks or so, and then let something else try to better it in areas that matter to you. By the way, Marsh amps pro... | |
| Bang for Buck Bi-wiried cables... If he's really into 2-channel I guess I can see wanting to bi-wire, but if that's the case if it were me I'd be saving up for a separate pre/pro and amp. If 2-channel isn't a good deal more important to him than home theater I'd put more money int... | |
| Better to change Speakers first or new Preamp+amp One of the most important and hardest things about building a system you truly love is finding the speakers that really blow you away. Sounds like you may have found that, and I'm sure they'll sound pretty damn good with your electronics -- probab... | |
| Extension cord tv /dvr to power conditioner Someone mentioned the Wiremold power strip to me a while back. Available for $49 from Audio Connection in NJ, so not too pricey and won't need to buy any more extension cords if you add other equipment later. Also might cut down on some clutter si... | |
| Good preamp match for Bryston 4B ST What preamp are you currently using? I'm currently using a BP 6 preamp and it's excellent but I don't think any Bryston pre will do anything to reign in those Dali tweets unless your current pre is overemphasizing the treble range already.I like t... | |
| First Plasma/LCD purchase ever - a few questions.. LCD and plasma technologies from the better manufacturers have been fairly reliable according to Consumer Reports, and I would think if anything is going to go wrong with them it will probably surface in the first few months. I know my Panasonic p... | |
| Need a good center for new 805S A buddy of mine had the Matrix HTM center and I was very impressed. Didn't sound wimpy or honky, and it was very clear and accurate sounding with voices. Also, since it only has the one mid driver w/ tweeter mounted on top it avoids a lot of the i... | |
| Speaker recommendations If you're looking in the $1000 price range I think you're going to have to make a trade-off somewhere given all your criteria. All these speakers make decent bass, but whether it's enough for you in your room is impossible to say. Best would be fo... | |
| Speaker recommendations Don't know the Alons, and Vandys might not be the easiest to place to get them to do their thing and may not be as airy sounding as some others out there. Should be a great match with the McCormack though.Given your criteria the first thing that c... | |
| Good USED XLR Interconnect Choices for $300-$400? Tom,I'd submit the Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference (original version) as a very warm and musical interconnect. Tons of tonal color and image density with very refined highs.Ghstudio, it makes not one bit of difference what the recording studios use.... | |
| rotel rsp976 or rsp980 advice please Dolby processing is meant to decode Dolby surround encoded program material, so it is a real surround signal although the rear channels are mono rather than discrete. So when presented a Dolby surround signal the 980 should produce a dedicated cen... |
