| Advice on Equipment Upgrade I think I'm finally getting it -- I'm a drummer so it takes me a while. Sounds like you're getting the fullness and tone from elements like drum shells, but you're missing some of the transient snap and attack of the stick hitting the drum heads a... | |
| iPhone/iTunes best connection advice I bought a demo Wadia 170 from Music Direct for $150 for my iPhone4 and it works great. Best of luck.http://www.musicdirect.com/p-16296-wadia-itransport-170-silver-used.aspx | |
| I think I need an audio repeater - need simplicity You can get the Universal RFS200 that does RF that you can get for 70 bucks. It's a full learning remote so will learn any component it doesn't already have, and it's built to last (I've been using an older model for 15 years with no problem). The... | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? Thanks guys. Have you tried the 2.5 on amps as well as preamps, DACs, etc.? I read a review where they did ok on lower current devices but not so well on amps, so wondering what your experience is here.Where I am is I have no budget for PCs right ... | |
| Advice on Equipment Upgrade I think Acman3 asked a key question. Does your digital source sound ok in the midbass and it's just analog that sounds weak there? Out of curiosity, how do you find the digital sound overall in your system (i.e. strengths/weaknesses) and what is y... | |
| Which stands for Joseph Audio Pulsars? I know Jeff was using Osiris stands at one point (what he brought to Fremer's for the S'phile review), but sadly no longer made. I'd give Joseph Audio a call. I'm sure they'll have some recommendations and who better to ask? | |
| EQ for a pair of subs Thanks guys, this is a big help and I'm looking into all of it. I'm planning on stereo bass and looks like the SMS only has the ability to employ one filter across multiple subs (unless I'm missing something), so not sure that would work. The DSpe... | |
| In need of a powercord I'm about to try the Supra LoRad 2.5 in my system. Got a good review in Positive Feedback a while back, and if you're willing to take a few minutes to screw the plugs on the ends of the cable they can be had for about $65 for 1.5m. Best of luck. | |
| Building new house need advice on a dedicated room I'm also in the process of designing a dedicated listening room. Regardless of how you proceed I'd recommend getting the book Premium Home Theater by Earl Geddes so you're at least familiar with various design theories and approaches. Despite the ... | |
| Cardas Golden Reference vs. Triode Wire Labs 10+ It does seem strange the GR interconnects were bright. What is your other equipment? Triode makes it easy to try their PCs, so why not give them a shot and see what happens? But I agree with Mechans that the interconnects may be the relatively mor... | |
| Cable Recommendations It would help to know what you're currently using and what types of sound characteristics you're looking to preserve or improve. Also, you don't mention any power conditioning or dedicated lines?Morrow and My Audio Cables(MAC) seem to get consiste... | |
| Bookshelf speaker ideas.... Hard to imagine you'd be disappointed with the PSBs, but then you never know which speaker will really "do it" for any individual's preferences (would help if you went into some detail in what you're looking for soundwise) so definitely try to get... | |
| Is anyone familiar with the Ayre Dac?? I haven't heard it but have had their C-5xeMP for a short time. It was excellent but as with David I would also say the sound tended a little to the warm or polite side (maybe part of the Ayre house sound if there is one?), which may be good or ba... | |
| Speaker cables or interconnects?? I'd put the Acoustic Zen Satori on your list. Detailed but natural-sounding highs with expressive and full mids. Bass is also full but not the tightest I've heard (not bad though), but that will likely be somewhat system dependent. Haven't heard t... | |
| WHAT TV SHOULD I GET RIGHT NOW? Since you don't get direct light plasma is possibly a good option, especially if you have off-angle seating positions as mentioned above. The other thing I've noticed in watching some friends' LCD-based sets is that motion seems less fluid than wi... |
