| Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14' I too had the TC-50's and they are great for small rooms. However you should listen to the Meadowlark Kestrals. A floorstander that can placed easily,transmisson line design, easy to drive, and looks and sounds great. My room is actually a loft wi... | |
| What's the best digital cable around 100 each? I agree with Ramesh23. The canare cable is a great bargin. Very well made. | |
| Jazz Recommendations Wow this thread is a classic. I will mention two books that I have with info on jazz: All that jazz-the illustrated story of jazz music. This book contains great pics and I recommend it for someone who is just starting out. The other is Jazz by Jo... | |
| equipment sound bad? Sean has a good point. If your recording sounded bad on the mentioned gear ask yourself why. Perhaps synergy is what that system lacked. Not all big ticketed items make music. Good listening! | |
| Question about different tubes I agree with Rlm194. The amperex-holland tube has great midrange. I have two in my SF dac. Hope this helps. | |
| And the winner is... (tube rolling) I thank you gentleman for the great info. I probably do have some counterfeit bottles in my mix. Lack of experience no doubt. Stay tuned! Bret | |

| what used speakers to buy for 650? Look around for some Meadowlark Kestrals. These spkrs to me are truly amazing. Well built,small footprint,easy to drive, and most of all musical. I too listen to acoustic jazz and these Kestrals do sing. The hotrodded verison might be a little mor... | |

| Best CHEAP floorstanders? Have you considered the Meadowlark Kestrals? Though not 90db they are easy to drive and sound great. Transmisson line and the xover is on the bottom of the cabinet. You should be able to find a used pair for the price you stated. Excellent spkr fo... | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... I can't remember my first LP although I do remember a Black Sabbath record I did have. My sister could not understand what was wrong with me. I do remember my first hi end spkr however, it was the DQ 10. I been crazy ever since. Good thread. | |
| Pwr enhancer or straight from the wall? Blueswan it sounds like the reversed has happened. The music sounds alot clearer,detailed,etc. I believe the cleaning up that the lightspeed is doing has given me the results I hear now. Stay tuned! | |
| How can I tell if I need more power? Bravo Sean I agree 100%. Quality is the key I believe when it comes to pwr. Watts can be sold to the unadvised but a good 60 quality watts will always out perform a bad designed 100. There are dealers in CA that should steer you in the right direc... | |
| Your opinion on burn in Pops I'm sort of leaning in your direction. I do find after a couple of days of non-use a smile comes when I fire up everything. My dac is a tube unit and I don't leave it on but I am thinking of changing that thought due to the digital circuitry.... |
