| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? It regenerates the power, not makes it perfect. The better it starts the better it will be at the end. The companies which make the regenerators or conditioners suggest you use good cables; they should know. | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Yes a dedicated line will help; a related question often comes up; why spend any money on a good AC cord to the regenerator when perfect AC will come out anyway? My experience is that using a very good cord to the regenerator makes it sound better... | |
| Speaker Stand Design? I use several Spendor models which are similar to Harbeth. I had the Mapleshade Quadraspire wood stands but was not crazy about them; I had a pair of the low ones they now make and absolutely hated them. I have had good luck with Skylan and Sound ... | |
| Can SME 309 mount on Scout 'table? I am a VPI dealer and use to be an SME dealer and have used the Scout and used a 309 [not on the Scout]. It would not be that easy to mount a 309 on a Scout because of having to drill out a SME type hole in the top of the table. I would say two th... | |
| Can I build a Proac Response 3 A good speaker system is a balance of cabinet, drivers and crossover; you can spend a lot of money trying to get a certain sound out of a cabinet designed for a different one. I suspect better drivers and crossover would improve the sound but just... | |
| Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers If they were all that under appreciated we wouldn't be able to name them, would we? LOL. | |
| Covering a naked platter- MMF 7 has no felt pad The Linn felt pad is very good and only costs about $25 from the Linn shop on ebay. Tables that come with a pad usually sound better with one; ones like VPI or Basis or Raven that do not come with one usually do not. | |
| Any advantages to bi-wiring speakers vs. single I have single wire, biwire and triwire speakers. If I were given the choice I would go for single wire. I have biwired, biamped etc and single to me gives the best overall sound. I use to biamp my Duetta Sigs but when I get them renovated I am goi... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or buy a DAC? At that price point I would get a Musical Fidelity V-DAC and a decent digital cable. | |
| MF X-DAC In my own system to Audio Synthesis DAX, Musical Fidelity TriVista 21 and Rega DAC; in my friends to Musical Fidelity A5. I think the Rega is a little better but it is as good as any of the others and better than the dac section of the A5. It beat... | |
| Recordings with BASS If you get the Wasserman make sure it is the 24 bit remaster. I got it in a 3 CD set ; solos, duets and trios. The last two are really excellent for bass and sound in general. | |
| Recordings with BASS For setting up subs REL recommends the sound track from "Sneakers". I have it and it is quite good for both bass and musical content. | |
| A Good Match? I looked at the review and impedance was not mentioned. The problem is this, a transistor amp attempts to double its power when you halve the impedance. A speaker with a low impedence minimum [ say 3 ohms or lower] may well try to draw more power ... | |
| A Good Match? Somehow I can't see a $400 Home Theater amp being the best choice. What kind of impedence curve do the Hales have? If it goes below 4 ohms make sude the Yamaha will handle it. | |
| I didnt know that Did you guys know that? Stereo Review?? I use to read that in the 60s and 70s; didn't it fold up years ago or have I slipped through a hole in the Space/Time continuum? |
