| Vibration control, hardwood floor, subwoofer. I think the best WAF factor would be to toss out the 5.1 channel surround idea and stick with the most simple quality-oriented 2-channel or 2.1 channel music system you can find along with a nice tv.You'll save yourself plenty of headaches and per... | |
| Question re Celtic/Irish/Chieftains music Eddaytona, yes The Putumayo disc is a really nice collection. One track in particular that's kinda' cute is track 10. It's almost a Celtic-rap sound, if you can imagine that. :) Not that I care for rap of course but certainly different.Mfkeleher, ... | |
| Question re Celtic/Irish/Chieftains music I only have two celtic-type cd's. One that I really get a lot of enjoyment out of is entitled "Putumayo Presents Celtic Tides, A Musical Odyssey." A collection of celtic artists I purchased from a Coldwater Creek clothing store.-IMO | |
| Can a manufacturer post replies & discussions? Barry, I don't know much about this but my understanding is that you should feel absolutely free to join in any discussion.However, it would probably best serve your own best interests by always providing a disclaimer of sorts that you are a mfg'e... | |
| What do you think of my system? Depending on the quality of the source you select, the synergy, and room acoustics, you could have a very nice warm sounding system whose overall sonics could surpass far more expensive systems.Don't forget to consider good cabling and tweaks such... | |
| What's supporting your speakers? I am using Audio Points by Star Sound Technologies. Prior to that were the spikes that came standard with my optional Sound Anchor stands. Phenomenal difference and perhaps the most shocking/unexpected improvement I've noticed to date.-IMO | |
| No Budget Amp? Money or no, a McCormack DNA 0.5 in it's stock form or in a Revision A rebuilt form could more than suffice. In it's stock form, it is somewhat of a legendary piece in that a number of reviewers (Stereophile and others) placed the DNA 0.5 a compet... | |
| I've lost my bass.... There are some good suggestions by all above. Newbee is correct about playing with the speaker and listening chair placement. The closer to the wall the more the back wall will influence (good or bad) the bass regions.I'm not that familiar with di... | |
| CDP with 2 sets of outputs? No problem, Clbeanz. These Sony's do not have any volume control.I believe the Wadia 861 cdp has volume control but I don't know if it has dual outputs.May I ask what amps you intend to use?-IMO | |
| CDP with 2 sets of outputs? I would think that your question really has to do with pre-amps, rather than cdp's, having multiple sets of outputs (many do).But to answer your question, the Sony SCD-1 has one set of balanced and 2 sets of single-ended outputs and Sony DVP s9000... | |
| Source or Amp in audio link? The sonic differences between amps is typically far greater than the sonic differences between cdp's.Not that money has anything directly to do with better performance, I'd recommend concentrating your focus first and forement on obtaining the rig... | |
| How do iso. cones work and what are the benefits? Piezo, Yup! Hard to believe. I was forewarned of this mechanical break-in period prior to installing them under my rack and speakers. But I paid no attention to it whatsoever as I found the notion perhaps even silly and forgot about it immediately... | |
| Want to buy for a power conditioner? You might add to your list the Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 passive in-line power conditioners. These are dedicated in-line conditioners in that you purchase one LC per component.Marty DeWulf of Bound for Sound reviewed these in Aug, 2003 iss... | |
| How do iso. cones work and what are the benefits? In short, points, spikes, and cones are meant to create a one-way ticket to expedite the exit or transfer of any air-borne vibrations captured and resonance within the component, speaker, or rack to whatever lies beneath it. Eventually, the vibrat... | |
| Speakers for under $10k used? I'd recommend researching the right amp first. Like a speaker, an amp does not necessarily have the same sonic strengths across the frequency spectrum. Once you've settled on an amp, it then becomes easier to find the right speakers to match your ... |
