| Speakers and system for compressed recordings? Like I said earlier, I was in the same boat as you. I bought the Odyssey Kismet Reference floorstanding speakers and never looked back. Almost all of my beloved Classic Rock from the 60's and 70's sound good, some sound incredible. Classical and J... | |
| Do Thiel Audio CS3.7 Rock? The best speakers for Rock and also Classical and Jazz to my ears are the Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference Floorstanding Speakers. They are simply amazing. My rock taste goes from Metallica through Pink Floyd and everything in between. They never, e... | |
| I just started listening to my CD player again One word: Shunyata. can't go wrong. | |
| Speakers and system for compressed recordings? Classic rock sounds great on my high end system. I was in your situation for years until I found the right combination of amp and speakers. Almost any kind of music now souinds good on my system. The Blu-Ray version of DSOTM is absolutely mind blo... | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? I use a inch and a half thick slab of black granite under my floorstanding speakers. The speakers have cones and feet protectors which I purchased from Adona, sitting on top of the granite. As the speakers weigh 85 pounds each, they are extremely ... | |
| Anyone have/heard Cerious Tech. React1 speakers? Just checked their web page. I don't see how you could go from the ZU speakers that throw out a large sound to a pair of stand mounted monitors. If you like the big sound that ZU is famous for, you won't get them in a monitor speaker. I had Vander... | |
| Anyone have/heard Cerious Tech. React1 speakers? Never heard the speakers, but you have a great pair of ZU speakers. Personally, I would keep the speakers. My reason: If you are like me, you won't be satisified with the new speaker/amp set up and you will contemplate another amp. If you like the... | |
| Review: Dynaudio Special Twenty-Five Monitor I just checked out your dedicated room....I am so envious. What a great place to kick back and listen to music. Your system is very nice, well put together.Bob | |
| What started you on your audiophile journey . My dad bought me an expensive Concord mono cassete recorder in the 60's and I started tapeing songs off my am/fm portable radio. When I turned 16, I bought my first component system: Sansui receiver, BSR turntable, Sony cassette deck, Teac Dolby B... | |
| Rookie; replace my own amplifier caps?? Why not just send the amp back to Klaus at Odyssey and have him replace the caps for FREE as the amp comes with a 20 year warranty. You could ask him about the newer and much better Symphonic branded caps he uses in his extreme models. I have them... | |
| USB to SPDIF Converters I recently bought a Musical Fidelity V-Link usb/spdif converter to use with my Emotiva XDA-1 dac. I am very pleased with the sound as it brought the Emotiva to an entirely new level. Stereophile rates the v-link as a solid class B.Bob | |
| DENON DL-304. Is it the bargain sound or not? I had a slab of black granite under my VPI Scout turntable. Tended to make the sound bright and thin. Solid maple (butcherblock) 2 to 3 inches thick is better. You will get a warmer and richer sound, very musical. I had a Grado Gold and didn't car... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus .... reverse polarity ? I have my speakers wired in reverse polarity. The reason: My Audible Illusions Modulus 3A preamp reverses polarity so by reversing them at the speakers puts them back to the proper polarity. And yes, there is most definitely a difference when reve... | |
