| Speaker sound differences? Try reversing the signal L & R through each component CD, Pre-Amp and Amp to see if you can get the effect to switch channels. If you can't, then switching the speakers will be the last test to ensure that it is the speakers and not the room. ... | |
| What effects soundstage more .... You might try a larger Pass amp. Soundtage tends to collapse and the sound becomes etched and strained as the amp runs out of gas. | |
| Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio? Pioneer Elite definitly says Cadillac all the way down to the gaudy gold trim. Even if it had performance, no one who bought it would know what to do with it anyway. | |
| Monitor with good midrange dispersion- Keep a eye out for a pair of Green Mountain Continuum .5 two-way monitors. Roy no longer makes this model, but he did offer it with same hand rubbed cherry finish as the Imago. The drivers are mounted in a cast marble front baffle. This would be a... | |
| Tube/Hybrid amp for 2 channel listening and HT use At 86DB efficiency a tube amp will not likely be a good match for your speakers. Bass impact, max volume and dynamics will suffer the most. If you like action movies or big cinematic sound, the tubes are going to fall short. If you are running a s... | |
| Check this out Looks great... might sound a little woody though. Don't invite any tree huggers over! | |
| video switcher suggestions Extron. Won't be cheap though. | |
| Tony Furtado, check this guy out I picked up the "American Gypsy" CD after a solo performance at the Buffalo Gap in Portland. The opening track Oh Berta Berta really jams. The recording quality is pretty decent. I am not big on bluegrass, but I have been playing this disc all sum... | |
| Coolest color for Wilson Watt/Puppy 7 ? Nice job Audiogoon! | |
| Coolest color for Wilson Watt/Puppy 7 ? Agree with Jazzdude. High contrast is great for the eye, but bad for the soundstage unless you always listen with your eyes closed. Order the color that will blend best into your decor. Get the matching grilles too if you don't get a color that is... | |
| Preamp Recommendations Welcomed There are two Blue Circle BC-3 Despania pre-amps on Audiogon for $1400 bucks.There is a Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 for 1,295. One if not the best pre-amp SF ever made. Both don't have remote control however. | |
| Preamp Recommendations Welcomed How about a BC pre-amp with the cherry knobs... yum :)Not only will they match cosmetically. They are designed to go with each other. | |
| Which SS amps sound like a tube amp? Lanno Trinity 200 is what you are looking for. I agree with Sogood51. You will get the great midrange and soundstage of a tube amp with the slam and power of solid state amps. Plus, you can fine tune the sound by swapping tubes without breaking th... | |
| Triad speakers, Platinums or Gold? I sold Triad for years. The Platinums are way over priced for the sound quality. They are large, bulky, awkward, and pretty ugly if you ask me. The highs are etched and brittle. There is really nothing magic about this speaker at all. Triad puts ... | |
| Martin Logan vs. Thiel The Martin Logans should have plenty of sparkle. Try a silver interconnect between CD and integrated.Also, make sure the speakers are out in the room and not up against the wall.Try taking out the power conditioner. Run the integrated straight int... |
