| Need advice on CLX surround system I think it comes down to looks vs performance. If you push the Vantage right up against the wall and set the processor to small limiting it's bass output then that is what the Script is going to do. With the Vantage you get bass down to 35hz and y... | |
| I.R. Receiver It's a nice feature for A/V system integration since you can plug in unseen in the back and it's very reliable. Otherwise, you have to add stick-on IR microflasher on the front where ever the IR eye is. The microflasher can get knocked off or fall... | |
| Line Stage Tube Replacement for CJ ET3 Consider you just changed one of the three tubes in your pre-amp. My bet is that new tube you have is nothing special. If you had a complete set of NOS matched tubes you could really hear your CJ sing. Contact Andy at http://vintagetubeservices.co... | |
| Need advice on CLX surround system I don't think you will be happy with anything that does not have a electrostatic pannel in it. If you don't have the floor space, then find some used Scripts. Floor standers will give you the option to move them around. It could make a big differe... | |
| Melos Audio MA200 PH: your opinions, please Tubes can make a big difference. Who knows what kind of tubes were in the piece I heard. As far as noise goes a good pin cleaning and silver contact paste might clean up the noise. Junk can build up on the tube plates too. I give mine a good finge... | |
| PS Audio P3 Improvements from power conditioning can vary widely depending on the quality of power and the gear in use. I would tend to lean toward investing in the DAC first. For power make sure you plug your amp direct in the wall and eliminate any power st... | |
| Melos Audio MA200 PH: your opinions, please I worked in a hifi shop back in the 90's. I believe we had a Melos MA220 Pre-amp. Compared to the Sonic Frontiers gear we had it was very light weight and did not have the same solid feel to the knobs and switch gear. The pre-amp sounded very dry ... | |
| Hum from Plasma TV Maybe try some kind of shielded tone arm cable? I would move your TT as far away from the TV to see if anyhting happens. It's free and it might present a clue. | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K Green Mountain Europa $975 currently for sale. Many reviews on the web. | |
| In Wall Speaker cables, NEED HELP Kimber makes a in-wall cable called Kimber Kwik in 12 and 16 gauge.http://www.kimber.com/products/loudspeakercables/kwik/12/ | |
| Hum from Plasma TV Try lifting the ground on 3 prong plugs by using a cheap 3-2 prong gray plug adapter from the hardware store. Try the TV first, then TT related equipment. | |
| Upgrade? A lot of the older flagship AV gear can be had for cheap since they do not have HDMI hook up. If you can live with component Y/Pb/Pr then you may want to go that route. Going forward the new products like TVs & DVD players are going to have HD... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? A well chosen amp certainly can tame your highs. As you have already found, your Kappa's are going to be hard to beat. If you like them, then shop amps instead. | |
| Light switch and amp You got good sound that night because the power grid is less noisy in the middle of the night. The noise you are hearing through the light switch could be coming through any component power cord. If you buy some power conditioner or power regenera... | |
| Upgrade Path? I would say it is a toss up between source and speakers, however, since you bought the speakers specifically because of the synergy with your integrated I would upgrade your source first. My choice would be a tube CD or DAC for soundstage. Get abo... |
