| Which allround speaker ? How new were those Thiels? If new they need break in. They are not harsh. | |
| How critical is placement for Vandy 2 ce Sig. ? I have these peaskers and they need room to breathe in order to stage properly. Give em at least 18 inches sides and behind (perferably more here, I use about 30 inches). Also aim them somwhere between straight ahead and a little turned inward but... | |
| Integrated Tube Amplifier for First Timer? Don't make the mistake I made with a Jolida 302B in my first venture into tube land. There are better tubed integrateds out there. What I would purchase instead is a Rogue Cronus or CJ CAV50 (previously owned of course). These are much better choi... | |
| Rega p25 to vpi scoutmaster or phono stage and mc I had a P25 and went to a VPI Aries2/JMW 10.5. Glad I did and never looked back. | |
| What's better than the Jolida JD100 I own both a Jolida and CJ DV2b and the CJ is much better in the dynamics and extension area, presenting a more realistic experience than the Jolida. Used DV2Bs can be found for about $1200. I realize this means USED but the actuality is that you ... | |
| Accidental improvement in performance...cheap Could be a great anti-theft device too..and leave little signs when you're not home saying "I wouldn' touch that if I were you, if you know what I mean, and I think you do." | |
| EAR 834P DELUX Telefunken 12ax7s, but also tried the JJs and they are great too. | |
| What do you think is the best sounding metal album Another vote for Puppy here; industrial emerged out of the metal backwater and Puppy invented it (nods also to Einsterzende Neubaten) Also saw them for Last Rights and Greater Wrong.. tours.But also:Tool - any recordingType O Negative - October Ru... | |
| Krell "cast" vs. xlr Though many will disagree with me, I tried a couple of different CAST cables and it didn't matter, consistent with Dan D'Agostinos approach to this current domain, high impedance output into low imedance input configuration. Choose on the basis of... | |
| Products for raising cables off the floor. 8 inch plastic chopsicks with nice graphics on them. Colored rubber bands to make arches that grip the cables lightly. Makes a great very inexpensive solution. | |
| Krell "cast" vs. xlr CAST hands down | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? I had 7BSTs for a time with a pair of CS7s. This sounded good for a couple of years. The key is not to crank it to loudly, I did one day and blew out the high end driver in the coaxial high/high mid unit (which Thiel replaced free of charge). The ... | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? Trying to drive the 3.6 on a budget less than $1000 simply doesn;t make sense becuase there is no amp in that range that will do these speakers justice. Not my preference but a simple fact of life.These speakers need current which means power supp... | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? Krell: If you can find a cx series amp 300cx that you can afford, or better still a 400cx, I guarantee this will be exactly what will make them sing. This way there will be no current dipping by the amp at the minimum impedance they demonstrate in... |
