| Speakers better than the MMGs? MMG's are wonderful midrange speakers. You have to sit exactly on axis with them, and they give you a small but clear picture to what is going on...no lows, no highs, no big crescendos, no this and no that. If you appreciate what it does do, they ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy...for heaven's sake, get out your viola and old music and play. Air viola is for sissy's. You have the ability, the knowledge, and the gear...go to it!! | |
| Micro Benz S Class cartridges I agree Plato. I have a Benz Ebony LP (not S class). It is a great cartridge at any number of VTF settings, however, there is ONE setting that makes it a KILLER. Careful setup will reveal great heights in pleasure. | |
| 3-d sounding headphones..... I don't know what you mean by dimension. If that means depth and width...you're not going to get that with earphones. You will get much better clarity, evenness of sound and lots of drawdroppingly good stuff from earphones, but the naturlness of s... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Personally, I would contact Klipsch. They have a website and a customer service department. You probably could send the problem part back to them with their guidance. I would be leary of do it yourself projects. Your speakers are very good as you ... | |
| My soundstage is terrible. i need help bad. Johnnyb53...Yes - I am a violinist. Actually, I intended to retire and just play for myself, but a private school here heard I had moved and asked me to run an instrumental music department. It will be better than practicing long hours and readyin... | |
| Any B&W 802D/800D alternatives looks and sound? Take a look at the Vandersteen 5A. The performance is a bargain, and if you upgrade to the beautiful optional woods, the speakers are gorgeous. | |
| Headphones vs loudspeakers ..on another point regarding headphones.. Most headphone jacks are of poor quality, and the circuits are afterthoughts. To get the best from headphones, they need a dedicated headphone amp. | |
| Soldering Cardas interconnect cables its not epoxy..it's a ceramic coating...very difficult to work with. | |
| Best U.S.A. speakers? I own Vandersteen 5A's. If you read their literature, the design is such that the driving amp is absolutely loafing because it only operates the mids and highs. The lows are handled by the built in 1000 watt dedicated amps. There is also the abili... | |
| Playstation3 's Blue-Ray vs Stand Alone Units Be careful with Blu=Ray. They are not equal. There are various versions of BluRay, and sometimes some discs will not play on some players. | |
| iPod recommendations ..also, the Nano doesn't sound as good. I understand that it has a flash drive rather than a hard drive. The secret of the IPod is that you must use good earphones to really hear it. It is excellent | |
| 802D vs 800D vs 803D in Small room with open plan? The difference between the 802's and the 800's is really in the bass. I owned the 802's and found the bass adequate, the 800's I find perhaps too adequate. To me they sound bass heavy. The mids and highs are a bit cleaner and clearer on the more e... | |
| My soundstage is terrible. i need help bad. You speak of room treatment... I just moved to Scottsdale, Arizona from Short Hills, New Jersey. My stereo system sounded wonderful there. When I got here, the system sounded awful... like it was playing in a steel drum. The room here is 16 feet w... | |
| Headphones vs loudspeakers I agree completely with Newbee. The phones are jaw dropping stupendous, however, they are not real sound in real space. As my room gets better and better, I listen to my earphones less. Although the sound of good earphones are incredibly good, the... |
