| arc vs electrocompaniet Everytime I put my 45 lb EMC-1 SE back on "top" of my 5 ft cabinet I hurt my back! | |
| Recommendations for small, wall mount speakers Boston Acoustic VR-MX are what I finally bought after testing MANY speakers for boundary influence. You wouldn't believe how many two-ways (inc MANY surrounds designed for wall-mounting like PSB and JM Labs) sound like congested crap when pushed b... | |
| Which cables go with what????? Hi guys. I'm packing for Italy for a month, so didn't read the thread. Guess I'll miss a lot. Have a fine August, everyone. Ernie | |
| Recommend aftermarket power cords on turntables? Don't waste your money. It's a motor. ErnieM's Power Products. | |
| B&W N803 vs. Revel F30 I beg strongly to disagree! If the threadhead had said his requirements were for electronic music (rock/pop/elec jazz/etc.) I would have gone with the recessed-mid N803 also, as those big woofs and searing tweeter do fill the neighborhood!....But ... | |
| Suggestions for Spendor 3/5 Yes, the 3/5 is VERY inefficient, and thankfully will fill the bottom somewhat with front wall boundary support. Yet I found them so anemic at 84 dB that I bought their big brothers the S3/1p and the great SC3 center channel (an S3 SE with TWO woo... | |
| Anyone using NITES on their CD player?? Spend your money much more wisely! | |
| What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines??? Craig,I consider $3/ft for cryo'd Romex excessive!...and still believe that better dielectric DOES matter. | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 Vs ECD1 DAC+Transport If you remove the covers from an EMC-1 you'll see that the 18 lb transport section is a VERY important heart of this player, and I believe VERY much integral to its analogue-like non-glarey sound. Its dynamism and extension is improved with the ne... | |
| Review: Ernie M's (Subaruguru) DIY Power cord/PCK 12 Power cord Thanks for the reviews and recommendations that seem to keep popping up more everywhere else but here! Ha!Graham, you must be thinking of a different Ernie...I've got an Aleph-Parsifal/Encore chain in 2ch and Spendor/Boston HT. Also have introduce... | |
| wire for dedicated 20 amp circuit Uh, the LAST thing you want adjacent a dedicated line is a magnetic material, so at least use aluminum if it has to be metallic. RSVP for even better suggestions.... | |
| Monitors vs Floorstanders I feel pretty strongly that the M20's strong benefits in midrange neutrality, soundstaging abilities, and neutral (can be bright in a lively room) top octave make it a superb choice, and far better than the cheap-for-the-pound 60s. You may sacrifi... | |
| best monitor available? Verity Audio Monitors (the top 1/2 of the Parsifal Encores). Phenomenal neutrality and soundstage precision. | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? That there can be minor acoustic differences between well-made cables consisting of the same copper and the same low-effect fluorocarbon dielectric IS interesting. Puffing the Teflon with air or changing L-C values with geometry further complicate... | |
| What causes phase shifts...Sean? Thanks again, (not-so)Clueless...and you too, Aball.Can of worms? Ok: Why would anyone put magnets or ferrous (magnetic) material in a power cord? Bob Crump got me to thinking about how ridiculous such construction is, so I wonder what what propos... |
