| Which components knocked you out on first listen? EMC-1 MkII; Verity Audio Parsifal Encores, front-firing;Audio Refinement Complete Integrated (simply based on their low price!); Aleph P pre; SPM speaker cables; Earthworks SRO mics. | |
| An odd idea NEVER feed one amp's output into another's! The output impedence of the "disconnected" amp is MUCH lower (0.1 ohms or less with ss) than any speaker, and you'll quickly blow up the unused amp, right? | |
| Budget Balanced Interconnects Canare mic cable (the better one) is amazingly good PRO stuff for peanuts. Doesn't do anything wrong, and is neutral and quite-high rez. Next up is Nordost for more top octave glitz. | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? I guess I'm blessed that in my 50 years THREE women have told me that I "Make Love Like A God", but they didn't really sing it on-key... Wish one of them was my wife...what is it with these NY intellectual jewesses, eh? OK, maybe it's my SSRI....H... | |
| Any small monitors that dont sound thin and bright Nice thread....I couldn't help but sample a dozen or so shops while I was in Scotland last summer, and EVERY time I asked about mini-monitors the guys waded through the new KEFs, B&W, Monitor Audio, Missions, even the Quad 11L, and ended up at... | |
| Need Suggestions For Wall Mounted Speakers I just went through this process, and was surprised that speakers from JM Labs AND PSB that were purposely built as surrounds sounded shitty when wall-mounted! I found their spectral response quite nice in free-space (when auditioning and at home)... | |
| How do you properly break-in a pair of speakers? Ryan's got it right. Even better is to boost the bass if you have tone controls (huh?). You'll soften those surrounds and spiders quicker.... | |
| Cheapo interconnect for sub only $200 to run a sub?C'mon...get GREAT results from a fine Canare (made up by Markertek) or DIY. It's a PRO mic and IC that's costs peanuts, and would be perfect for your sub's line level.Markertek probably wants under $20. Enjoy. | |
| CD Player buying decisions Just get the 541i for $400 discounted. | |
| EMC-1 MkII Dave, Will do! | |
| What's the best isolation system? Mike, I HANG my Aleph 2 monos from the joists under the speakers in my basement! Does this meet your MASS+AIR SUSPENSION qualification? | |
| best DIY power cord? You got it at the 100' roll price! Lucky you. Their small quantity price is $2.50/ft.... Enjoy it...it's good stuff. | |
| neutrality vs. realism 61, isn't that a compromise between recording the performance somewhat "as heard" by the audience, but as well with a higher s/n ratio than would be possible if the mics were lower? Also, in MANY halls the first balcony yields a better natural "mi... | |
| Help, I need to purchase FM outdoor antenna Whatever's cheap at the Shack used to be pretty good (1990). | |
