| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Hiding the pre and CDs in an arty-but-rigid Arts&Crafts cabinet (save for "ONE attractive box allowed on top"--thank goodness the EMC-1 rates high!), along with the 25%jewelry surcharge penalty works fine. | |
| Source Rotel RCD 971 Player Upgrade or DAC Hmmm...must disagree. Whereas my experience with the 'Cantoand a DVD was VERY disappointing, I can't say using the Rotel as a transport was much better than the Rotel alone.The'Canto does remove some of the grain from the Rotel, but superimposes a... | |
| What cd player or cd transport/dac is next for me? I like my EMC-1 MKII enough to have just bought two extra 24/192k DAC upgrade kits for any EMC-1 owner wanting to upgrade on their own (got 'em for $600).Note that ann EMC-1 MkI is now on A'gon auction under $2200.So for $2800 total you'd have an ... | |
| "Warm" CD player...on a budget. Want my upgraded (new analogue stage) Rotel 855 and Neuance Alpha iso-shelf? Great combo. $350 shipped. You won't be disappointed. Good luck. Ern | |
| New Home Depot concept coming to Audio? Tweeter: UPPER mid-fi? I don't think so.... | |
| TOP TEN replies you don't want from your spouse .. Why did you put that new Electrocompanion, or whatever it's called, CD player on top of the Arts & Crafts cabinet...especially on that "Noonce" gray thing? How do you expect anyone to reach it up there? (faint whistling noises from yours truly... | |
| Would You Pay to Listen? ...especially, 'kanetz! | |
| Advice on Balanced Cables I find that Discovery Essence XLR sound WAY more open and vivid than HT Pro-Silway RCA between my EMC-1 MkII and Aleph P. Several of you say it's the cable, but I wonder if it could be the balanced operation. I know that's the pitfall of changing ... | |
| Girlfriend's mom threw my Cardas out with trash The cleaning lady moved a speaker last week! I'll never be the same.... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit "demiurgical divagations"?? Where the hell is that OED...and the magnifying glass?! | |
| Speaker positioning? Hmmm....I too have a 14x25 room, but it's a bit asymmetric, and because there's a 7' grand in the front, I've been forced to set up a 7.5' triangle about 10 feet out from the front wall. Sidewall splatter is tamed by stuffed furniture with throw p... | |
| B&W nautilus 804 for linn classik? I agree with Jk, and feel that the 805 w/sub is FAR preferable to the anemically-voiced 804. If you want a three-way at the 804's price point check out my fave, the Revel F30...or stretch to a 803N if you listen in the farfield only, for more $$. ... | |
| B&W Nautilus Subwoofer to match N804s You may not need a sub of much size if you use 803s instead of the uptilted 804s. But my take is from a 2 ch music perspective, not HT. Have fun. | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. Sorry, Mara..., try that again, please. And what is "ansable"?Good post, onhwy. Totally agree. Tube amp output impedence/speaker load interactions that change frequency response are the greatest factor in ascribing tube amp tonal effects, no? Some... | |
| Where to start? sonically balanced system ..??? 1. Get speakers that sound great IN YOUR ROOM (treat IT, too!, with a neutral amp and source.2. Get an amp that drives these speakers well, either integrated or monos with pre.3. Get a front end that you LOVE the sound of with this "driven system"... |
