| Revel M20 vs.B W 805 vs.Dynaudio 1.3SE Hmmm...why not get the Revel F30 and forget the sub? Clearly the best midrange of the group, and prodigious bass for themoney ( | |
| Which Headphone Amp for Sennheiser 600? Finally found an RCA-plug/phono-jack adaptor cable at the Shack ($4) that enables me to run my new HD600s directly off my Aleph P. Sounds great! | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Pipedreams. Uncannily capable of recreating an acoustical event as it was recorded in its original space. I guess that means a sense of effortless scale. Their ridiculous size precludes home use for me, but I really felt like I was in Jordan Hall ... | |
| Help with imaging I have slight off-center imaging due to room asymmentry, even though I listen in the nearfield, and resort quite successfully to a balance-control tweak to pull the image a bit. As the thread-head states he tried the system in a different ROOM wit... | |
| Jazz Review Jazz Focus Records sent me this CD following our telcon after I bought the two latest Kendra Shank discs from them (both superb, by the way).Jessica Williams has enormous chops, combining the lyricism and propulsion of Bill Evans with the great te... | |
| Positioning and Listening distance My room is 14x18x8, with a 5' doorway behind my chair on the back wall leading into a smaller room.I sit in a 7.5' triangle, 8-9' out from the front wall(grand piano behind the speaker plane), and can assure you that I have an incredibly DEEP soun... | |
| Low noise Preamp for High Eff Speakers My Aleph P is DEAD quiet, and available used under $2k. | |
| Dielectric? J.D. Fascinating thread. Before reading all the posts I initially postulated that a blood-pressure change from getting up and walking over to the cables and back changed your seratonin levels. The quip about Prozac and OCD may seem cru(el)de, but ... | |
| Linn Ikemi vs. Electro. EMC1 vs. 508.24 I'm in Joel's position, too, but have had to rule out the EMC as too large. Blackie's comment re the Ikemi's softish bass has me concerned, as I was about to demo it versus perhaps a Naim CD5 or used CDX. More help, please?Thanks. Ernie | |
| Loudspeaker under 3000 new or used Revel F30 are amazing for the $! Easily the best midrange in a 3-way anywhere near the money. Good Luck. Ernie | |
| Redwiki - About racks, shelves... Hi Mark.Just thought I'd weigh in with my comment that I'm still very happy with how the Neuance platform has tightened up and integrated my old CDP's upper octaves, without changing spectral tilt. PRaT is outstanding, and only lean or fatiguing w... | |
| Experience with Aerial models 6 or 7b Although I preferred the midrange of the Aeriel 8 over the 7b, it was clear that they were WAY to bass-heavy in my similar room. I didn't like the incoherence of the N803 at all, but was mightily impressed with the Revel F30!I would seriously cons... | |
| Speaker upgrade - please advise. You didn't describe your room...nor listening geometry.My setup required nearfield (7.5' triangle) 10' out from the front wall. Nautilus simply doesn't cohere in the nearfield. I ended up blowing the wad on Parsifal Encores(truly amazing), but for... | |
| NORDOST RED DAWN I second the above. In my highly-resolving system (VA Parsifal Encores and Aleph P+2s) my RD revII provide a very open window, which of course extends to any etched, grainy treble of digital sources.This has been somewhat ameliorated by proper iso... | |
| Help me salvage my rack Try a lightweight isolation/damping platform like the Neuance shelf, on MDF if necessary, for a more coherent sound than air bladders. Good luck. |
