| Feedback system flawed? They could go with the eBay model, where only those who are either the buyer or seller can leave feedback. Before eBay went to this system, you could not tell if good comments were made up by associates of seller/buyer or whether bad ones were jus... | |
| Speakers for Classical Music I agree with the "British sound" being a good way to go. I am very happy with my B&Ws. | |
| The most important piece in a stereo system??? I would also say the preamp. The preamp establishes the character of the whole system. Good speakers accurately produce what they are given. So if your electronics are have a weakness, then the speakers will reproduce the faults. Better speakers w... | |
| What is causing the hum? Steve: I am printing this out to keep in my file of audio tips. Good job! | |
| How many concerts do you attend a year Gee another fun time. Back in my Rhode Island days I was a subscriber to Ben Zanders BPO concerts at Sanders Theater at Harvard University. My seats were front row balcony just left of center (soloist side). Great sound up there and as I and Chanc... | |
| Best reasonably priced phono cable I had Stu Wein the retired owner of MAS (Music and Sound) make me some cables for my turntable using what was his Grey model. He charges me $80 shipped. The Grey sold for $400 when they were sold by dealers (including the Cable Company). A lot of ... | |
| They Sing I put a Nordost Quattro Fil between my preamp and power amp. The rest of my interconnects are all under $400 list (I bought most used). The other good change was putting a Blue Circle BC62 power cord between the wall and my power conditioner. | |

| How many concerts do you attend a year Marin Alsop will be in Baltimore with the BSO and Nadja Salerno Sonnenberg on and around May 11. I met Marin in the early 90s before she was well know. She auditioned for the Rhode Island Philharmonic job. A good friend is on their Board and invit... | |
| A quick question? A little hum is normal on a lot of tube gear from my experience. | |
| Best and Worst Reissue/Remaster CDs These are the wrong kind of music for you, but any classical people reading this thread, the worst IMHO are the DG "Originals". The ones where the CD looks like a mini LP record. They are really bad, unless you want some CDs that sound good in the... | |
| Rel Storm 3 with Thiel CS1.5's ? The Storm III is a great sub. I love mine. There are review links on the website www.rel.net Also read the HiFi Choice review on their page. It is their favorite sub. | |
| Improving bass response Oh I forgot; If you still have the REL, a better power cord for it replacing of the stock cord really smooths out the low bass response (less boomy for a REL, which is not boomy compared to other subs). At least 6 feet long. Maybe then it will int... |
