| Help with Cambridge Audio As a last resort, monoprice has converters for optical to RCA if your unit has that. They also have switch selector devices so you can choose between sources if you only have one digital in. $18 for both. | |
| Affordable Newer Speakers I bought the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 monitors from music direct for a small system. I planned on pairing them with a subwoofer but now don't feel the need. If you don't like them you can send them back. I love mine and am keeping them! | |
| bookshelf speakers I have the same constraints. I have Von Schweikert VR-1 speakers sitting in bookshelves. They are amazing. Very surprising. One might think the sound would be severely compromised but, in fact, it is holographic. The speakers disappear. The only t... | |
| reco speaker cables for Ohm Walshes? How long a run? Single or biwire? Copper, silver or blend? I moved from anti cables to Kimber Kable PR8 by the foot with bare wire termination. Shotgun from monos. Short runs of 3 feet. I'm very happy. Quite affordable for me. | |
| LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS I give great credit to the sound people. Some venues they just can't overcome. Others, they can strut their stuff. It's not like being at home with the full frequency and accuracy of your system, but in the right space they can get close. I recent... | |
| Speaker placement in strangely shaped "room"? No question about it. There is no formula for odd shaped rooms. Or much for any other rooms in my opinion. Research the Sumiko Master Set method. The speakers will "play the room". I've never found a better starting point. It was developed for hot... | |
| Where Coming Back Thanks. Anything that turns people on to music is good. If they appreciate quality reproduction, better. If they buy better equipment, great. Because, it keeps the companies alive-innovating, improving, and competitive. | |
| would wyred 4 sound mono blocks be a good choice f I am using the SX-500 mono amps with Von Schweikert VR-4 JRs. The average impedance is 6 Ohms with 4 Ohms on the bass unit and 8 Ohms on the upper unit. The sensitivity is 89 dB. Your speakers are similar. These amps drive the VS very well. Plenty... | |
| Any Audirvana Plus enthusiasts out there? I don't get any clicking or other noise. It may be because I am using the Hiface 2 USB-coax converter which then feeds my DAC. Damien and the website may help sort through this problem. | |
| Any Audirvana Plus enthusiasts out there? Audivana Plus is a giant leap forward in sound reproduction from computer stored music. I have heard most of them and once I heard this version I stopped looking further. Each of the softwares (Pure Music, Bitperfect, etc.) has a bit of a signatur... | |
| Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak In my placebo controlled double blind studies Fruity Pebbles produced a statistically significant improvement over Magic Pebbles. This study is soon to be published in Paranormal Magazine. | |

| Tube Mono-Block Recommendation Again, Al is right on. I am amused at amplifier reviews. It is a fact that the tonality of an amplifier changes dramatically with the speaker used. If the reviewer isn't using your exact speaker in a similar room with your speaker cables, the revi... | |
| Pink Floyd on Pandora Thanks for that. As much as I love Pandora, I will not subscribe if it helps their profits at the expense of artists' income. I am a Pandora One subscriber, but that could change. | |
| Recommended Interconnects for Multi-Channel Second the Blue Jeans. It is very expensive to run 6 or 7 or 9 cables. If your 103 is close to the processor, I believe it can't be a factor. BJ cables LC-1 is solid core, low capacitance, shielded (because these cables are usually exposed to powe... |
