| Is cheap, smooth, digital sound possible? Sony Playstation 1. Smooth, cheap, no fatigue. | |
| Quicksilver Contact Enhancer FYI, Jena Labs warns against using it due to possible shorting out problems.http://www.jenalabs.com/info/metalic-warning.html | |
| Odyssey Lorelei vs Von Scheikert Vr4jr I concur with Phil Brady on the aspect of bass. So many factors, the room, the amp, the placement. With my Bel Cantos the bass is deep, detailed and articulate. With test tones and a RS meter, it measures -6 dB at 20 Hz and -3 dB at 25 Hz. | |
| Headphones: Preamp that has no headphone output With my Modwright pre-amp I use the tape outs because the standard RCA outs run through the linestage and are amplified. Feel free to experiment depending on the outputs you have. | |
| Is it BAD to place CDP/DVP on top of RCVR? It is wrong for a couple of reasons. Heat is almost always a factor because once you place a unit on top of the receiver you will affect the airflow. In addition you have the issues of large power supplies which may not be adequately shielded, and... | |
| Receiver with Audyssey My experience with the Onkyo 805 has been outstanding. More than enough I/O, crystal clear sound, no stability issues, automatic equalizer built in, deep bass with no glare. Hard to beat for under $1K. | |
| Von Schweikert VR1 vs Dynaudio Focus 110 I have not heard the Focus in my room. I didn't care for them in the showroom, but who knows? I love my VR-1s. I have run them with a Creek 5350 SE which is 80 W/ch and a Outlaw M200 at 200 W/ch. I haven't tried them with tubes, which I hear is ev... | |
| old Aragon vs new I was emotionally attached to my Stage One, until I had to unplug and reset it at least weekly. The older Mondial Aragon equipment has a reputation for reliability that the newer units do not have. Some of the older models has been in use for many... | |
| Sony SCD-1 through headphones novice question I agree with Purk. RCA out from the Sony to RCA in on the X-Can. There is a very wide range of pricing for amps. I have been researching myself. Some of the most respected brands are Singlepower, Woo Audio, Ray Samuels, Dark Voice, Little-Dot, Ant... | |
| Stereophile Class A and Frequency Response B&W has always been a favorite of Stereophile and they do make great speakers. However, to include a speaker with limited bass in that category is misleading, at best. By their own measurements, the 802D is -10 dB at 20 Hz!http://www.stereophi... | |
| outlaw m2200/m200 - good for pure stereo? I used the M200 monoblocks for several years before upgrading. They are excellent for the money. There is a lot of competition, including Emotiva. You will be happy with the Outlaws and then you can upgrade later. i moved them to the surround spea... | |
| Which headphone amp is technically superior? Help I agree with all dcstep has said. I don't believe that specifications will tell you anything about a headphone amp, how it sounds or if you will like it. The combination of headphones and amps is so critical and the synergy between the two is ever... | |
| VR-1 vs Onix Ref 1?? I see no response thus far. I can speak to the VR-1 combination with the Jolida 1501 RC. It wasn't to my liking, somewhat dull and lacking dynamics and a sense of space around the instruments. I was quite limited in my room, so that may have been ... | |
| What's better than the Jolida JD100 Very nice pictures, Robbob! I am curious if your Stratos cooks your Rogue? | |
| Room Issues All of the responses to date are reasonable, but I have a different approach. When a room poses such difficult problems, I prefer stand mounted monitors and a musical sub for near field listening, or headphones. Some rooms leave you with too many ... |
