| Ah Njoe Tjoeb Not Playing CDR's I don't understand why the CDP is not playing CD-Rs. I have an Ah Njoe Tjoeb CDP with the upsampler that I bought this past year. It plays every CD-Rs that I have tried. You may ask Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio about it. He has always been very hel... | |
| Arcam receiver vs. Outlaw separates I have the Outlaw M200 amps Dynaudio Audience 70s. I found the Arcam was quite different with those speakers. You will need to audition if you can. My description: Arcam is a bit softer and forgiving, maybe a "British" sound, if there is such a th... | |
| Outlaw 990 + Dynaudio + Crown I believe the 990 would be a good match for you. I tried the 900 when it was released but it was too early in the production run and there were problems. I was lucky to have found an Aragon Stage one instead. I have the Dynaudio 70s, 122C and Para... | |
| Best and largest inventory used dealer Nsgarch,Why Audio Asylum? I have been looking at phono pre-amps for awhile. AA has 6 listed. Agon has 162 (not counting those that are already sold but still listed). | |
| Speaker on its side as a center? In my view, all center speakers are compromized by their position above or below the TV. However, most of the material played by the center is dialogue with some special effects. The best position is to get it as close as possible to the height of... | |
| Velodyne SPL 800 II vs. REL quake/Q108E I have the REL Q 108 E matched with Von SChweikert VR-1s in a room that is 10' x 13' with a vaulted ceiling. I have been happy with the REL playing below 40 Hz to augment the bookshelf speakers. I haven't heard the Velodyne. Good luck! | |
| Onix Rocket UFW-12? I have the Hsu Research VTF-3 Mark II in Rosewood. I am very, very pleased. My room is similar, 17' x 25' x 9' but with an opening at the back of one side. I bought it mostly for music and it blends well with my Dynaudio 70s. It is great that you ... | |
| Do speakers have to "warm-up" too? Audioholics did an interesting piece on measuring cone movements and frequency responses with and without break in. http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/loudspeakers/SpeakerBreakIn.phpTheir conclusion: no difference. But, it still c... | |
| Digital or analog audio connection to receiver? Experiment with analog input using the player's DAC vs. the digital input using the receivers DAC and use which ever one you like the most. There are arguments both ways on whether optical or wire digital connection is best. Personally, I don't th... | |
| Speaker stands for Reference 3A De Capo i I would experiment with different heights to find the best one. Sometimes, slightly above ear level sounds better, depending on the vertical dispersion characteristics of your speaker. Also, I recommend spending money on the heaviest and most soli... | |
| CD care - cleaning and scratch repair So far the Disc Doctor has successfully repaired three discs that I loaned my son. They ended up in the floorboard of his car. even so, they were not totally trashed, some of the songs would play. Now all of them play. | |
| Subwoofer recommendation Hsu Research. | |
| Receiver Recommendation Outlaw Audio has a new receiver. I have some of their other gear, but not this one. Great service and prices. Generous return policy if you don't like it. | |
| to base or not to base. Thats why subwoofers were invented. It is not realistic to have great bass and subsonic frequencies/harmonics without a sub unless you want to spend many thousands of dollars. It takes large cones or long cone excursions to produce long waves. My ... | |
