| listening to music in the car My car audio system consists of a McIntosh head unit, Focal Utopia speakers (the car audio equivalent to JM Labs Utopia line), and an ARC Audio amp (which I chose for its relatively warm and full bodied sound). While I enjoy it, it does not sound ... | |
| Buzz/Hum from Cary SLI-80 I used to own an SLI-80 and it was silent. Is there a cable tv coaxial cable nearby causing the hum? | |
| Warm speakers? If warm means "non-fatiguing" and not forward sounding, you might want to consider a pair of Quad ESLs. I have a 15 by 13 room. I just got a Portal Panache. It is a very nice match with my Quads. The midrange combination of the Panache and Quads i... | |
| Proceed AVP2 locked up solution ? I am also a second owner. Madrigal honored the warranty for me. The problem just happened, last October. My situation might be different than yours in that I purchased mine, used, from an authorized Levinson dealer, and the dealer arranged the rep... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? Kr4, For an excellent primer on the differences between ribbons, planars, and electrostats, see the following link, beginning on page 10: http://www.eminent-tech.com/Manuals/LFT-8Manual.PDF | |
| Proceed AVP2 locked up solution ? By the way, I am pretty sure that a power surge caused my problem. Did you notice anything with the power prior to your problem arising? | |
| Proceed AVP2 locked up solution ? I had the same exact problem - flashing red light and all. I am technically challenged, so I sent it to Madrigal. They fixed it within a week of receiving it and shipped it back promptly. If it is not an inconvenience, I would call Madrigal and se... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? Correction: As noted above, the Apogees (and Maggie IIIa's) are ribbons, and not planars. I think Audio Asylum, which I read alot, got me associating planars with ribbons because they title their forum the "Planar" forum, although ribbons and elec... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? They are very nice speakers. I agree that they make the music sound "live." I feel that detail and transparency of the Stages are top notch. I disagree with your statement about the detail of the speakers. Like the cliche goes, it is like putting ... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music I just finished my search for a good 2 Channel processor. I owned the following: Lexicon CP-2. CP-3. DC-1 and DC-2; Cary P-7; and the Proceed AVP and AVP-2 Plus 6. The Proceed AVP, which is in your budget range, would be my preferred pre-pro. Imag... | |
| Best amp s for Quad 988 please? I second the EL34 recommendation. I have a Cary V12R with my 988s that really mske the music palpable/holographic. I have never felt the need to crank the volume on my preamp past the 10:00 to 11:00 position. I also tried a Dynaco ST-70 that worke... | |
| Proceed AMP5 in protective mode Is your amp less than 5 years old? Harman Specialty Group honors Proceed warranties, at least that has been my recent experience with my AVP-2. | |
| Mapleshade Samson racks? I have the 3 shelf Sampson rack with the 4" maple shelf and isoblocks on top. The rack is the 26" x 19" size. It is very heavy and stable in my room. My floor is concrete and carpet. I have a VPI Aires II with the JMW 9 unipivot arm sitting on top... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Turntable Hum, Help I had a similar problem with my Aries II. Are you using a MM cartridge? A MC cartridge should eliminate the hum. I replaced my Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood MM cartridge with a Dynavector 20VX-H MC cartridge, and the hum was eliminated. I wanted to be ... | |
| TV talk - Reliable TV - Tube, LCD, plasma... I have the 30 inch version of the Sony for my bedroom. The picture is very, very nice. The stretch modes, which converts 4:3 to 16:9, are excellent. I prefer the wide screen mode to 4:3. If you settle on a 16:9 tv, be sure to check out the stretch... |
