| speaker grilles I think all speaker sound better with grills off. Theil is another that says they designed with the grills in place. I think it is a sales pitch. It's like "hey we build such a great speaker and design such a great cabinet that our speakers sound ... | |
| A short afternoon of Linn, Basis and Redpoint Interesting report, George. I have only recently listened to the LP12 and a VPI Scoutmaster and the Linn sounded better but it may have been setup. I do want to listen to the Basis and some Clearaudio TT's but haven't found the time. I did a head ... | |
| Marantz 9500 I had the 8300 trade to the 8400 and now have the 9500. The biggest improvement I can see is the video. The SACD and DVD-A seem to be about the same, maybe just a little better imaging at best. However as a DVD player it , in my opinion, excells t... | |
| What makes a speaker perform well at low volume? Second the good amp but add a very neutral cable | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Linn Ikemi, I purchased it based on it's analog sound or non-digital sound. All though I would like to get a universal player that sounds as good on redbook the only one I have heard that comes close is the Escoteric DV50 in full upsample mode. | |
| Best HT subwoofer betwwen $2k-3k? I don't think you can beat the sound, quality, adjustability and set-up features of the DD-12 by Velodyne.Mine works great for music and theater. Retail 3K | |
| I've got a hum in my Sunfire sub..... Mine doesn't know the words either! Actually a buddy of mine has one and it was doing the same thing. He contacted Sunfire they have a flat fee of 250 or 295 I forget, but they will repair it and in his case they put in new updated amplifier. He s... | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? In comparison to what? They are a good product for the money. They are better than Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer Elite etc., but they are not going to compete with McIntosh, Krell, etc in their price range. I would say they compete well with Parasound, H... | |
| Rega RB-300 Counterweight Second the J.A.Michell counterweight. Totally different design and all weight is placed below the center line of the tonearm center horizontal plane. I have it on my RB600 and what a difference it made in detail, base response and clearity | |
| Best budget universal CD/DVD player? Beernutas an owner of the 9500 I think you will be pleasantly suprised. I have owned the 83 and 8300 and it is clearly a better machine. | |
| Marantz DV8400 vs Pioneer DV-59avi Mchd1The 9500 exceeds the performance of the 8400 considerably and the 59avi as well since they were both the same transport. They had the 12/108 v-chip and the 9500 has the 14/216 and it is clearly(no pun) better. The color and depth of the pictu... | |
| 10/3 or 10/2 to each outlet? The subpanel is great idea. Then I would run the 10/2 which will allow you to use both poles of the panel and i would also just wire each outlet as circuit. You will never overload each circuit and use a 20 amp breaker, the 30 amp might make your ... | |
| Marantz DV8400 vs Pioneer DV-59avi I owned a DV8300 which I compared to the 59avi and the SACD sound was better on the marantz. Then I traded to the 8400 and now the 9500. I never really tried redbook on either since I already had a Linn Ikemi for that format. I do own a Elite PDR1... | |
| Aurios Isotone Bearings I tried a set for a few days under my Ikemi CD and it was the first time I had ever had the player skip. I tried them under my P25 and I couldn't walk in the house because of the skipping but I did hear a tighter quicker bass. So maybe if you have... |
