| Can good speakers take edge off digital? Best tweak I did for my cd player: brass footers. The mapleshade variety - heavier the better. Completely took the 'glare' off of vocals and certain frequencies. | |
| suggestions for warm cd player I would suggest a YBA player. Have not heard the newer "YBA Design" players -- I'm referring to the older YBA classics or Integre series. Renowned for musicality. I picked one up recently and am test driving it now. The sound fits your description. | |
| Looking for reasonably priced sound diffusion. I made a 2' x 4' panel from the MIO diffusion tiles to attach to the front of the large flat screen TV in front of me and between the speakers (my living room doubles for my HT and stereo room). I did this to try and counteract the sound reflectio... | |
| Newbie question - equipment with good resale value Buconcero, my vote for the agon bluebook was private seller to private buyer, not dealer. It is an invaluable resource, in that it is what most of us use and consult. Whether you believe it's 'shallow' or incorrect in this case I don't think matte... | |
| Have you heard of EMOTIVA? Lonnie Vaughn is their in-house engineer, unless things have changed. They manufacture their stuff in China to keep costs down. I got into H/T with them and there's a lot of bang for buck. Do a search on this forum for Emotiva and you'll come up w... | |
| Newbie question - equipment with good resale value I second the bluebook option above. Spend the few bucks for the annual membership. It's an invaluable reference point. | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? Listening to music in a completely dark room seems/feels weird to me. I have never gone to a concert played in total darkness, so hearing music that way seems a bit odd. The few times I've tried it, I just got sleepy :)I like low light and I take ... | |
| KRK ERGO Perhaps that could mean that your room is already well treated and/or acoustically correct? | |
| KRK ERGO You can easily hit the focus/wide button to turn it off and on | |
| Any suggestions on Tube Buffers? Viridian makes an excellent point! that is the primary reason for a 'buffer' - tubed or otherwise. In fact the BBA I alluded to stood for Buffer Booster Amplifier, and was made specifically for impedance compatibility. a common use for this is bet... | |
| Any suggestions on Tube Buffers? I agree with above post. I owned an EE minimax BBA, arguably one of the better buffers out there. Inevitably you will be adding another component to the chain and purposely coloring the signal (or compensate for it, depending on how you want to lo... | |
| Anyone in the Central Ca? Dude, it is ON. go to centralcoastaudioclub - com | |
| Aperion Audio T6 VS NHT Classic Four Both are good and certainly not 'overpriced audiophile speakers'. The NHT gets my vote. Had a pair, briefly. The 10" side firing woofer coupled to essentially the Classic 3 monitor (a fave among reviewers) gave, from memory, a very smooth, non-fat... | |
| Speaker separation versus listening distance?? sorry, meant speaker distance to listening distance. IOW, listening distance is a little further away | |
| Speaker separation versus listening distance?? The Wilson WASP method says between 1:1.1 and 1:1.25 listener distance to speaker distance. Link |
