| Anyone heard or own Aurum Cantus Harmonys? I have not heard the Harmony's, but I have heard the monitors and was very impressed, especially with tube electronics. The configurations of multiple base drivers in any brand is very hard to properly pull off. So, find a dealer that can demo bot... | |
| Stylus under a scanning electron microscope Just went into business, $25.00 per scan picture, e-mailed to your address. Drop off and pick up service only. Done while you wait. Interested? | |
| ProAc Studio 140's or Response D15's? I have both the 140's and 1Sc's, which I use in the same room, alternatively. Room is 12 x 13. In my room, the base on the 140's is better then the 1Sc's. Mid range on the 1sc's is better then the 140's. I also have a center channel 140. I had hea... | |
| Best location setup of turntable Another room, on an inexpensive computer printer table! If any part of the sound can get to the cartridge, you will have colored the sound. Same goes for tube amplifiers, if the sound can get to the tubes. So, try out the relocation to see if the ... | |
| What Subwoofer is the best bang for the buck? Parts Express, any model, especially the 10" at $125 | |
| What to expect in a TT upgrade? | |
| SACD & DVDA done? No Virginia, SACD is not dead. Many three channel hybirds will be released in the years to come of some of the great 50's, 60's and 70's jazz that were originally recorded in three channel momo. Try Miles/Blue and will be be amazed. | |
| Who can analyze the condition of my old cartridge? You really can't, without risking destructive testing. After a cartridge is older then ten years, the rubber is shot. Stylus wear is easy to look at, but the tip and shank connection is another crap shoot. Best to sell the lot on ebay, as is. | |
| Best Ceiling Speakers? Many brands but be sure to get ones that the tweeter assembly is adjustable to fire in the direction of the seating. Makes a big difference. If you are going to have a grid ceiling there is a flat panel 2 x2 speaker that is sold made by Armstrong,... | |
| Spikes between speakers & stands, up or down? I have three sets of stands, all spiked into the floor. All are used with ProAc speakers, three different model sets. Two sets have spikes up. The latter stands are Chicago brand, four three quarter inch post, 24 inch high, filled with lead shot. ... | |
| mcintosh MT10 turntable good or not. The Mc is re-branded clearaudio stuff with a blue face, they have added nothing to the state of the art, except high cost. At least when Marantz needed a table it just took the stock player and added its name. But, if you need a blue face, just go... | |
| Shipping damage protocol? Please Help. Sounds like the middle, as a pending resolution makes sense. Not withstanding A's policy, it has problems in that until UPS makes a damage assessment, the matter is still open. It will not be the first time that seller's have sent damaged goods, h... | |
| Whats your "best of CES 2008" stuff in the VAS room | |
| tube CD player for tube integrated amp? Also check out the Cal Labs Alpha/delta combo. | |
| "mini" monitors for Primaluna prologue two I suggest looking for a used pair of ProAc 1sc's. They will 'sing' with tubes, as mine do. I run them from VAS mono blocks. I also have run them from the Cayin 88. In addition to the 1sc's, I have ProAc 140's, a floor stander. Both of the amps sou... |
