| Efficient Bookshelfs on a budget? Sorry, didn't read your post thoroughly. I would forget about speakers until funds would allow you to purchase a separate amplifier/processor. | |
| Efficient Bookshelfs on a budget? Sound Dynamics 300ti. No longer manufactured, will have to find it used. A great performer! | |
| Is There Such A Thing... Highly agree with 1markr. . .spend your money on tunes! | |
| Audioquest DBS or Anaylsis Plus Solo Crystal Changing to the Solo Crystal Oval 8 ICs and spkr. cables was a move toward neutrality and better musical clarity over my previous Discovery Signature cables. | |
| What's the best way to clean vacuum tube pins? 1markr must be most proficient with the Dremel; however, using some extra-fine steel wool by hand works very well too. And don't forget to treat with some high conductance stuff such as Caig mentioned above. That will help protect the cleaned pins... | |
| Best digital cable to go for? I would go BNC. I will have to check out my cable at home as it is not a "name-brand" cable but a custom made cable using super-high bandwidth wire from a company in Colorado. | |
| What's the 'ideal' room size? Go to the Cardas Website, George has some good, sound info on this. I believe www.cardas.com.Have fun. | |
| "Emotionally involving" music and your system... Yes, Tim Mahoney and Alice Peacock. Two midwestern regional performers. I have heard both live and have their works on CD. My system does give me an emotional experience with these artists, but admittedly, not quite like the live performances. | |

| Are Apogee Scintilla Speakers worth purchasing If you have an arc welder to drive them! I think today's panels/electrostatics are much better than the Apogees such as Innersound. | |
| XRCD, can I play it on regular CD player? Absolutely. | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? Yeah, a Sony CDP-302, now residing with much dust at my sister and brother-in-law's house. | |
| Need good speaker cable for modest system. Agree with Mikesinger re: Discovery. I have some six foot lengths of Discovery Signature Speaker cable which is a step up from 1-2-3 if you are interested. | |
| What is te absolute best way to hook up a sub? There is NO ABSOLUTE way to hook up a sub. | |
| Next Biggest Improvement after Speakers ? Your source is most important, IMO. |
