| How far apart are your speakers? Six feet, center. Very little toe-in. | |
| Speaker Cable-The Best of the Cheap? Go for the Canare 4S11. Great cable for the price. | |
| Best Budget Choice for Preamp w/MC Built-In? Sorry for the mmistake. Mine was the CA-5 preamp. There is one listed here on Audiogon for $125 if it's still available. That is a good price if memory serves. The unit I had was purchased off ebay and was in poor cosmetic shape. When I sold it wi... | |
| replace vandersteen 2ce signature I had a somewhat similar experience. I started out with the 1cs and upgraded to the 2ce sigs. Unfortunately they were just too darn big in my room. It was probably because of the room size but I actually preferred the sound of the smaller 1cs. Any... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll Listening to Steve Earl's "The Revolution Starts Now." Definitely qualifies for this thread. | |
| Best Budget Choice for Preamp w/MC Built-In? I have owned three of the preamps your looking at. The Nak C-5A, Adcom GFP-555II, and the Yamaha CX-600 and CX-630. Dang I can't believe I've owned all of those myself. In order of preference, I think the Nak is far above all the rest in sound and... | |
| Do Audiophiles really like music? Reubent answered the question exactly as I see it. I would like to respond to Bojack. I listen to my system nearly every day but have little inclination to attend live music events. When I do attend concerts it's more about the emotion of the even... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll Willie Nelson -- TeatroJust wanted to add one so I can check the thread easier for other input. Good idea for a thread BTW. | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? A while back I went the player with DAC route and had this experience: I had three DACs, an Adcom GDA-700 with HDCD, a PS Audio (forgot model #) with HDCD and a Bitstream (forget model #) without HDCD. The Bitstream DAC was head and shoulders abov... | |

These were the best used speaker I found in your price range (maybe lower depending on condition)and I tried some very respected speakers. Very neutral, bass is there when called... | |
| Heatshrink on Audioquest speaker cables Use a box knife or very sharp knife and carefully slice the shrink tubing lengthwise to remove it. I've done this with several Audioquest cables but not the Midnight. All of the AQ cables I've reterminated had the individual wires labeled as trebl... | |
| Best color s to paint dedicated listening room I agree with Hamr on the green. We seem to do more painting/changing than most and the color I recall most favorably was a rich green. The room was deep red, then green and lastly an earth tone. The green was the most soothing. We're moving in Apr... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? I'm keeping my eyes open for an upgrade from my NAD C-541i player. HDCD is one of the more important options the new player must have. Many cds out there, with no HDCD marking, light up the HDCD indicator. Search the archives here for lists of HDC... | |
| new to phono.. Can I hook one up to my preamp? Madmanbmw if you haven't clicked on the system icon next to Rauliruegas' name do it now. This gentleman knows vinyl! Beware you don't get hooked. | |
| What are your Meadowlark Audio Kestrel Hot Rods. I purchased these almost two years ago at a fantastic price because of cosmetic issues. These little speakers get out of the way and just produce beautiful music. I've owned other quality speakers and will upgrad... |
