| Speaker cable connectors? What exactly do they do? I agree with Jig that no connector is best although wiring directly to crossover seems a tad difficult. I prefer to use bare wire connected to speaker terminals but use bananas to amp to facilitate changes in cable.I would bet most Agon members do... | |
| Why do some DACs have transformers? I had a Bitwise DAC with three transformers. It was a sweet sounding unit. Why the heck did I sell it? | |
| Standmounts - $1000-$1400 CAD range Owned the VR-1s for a while and never thought of them as bright. More like neutral to warm. Glad to hear your circumstances have changed for the better. Good Luck | |
| what's your latest music "score" Albertporter,Thanks for response. I'll check it out for sure along with a few selections from the Sugarcubes. | |
| Small room Speaker suggestions In my small room the listening postion is between 7 and 8 feet depending on recline angle. This is the minimum distance Meadowlark recommended in the owner's manual. It sounds fine o me as did the Vandersteens. The 1Cs regularly sell for less the ... | |
| Small room Speaker suggestions After checking out your system I would like to share my thoughts as I have a dedicated audio room of similar proportions (11X12) to yours. My experience follows. I tried several stand mounted monitors but was never satisfied with their sound. By a... | |
| what's your latest music "score" Albertporter, "Post" is an one of those that starts strong and plays all the way through while "homogenic" takes a little more effort. If I might ask Albert, which of Bjorks other pieces would you recommend? Thanks. | |
| Arcam Solo Any thoughts CD transports unreliable? I still have the first cd player (Technics) I purchased back in 86. It's in my grandsons bedroom and working fine. Even the remote still works.If the solo uses the Sony transport, it's probably gonna run for the life of t... | |
| what's your latest music "score" Bjork's "Homogenic" and "Post," together for less than $10. Love them both and will now look for more from this odd creature. Also The Bad Plus "These Are the Vistas." Even though I'm not a big jazz fan this music gets me. Hey Dawgfish, have you l... | |
| Our we Lazy? It depends on what you're in this hobby for. I just want to listen to some good music on a decent sounding system without the hassle of chasing minute daily changes in sytem performance. A nice solid state integrated amp does that just fine.By day... | |
| Used SS Integrated for classical music under $500 Good choices listed so far. I've owned the Audio Refinement Complete and think it is an excellent choice. I'm currently using the Roksan Kandy III, if you find it in your price range don't hesitate for a second. | |
| underrated or unheard of musician/band Dan Bern, his stuff is funny, touching, satirically biting. Sometimes all in the same song. Also Patrick Park. My daughter let me borrow "Loneliness Knows My Name,' and she's not getting it back. It's kind of a throwback sound, check it out. | |
| Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art? Instead of listing the many forgotten albums purchased for cover art I'll just give the first that I recall. King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King, it's the album with the large painted face that I couldn't pass up. Must've been 1970 or s... | |
| Pardigm 60v.2, Meadowlark Hot Rod Shearwater Well I owned the Paradigm Studio 60 V.2s a year ago or maybe longer and currently have the Shearater Hot Rods in my system. IMHO i feel the Shearwaters to be much more refined, I can hear much further into the music while the 60s can really pump o... | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? I purchased several speakers without auditioning them and have only been disatisfied once. Believe it or not it was a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Signatures. Although they sound fine, they were way to big for my room. Actually like Gmood1, the speaker... |
