| Wet speaker cables Just checked your system. an I hope those Utopias weren't damaged.Not sure about the insurance covering the cables but I had a water damage in my house after a pipe burst a few months ago. I was amazed at how generous my insurance adjuster was. It... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? At that price? Buy it! Buy it now!I drive by a small church everyday and look at it thinking how cool it would be if it went up for sale. My wife would never go for it, but I can dream. | |
| Most musical CD / album ? need recommendation Here's a thread with suggestions for perfect albums start to finish.Enjoy. | |
| Polk Audio I tried to sell the LSi9's, but got no offers, so ended up giving them away.McondonMcondon, no idea what you expected to get for your Polks but I just watched a pair of LSi9s sell on ebay for $650. | |
| New rack or power conditioner I was going to recommend swapping out the MDF for slate pieces until I read your comment saying you're tired of the look. My rack is similar but with slate shelves. very heavy and solid feel. They pass the knuckle test with no ringing, just a dull... | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases If you check the link I gave in my first response you may find a used amp for sale. Over the past few months I have seen 3 or 4 come up for sale at what looked to be a little less than the cost of parts. Gotta be quick though, as they go fast. | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases I purchased one of Ghent's amps a couple years ago. No complaint for the price and he was easy to deal with. But I would concur with G's "matter of fact" assessment of the modules used in bare box. No comparison to the Bel Canto Ref500 amp with th... | |
| Polk Audio They have zero snob appeal. That's Polk's main problem. I bought a pair of Polk Audio speakers back in the late 70's when I couldn't afford the Advents I was lusting after. They were wonderful speakers for the time. Polk got to big for the hi-end ... | |
| SSSHHHH They just don't make music like this anymore!PopsToo true!Had a copy of that one back in the day. Haven't seen it since 72' or so. Makes me wonder where it went.I just checked your system Pops. Wow, I can only imagine how Ten Years After sounds li... | |
| Marantz PM-15S2b first thoughts Very nice write up Nonoise. I have a good feeling for the sound of the amp through your words. SOunds like you found your amp. | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases Agree with you Doggie. Actually, should've stated I had one of the many clones of the Ref1000M. I preferred the amps using the cheaper 200ASC modules to the 1000ASP versions. No accounting for taste. | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases I have owned several ICE amps, including the Bel Canto S500 which uses two of the 125asx2 modules. That was the cleanest sounding amp I have ever owned; the proverbial straight wire with gain. Kind of left me cold I guess as I sold it after less t... | |
| dac to cdp quality ratio Mostly happy withn what I have, better cables have helped , but still trying to fix an occasional harshness? I hear on some cds,Some cds just sound harsh, it's the way they're mastered. A better dac probably won't fix that.As for the $250 budget, ... | |
| The right amplifier for Quad 12L Classic How big is the room the speakers will be used in is an important bit of info if you are looking at the 22L as well as the 11L. That being said, I have owned the 11L, 12L and 21L and in an 11X13X8 room the 12Ls were my favorites. They had the best ... | |
| Music Server now bane of my existence As for the risk - both backups are unused in storage and therefore safe and I cannot end up worse than you are, since I have original CDs. In case of disaster or theft you will loose all you CDs or LPs while I will still have my files. What is saf... |
