| Cable with Neutrik Speakon connector If you have a cable you like, this is a very easy DIY project. I bought my REL sub used and the seller neglected to include the cable. Piece of cake to build one. | |
| Sturdy sub - $50 in-ear headphones? My recommendation is a set of theseKlipschearphones. Very good for the money. I can't really speak to their ruggedness but mine are more than a year old with no issues. | |
| "The Heat Pipes are coming"... The Heat Pipes are I love a good resurrection. And just in time for the hot summer months. | |
| R.E.M. - "Automatic for the People" My go-to sites for questions like this woulde be Steve Hoffman Forum and Discogs.Roscoeiii+1I discovered that site about a year ago. Fantastic place. | |
| Cleaning the equipment When I buy something used I always remove the cover and clean the inside. I also use the opportunity to take some pics for future use. And not just if I decide to resell, I just like seeing how things are put together and comparing them to other p... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? After owning speakers of many different designs and flavors, I'll take musical. The speakers I use don't look nearly as good on paper as some of the others but they sound much better to my ear. Actually, instead of the term musical, I describe the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C There is a pair of MWTs listed on AudioAsylum's classified section now for $550. No affiliation with seller, just thought I'd mention it.I have owned the Vandy 1Cs (twice) and feel they are fantastic for the money. | |
| Downward facing subwoofer on carpet, bad idea? I tried my REL sub both ways, over carpet and next stting on a large tile, the carpet is my preference. It's easy enough to check yourself to see/hear which works best for you. | |
| Idol fans weigh in ChayroI think the show is a joke.+1With zero criticism, how can you take it seriously? Sure, there are some decent "singers," but they can be found anywhere. | |
| Buying top brands's older CD players: Pros& Con I use a Resolution Audio CD-50, it's more than ten years old but I haven't heard a cdp I like better and I have heard many. I purchased an extra laser to ensure the machine's longevity. | |
| Mini Monitors under $500 used I'm currently listening to a pair of Usher S-520s. Pretty darn good for the money. Real lookers also. | |
| Small wall-mount speaker recommendations? I use a pair of Gallo Diva ti speakers mated to the Galo MPS-150 sub with very good results. They more than met my expectations considering their size. Very easy to hide or mount in odd places. | |
| XLD ripping slowly My XLD rips seem to have slowed down after the last update. The last rip took more than 30 minutes, normally they finish in just a few minutes. Is this an every time occurrence? I won't rip without XLD. Are you sure you didn't rip it 3 times? ;) | |
| Increasing height of stand-mount -- what to expect It depends on the speakers. Of course the general rule is to have your ears at the same height of the tweeters but with two particular speakers I have found this didn't work. My Silverline SR11s sounded much better with the tweeter raised a few in... | |
| suggestions for updating via DAC..... It would be helpful to know what you are missing with the NAD? A few years ago I owned the C541i and thought it was great for the $. |
