| Bookshelf vs Floorstanders Look, if your going to be serious about this hobby/sickness you need to get both. I have been using a pair of monitors for about two months now and just this evening though I'd get the Kestrels out of the closet. They are singing now. They'll prob... | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ? Granosalis, I sent you some pics as requested. Let me know where you post them. | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ? Granosalis, thanks for that info. The module shown in the Fedeltà Del Suono pics looks like the one in my 500S. The 500S has two of them. Looks can be deceiving though as the modules used in the 300S and 300M look alike until you look closely. The... | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ? Guido, The 500S uses the newer ASX2 module. I was curious so I opened mine up for a look. As for the 500M, I would be interested to know. It would be nice if Bel Canto were a bit more forth coming with this info on their web site. | |
| PSB vs Thiel 2.2/3.6 -- Any thoughts? StevechamTime and phase coherence matters to me so it is a no brainer. My sentiment exactly. I've tried many different speakers but always come back to time and phase aligned speakers. The simpler the crossover the better also. My only problem wit... | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ? The two amps use totally different ICE modules so you would expect they sound different. If you haven't alreadt done so, check here for info on the two modules. Plenty of specs for you to go through but IMO the newer ASX2 series modules used in th... | |
| Good speakers for a small room? Recently picked up a pair of Soliloquy 5.0s with dedicated stands for $400 on ebay. Fantastic in a small room. Mine are mated with a James EMB-1000 sub.Now I have two pairs of speakers that I'll never sell. | |
| I want a warmer high end Also a previous Paradigm Studio 60 v.2 owner. They were too bright for me, irritating really. I never really tried some of the advice mentioned above so it may work for you.As for speaker recommendations, I'll give you the three models I found to ... | |
| HDCD VS SACD I just finished listening to "Life On A String" by Laurie Anderson. One of the best sounding cds in my collection. Probably listened to this cd 25 times but for some reason tonight is the first time I noticed the HDCD light on my cdp.On well recor... | |
| why does digital volume control cause loss in info So from my perspective the benefits of analog over well implemented digital volume control become theoretical in most cases (as you cannot actually hear it in a real room although you might measure it with an oscilloscope)ShadorneShadorne, Wow! Th... | |
| In the meantime Can't comment on the sonic quality but it sure won't hurt anything. Neither the amp nor the speakers will be harmed. | |
| Non-ported sealed cabinet speakers NHT - SB-3. | |
| Best Song Intro The Beatles - Revolution. For years I thought John Lennon gave us that magnificent intro, then I saw a video where Paul McCartney steps up to the mic and belts out that scream. | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? Although I have read all the responses at one time, not sure if I've seen Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On." Revisited this a few times in the last week. It comes very close. | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? Low light. Every once in a while I turn the lights off but for some reason I can hear the soundstage better with my eyes open in low light. |
