| The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard? First I need to insert the word owned for heard in your question as I don't consider auditioning speakers for short periods worth all that much. After establishing that; Revel M-20. | |
| Best Super-Tweek You Possibly Ever Did Placed my sub on a 3 inch thick maple block with sorbothane pad between. Now I hear bass notes clearly instead of a subwoofer booming out low frequencies. | |
| Reissue recordings with added tracks I was having a similar thought recently when listening to The Byrds' "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo." The bonus tracks add very little to the listening experience.While we're at it, since the advent of the cd most recordings are just too long. It was ha... | |
| any nitty gritty dirt band fans out there Also have the "Circle" sets. Volume Two is one of my all time favorite albums. I haven't heard much else by them though. | |
| "Tube Like" SS Integrated Amps Portal Panache used. | |
| any other XLR interconnects i should demo? I have a few pairs of balanced cables sitting around with nothing to do. If you'd care to check them out send me an email and I'll loan them to you. Not really looking to sell them and they aren't in the same price class as the other suggestions b... | |
| Green light from spouse - now what Glory's wife, now that's funny. I had to show this thread to my wife, who has no interest at all in my hobby. Her reaction to Kipdent's system pics was "oh my God." She agrees with you. | |
| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia This thread makes me yearn for my old Sansui B-2101 amp. What a beast that was for me back in the late 80s with a power meter similar to the Yamaha's. If I recall, driving low impedance loads was a Yamaha selling point back then. | |
| Best Integrated Under $3000 If you buy used at a good price then you can't loose. If you don't like it or want to try a different flavor, just sell it and buy another one.Have fun... this isn't rocket surgery.Except for the misspelling of lose, I agree with Lokie. After goin... | |
| How much are your speakers toed in? My speakers are 8 inches wide. There is a 5/8 inch difference in the distance to the back from the speaker's outer edge, one side to the other. Who can do the math and tell me the toe in angle? | |
| Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters? 07-30-09: AdamgJust pre-ordered the stereo (17 discs) AND mono (13 discs) boxed sets as I couldn't be certain which would sound superiorHey, you can send me the inferior batch when you decide. | |
| Preamp and DAC combination for upgrade Just a thought here, put the PS Audio Trio A-100 amp in the mix with your other Class D options. They are so reasonably priced I am using two of them in bi-amp configuration. I am using a Bel Canto Pre3 into the A-100 balanced inputs. In a small r... | |
| Transitioning from Tubes back to SS While I can't argue with those who suggest the amp needs break in before switching back to solid state, I can relate to you situation. I tried a tube amp for the first time about a month ago. The sound was fine but my main complaint was how much h... | |
| DACs with volume control ? The Proceed DAC. | |
| Best next step to upgrade sound? At this time I am using two PS Audio Trio A-100 class D amps to bi-amp my Kestrel Hot Rod speakers. So far so good. When I first hooked them up I was a bit concerned as they are so small and quiet I wasn't sure how they would sound. I'm thinking o... |
