| Best way to clean speakers Driver cones are magnesium , tweeter is aluminum alloy , it dose not look like it , it's black , tweeters have been modified . I'm not sure about surround material . I wonder if epoxy like that used with Vandersteens could be added , I can always ... | |
| Has your HiFi changed your musical tastes Bigby... your speakers 32hz frequency extension is likely part of the reason classical music sounds more real . Room treatments are also worth there weight in gold . Nice system link , nice pictures . Tim | |
| Disappointing Evening Most non audiophiles are not interested in hi end audio at all . I've had similar experiences , if fact almost all people that walk past my system don't even seem to notice it . | |
| Mr Stereo passes away One of the few true gentleman of audio . All the best in that great music room in the sky . | |
| Ayre KX-R or Krell 202 with Martin Logans I own the Ayre KX-R and can highly recommend it . I heard many other preamps ,Krell , Levinson , A.R.C, B.A.T. , Marantz , Meridian , ect in my system and the Ayre just brought me closer to the music . Tim | |
| Revel Studio or Von Schweikert VR4 Mk1 or Salk HT3 I'm biased , but the Studio's are hard to beat . Stereophiles joint speaker of the year 2001 . You have pickled some good ones . | |
| My last pre-amp, Rowland Capri or Ayre K5xe ? Well then here's a biased opinion , I haven't heard an Ayre component I didn't like . I bought Ayre's KX-R preamp after owning ARC's Ref 3 and Levinson's #320s and could not be happier . I doubt it's the last preamp I'll buy , but I won't be parti... | |

| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? Hello Bill .. I have heard many fine vinyl rigs , at friends as well as in the salons , And I can say a few of them surpassed my digital setup in a few ways but lost out in a few others , i guess were back to personal preference again . But those ... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? I use Ayres top player . When we want a more analog feel we run it into the Levinson DAC . I won't say it sounds like a turntable but it's as close to it as I have heard from a digital rig . With digital like this who needs vinyl . | |
| Why do some model names use "MKII"? Like kurt-tank said , it's just a newer version . Some call it mark 2 some add a letter or number some manufacturers give it a new name but it all means the same . | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? I've had my share of both and have to say both have there virtue's , but with the sound quality of some of the new solid state gear now available and without the hassle of tubes that is often the way to go . But In the end , when i'm auditioning e... | |
| How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner? We also have farm land around us . We rarely open windows , if we need fresh air we go outside . For inside our furnace / airconditioner has an electronic filter that works very well . | |
| Listening distance Dodgealum that was interesting . My young daughter also moves the listening chair ahead about one foot when we are not home , claims it's way better . But what does she no a age 11 , she has also become a diehard turntable groupy thanks to a so ca... | |
| The sound of glasswear To answer the above , I don't no if the Salons are tube friendly or not , there very neutral , I had used them with ARC's Ref 3 pre for a few years with no problem . I have considered the MXR's but I am also using the Ayre C5MP CD player and seem ... |
