| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? Whatever you buy unheard will sound good. You have to justify it, and most modern speakers sound at least 'good', with a wink and a nod to Julian Hirsch. Sure, there's crap out there, but as most of us have surfed, web research generally yields sa... | |
| Are expensive cables worth it? Marak's analogy is well-stated.Consider the success of a cable maker such as Signal. No-nonsense, well-engineered, great sounding cables that work for many/most of us. Last word in resolution? Probably not. But you cannot deny the impact of guys l... | |
| B&K preamp/tuners..... Ditto 'dreams. US-made [hello Buffalo!], very solid engineering and construction. But I could not live with that spring-loaded volume control, too stiff and highly non-ergonomic, imo. I also thought the menu options were confusing, trying to do to... | |
| Any comments on Eastsound CD-E5? The 3300 is $458 shipped with a voltage xfrmr. Sorry for not specifying the exact model. Also, audiocubes seems to be a trustworthy seller although I've not personally dealt with them. What's the rest of your gear and what are you looking for in a... | |
| Any comments on Eastsound CD-E5? The High cost of shipping would prohibit a sale [to me]. A better bet might be the CEC at audiocubes.com | |
| Best Budget system? $500-$750 tops You might want to consider the active Swans offered at newegg.comPlenty of $$ left over for your source, and cables, and stands, plus Swan quality [although they are made offshore].A little different approach but well worth the mouse click. | |
| Who makes an active speaker that isn't ported? "This design eliminates the need for [PASSIVE] XO's."Active equalization is almost always incorporated in the design of an active system. But I am in total accord on getting rid of those nasty inductors. We worry and kvetch over speaker cabling, b... | |
| stacked equipment isolation? http://www.geocities.com/controlsoftware/RIPPAD.HTMGreat product and service, and very fair pricing. Maybe all you need. Good luck. | |
| Degrade in sound over 48 hours. What happened? Use headphones on tuner. Then CD. This will rule out interconnect problems. Twist-on connectors are not 100%, the HP test will bypass the speaker cabling. If both speakers exhibit the same problem, see Gs's answer above. 25 is old in electronic ye... | |

| Very Small Desktop Speakers newegg.com, search on swans. Kinda on the big side but no sub required, perhaps. Swan makes their own drivers here and abroad, but an excellent value, much stronger than most plastic 'puter spkrs. Just don't tell WSJ's Mossberg. | |
