| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure Tomtab, I'm glad you like the speakers, I think you may not have meant to but pushed people off the track with the clean out your ears commentary. People love to get excited and defensive. I get what you are saying and I think its informative. | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Absolutely never use UPS, they SUCK. Ruined insured amp, fought for weeks to only get partial payment. | |
| Question for you Denon DL-103 folks I have been using a denon 103r for about 5 months as my emt tsd-15 was being rebuilt in Germany. This is probably my least favorite cartridge of the ones that I have used in my system. My use of it was on a well tempered amadeus II into the Audi... | |
| looking at mcintosh pre-amp c2500. Can I do better for the cost of a Mac? Listen to shindo, vac, arc, etc to get good comparison. | |
| Is it all worth it? We all know that a lot goes into enjoying sound. I noticed that when I go to a local record shop who has hung 4 old Akai speakers on chains being driven by some old receiver and who knows what turntable, I just love hearing the music that it prod... | |
| Tube rolling VAC 160i SE On the power tubes side, I had a VAC Avatar Super and rolled a lot of KT88 and honed in on the gold lion reissues as having great overall presentation. I also like the ruby tubes as well. If you like a ton of detail the EH did that better at exp... | |
| Opinions Needed! If you listen to it that much, tubes are not too expensive as a ratio to listening time. If you like the tube sound that much it will likely be a problem going solid state at some point, sooner or later. | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately People buy McIntosh and Rolex for the primary purpose of impressing friends and stroking their own ego and in the vast majority of cases it is mission accomplished. | |
| Advice I would try to figure it out, get the local AV guy to help with set-up and maybe a all in one remote programmed for your system. If you sell, verify the operational condition before listing. You can also try audioasylum listing which is free. Ther... | |
| Best HT 5.1 for movies and music (50/50)? HT and 2 channel are two different animals that benefit from having gear designed specifically for that task. Do some research into home theater pass through and consider an integrated with this feature coupled with a HT receiver. | |
| Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2 Famous last words. | |
| Should I buy a phono-pre or Creek phono board? I agree wirh EBM, its so cheap it should be bought. If you later want to seek better sound then a stand alone phono can be added. | |
| What Cartridge please? I had a CA champion and satisfy arm, best results I had were with a ZYX Airy3. I also ran CA, denon, and benz on it but ZYX was better. | |
| Good options for monitor Audio sliver line I am not a sub expert but I believe it would be a challenge to use in both applications with a HT pass through set-up. Most just use the sub for the HT aspect. Your speakers by themselves should perform pretty damn well in bass department with a... | |
| Integrating a new turntable into existing system and having sound quality problems... Seems like the cart is jacked up if it doesn't track right at the correct VTF, try another one. |
