| under 2.5k subwoofer match for Dynaudio 3.0 I apologize for the brevity of this reply, but I highly recommend the REl Storm. It is new around 2500 (you can find them cheaper here) and would work well. Good luck,Todd | |
| Where R U????? Sunny Tucson Arizona, back from a short stent in LA (Great city, too many people). Miss the audio exposure there though. Todd | |
| too much power now-dump active for passive pre? Ths sounds like an interesting turn on Nigel's dilemma. I agree with Sean, don't worry about the gain level on the preamp. I rarely turn my pre up to 40% of it's potential gain as I have large Monos. It's a good thing. If what you are noticing is ... | |
| Need advice: repair CAL CL25--or buy new/used CDP? CAL has great customer service, give them a call. My guess is also that the lens is dirty. It could be a cheap fix. Also I think the CAL is a great CD player, it's only slightly more grainy than my much more expensive seperates. If your primary de... | |
| BEST SUB FOR MUSIC Just want to put in another vote for the RELs. Probably a Stadium 3 used or Storm 3 new. With your equipment and budget I can't think of anything close. They are very adaptable and man are they fast. I am reticent to say don't look any further, be... | |
| Can Dynaudio 1.3mk2 be driven well by tube gear? As Karls touched on, you need current to drive these low sensitivity speakers well. In addition , their 4 ohm impedance means you need an amp that will be stable at low impedance and high current. That usually means SS unless you go big on the tub... | |
| best cd's to impress your friends with.. I'd like to third Bob and Doug's thoughts. Let them pick anything they like, or even better bring their own favorites over. Yes probably some of them are recorded poorly, but that is their frame of reference. I know that when I audition a new piec... | |
| The Best Movie sound Tracks Magnolia is absolutely wonderful. (Even if the movie wasn't)Aimee Mann does the majority of the album. Absolutely black background, very well recorded. Her vocals are truly amazing. Interesting accompaniments and background vocals as well. By far ... | |
| I need to add a SUB. Please HELP ME Another option is to buy a REL or another sub that offers a high resistance connection to the amp outputs of your integrated amp (the five in ones on the back that go to your speaker cables). BTW I would recommend the REL anyway just for pure soni... | |
| A meeting by the River.... I agree wholeheartedly. I came across this 4 song CD from Jay Shah who helped produce this. Really nice guy who is an absolute tube and analog nut- in a good way. Wonderful quality of recording, precise imaging, absolutely black background. Overal... | |
| Power Cord Challenge JHunter,Good point, but maybe one person could run back and forth really quickly switchin cords for the others (at least until he has too much ale). Peace,Todd | |
| Power Cord Challenge An interesting thought. I have an idea on how to improve the test, and maybe a helpful analogy to explain my reasoning. First off, I admit to believing in ICs, PCs, etc. That said, I think it would be hard to say "that is cord A or B" after listen... | |
| Trelja in New York Joe, Thanks for your report. I'm sure it took a lot of time, and it was very helpful. That type of initiative helps keep this site great. (I'm still one of the guys who really likes this site, faults and all). Thanks for your opinions. I don't agr... | |
| opinions on Muse Model 3 preamp I would highly recomment the Muse model 3. I have had a lot of changes in my 2 channel system over the last several years. The preamp and the speakers haev been the only steady pieces. Actually, the speakers are going next week when my new ones ar... | |
| DDD CD Recordings Very intersting question, I've thought about it a fair amount before. I think one important thing to remember is that you can have exceptional recording/mixing/and mastering in any of the formats, so it is unfair to make a blanket statement that o... |
