| rave review on AR home theatre speaker system If you check around to find out how much a "piano finish" costs to have done professionally, there isn't much money left for the rest of the speaker. Think about it. This is eye-candy for the living room. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1988 Jaguar XJ-S V-12 convertible. Love it. It is the most car for the money on the used market today. My dream car? A 1966 Ferrari 275GTB4 NART Spyder. | |
| Turntable/arm short list suggestions, please. Ejcj, I do not own a Linn, but know about the design. I don't understand your comments about it being outdated. Just about all the newer tables out there are merely copies of the Linn with fancy looking plinths. The precision bearing assy. with po... | |
| Burning in my Sony DVP-S9000ES -- best approach Dw00, Thanks for passing on that emergency history screen info. I tried it and got exactly what you stated. That was a great thing to know. I wrote it down on the back of my user's manual. Thanks again. | |
| Have you tried "doping" your speaker cones? Sean, this is great fun. I am noticing large heighth improvements also. Sometimes, I think it might be too high. The drums are low, where they should be, and the instruments and voices are at middle height and about natural proportion and location... | |
| Info on compound/isobaric woofers for DIYers? The primary purpose of Isobarik bass loading is to achieve deeper bass response in a smaller than ideal cabinet by isolating the radiating woofer from the air "spring" in the box by a second driven woofer mounted in a sealed chamber behind it. Thi... | |
| speaker cables for carver amazing III - help My advice is to try various things to get an idea what the system sounds like and where you need to go. This may sound ludicrous to some out there, but I would start with some heavy cheap zip cord or budget cable, and then compare to a more "prope... | |
| TUNERS..anyone? I don't use a tuner, but some really good ones I've heard are the Tandberg 3000 series(Can't remember the exact number, 3012,3013, or somthing), Arcam, and the old Armstrong receiver(which also had a great amp in it). | |
| Burning in my Sony DVP-S9000ES -- best approach I just used the old method of playing music and waiting for it to burn in. It's not like you are going to be contaminated or anything. So, you have to wait awhile. Big deal. I just kept track of how many hours of CD I played, and how many hours of... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Tweekerman, I am saving up to get a set of manger drivers. I plan to try different low end extension techniques, to see how low it can actually go, with help. If you look at the response chart, it seems to go to 60Hz at the same relative db as it ... | |
| Have you tried "doping" your speaker cones? Just to add a little to this topic, I rearranged my room and moved my speakers out further to get closer to the "typical" placement formula, and wow! I don't know if the doping gave more coherent phase info or what, or maybe it was just the placem... | |
| Headphones and amp questions I second Thorty40 on the Berning MicroZOTL for the headphone amp. It is superb. | |
| What's the best sounding dome tweeter available? I think the Scanspeak 3/4 inch dome tweeter is excellent. It is widely used in high end and easily available. Remember, though, you have to match it with the other drivers you pick. | |
| Which speaker to choose? I thought it might be fun for everyone to come up with some creative and funny names for audio gear and technologies! | |
| Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp I read the whole thing JD, as I can see that you put alot of time into sharing your good experience with us. It really sounds to me like you've got a great amp there. It feels so good when we can get it right, doesn't it? I hope you enjoy it for a... |
