| Setting up Analog In a New Room From Scratch Have you considered putting the amp between the speakers and having the whole front end out near where the listening chair is located? That seems to be one of the more popular means of setting things up since it keeps the amp from messing with the... | |
| Great Customer Service Wow, I'm impressed. That's how it should be, but rarely is it found to be like that! | |
| Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide Yea but how do you pronounce "nrchy?" | |
| Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide Trelja-I thought that was like Krell ya! | |
| Should audiophiles be disappointed?... If Rives has posted this will probably be redundant, but it doesn't matter how good a speaker is, if the room is bad the speakers will sound bad!It is simple physics. Room dimensions, volume, and materials have profound effects on the speakers abi... | |
| How do you know it's time for external phono stage A while ago I was sort of forced to go with an external Phono stage since I went from a phono preamp to a to a line stage. It is hard to make an honest judgement about the change since I could not go back and forth while listening. My phono stage ... | |
| Norah's new album,,FEB 9th. Can she do it again??? I'm not so sure she 'did it' last time. I have her CD and I like it, but it's not great. I doubt that it will go down in history as one of the best recordings. I did like to she her grow a little, maybe branch out a little. I would like to hear he... | |
| Best speaker between 15K-35K If possible, audition a pair of Soundlabs A1. They are an amazing speaker regardless of whether one uses tubes or SS gear. | |

| Revel Studio or Revel Salon? I have listened to the Salons and they have the smoothest, most liquid midrange of any speaker I have ever heard! You could do a lot worse....an dats da name a dat tune! | |
| CD Sound?? CDs should be the same color as your speaker drivers or they will not sound as clear and detailed! :>) | |
| Rega Owners...which after-market counter weight? Talk to TWL about his HiFi mod! I use it on my RB 900 arm and think it really helped. | |
| Speakers: What's MOST important to you?... I like good extension at the extremes, but the midrange (where most of the music is found) has to be clear and engaging. The liquid midrange people talk about is real and the sound is fantastic, when you get a speaker that will provide that midrange. | |
| What is the standard for judging a systems sound? Zaikesman it seems like your approach is a little different than a lot of people. People either pretend that their stereo sounds like a room full of musicians, or they say "it sounds good to me." You are trying to go from some kind of standard. Wh... | |
| Speaker recommendations / live concert recordings If you want good slam with a fairly cheap speaker see if you can find a pair of Sony SS M9's. There US designed and made, and the Sony label will let you buy them cheap. They cost around $6000 but I've seen 'em for as little as $1000, and they wil... |
