| Budget tower speakers that rock! I recommend a pair of vintage Infinity RS II’s. They are around used for under a $1000. You might have to have the woofs re-foamed. They are very large. If you really want to rock out, find a pair of JBL 4698B Cabaret's. They are a PA speaker from... | |
| BANG for the BUCK +1 on the Apt Holman Pre Amp. Picked up one in the late 90’s used for $200. I may still get another but the prices are starting to climb as people discover them. Found a pair of JBL 4435 speakers at a pawn shop in the late 90's. They were perfect.... | |
| Help? Bi-Amping With A Pair of Roksan KA-1 Amplifiers Thanks so much for the advice guys. I will start experimenting with this. BTW, I picked up a KORG DS-DAC-10R AD/DA converter (new) to rip some vinyl. It also appears to function as a pre-amp. I am using a Luxman TT with an Ortofon Blue MM cartridg... | |
| Help? Bi-Amping With A Pair of Roksan KA-1 Amplifiers @knotscott. Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid I don't quite understand the "vertical' bi-amp approach. In this approach, I have to keep the Right channel outputs of each amp connected to the right speaker, one set for the highs and one set for th... | |
| What are the sexiest components ever made? I find the Accuphase gear very tastefully designed. Especially like the A-47 Amplifier with the champagne finish and big meters. Also like the black Michell Orbe SE TT with black SME arm. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? I gave up gear and only listen to live music. It's what most of us are chasing. I used this same logic when I gave up golf; if the object of the game is to get the lowest score....then I win.Labels are for cans. | |
| Best debut album +1 edcynTodd Rundgren produced the debut Lp. | |
| Best debut album The New York Dolls. They broke a lot of stuff. A prototype for punk and glam. | |
| Analog to Digital Converter for my PC? Thank you ddude003. The Korg looks exactly like what I need at this point. Thank you. | |
| Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers. I'm an Industrial Designer and I do appreciate a thoughtfully designed piece of audio gear. I generally prefer silver especially when there are polished edge chamfers and other fine details. I have often envisioned other materials and finishes tha... | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! I hear if you cut holes in your grills the same diameter as your drivers that it's a no-compromise solution. | |
| Why Are Mono LP's So Undervalued By Most Classical Collector/Listeners? The Julie London monos are spectacular at capturing the sense of warmth and intimacy of her lyrics. BTW, I think she slays Diana Krall. | |
| Why Are Mono LP's So Undervalued By Most Classical Collector/Listeners? Yes, imaging is more apparent with stereo. With mono, its more subtle. I tend to concentrate on featured artists and their instruments like a Gould sonata or a Heifetz concerto. Some of my Glenn Gould Columbia mono’s are just "in the room" for me.... | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? I would like to recommend a pair of used JBL 4435‘s. I had a pair once and they really filled my 27 x 20 x 10 living room with great sound. These are big box speakers but I think they look great. I was told the 4435’s were used in a lot of disco c... | |
