| Sim Audio Nova CD Player owners I am pretty sure I bought that Nova that was "dumped as soon as it was modded." Or at least I know that I bought a modded Nova soon after the previous owner had it modded. This was 18 months ago.I love it. I cannot say how it sounds compared to an... | |
| Plinius 9100 or Simaudio Moon i5 for Totem Hawks? I have not heard both, but have the I-5 with a pair of totem hawks in a NYC apartment, and love what I hear. I use a Sim Nova as a source. I have a large living room, about 300 sq feet, and have no problem driving the hawks with the I-5. I do not ... | |
| Wiremold ''NAIM'' powerstrip prices what's this??? I have this same powerstrip from Allied, as well. For the "right price." | |
| Replacing Forests??? So, Jh2os, whaddya gonna do now? You sold your Sim stuff...the playing field is wide open. Good luck!- walkman | |
| Replacing Forests??? Jh2os. I cannot blame you for having a "grin from ear to ear" standard. You achieved that level of sonic bliss once, and you have the darn gone right to achieve it again. I guess the rub is what kinda combo of gear is gonnna get you there. I dunno... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Hey Jh2os. Thanks for the detailed summary. It seems you are not quite "content" though. Audiosa-nervosa perhaps? Just kidding. Anyway, perhaps a little more time will help, but maybe not. You seem to have a reference point for the kind of system ... | |
| Sand and shot? Thx South43, I am borrowing it from the suggestion of my dealer. Also, to be clearer than my other post, it's for mass loading a floorstanding speaker, not speaker stands. I don't want to hijack the thread, but my approach seemed to be related to ... | |
| Sand and shot? I was going to place very fine, pure sand obtained from a pet store for reptile acquariums in the section of my speakers dedicated for mass loading. My thinking was to actually place the sand in 1 pound ziplock bags as a way of proper measuring/ca... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Thanks Jh2os...your initial thoughts are appreciated, and encouraging. Identical systems make your comments very valuable. And, I can imagine things will only get better with your break-in and subsequent addition of the claws.Beheme: thanks for th... | |
| Replacing Forests??? So, Jh2os, what do you think of the Hawks so far? Since our set-up's will be identical, I am most curious to hear your impressions. [My room is 27x14, but the listening area is really only 14x14.]thx, walkman | |
| Replacing Forests??? Beheme, I also have that Mirage LF100 sub. I use it as part of my home theater...I basically have two systems, one for audio (sim I-5/Nova + pending Hawks) and video (outlaw 1050 receiver and mirage surround system with LF100 sub). Lots of coincid... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Thanks for the info, Jh2os. Appreciated. Your Sony could have been the culprit on the dc offset, but if you have have not seen the warning light since, and still have the I-5, well then, that can't be it. It's not the speakers though (can speakers... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Oh, and Jh2os, thanks for testing the levels with your db meter. | |
| Replacing Forests??? Jh2os. Thanks mucho. I also have an I-5, so your volume control metrics make total sense to me. With my vandersteen 1c's, I usually listen to music with the I-5's volume 18-23, when I want to go loud, it's at 25. The vandy's are rated 90db at 6.8o... | |
| Replacing Forests??? So, Jh2os, how are you defining "moderate levels"...? I have a pair of Hawks coming to me in the near future and would like to make sure I treat them right. I don't blast my music anyway (rarely above 80db from listening position 8 feet from speak... |
