| Please help me on a speaker selection Check thread: "Discription of Newer VMPS Sound? Help Please" Now that I became a dealer for Vmps people tend to add a large grain of salt to what I say even though it is my honest opinion so here's a list of pro reviews:http://www.audiocircle.com/... | |
| Int. Amp Recommendation The Portlal Panache. I understand these are tested with Apogee's for quality control. That's a speaker most separate power amps won't handle. | |
| Please Help with DAC... I"ll second Killerpiglet's suggestion. I believe there's a MSB Link Dac II for sale now. | |
| Please help for performance with low cash...... Just noticed you have a Rotel processor. I'd try it to see if I liked it. Rotel has a good reputation in this area. Definitely worth a try. | |
| Van Alstine Frank Van Alstine's has been doing this since I think the 70's. Is deservedly highly respected. He's a no hype, no b.s. kind of engineer. His products are rarely for sale. | |
| Room Size and Loudness Treatment helps, period. Room modes are there, laws of physics that cannot be denied. Go to realtraps.com and read. Once you do use some room treatment you'll wonder what you were waiting for, I know I did. | |
| Please help for performance with low cash...... Chad: You may want to also consider a changer like the Sony 222 model. These are under 300 used and sound quite good, hold 5 cds and will play sacd's too. Dawned on me you may like having a changer. Here's a 222 for 200: http://cls.audiogon.com/cg... | |
| What is the best DAC to buy used in the $500 range You'll rarely see a Scott Nixon tubedac for sale and there's alot of raves about them. New ones are around your price. I've not heard it but several people I respect have told me it's outstanding. Definitely worth checking out. | |
| Please help for performance with low cash...... Chad: Go here: http://www.av123.com/products_category_brand.php?section=processors&brand=33The Onix XCD-88 is the same player as the Music Hall. It's made by Shanling. Do a search in the digital area of Audioasylum as this was discussed recent... | |
| Why are big speakers in small rooms bad? Try the speakers. All rooms should have bass traps anyway but a smaller room could easily need more of them. I've used very large speakers in my 12x17 room and have no problem. I sit 9 feet from my speakers and even with first order crossovers am ... | |
| Are the H2o signature monos stable dwn to one ohm? A Parasound HCA 3500 will also drive the Kappa 9's. | |
| Causes of long term listening fatigue? Brightness caused by speaker and/or room is numero uno. Also hardness and grain I cannot deal with anymore. So I feel any component or possibly a combination of components can cause LF. | |
| Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps For a few hunded you could sell your preamp and buy an LS 16 like I just sold and save a couple of hundred bucks at the same time. The LS 16 also uses Infinicaps. Also your preamp wouldn't appreciate hardly at all with the upgrade so that would be... | |
| What sonic characteristics matter the most? I'll agree with Aroc and add bass done properly which to me means proper weight. Also agree that planars tend to sound more real than cones for accuracy. | |
| What is the best way to burn in my new speakers I think he means at least 72 hours non stop. Once you put them face to face and out of phase from each other it won't be very loud as they'll cancel each other out. So a fair amount of volume is good to work the surrounds. You can just listen to t... |
