| What amp. to use with Totem Forest? I know that Totem and Sim are thought to like each other. I also heard the Forest driven by Classe to great effect. Go Canada. | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV vs. Aerial 10T characteristics I stand corrected about the Maggies. They sound like they are one driver, anyway. Was I thinking of the 1.6, perhaps? KIRK, I auditioned the 3.0 with BAT and then Linn electronics. I think they are hard to fault. Good with lots of music, and not t... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV vs. Aerial 10T characteristics Wow, to go from 10T's to Dunlavy to Maggies is covering a lot of ground. They are all excellent speakers, but they offer quite different presentations, and your preference will be based on the type of music you listen to most, and the room you hav... | |
| Definition: Excessive woofer cone excursion Gunbei's definition is certainly correct, although perhaps too conservative, as the effect described is "bottoming out" the woofer and is akin to fully extending or compressing the suspension on your car. If you've ever done that you have an idea ... | |
| Why do music DVD's sound so bad? I find that concert DVD's sound much better in PCM two channel, so play around with the setup menus on the discs and see if it helps. Turn your sub down, and make sure you leave a gap between the hi-pass to your mains and the roll-off to the sub t... | |
| interconnect help You need to be careful to get low capacitance cables with a tubed pre and a long run. You also may have RFI issues, as the CAT, I'm sure, is single-ended. My own prejudice is to go with simple cables of good materials and workmanship and spend the... | |
| Linn Wakonda question My Linn preamp has been on for years. Most Linn gear has a push button switch on the rear panel that switches the display to constant on. | |
| Hendrix DVD's Thanks! I was tempted by the Fillmore, what with two of the great names in rock all on one disc, but now I'll put Woodstock at the top of the list. | |
| Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale? Theft does seem a likely explanation. I would definitely check the serial numbers with the manufacturer or distributor. I, for one, want nothing to do with supporting thieves by helping make a market in stolen goods, which is also a crime in itsel... | |
| Am I going insane? Neubilder, don't sell yourself short. Automotive/audio analogies are legion. Isn't a Krell 600 just a Viper without wheels (although the 600 should come with wheels, as it's too heavy to pick up)? No other culture could produce these two products;... | |
| Am I going insane? You have a real advantage in that you are buying a receiver and speakers together. You should audition them that way as much as possible. Receivers from NAD and Rotel are in the same price range as Yamaha/Marantz/Denon's of the world, and are noti... | |
| Removing fine scratches on tt dustcover Besides Novus, there is a great plastics polish called Plexus. Also found in motorcycle shops, and in marine stores, too. | |
| Room setup vs. longer interconnects You'll also generally get better image depth and deeper, wider, better soundstaging with no equipment rack between your speakers. I think it is a good trade to run a longer pre to power balanced IC and keep the rack out of the soundstage. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1. BMW E36 325i (1993); just ordered a MINI Cooper (red with white roof and wheels). 2. ?3. McLaren F1; Mercedes S500; BMW M5 | |
| Comments on Rotel RSX 972 and 1065 Receiver? I have a 965, which had a reputation for glitches but sounded easily superior to anything at its price point (personally, I have had no problems with mine). I run NHT Super Ones in a room about as big as yours. It makes for a nice system, but noth... |
