| Denon POA 2400 plastic speaker binding post cap I don't know what your binding post looks like. Madisound has a lot.http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/terminals/ | |
| To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen I had the 3A's for 18 years before recently upgrading them to the Sig version. I do not recommend the non Sigs. They are pleasant but slow/dull sounding. The Sigs have been described as a music lovers speaker and I agree. They can bring you to the... | |
| Which component is most responsible? Turn this one around. If you have a system that already convincingly separates a choir, what component could most easily destroy this if replaced? I would be tempted to say recording first but the truth is any sub par component in the chain could ... | |
| Stylus force digital scales I have one and it works well. It takes watch batteries so pricey to replace. I had the AcousTech- $80, pc board made by the same company- and it operated on two AAA batteries and had an aluminum case. They do stop functioning if you drop them. Bot... | |
| VPI HW-19 Springs I had wondered about the two different color springs used. Now I know that is normal! One spring had collapsed over time by about 1/8 inch. Not normal. Last weekend I replaced my Mk IV springs with an Isolation Upgrade Kit from elusive Disc. Isola... | |
| What CD player will warm my Thiel/Classe systm? You might try a used tube player or Meridian s/s if the presentation is too hot. But it sounds like what you want is a sub, not a new cd player. That would warm up the mids with better extension too. | |
| Subject: Q. on room size and what speakers to use I'm using Vandersteen 3A's in a room about 13 x 10 and they sound fantastic as a two channel music system. After years of unsuccessful upgrading, the key was room treatment. Curtains behind the speakers and Sonex on the side walls. The difference ... | |
| What tubes to use for Audio Research SP-9 MkIII? I have the MKIII and NOS tubes are the way to go. The tube near the center of the circuit board is for your cd, tuner etc. The other tube is for the phono stage, so if you don't have a turntable you'll need just one tube. No, $130 for two Siemens ... | |
| LAST???? Has anybody tried this? I've used "new formula" Last for 10 years with good results and no side effects. Smoother, quieter sound. The original formula had problems with gumming up and the high frequencies would be lost. I have a few used albums treated with it and that s... | |
| A question I'm sure you've never heard before.... I'll second the ARC SP-9 but only the MKIII version. I have the MKII and the MKIII. The MKIII can be had for about $1000, the MKII (not bad) for $600-$800. Be forewarned that it's a warm (colored) sounding pre, ideal for taming a bright system. NO... | |
| Speakers for odd room. Please help That's a tough one. I too have a small room, 13x8 and irregular shape at that. After many upgrades with poor results I nearly gave up. It turned out that reflected sound was the culprit. I hung curtains against the back wall (behind the speakers) ... | |
| calling all audiophiles I have the HTS 2000 also. It's surprisingly good for everything but the power amp. Plug it into the wall. |
