| solid core interconnect below 500.00pr.-which one My entire system (mostly...my headphone amp has a cool looking old Straightwire IC and my REL has a thick stranded OFC garden hose) has solid core AQ stuff found used here and there. Type 8 speaker, King Cobra and Diamondback single ended and bala... | |
| Speaker cables: $3000 or $380. What do you get?? Jedinite24...the Russell article is cool. My experience with better wire goes back to when I first saw Monster cable in a club that allowed an audio geek to wire everything with it. Looked GREAT. It was years later when I noticed my Vandersteen 1B... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers Dysons always work better when used with good stands, AC conditioners, and cryoed cables. You want them to really suck. | |
| Recommendations for a "summer" amp? I used to have a high current amp in a sort of closet shelf space and I wired in a small fan to power up with the amp...problem solved. | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? I did have a friend (a former champion surfer) in the 60s who started his own religion in Hawaii...his was based on the Hare Krishna stuff that was going around, and he had to work out a deal with the "regular" Hare Krishna group to not chant in W... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? Bbro...the "cool hats" suggestion is for the clergy mostly and I recognize that many religions may be hatless and therefore less fun...but I was talking about starting a new religion anyway (and "Regular Church" could be a GREAT name for this). 3 ... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? If you're in the US you can pay for the entire thing by starting a religion...you only need to hold services once a week (or never), get an interesting hat for events (religions benefit from cool hats), make up whatever you need (religions are gre... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? Balderdash! Living in an old church can obviously be great and clearly you understand that as you mentioned it's a "challenge." I think people are weirdly concerned with room ambience (I'm a long time musician/live sound tech) and unless you plan ... | |
| Ready to upgrade from the Jolida JD1501 I've found that a sub does more than merely add bass extension (although that is what they do) as a good sub somehow "charges" a room, making the main speakers sound better all around, even with bass shy recordings (mandolin, bird noises, whining ... | |
| Ready to upgrade from the Jolida JD1501 I still use a pair of KEF Q10s I bought new...a great nearfield recording monitor by the way...and I bet the LS50s are MUCH better in every way. Metal heads should use 'em with a subwoofer. Also, a buddy of mine has that Vincent 236 and it sounds ... | |
| Class A Watts There is a lot more to good sound than watts, except for Reggie Watts. | |
| Speakers for Electronic Music? I retract my suggestion. I'm part of the "good speakers can play ANY type of music well" school of thought...and will argue this point ad nauseum. I also have a tiny disco ball in my listening room. | |
| amp for Silverline minuet supreme plus? Jumper note: I made jumpers from a couple of types of high end cable and neither sounded as good as the Silverline supplied jumpers, so the stock gold plated brass jumpers stay. File this under "strange but true" in the Audio Myth cabinet. My abol... | |
| How much do you have to spend, to get a good Sub? A used REL can do the job...mine was missing grill cloth (easily remedied) but otherwise is fine, works perfectly, and I can't imagine not having one. It's a Q150E Ebay score that cost around $200 a couple of years ago. | |
| The new Bob Dylan Maybe you mean the new Jakob Dylan? |
