| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Why wouldn't those magnetic levitaton devices be the ultimate isolater/damper? Or are they somehow attached to the sides to prevent side to side sway (and thus transmit vibes.) | |
| Anybody compare NuForce to ARC Dig Amps I haven't heard the ARC but have heard the NuForce which I would define as OPEN.Good luck. | |
| ARC LS1, LS2, LS3 , or LS7, which to buy? I had a LS2B and my LS5B MKIII was much better in every way. Now it has been modded by GNSC and is even better.Suggestion: I may be crazy, but am a convert to Walker Extreme SST on the tube pins, XLRS and PCs.Bob Woodhttp://www.greathometheater.com | |
| Are ICEpower amps really that good? Synergy is the key. (Personal preferences + depth of noticed detail) / (system capability + system synergy = satisfaction)Bob WoodPersonally, I like my NuForces more than any amp I've had in my system. They are very clean and very dynamic. As or m... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Proof of YMMV: my Audience cables sound dynamic, uncompressed and completely wonderful throughout the spectrum.I'll estimate that the Wilson demo I heard recently had about $200k worth of top everything (in a good room)... and I didn't feel my hom... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value I switched TO Audience Au 24 cabling. For fear of being sued, I won't say what I had, and replaced. But the total cost of the old cables was over $10k. I can't believe I ever did that! | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value I have WP7s. I heard a demo of Alexandrias presented by Dave Wilson just recently. He struck me as a gentleman, far from a hypster. If he was working us, he's a master. You could see the pride he had when talking about how he felt for his workers.... | |
| Low-end Question I shouldn't try to post right before bed. I agree with Perkadin above, you should get two small speakers for L&R and feed from receiver. Add Sub if you can, tune as I wrote.Sorry for the mad cow.Bob Woodhttp://www.GreatHomeTheater.com | |
| Low-end Question The TV should feed the HT receiver, not the other way around. Do this. Use the TV speakers. Get a subwoofer. Tune it higher (frequency) than you normally would (probably as high as it will go), and put it reasonably close to the plane of the speak... | |
| Help w/ weird big-screen tuning issue? Check antenna switch - could be you were not on the cable feed, receiving a broadcast signal instead?Theory number 2: RPTV tuner wasn't set up for your cable feed which might be off enough versus previous owner?Theory Number 3: bad wiring.Bob Wood... | |
| Favorite 6922 for ARC preamps. Kevin Deals' (Upscale Audio - no relation) Type 3 6H23EBsBob Woodhttp://www.GreatHomeTheater.com/stereo.html | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs If you want real - not that you can have it - you need dynamics. That leads in one direction. Foe speakers and amps.Some go in another, with the fast effortless acceleration of electrostatics.As for amps, I found the ARC VT100MKII sounded very goo... | |
| Recommendation for small satellite speakers Look at the KEF eggs. They come with a versatile mount.the older ones were part of the 2000.5 package - available separately. And they are coming out with the 3000.5s now.Bob Woodhttp://www.GreatHomeTheater.com | |
| Wilson W/P 5.1 vs B&W N802 The WP 5.1 isn't as emotionally involving as their later models.I didn't find the 802s emotionally involving either.Maybe the Aerial 10T? Or would you be okay with Magnepans?Revel Ultima Salons? or Studios?Keep looking and listening. | |
| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? Wilson Audio Duettes sound awesome. Almost without bounds!Bob Woodhttp://www.GreatHomeTheater.com/stereo.html |
