| Sending Equipment out of Country for Repair/Servic Hi Oddio,There should be no charge to you at all if the item is returned to you clearly identified as ''repaired under warranty''. I've had two cross border returns for warranty repair, and there was no charge upon receiving the products back.One ... | |
| Set up for Vandy 2CE sigs Thanks for the responses folks, much appreciated. An audio buddy of mine has offered to help with the 2's, see if two heads ( or four ears ) are better than one. I suspect also that my room is a major problem, but there may be hope yet. Since it's... | |
| Set up for Vandy 2CE sigs Thanks Rjones, I'm afraid you may be right about the room....square is not good, I know. Only room I can use at present tho. I set the 1C's up diagonally, used the manual, and the bases are on the speakers. Just couldn't seem to lock it down. The ... | |
| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? Hi Omains,The Harbeth Monitor 30's are a superb loudspeaker, and would certainly be worth considering in your situation, although they may be at the top end of your budget. I had the opportunity to listen to the PMC TB2's the other day, and was fl... | |
| i am trying to get a smooth vinyl sound from cd Hi Phil,I have a Marantz Heart 6000, and invested in a very good pair of Mullard tubes. This is as good and sometimes better than my Planar 3/Clearaudio Aurum Beta combo. Smooth, spacious and dynamic. Does it for me anyway...(:Good luck,Mike | |
| What's under your bookshelf speakers? I'm using cork, cut to fit the top of the speaker stand. Good grip and doesn't cause marking or damage to the speaker bottom. | |
| The Best Live album Some albums that I've always liked.... Streetheart-''Live After Dark'', and BB King- "Live at Cook County Jail''. Also Thin Lizzy ''Live and Dangerous'',and Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington ""Ella and Duke At the Cote D'azur'' | |
| Good Phono Pre-Amps...$500 to $1500 Hi Whatjd,Don't pretend to know much about the Linn or Dynavector, but am presently listening to a Camelot Lancelot Pro phono stage, while my Monolithic is down for repairs. Also listen at moderate levels, to jazz etc as well. Best I've heard, the... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Michael Schenker of UFO, solo on ''Highway Lady'' from the album ''No Heavy Petting'', also his solo on ''Lights Out'' from the live ''Strangers in the Night''.How about Wes Montgomery's excellent work on "Impressions", from the 2 cd Verve set, "I... | |
| Best Speaker for audiophile-grade small room rig I also have a square, 14 x 14, listening room. I have the Harbeth M30's, and recently set them up to listen diagonally. The improvement in the bass ( and overall sound) was huge. The Harbeth is a great speaker,like many of the above recommendation... | |
| Bryston BP-25 vs. Plinius CD-LAD I use the BP25 as well, and agree with Jrd351, it's neutral, and exceptionally quiet, due to the outboard power supply, I guess. Like the fact that it sounds best plugged into the wall, and with the stock power cord. Also like the mono, mute and p... | |
| ''Hissing'' from speakers....cause ? Thar's right Plato, the Monarchy is passive, the Sim active. Never considered that, thanks.It's noticeable when I'm close to the speakers, or if my small listening room is very quiet. | |

| Budget balanced IC recommendations Try a run of balanced ''pro'' cable, available at your local music gear store. I recently bought a 15 foot pair of balanced Digiflex microphone cable, just to try it, around $40 Canadian. It's still in my system, and isn't coming out. Sounds GREAT... |
