| Speaker Upgrade Unsound - Not necessarily in my opinion. The reason is when I was speaker shopping and first heard the C1's I was floored by the price meaning I was looking to spent about 1/2 the MSRP. I knew absolutely nothing about Dynaudio prior to that day es... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Taters Yes I use a Rel B3. Really sounds great.Pkelly1504 I would ask to hear some speakers and once you ask the price you can always ask about pre owned or demo. | |
| 7404 and 5691 tube available or substitute? I'm not familiar with Cary. Nor am I a tube expert. In fact I got my Octave about a year ago and am trying to learn more about the tubes I can use. Just google it. I responded to your question because I would hate for someone to think they have to... | |
| Speaker Upgrade C1 signatures in mocha. I was also able to find a pair of black/chrome stand 4. | |
| Piano and Trumpet can sound bright I would have to say the speakers (aluminum tweeters). To me speakers make the biggest difference. They all have a very specific sound. It's what sound you prefer. That being said I have a tube integrated and some tubes are definitely brighter than... | |
| Has LED caught up to Plasma? Besides what Wendell stated LED's tend to be brighter where Plasma has a better color contrast. Depends on your preferences.That being said I read OLED should be arriving soon. That would be a true LED TV. Supposed to be brighter and richer withou... | |
| 7404 and 5691 tube available or substitute? For the 7404 I found this on Googlehttp://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=7404+vacuum+tube+equivelent&oq=7404+vacuum+tube+equivelent&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=5927052l5943795l0l5945101l27l27l0l2... | |
| Speaker Upgrade First I never heard the Ushers. In my personal opinion the B&W's would be best for HT but not for 2 channel. They are forward and punchy. For 2 channel they will most likely give you listeners fatigue in the long term. That's why I didn't get ... | |
| Recondition my 1986 Thiel CS1.0 or buy new? Take the store up on the in-home demo. That is the only way you will know for sure. I had to sign up for an in home demo at 1 local store and the salesman suggested picking it up on a Saturday. The store is closed Sun and Mon. Another option would... | |
| Vinyl. Is it me? the producer? cartridge? Record? In my personal opinion I think your problem is the speakers. The 30 that sound fantastic, I'm guessing are very laid back recordings. I am not a Klipsch fan. I had to live with my sons KG 4.5's - KLF-10's and KLF-20's and to me the KG's were the l... | |
| What amps use the KT120 tubes? Octave RE 290http://www.octave.de/en/htdocs/verstaerker/re290.phpThis amp was designed around the KT120. As a V70SE owner I would suggest adding the Black Box. Lowers the noise floor and adds to the dynamics. | |
| Music Server- SSD drives No noise - Generates less heat. | |
| Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1 Rhmmmm & R0817FWIW In July I took the 'plunge' and upgraded my cherry C1's to the C1 signature in mocha (I found a pair of black/chrome stands too). I never thought the C1's could be improved on but Dynaudio sure did. With MKII/Signature the b... | |
| Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1 I haven't heard the Merlin's or Thiel's but as a Dyn C1 owner all I can say the C1's are a great speaker for the type of music you listen to. Very natural and smooth (some may say a little laid back). Also as Mechans stated the amp is also part of... | |
| Totem speakers and others that I should consider? Check out Dynaudio. |
