| Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh I choose all my hi-fi based on the dealer's truck size :(( | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @OP You would be better off with a pair of Harbeths is you want some thing leaning towards a warmer presentation. If you are considering the speakers you've mentioned, as per pennfootball71, have a listen to one of the Genelec G series. You're eff... | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading Personally, I prefer the shelves in my rack to be decoupled from one another. I don't particularly see why the rack needs to be super stable horizontally since most of the problematic vibrations are traveling vertically. As with Ghdprentice, I als... | |
| Cd player The TEAC 701 is an excellent transport. It can also be clocked so there is the potential to upgrade it. There isn't a massive difference in price between the transport and CD player versions so it would be worth auditioning the CD against the tran... | |
| Overkill for small room @OP. You have plenty of space in a room that size to optimally position those speakers. They don't go particularly low in the bass either - which is a good thing in this case. Because this is essentially an American forum the way people evaluate r... | |

| The real truth about recordings @hickamore. You might not like his music, but James Taylor's albums are superbly played and engineered. More generally, I don't think there is any single "truth" in recording. Different genres and performances respond to different engineering cho... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker I had a dog who successively ate two pairs of Etymotic research in ear 'phones. Sympathy to the OP. | |
| How does a preamp die from sitting unused for a few months? The pre won't have died from sitting unused for a few months. It died because of something else as per carlsbad2's post. Or it could have been going to expire anyway before it was put away. If it had been put away from years and died from some cap... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms @pindac - apologies. Typo in my post which I've corrected because I meant the 309 - economy version of the Series IV/V. It was partly a freudian slip because I have very recently been listening to a very nice SME 301 with a completely rebuilt 300... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms Good discussion on this topic. I recently installed an SME 309 on a Technics SL1200GAE (not my own turntable BTW, so no expectation bias involved). It sounded noticeably better than the stock arm - especially in terms of top end refinement. | |
| Speaker cable length. @OP. You can do a simple experiment but it will require the two different lengths of cable. Use one speaker, and a mono source and then listen to the two respective lengths of cable and ask if you can hear a difference. Ideally, you would do this ... | |
| Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent Transparent Audio want prospective customers to buy pre-owned cables from their Dealers. That is the best way for the company to ensure the integrity of their products. If one buys anything on the grey or pre-owned market, it is always a case of ... | |
| JJ preamp tubes - repeated problems The vast majority of small signal triodes are made by either JJ or New Sensor - regardless of what name is on the box. |
