| I need to be wowed One thing I noticed looking at your room photos was not only the front wall height of your ceiling, but the angle at which it comes back down toward the listening position. If I am seeing it correctly, the angle is approaching something like 45 de... | |
| 78's through the system Thanks for the input folks. One at a time: Greg, yeah, I'll probably just have RIAA if it's close enough. As far as geometry goes, VTA that's close for 78 and correct for 33 will probably be good enough, but you have a point where overhang is conc... | |
| Headphone Amp. for Sennheiser HD 580 headphones... I auditioned the Antique Sound Labs MG Head DT with my HD600's, but bought the Musical Fidelity X-Cans v.2. The ASL was too "tubey"-colored sounding, the MF was flatter with stronger bass and dynamics. Then again, my budget wasn't as high as yours... | |
| Stock Power Cords? I can't make you any promises, of course, but when I owned my Classe Seventy (the forerunner to the CA100), the addition of Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler made a positive difference so large, I wouldn't have thought it possible if I hadn'... | |

| Grado SR-225 or Sennheiser HD580? Just a technical note, Memeboy - what you say is lost through your speakers is actually lost due to the room. Happy listening! | |
| I need to be wowed Although you may like the tonal balance of an ML like the Aerius, IMHO you would need to place any dipolar panel-type radiator (ML, Maggies) further out from the front wall than you say you are willing to go, ideally 4 ft. or more, but no less tha... | |
| What can you do about a nonselling seller? For someone selling an item on AudiogoN, there is no protocol that I can see declaring, "The seller must sell to the first firm offer at the asking price." Posting a classified does not carry with it the implications of a contract contained in the... | |
| Grado SR-225 or Sennheiser HD580? I own the HD600's, and they have better defined transient response than Grado RS-2's which I auditioned, probably because of less resonance. I also found the Grado's shaded too much toward the bass. Sennheisers win easy on comfort, but the 600's n... | |
| I need to be wowed You have a big space to fill with sound, and listen from a good distance away. A BBC-type monitor may have the nominal tonal balance you are after, but is made to be listened to in more of a near-field situation, so it could sound boring in your r... | |
| In Memory of Henry Kloss Although I came of audio age after Mr. Kloss' influential heyday, I grew up in a house with the Advent table radio in the kitchen. I used to play it every night while I did my dishwashing duty, and believe me, I took as much time washing those dis... | |
| TAS new look-the end is near? Ljqj - I must be the ultimate example of what you're saying about gambling on subscriptions. When I had picked up a few issues of FI and liked it well enough to bite, I bought a two year subscription, looking foward to a welcome break from Stereop... | |
| Who R U? cfb, Paulwp - Don't want to pull thread off-topic, so real quicklike: Whazzamatta, cfb, that wasn't enuff for ya? E-mail me direct if you want to chat about any particular styles you're interested in. Paul, ska was an early-to-mid 60's Jamaican pe... | |
| Who R U? I R: a 37y.o. single but well-attached guy, no kids, from DC area who gets his $ for records and gear from a succession of sales jobs (not a "career", I fear), including stints in the audio hardware and software retail bizzes. I currently work for... | |
