| Underated bands that shouldn't be........... "Tesla-The combination of musical and songwriting skills were unmatched by any hard rock/metal band from the mid 80's-early 90's."Unmatched? They're a good band but I wouldn't go that far. | |
| Have you gotten great sound in a small er room? I have something that you may want to try. Given all the variables it doesn't always work, but its a worthwhile experiment. Put each speaker in front of a different wall.To visualize, you start off by facing your listening chair directly at one of... | |
| Looking to add warmth "NOTE: What some perceive as, "warmth", issometimes simply noise/distortion(btw: what applies to guitaramps, applies to all amps"I don't think comparing a home stereo amp to a guitar amp is relevant in the context of this thread. With a guitar amp... | |
| Fun, small footprint, floor standers Monitor Audio RS6 is very good. Also, Spendor S5e, Vandersteen 1c and ProAc D15. | |
| Cartridge break in I agree. Sometimes it takes even longer. I find that it helps to log how many hours you are putting on a new cart. Its easy to loose track. | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever "10-17-13: IsochronismZd542, I had researched each component in my system at great length before purchase.I am happy with my culmination."What kind of research did you do? Please share it with us. As far as I can remember, I think you are the firs... | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever "10-17-13: IsochronismThe thread asks for worst purchases, .... not worst responses."I agree. But unless you contribute your own list, you fall victim to your own statement.Now, as far as the "d" goes, I think both of you guys make a good point. | |
| LP to CD format anyone ... I have an Alesis Masterlink 9600. It records to a hard drive before it burns. The successful burn rate is very high, and on the occasional failed burn, you can just try again. The music is already on the hard drive. It also does 24/96 and you don'... | |
| is hard drive dead You may be able to check it yourself. Can you list some info as to what type of HD it is? | |
| Replace Classe CA-200 with Pass X350, do it? Normally I would agree with Onhwy61 on the preamp but a Wadia 850 into a Pass amp sounds pretty good. To get a preamp that would sound equal or better would probably cost a lot of money. | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever I don't know if Shakey has a good sense of humor."Naw, I just sold it all because it didn't go with my decor."That's really good. It got a good laugh out of me. But then he goes an spells obtuse wrong. | |
| Buzz/hum through speakers Call The Cable Company (www.fatwyre.com). They're very good with these type of problems. If they recommend something, they will let you try it first so you know if its the right thing for you. I've been using them for years and find them to be ver... | |
| warmer ? "10-15-13: Ebfidelityany recommendation for one that does not need a warm up to sound good ?"Nope. Pretty much everything needs to warm up. It really shouldn't be something to consider, though. If its SS, just leave it on all the time. Tubes, mayb... | |
| PreAmps; Ref-3 vs. LS-26 I would have to agree. Normally, I can go either way with ARC preamps. But not with the REF. Its definately an excellent upgrade. | |
| Replace Classe CA-200 with Pass X350, do it? The Pass will be a much better match for your 850. Chances are that you may like it better without the ARC in the way. |
