| The best speaker you ever heard? 2008 CES- Venetian. MBL 101 powered by MBL Amps. Incredible display of brute power. You never heard Pink Floyd like this. | |
| Help with wobbly rack A diagonal brace, from corner to corner, on the plane where there is movement, will solve your problem also. Any good cabinet maker or trim carpenter should be able to help you. | |
| Smallest speakers that ROCK I have been using Totem's Mani 2 for the past 6 mos. and these babies rock. Important- they must be properly powered to really open them up, light weights need not apply. I am powering them with a 250 wpc Bryston amp and they have been spectacular... | |
| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? It's always wise to question orthodoxy. When i defend a position in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary I am just looking for attention. Since humans first banged sticks on logs no 4 people have had a greater influence on music. | |
| Best things 'in life' If you are a wine lover check out Cameron Hughes.com. The wine you can get for $20- a bottle is incredible and they have great champagne also. The best lobster roll- The little lobster shack at the end of Commercial St in little, sleepy Clinton CT... | |
| $300 Budget - help Good luck and I hope you enjoy. When I discovered music on vinyl it was like listening to the great musicians for the first time all over again. It would be nice to hear back from you as to what you purchased and then after you've had a chance to ... | |
| $300 Budget - help Probably a silly question, but why does it matter if it's built like a tank? Good build quality is one thing, but it would sit on my audio stand and not move for 5 years. Anyway, it sounds like I have to find some audio stores and demo some equipm... | |
| $300 Budget - help Do not go by the looks of the Technics, it is built like a tank. Do a quick search on Technics or go to www.kabusa.com. Under $1k you will not find a better built table and it is a blast to play. Easy to set up and a great upgrade path. One thing ... | |
| $300 Budget - help The tables that have been recommended to you have very little risk. You would almost certainly get back close to what you paid if you want to upgrade or get out of analog. | |
| What speaker would be good for Krell rack? How you guys can mention Usher in the same breath with Vandersteen, Theil or Totem is beyond me. I'm sure it's something with me but I can't listen to them for more than 15 minutes without heading for the hills. Tubes or SS, vinyl or digital doesn... | |
| What speaker would be good for Krell rack? Krell is exceptional with Totem Mani's or Model One if you are interested in a monitor that can give honest bass. No subs need apply here. They really sound beautiful. You also won't go wrong with Theil's, as mentioned. You should demo both and se... | |
| Turntable/Subwoofer Ground loop I think you want to invert the phase of the sub, instead of turntable. | |
| Help Turntable too far from preamp My experience with ic's has been to increase the quality of the cable to try and offset any loss from length. Keeping the table further from the amp should result in less interference. If you can't resolve the issue by moving the table 16 inches (... | |
| What is the "best" cartridge a Technics 1210... I tried 4 or 5 carts with my KAB deck, I could live with any but I'll list from my fav to my least1. Goldring 1042- just plain sweet with this deck, by far my favorite. At 1.5 gr it tracks great and deals well with any extraneous noise.2. AT 150ml... | |
| Totem Model One: Woofer buzzing, help please? My experience with Totem has been exceptional, they should be able to troubleshoot your speakers. If you do have to replace the woofers I hope they are not the same as my Mani1's, a concentric pair of drivers in each box. That could become expensi... |
