| Best high end monitors? Totem monitors have been described as meaty more than any other descriptive term. Several mfgrs voice with Totem. Imaging that will frighten you. | |
| Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical? Following the advice of mfgrs who know much more than I has worked too many times to count. Perhaps you are using monitors too close to the back wall. In theater applications asymmetrical is the way. Please try what these folks (mfgrs) recommend f... | |
| Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical? Again, if using monitors, stereo subs next to them is definitely the general recommendation. And it most assuredly does matter that much! | |
| Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical? Using two different size subs can be very helpful in evening out room nodes. Place them at opposite ends of the room. With monitors as mains, I would use two identical subs. Proper integration is way more than twice as difficult, but the effort is... | |
| CD player connected directly to Amplifier? I have yet to hear a high end cd player sound as good as when incorporating an equal quality preamp. | |
| Why Transparent Cable? for Wilsons.... options? Ditto on Transparent voicing with Wilson and vice-versa. Their upgrade program deserves applause. Save your allowance and stay with Transparent. Tara works extremely well with Wilson, but you just don't see their better cables come up very often. ... | |
| Can digital cables be used as interconnects? No, But they can be used for component video. You'll need three. Having an old set of High Quality (slim pickin's) comp video cables can make three digital cables. Good to use for cable box or XM reciever. | |
| Why Transparent Cable? for Wilsons.... options? How is it that you can afford Wilson and not the appropriate peripherals? This seems akin to putting retreads on a Ferrari. Or running unleaded gas in a 70s era muscle car. You are missing out on the potential of these speakers. | |
| the Digital Millineum Copyright Act criminalizes Lloyd, Rest assured lawyers for several mfgrs have had a good look at this issue. Your music is yours. Selling, loaning or making available is when trouble comes. Not sharing any potential revenue stream is what has the labels upset. I actually pa... | |
| Speed Problem with Merrill turntable Call George. I wouldn't let anybody else touch one of his tables. | |
| Krell cast MMF versus others Mag, Unfortunately I think you have answered your own question. Mogami is big in the pro world, primarily because it is inexpensive. However you can read about studios and lots of musicians or bands who have discovered the difference quality cabli... | |
| Are some cord companies "potting" the Oyaide ends? 777, It is also done to effect reliability. It is much more difficult to have screws loosen or pull the cable completely out. It's a liability thing. Oxidation could certainly be reduced with the right product. | |
| Upgrade Receptacle on 15A breaker Sound, No not necessarily. 12 guage is code for 20A. This topic is covered in other threads, but I suggest you call a licensed electrician. | |
| Levinson 333 Upgrad to 436 Monoblock C, I say go for it. Totem recommends the best front end one can get. I run Krell into Totem. You won't be sorry. | |
| Help with a de-emphasis list? Shadorne, So once again it comes down to implementation. I will have to bring this CD with me to auditions, in addition to my demo favs. I talked to Benchmark today, and they confirmed a flag trips the de-emp circuit. I have been wanting to auditi... |
