| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps ROTFLMAO! | |
| source for long component and IC Are you saying you ICs are not balanced but are RCA? Correct, my IC's are RCA. | |
| bi-amping for VSA 4JR's yes, I have identical cables on both modules. | |
| bi-amping for VSA 4JR's I tried this with my VR4 genIII's - it is not pug and play. After fiddling with it for a day I punted. I ended up with a vertical biamp arrangement using identical Electron Kinetics Eagle 4 SS power amps. It's a fair bit better than using just one... | |
| source for long component and IC I have Bluejeans LC-1 IC's in my home theater. The shortest are 28ft, longest 33'(rears) and I've been very happy with them. My home theater is a dual purpose (ie 2 channel) systems, and as a baseline I used shorter ICs (Audience Maestro) with my ... | |
| IMHO, not enough gain in my Phono stage how much do you want to spend? There are some phono pres with adjustable gain that can neutralize the problem you have though it may not be optimal for sound quality vs turning your volume up on your line stage.I like the Jolida JD9A which can be ... | |
| Keeping Hifi Equipment For Sentimental Values I still have the first, and second pair of speakers I ever purchased. The first pair are vintage 1965 Warefdales that sounded awful, but the cabinets are very nice, and solid . They weren't worth anything so I kept them. Eventually I used the cabi... | |
| What is LFE on sub connections LFE is "Low Frequency Effects" which has to do with non-musical low frequency like earthquakes, thunder, etc. I believe the way you have it set up, both music related and Effects related low frequency will be delivered.Depending on your speakers y... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps not mentioned above - Jane Relf of the original Rennaisance, and later Illusion.Of the above I relly like - Eva Cassidy, Karla Bonoff,Allison Kraus, Margot Timmins. I'm sure I'm missing one or 2. | |
| Exposure Super XV 15 I'm not familiar with that model, but I had an Exposure preamp a few years ago and for the money it was great (I had to spend 2x to get a marginal improvement/upgrade). My expectaion is it would be a cut above the NAD. Exposure has a solid reputat... | |
| Bi-amping Snell Speakers Anyone? My experience is that passive biamping does produce an improvement, but it is not huge relative to the cost of buying another amp. I've had similar experience. I've tried many amp combinations on 2 separate systems and found one case where biampi... | |
| Bi-amping Snell Speakers Anyone? it sounds to me that while your amps are the same, they may not be matched for some reason. Did you connect in vertical or horizontal config? If Horizontal (ie one amp driving mid/tweet, the other driving bass), try vertical. If one side is louder... | |
| Parasound vs B&K vs Acurus I've owned many Parasound and B&K amps. The only Acurus component I ever owned was an ActI which I liked a lot, except for the fact you needed it to be connected to a monitor in order to tell what mode it was in.As for amps, I've owned many of... | |
| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio Unless your main speakers are capable of faithful ~20hz reproduction, yes a sub will help. In my experience imaging, and overall accuracy improves no matter the size of the room. A good sub can be tuned to fit, though selecting the sub with the ro... | |
| Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard - I agree it's not much like DCD . . . I would add this release is pure, unmistakable Klaus Schulze - with Lisa Gerrard vocals on the side (or vice-versa?) so if you like either on of those you're likely to appreciate this. |
