| Acoustic Zen Adagio Speakers? My Adagio experience:I am on my second pair of Adagios. I had a pair a few years back and ran them with an 845 based tube amp that was only 22 watts. It sounded OK but I could never really get the tweeters to "wake up" unless I drove them at a hig... | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? Interesting post...I have owned 520s, V602s, Tiny Dancers, and now Mini Dancer 2s. I have the BE version and couldn't be happier (the tweeter could be made out of cardboard and I wouldn't care). The BE version sounds heavenly and is one of the mos... | |
| Cary integrated vs. Rogue Cronus Magnum I think a big factor after (or before) sound quality is customer service. I have owned Cayin, Prima Luna, and now a Cronus Magnum. I have been able to call or email Rogue with questions and have always gotten a prompt response. Rogues service afte... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer? Unoear and Lewm,You bring up valid points! I was just busting Norms chops and did not intend to suggest everyone over 65 should stop enjoying hi-end audio or has a valid view point. In fact, I have several Audio friends who are in the Norm year... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer? Norm (Tbg),I am not sure a person your age (mid 70s) and audio biases can tell the difference between a "giant killer" and a placebo(see below). You have already proven that by arguing a 1" tall jar of pebbles improves your system just by sitting ... | |
| Usher Dancers - advice on finishes Bezimienny,I recently purchased a pair of Mini 2s in maple. The finish is done right. The wood has a beautiful grain and looks classy not cheap. I think the light color helps the grain on the wood sides stand out and highlights the curves as well.... | |
| Klipsch Heresy - Recommendations for stands Jimmdavis,Thanks, I like the hanging look. I wonder if it comes in a crouchet weave like my Mother used to hang plants with in the 70s? I think there needs to be beads added with shag carpeting under it. Maybe put shag carteting on the speakers so... | |
| Klipsch Heresy - Recommendations for stands Zieman and Jgiacalo,Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, the room does not allow for the speakers to be on the floor due to the pool table placement. I need to elevate them about 24". I did have them up 24" and they sounded very nice.Thanks,Bud | |
| Adding a second sub Thirsty93,Good question. I am adding a second sub HT system using a Rotel 965 receiver. I am planning on running another pair of cables from the speaker terminals to the high level inputs on the subs.Upscale Audio recommends this connection type o... | |
| Klipsch Heresy: Inexpensive Int. Amps or Receivers I picked up a pair of Heresys and a Luxman R-1050 (55wpc) reciever this weekend. I was floored at how good the pair sounded. The Luxman has a very tube like sound with the grip of a SS amp. More detail and clarity than I was expecting. Very life l... | |
| TADAC owners - which best 12au7 tubes? Myraj,Great choice of DACs. I bought a used TADAC about a year ago and loved it so much I bought a new one from Paul for a second system (Cambridge 840A and Focal 807Vs). After a number of tubes (Tong-Sol, Radiotechnique, RCA, and Siemens) I chose... | |
| Tweaks that convince others you're truly nuts... Stringreen,Thanks for the info. I have not used Ginkos so I was not aware they were solid. My comment on them was more of a visual discription. The microscope platforms seem to go on the idea that the least amount of material between the platform ... | |
| Tweaks that convince others you're truly nuts... Yes, I am truly nuts...I wanted to see how little I could spend to create an isolation platform for my amp. I did research on microscope platforms due to their similar need to stop vibration. There were a few manufacturers who used an inflatable b... | |
| DALI Euphonia MS5 in smaller room Azmoon,Thanks for your help. Bud | |
| DALI Euphonia MS5 in smaller room Good thread!I am planning on putting a pair of MS5s in a 17.6' wide by 14' deep loft with 10' ceilings. The speakers will go on the long wall so they won't be in corners but I will have to sit between 8 and 10 feet away. The loft is open behind th... |
