| sand versus shot in speaker stands Find a store near you that sells sand blasting shot. Make sure that is the silica sand type. It is dry and will not clump. I bought a 50# bag at a local tractor supply store for $8. It is more than heavy enough and does a good job dampening resona... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Macrojack had hit it right on the head. This is pretty much the same method I use when I decide whether I like a component or not. The one thing I try to do with the new component is leave it in the system for a couple of weeks and listen every da... | |
| Tyler U7? The 7U's do not have the same drivers as the Linbrook monitors. The 7U's use the Scanspeak Revelator tweeter while the Linbrooks use the Seas Millenium. They both use two of the Seas 7" midbass drivers. I am not sure when they were first produced,... | |
| The little guys? Here is another vote for Ridge Street Audio. I will also add a recommendation for FIM/CRL cabling with the caveat that you can manage to get them wrestled into place. They are very stiff cables but sound excellent.I have tried many cables in my sy... | |
| What's your profession? Age? I work as a maintenance mechanic at a nuclear power station repairing pumps, valves, ventilation systems and other piping components. I will be 45 in a couple of weeks. My system retails for about 30k and I have about 17k invested. | |
| Totem Owners.... There are many people that post on these threads that are devoted to the brand they choose and will make claims similar to those that Zieman did above. I agree that dealers should identify themselves when bragging about their product so as to diff... | |
| Totem Owners.... Thank God the thread police (AKA AudioFeil) has shown up on another thread to save all of us from the other evil dealers. Give it a break, because I for one am tired of seeing it on so many threads that I read here. The advice of each and every pe... | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass You did not mention any restrictions on speaker size so I am going to suggest the Emerald Physics CS-2's. They are a floor standing 2 way with an active digital crossover and require biamping. They are rated to 20 hz on the bottom end and the bass... | |
| Aragon to Classe..... I would not be in such a hurry to get rid of the Aragon amp.My original purchase of any high end equipment was an Aragon 2004 MK II that I purchased new in 1991. I liked it enough that I kept it until a couple of years ago when I needed more power... | |
| Legacy Silver Screen issues Where do you have the Silver screen placed?. I had one with at one time with a pair of the original Focus. I tried it in several different locations. It sounded horrible on top of the big screen TV. I finally settled for a stand in front of the TV... | |
| Best U.S.A. speakers? 07-10-08: Kana813What difference should it make if speakers are made in the united states, the only things that matter are sound/build quality.PS- I get a kick out of USA direct sale companies like Salk saying of their HT3s, that: "Normally, speak... | |
| Best U.S.A. speakers? I heard the Ridge Street Audio Sason's at the Audiokharma show in Detroit and then later at a private listening session in an owner's home. Absolutely incredible sounding speakers, the most natural sounding I've ever heard. All of the audiophile b... | |
| Are planar speakers less prone to room interaction I don't know what your budget is but a used pair of Legacy Whispers would fit the bill nicely. They have a compound dipole bass alignment provided by four 15" woofers per side. They have a dispersion of <90 degrees at all frequencies which woul... | |
| Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions? In regards to the discussion about the sales pitch above, I did not notice one either. I would rather have someone responding to ads that has experience with components at or near that price range no matter what their affiliation to any brand. It ... | |
| Walkers SST silver treatment Wow, thank God you are ok. Still, it must leave you as busy as a one handed cable manufacturer! Hopefully rehab is going well. I hope everyone has learned their lesson here. (Nice story Robert) |
