| Any tips for DCM TimeFrame speakers? Send me your fax or address. I'll send you a copy of the manual. What I have is only like 2 pages. These are neat speakers and envelope you in sound. My only beef with them is the limited range. They work best with a sub and supertweeters......Eme... | |
| pre amp basics 1-the creek is a warm sound if anything. If it sounds harsh in the highs, you should explore other speakers.2-I doubt the creek has enough power to drive the DCM's nicely.3-different pre-amps will sound differently. Gain usually is not a factor un... | |
| No headphone output....options??? The channel islands box will work fine. You end up having an EL34 based headphone amp. If you want to play with one, I have the same thing by another company that I'd sell wayyyyy cheaper than $150. They work great. Has volume and speaker on/off. ... | |
| why doesnt "cd direct" sound better ?? "direct" sounds way better on my anthem. It gets rid of any processing for HT that is involved and acts as a pure pre-amp from my denon dvd. Much cleaner and better for 2 channel, kind of lame for theater though. | |
| Janis Woofer substitute I had the same. The Janis is great for music and can't really be beat. However, for home theater, it is too weak. I ended up with a 15" 400 watt velodyne and don't miss the janis at all. Resale price on the Janis gear is the hardest pill to swallow. | |

| Vintage tube amp tube recommendations please. For great reading, go to www.sonicfrontiers.com They have some great articles on tubes.By the way, for newer tubes, I like golden dragons and some svetlana's. I haven't had the pleasure of trying the reissue of mullards yet. | |
| Vintage tube amp tube recommendations please. Your original fishers are probably either mullard or telefunkens. Look to see if they are made in England or if they have <> on the bottom for telefunken (it will be on the base of the tube inside the pins.$10 won't get you much for tubes. I... | |

| Yamaha B-4 ? Power Amp - Good for Maggie 1.6s? Leave the Yamaha in your closet. It may sound louder but at what cost to your ears? If the Arcam doesn't do it, bi-amping will do wonders with a better amp or you can always use a nice sub/crossover with them. Leave the Yamaha in your closet. | |

| Magnepan positioning 2 other points not mentioned:1-if you build brackets, it will be quite hard to adjust them and maggies are hard to position for a sweet spot to begin with.2-Maggies love power. Very few receivers can put out enough wattage to make maggies "sing". ... | |
