| Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection +1 for the Elac Debut 2.0. I bought a pair for $244 about three weeks ago. They have about 60 hours playing time on them, and this morning as I've been sitting here listening to them, opened up further to a new degree of spaciousness. The sound... | |
| M&K Bookshelf 75 or Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 ? I ended up with a new pair of the Elacs for $244. I've been running music through them for several hours each day now for about a week. Yesterday I finally got around to pumping some volume through them, and I can't remember which CD I was playi... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? What was heard during the tape deck era?Invariably, some level of hiss. | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? In the next three weeks, if you DO somehow make a determination that the amp you received was defective in some way and was not as it was represented, forget what the seller says as far as refunds. He can refuse 'till he's blue in the face. It w... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) Assuming you are not looking for powered speakers such as AUDIOENGINE, the ELAC B 6.2 currently at $244 /pr. is pretty hard to beat. I just jumped on these yesterday on Music Direct, matter of fact. I had been looking at B stock units on Ela... | |
| Best debut album Jaco Pastorius' self-titled debut. Audible sublimation. I'll second Pearl Jam's "Ten" - one of the best front-to-back debut albums I've ever heard from a song quality perspective - Hendrix, and may of the other usual suspects.I would also add:No... | |
| Covering a TV behind your speakers? I’ve heard a couple of folks say the audio sound field is in front of the TV, thus no effect, so no worry about reflections from the TV behind it. How, exactly, does that theory work with my MMGs? Or any other bipolar speaker that radiates sound f... | |

| Parasound P6 Volume control increments. FWIW, I have a P5 running into a B&K EX-442 Sonata and the volume control acts similarly. The control knob (no digital display on the P5) typically sits at 12 o'clock - the P5's halfway point - before things really open up. Depending on the ... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? I like the design of the REL subwoofers. Rythmik would also be another option. I bought a Rythmik F12G from an A'gon member a few years ago. He told me something about setting it up that was spot on and relates to the earlier reference to ti... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Les McCann and Eddie HarrisSwiss Movement “Live at Montreaux Festival” I just sold a R2R version of that not long ago. Great jazz. Alvin Lee/Ten Years Later "Ride On". "ZZ Top’s First Album". Jaco’s self-titled debut "Jaco Pastorius". Yes, "The Y... | |
| Power Conditioners I'm rural, and my area is subjected to power spikes, dips and outages. Some years ago I bought a Belkin PF60 (https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-belkin-pure-av-silver-series-pf-60-ac-filter) for the surge protection, not any power "con... | |
| confused and don't know what to do “here is my advice. Get a preamp with home theatre bypass. Plug all youR music sources into this preamp. Get a badass two channel amp for the front speakers. Get as good of a multi channel amp for the other speakers.”This is what I, too, did. I g... | |
