| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions I don't dislike B&W speakers, but they were my first foray into "better" equipment, and I would just like to try something different. Despite the fact that the majority of my audio equipment is solid state, I really long for the sound of tubes... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions Yes, by mains I did mean my front speakers - guess I should have been more specific. Once I have upgraded my front speakers, I would probably use my CM4s for the rear speakers until I could get something else. I just can't afford to buy new fronts... | |
| Do You Have a Homemade Record Cleaning Machine? Paul - I haven't forgotten that I need to send you some pictures of my RCM - I just haven't quite finished it yet. My equipment rack finally made it here and I've been busy setting it up and setting up my turntable. Maybe this weekend....Holly | |
| Should you use cleaner on your stylus? Thanks for the info on the using an artist's brush. Nice and cheap - the Last Stylus brush, which I was considering, is $20.Holly | |
| Should you use cleaner on your stylus? I was planning to use both Mr Clean and Zerodust - got a great deal on the Zerodust or I would just be using the Mr. Clean eraser. Doug, et al - Like flharris, I would like to know what brand of stylus brush is recommended...Holly | |
| Morch DP6 and vertical damping - pros & cons?? Thanks, Doug. When Chris and I took the DP6 and ZYX cartridge out for a test run on his Model 255, the tonearm had zero silicone damping in it and the system sounded really good. I will take your advice and leave the pivot point chamber without si... | |
| Teres Owners - Please help I am in the process of actually setting up my Teres, at last. Finally got my HHG equipment stand on Friday so I could complete this set up. Because of space constraints I had to put all of my audio components on one stand instead of having the tur... | |
| Turntable Purchase Suggestion As another newbie, still building my turntable, my opinion may not carry much weight, but here it is anyway. :-D I will "third" the recommendation for you to get a Teres turntable. I could only afford the Model 160, birch base and lead-filled acry... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music I obviously don't have the experience to answer this, Aggielaw. All I can say is that my new, sealed, 10" sub is great for 2-channel music. It probably won't be perfect for HT, but I think it will be O.K.. I suppose if I find it unsatisfactory, I ... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music I haven't yet watched any DVDs since I installed my new sub, but I have played a lot of CDs, and the Rocket UFW10 is wonderful for music! I hope to watch some DVDs later this week to see how it does with them.Thanks again for the recommendation, N... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music Thanks Dave! I know that the sub may bottom out on some of the action movies, but I think it will do just the same. It is definitely better than the Velodyne I have, which only had an 8" driver and (I think) only went down to the mid 30's in low f... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music Hi Sailfishben - At some point in this thread, I did post my Velodyne model - the CHT-8. nothing even close to the quality that the direct drive Velodyne's are reputed to have! Now you know why I wanted to replace it!If I had the money, I would ha... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music Well, after all of this, and everyone's recommendations, I just bought the Onix UFW10. Your fault, newbie13. (j/k) I have spent the morning reading reviews by users, etc., and the Rocket really sounds like what I want. What finally tipped the bala... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music I really like what I have read about the Rocket Onix UFW-10. Great price and good looks, too! How important is it for a sub to be able to go below 25Hz? | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music I have read that passive subs can be better than active subs, since the enclosure doesn't contain the potential interference from an internal amp. But, I really don't have the room for another piece of equipment (another amp for the sub) so that i... |
