| Best place to consign classical LPs in NYC? In Tampa, the Sound Exchange sells classical lp's for 2.99 to 3.99 for readily available titles in exc.+ to NM condition and over $100 in the case of rare collectibles. They are one of two outlets for classical vinyl in my area. I imagine they are... | |
| why do we argue? As a long time reader and poster to this forum, I have the impression that a large proportion of the most contentious arguments evolve out of two beliefs: #1. Why things sound the way they do can be explained through current knowledge of science a... | |
| why use towers if you've got a sub?? Ray, if you look at the very top of the page, you'll see in the second line "learn-forums-home theater." Still, I'm not sure why whether one has two, three, five, or seven channels really matters with regard to the original question. Unless I'm mi... | |
| why use towers if you've got a sub?? Interesting the way we all think and hear differently about this. I find a sub to be near essential for music, even with near full range tower speakers. I don't give a hoot for home theater applications, so it's strictly about music for me. Perhap... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Georgmg, what was your impression of the reception given to the Piano Cera and Piano X-tender subwoofer combination? While I'm sure they sounded excellent, the aesthetics of four towers the same size seemed a bit "eccentric" to me. I've seen no me... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Hope you enjoy your new Piano Ceras johngp. If they give you as much listening pleasure as they're giving me, you're in for a treat! At the end of every listening session, I shake my head in wonder at what wonderful tools they are for turning elec... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Hope you enjoy the upgrade Linkster, let us know how it works out for you. | |
| how do you level a turntable? If you have a turntable with soft feet, the above methods would be fine. If you have a turntable with hard feet or cones, using soft shims may affect the sound of the table. I use a 3 1/2" thick maple platform under my turntable. To level the plat... | |
| 3M Sound Damping Foil Tape I seriously doubt anything that thin and inexpensive is going to beneficially affect the resonant properties of your mdf shelving. That stuff is designed to dampen vibrations in metal air ducts, a completely different material and application. For... | |
| Best budget amp match with ProAc Tablettes Can't offer an opinion about the amp question, but I imagine the Arcam FMJ CD37 would "play well" with pretty much any partnered equipment possessed of reasonably balanced sound. I bought one as a temporary replacement while another sacd player wa... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Well Argyro & Bvdiman, there's definitely substance in your advice to look for a higher powered amp to help satisfy my yen for more bass. I installed an old back up amp, a 150 watt PS Audio HCA-2 that was modified by Reference Audio Mods. Whil... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Thanks for your insights Bvdiman. I have definitely been considering the factors you mention. The power rating on the Aloia amp is rather deceiving and strangely stated. What the designer intends to state is that it will never deliver less than 30... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Yes, my set has three vario-gain adjustments for bass and I'm using the setting that has the most bass enhancement. As I was listening last night, I thought the bass of the Pianos is so "almost right." If the F3 point were only something like 28hz... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Rower30's current thread "High Quality Subwoofers - which one" has a lot of helpful information about a number of the subs I'm considering. In the past, I have integrated a sub successfully with Magnepan 1.6's in the same room and location I'm con... | |
| Best Small Floorstander for Rock Music -Magico/B&W Add the Tidal Piano Cera to your considerations. I just bought a pair of these and they do every genre of music justice IMO. They allow for three low frequency adjustment curves and two high frequency adjustments to tune the speakers to a rooms si... |
