| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test I think spikes have more to do with bass energy in the cabinet than movement. Take a look at Vandersteen model 2 speakers while playing music with a lot of bass energy. Even with the speaker sitting on stands with spikes the top of the speaker has... | |
| How do I smooth out violins? "Trust me, if they had found anything wrong or bad with a 350$ CD player, they would have shouted it to the roof-tops."Unless Marantz advertises in their magazine. | |
| How do I smooth out violins? The problem with a reference recording is it can sound completely different on every system it's played on. Does that make one system bad and another good? I don't think so. Every system I have assembled gets the most from a separate group of reco... | |
| How do I smooth out violins? Hi Al, Good point. I also noticed he is comparing his system to live music, so there is a chance it could be over processed recordings. | |

| The Lawyers Have Taken Over Audio Schubert, It's all relative to your income level. At least we know who buys the ultra expensive stereo equipment. It's the poor banks we needed to bailout. | |
| Does it matter which component I power up first? Then you leave the tube preamp on 24/7 too. | |
| Does it matter which component I power up first? Any tube preamp without auto mute should be turned on first and given enough time to stabilize before turning on the amplifier. | |
| tube amp storage I do not think there is an exact number, but it is better to be safe than sorry. | |
| How many watts per channel are enough? I also agree with Zd542. Watt ratings of amplifiers is like horsepower ratings of cars. It is tricky. |
