| proac tablette - signatures / rainmakers, et al The latest Norah Jones album kicks ass, but I understand. I should have mentioned that the Silverlines were raved about and are a relative bargain compared to Harbeths and Proacs (a third or so of the price). | |
| help identifying bass solutions with system That is funny...low bass! Means exactly 2 opposite things! | |
| Are Cables Better Than High Grade Speaker Wire? I became aware of speaker cable differences when I bought better speakers (Vandersteen 1Bs in maybe 1991 or so)...before that I simply bought larger gauge for longer runs, such as for pro PA needs. Back then I found that some AQ sounded better tha... | |
| help identifying bass solutions with system Moving my Linn to the recommended (interestingly) "light but stable" lowish table worked for me...also I absolutely need the 20hz rumble filter that comes with my Cambridge 640P phono preamp or it's a woofer pumpfest. | |
| proac tablette - signatures / rainmakers, et al Add Silverline Minuets...sound great. | |
| Shun Mook Record Weight My now dead former neighbor Lars had the entire Mpingo disk treatment in his isolated sound room...installed by the Shun Mook dudes...absolute expensive audio exotica stuck to speakers, walls, on little stands...I'm not sure if it made much differ... | |
| Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000 Although I think you're wrong about the Preludes (I use 'em, and they sound steller due to my careful setup of brilliantly matched ancillary component choices stemming from years of personal wonderfulness), I recently spent some time with a pair o... | |
| Armoire between speakers Keep in mind that a reflective surface well behind the plane of the baffle will reflect some bass rolloff to the sides where you aren't. Unless you are, in which case you should move back to the sweet spot and stop looking out the window at the in... | |
| Armoire between speakers I used to think you had to have that middle "free space" but I found it all depends on what type of speakers you use...I have the "fireplace in the middle" issue and having moved my current speakers (Silverline Preludes) all over the room I finall... | |
| Praise for DacMagic According to a discussion I just had with Audio Advisor, the P100 will work with the "plus" as soon as they get a cable that fits (none of the supplied cables work because of a larger center pin on the "plus" PS input). So there. | |
| Praise for DacMagic The original DACMagic is designed for 12 volt DC also. At least that's what it says on the PS input. | |
| what would cause volume to sudden ramp up to full? It is true that the helicoptor distracts from listening, but it only flies for 10 minutes maybe (before needing recharging) so it's a sacrifice I feel I can make. I never fly it when listening to LPs as I'm afraid I'll crash it into my turntable..... | |
| what would cause volume to sudden ramp up to full? A perhaps related note: I cannot use my preamp remote (Kavent S-33) when operating my little remote indoor helicoptor...I've had the helicoptor hovering in its gyro mode while attempting to adjust the Kavent and the volume goes insane causing me t... | |
| Isolation pads for the speaker stands I put some Vibrapods under my Silverline Preludes not really expecting anything (I mean really...I've been spiking speakers into floors for decades...wasn't I supposed to?) and I'm amazed at how well that works. Highly recommended as a really chea... | |
