| Best Option In A Silver CD/SACD Player $1k Or Less Don't give an inch. If you do, you'll be sorry. Silver CD players go to potted plants on the speakers a lot faster than you may think. | |
| Laser recommendation for Spkr set-up? "Do yourself a favor and don't go out to a decent dinner one weekend and put the $$ into the Bosch. Trust me: A NO Brainer. Have fun."As luck would have it, I can eat tonight. I already have a laser level and a laser ruler. If you look at my first... | |
| Laser recommendation for Spkr set-up? "NOT overkill...every speaker set up will be dramatically easier and sound dramatically better than if you didn't use it."I meant for accuracy, not convenience. You can still do just as good a job without it. It will just take you longer. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 to 3.7i or Pass Labs XA60.5 to X100.5 I had the 1.7's and thought the bass was the best quality the speaker had. It was a quality over quantity issue. The only problem with that is that it makes it very difficult to integrate a sub. On top of that, your room is not that big. Will your... | |
| NAD T765 Audyssey microphone Its supposed to come with the receiver. If you call NAD, they'll probably just send you one. They're not expensive.You can also do the setup using an spl meter. It takes a little longer, but I think you get better results. | |
| Laser recommendation for Spkr set-up? You should be able to set your speakers up without using a laser and get results that are just as good. For certain speakers, like Vandersteen, a laser makes more sense because you have to set the back tilt. But its still not necessary. Its more o... | |
| Is this a good leveling tool? What do you make of this?"That’s good advice. How do you prepare?A firm, level work surface is necessary. Basic hand tools are required along with any special tools needed for tonearm or suspension adjustments. Special tools are usually furnished ... | |
| Battery power for Trends 10.1 Is that what you were looking for? | |
| Magnepan 1.7 to 3.7i or Pass Labs XA60.5 to X100.5 In a smaller room like you have, you may have a difficult time getting your system to reproduce low notes. Have you compared how your system sounds when you listen with the door open and closed? If not, it would be a worthwhile experiment.Also, I ... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Maybe that's why my VAC 30/30 worked so well with my SL-3's.If this is the case for ESL's, that leaves me with 1 question. Does it matter? To make low notes, the amp needs to make the speaker move a lot of air. Not so for high frequencies. So, for... | |
| Cables more hype than value? "Innomarata on 5/15 is from another reviewer, Greg Petan, not Douglas Schroeder. If there is another review by Schroeder on it I'd love to see a link to it."I was looking at looking at something that Schroeder wrote on dagogo, and I thought that w... | |
| Cables more hype than value? "I believe that's more than one word."I was referring to the review he did on the Wells Audio amp on dagogo May 2015. If he had such a profound experience with the ABX tester he just reviewed in April 2015, I would expect to see it take part in an... | |
| good, cheap cable for headphones? Try Cable Company. They'll give you an honest answer as to what you should expect. | |
| Battery power for Trends 10.1 Go to northerntool.com and look at the The NPower Dominator 1000 Powerpack. It has an inverter with regular outlets built. How long it lasts will depend on what type components you plug into it, and how efficient your speakers are. | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers That seems to be the opposite of what it is for most other speakers. Maybe there's something unique about that particular design. |
