| So whats your favorite music themed movie? Shine. | |
| CD transport for messed up Arcam I would guess a laser is heading south, although it could be a bad board. Eventually, you'll need a tech. | |
| Mission speakers M 72 is very good stock. I worked up a pair with Auricaps, Audioquest Type 6 cable, rope caulked the corners and they turned into very capable speakers. They get the vocals mostly right, acoustic piano attack was respectable and bass quick enough.... | |
| High efficiency speakers Coincident from Israel Blume. | |
| Arcam Alpha 7 - Worth Keeping or Selling Great amp for the money. Get some Tuner cleaner from Rat Shack and squirt the hell out of it (volume potentiometer)and turn it back and forth. Let it set for 1 hour, repeat. Reassemble and enjoy. Should take care of the problem. | |
| Simple System for a Super Senior? I purchased the Arcam Mini Solo and love its ease of use and sound. Suprisingly good sound. Paired it with Dynaudio 42s and it sings. Remote is simple enough and unit is very stylish and compact. | |
| IPOD Y Cable I use the Signal Cable Y cable and it's great. Use it with an iRiver 450 Walkman type player. | |
| Tweeks for Thorens TD125/SME 3009 We used to drop STP onto the bearing/spindle and that would quiet the noise floor. | |
| LCD TV - Are they reliable ? I researched for 18 months before purchasing an LCD. The Samsung and Sharp are both great. However, did the Sony XBR 52" when all was said and done. Don't even like Sony that much as they are oft overpriced, but they do know their LCD work. Did no... | |
| My soundstage is terrible. i need help bad. Ngjockey is probably correct with placement. Also, this Pioneer receiver is not going to soundstage that well. Everything else looks okay including the PSB speaks. You did not mention CD/DVD source which could also be out of whack here. | |
| need help -- budget system for a friend.... Arcam Solo Mini and Mordaunt-Short Carnival 1 monitors plus Signal Cable speakers cables and stands. New price would be $1,300, so used should hit the $1,000 mark. I see the Mordaunt-Shorts for around $170/pr. new. | |
| "Budget" cable advice, please Second the Signal Cable. Very difficult to match, nearly impossible to beat for the money. Usually need to spend 2-3 times more to beat them outright. I'm very familiar with the PS Elite. The preamp section is still quite viable, however, and it i... | |
| sub+satellite or full range? Monitor Audio R90 sats with the R360 sub are quite good, affordable, beautiful in Rosenut (both sat & sub) and have a very high WAF. Nothing to sneeze at. | |
| Best Louis Armstrong LP to Start With? Second the Ella & Louis Again. Vintage Armstrong and very decent non-monkeyed with recordings. | |
| What do you do with all those CD's?? Need CDs live in the same area as the system. I keep 1,400 in a custom built floor to ceiling cabinet in a spare bedroom and simply haul them out by the handful when needed. |
