| Adcom a weak link? Perhaps you should contact Musical Design-http://www.musicaldesign.com/MC_AdcomAmp_mods.html. They perform upgrades on old Adcom's. Maybe they can do some mods to yours. Their prices seem very reasonable, too | |
| Anyone buy any music stuff from this site : music-equipments.com You don't list your country, but if you reside in S.E Asia, I suppose it would be a way to purchase equipment. Aren't there any local reviews of this company? | |
| Adcom a weak link? I have an old Adcom 555. When I restarted my audio purchases, I bought a McCormack DNA-1 which I sent for upgrade. During the upgrade I used the Adcom. I have to say that when I installed the upgraded McC, I was surprised at how well that old Adc... | |
| Buying Without Audition I agree, gillatgh, but the OP isn't near any dealers, so he has to rely on reviews. But, I agree, some reviewers are not entirely forthcoming of their relationship with the item being reviewed. But, thanks to the internet, one can get a fairly goo... | |
| Subwoofers Thanks, gillatgh.Hey, OP, have you come to any conclusions? | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? I agree with ricred1. A sealed design will provide better bass accuracy than a ported one.Looking at your room, have you considered adding acoustic treatments? | |
| Subwoofers Gee, an $8K sub for a $1K speaker.I think the OP might want something a little less expensive, even if they are worth every bit of it. | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd Like I said, just be patient, gustavos, those Paradigm just might be back in stock in the near future.(Did you ask the dealer when they would be getting more?) As far as buying used, I think all the suggestions given on this thread will be good on... | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd Gustavos, Reading back, I see you really like the Paradigm.Since your aren’t able to audition/buy the other speakers on you list, why keep banging your head? Just buy the Paradigm.There will always be other speakers/amps/preamps/cables to buy. By ... | |
| Subwoofers Wow, akg, that was a very thourough post. I hope the OP will take your advice, everything you said is true.Zardozmike, as I said, I have the 2w subs. Using the M5-HP crossover, will seamlessly combine the subs with your speakers. After having been... | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... I say- go for it. Also, remember that you may need a little extra length to allow for moving equipment and speakers around. I learned that the hard way. | |
| HESITANT with NEW member sellers Ferrox, wire transfer is probably provides the least ability to recover your money, should the deal go bad.Paypal, generally sides with the buyer. Though they usually ask you to work out any differences with the seller/buyer directly, before enter... | |
| Subwoofers I believe Vandersteen 2w and 2wq's are often paired with Maggies to great results.But, I am prejudiced, cause I own them.I have also heard good things about Hsu subs in terms of sound, but not regarding pairing with Maggies.Have you checked the Ag... | |
| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. I guess hiendmmoe is saying that the Sain cables are much less than the 'super high end' cables costing in the 5 digit realm, yet provide equal/superior results.But, I agree, 'Giant Killer' is usually meant to refer to products that are at a lower... | |
| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. Lustformusic, I hear you.I think you and Almarg should combine forces. |
