| My Audio Research experience This is turning into another "Synergistic Red Fuse" thread. What’s up with you people? The guy who started this thread has moved on to better things, like listening to music, and everyone else is taking each other apart. Shouldn’t you guys be list... | |
| Does anyone notice a reduction in sound quality when a tuner is part of ther audio chain? "...system sounds much better when my streamer is unplugged.."Really? Can you please elaborate on how are your components physically organized, e.g., one on top of the other, on a rack, etc., particularly the streamer? Also, some specifics about t... | |
| Floor Standing Speakers That Would Sound Good With the NAD Integrated Amplifier. I completely agree with akg_ca in that with certain gear, particularly in the mid-hifi range, you'll reach a point of diminishing return when choosing speakers. I've experienced that with a couple of integrated amplifiers that I've owned in the &l... | |
| Recomendations on Modern Mcintosh Amps I have nothing to add but thank you for posing this question. I have the MC2200 amps - a pair configured an monos, and have been itching to ask the same question. By the way, you can easily convert those barrier strip connections to spade/banana p... | |
| JBL Paragons Sorry about your loss. At the risk of stating the obvious, I suggest taking some good pictures of the speakers and post a for sale ad in Audiogon. It only cost $10 and it gets a wide exposure to folks looking for all sorts of audio gear. As a side... | |
| My Audio Research experience I heard the Carver Cherry 180 monoblocks paired with some line array speakers at the NY audio show last year and at $6K a pair I thought they were the best value in the entire show. If I were in the market for a high powered - 200 wpc, tube power,... | |
| How would you get into the biz? The two way bookshelf stand mount or floor standing design is probably the most saturated format in the speaker market. If the goal is to make a living in making speakers, one has to stand out from the rest by offering something that is so differe... | |
| Vintage amps & power cords Curiously, almost all "vintage" cords appear to be two pronged. It this something to consider when making the conversion to the modern three pronged IEC type cord? | |
| Meadowlark Ospreys.. fighting under their weight class? You have great electronics so the chances are whatever speakers impressed you at the show will sound even better in your own home. At least that's been my experience, albeit limited, when I heard speakers at shows in those dinky room setups. | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? "... the price of BMWs during the 1980s. In the 1970s and earlier they used ot cost about the same as a Buick"1970s and earlier BMW NA was not even in play. But that aside, drive a 1980s Buick and a BMW 3 series of the same era - 320i, back to ba... | |
| Speaker Break In Question - going from single wired to bi-wired I think the thread diverted from what the OP was asking about but for me the best bi-amping approach was using an identical pair of stereo amps (MC2200) switched to mono and hooked to bi-wired capable speakers using two pairs of cables. I had to u... | |
| Goldenear Triton 1 vs Goldenear reference speakers. What's the retail price for the pair of Reference? | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? Six inputs with six (or more) different suggestions for amps. What they all have in common is high powered solid state designs. The rest is completely subjective. This is even without any considerations for the preamplifier that might be paired wi... | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? I've heard the Aerial 7B paired with a Krell KSA 150 extensively at a friend's house and I think they sound fantastic with any type of music. He also has a Mark Levinson 331 which we occasionally share but we both thought the 7B sounded "fuller" w... | |
| Vintage amps & power cords My intent was not to begin a debate about the virtues of aftermarket power cords. Personally, I know they do contribute to sound quality, especially in high current/voltage/power solid state power amplifiers. Impact on resale value aside, I would ... |
