| WHICH SPEAKERS? Well, as folks are adding their two cents regarding the Talons, I might as well too. Don't listen to them. I wish I hadn't. I came home with an awful case of speaker envy. They are really quite astounding. Secondly, for the nay-sayers, I think tha... | |
| NATURAL CHERRY VENEER Does anyone have a good tricks for evening out slight scratches or dings in a cherry finish? Generally speaking, all good woods seem to benefit from a little maintenance, but I'm a little wary about what to unleash here. Any suggestions? | |
| Talon Audio Khorus??? Heard them a couple of weeks ago at a dealer--driven by a Wadia 861 and some Rowland monoblocks, forget which--and was pretty much stunned. (Have to admit, thought, that I have not done all that much critical listening to similarly priced speakers... | |
| True Bookshelf speakers--which best?! Well, if you are really interested in hearing what may be (at least among) the best, I would recomend trying out the new Talon Peregrine. Expensive, but, if I were in the market for a bookshelf speaker, this is the one I would covet. Indeed, I do.... | |
| Why can't my components just get along? Well, I went and consulted one of the local stereomongers and I think we've got it licked. Agreed, the power strip was not good, but it was not the cause of the distortion (but it did get a proper upgrade, while I was at it). After polling the res... | |
| Why can't my components just get along? Sigh, once again, I cannot deny the wisdom of your words. Looks like I've got an excuse to shell out some more duckets. Tice has been running a deal on old-model Power Block IIIB's ever since they retooled a "C" version, maybe I'll suck it up and ... | |
| Help identifying a ground loop hum Much thanks. On the road to salvation. | |
| Static discharge - strange effect on amp Ok, THAT was a cool reply. Cudos. | |
| Help identifying a ground loop hum Thanks for the replies. More details I can do. The preamp is a VTL 2.5. No cable TV. Yes, the tubes are noisey--I've replaced a particularly bad one and am considering switching out the stock tubes all together--but that's another story. The hum I... | |
| When's that "sound" an bad tube? Sure enough, the bum tube was the first one I switched. Better yet, cause the thing is only two months old, I get a new one for free. Question is, does the fact that a tube went sour after only two months mean that I should be worried about someth... | |
| It's not the sound I want! I'd echo much of the above comments primarily because I found myself in nearly the same position--and there was no mistaking that the "cure" was a new CD player. I had managed to scrape together some Thiel 2.3's, and Bryston 4B-ST amp, and a VTL p... | |
| Budget Insulation Advice If I had a dime for every time I wanted to do exactly that, (turn it up and wait till they came a'knocking) I'd buy my own house and pay off the cops to let me play as loud as I wanted... Unfortunately, however, I live across the street from the 6... | |
| Dedicated stereo to HT--advice? Pardon the expectant mother routine, but apologies for the double post. It sent it again when I hit refresh to see if there was anything new... |
