| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? Sometimes it helps to spread speakers further apart to increase soundstage when toeing in. But it may diminish height. | |
| Ripping CDs You must have some kind of computer to be on Audiogon? I use JRiver. It’s great and inexpensive. Also don’t get artwork from Discogs. It’s crappy and too small. Get it from Album Art Exchange. I’ve uploaded over 3000 images there myself and there... | |
| Velodyne is... Why do you use the term seizing in reference to Velodyne Celtic? | |
| McIntosh is now inside a Jeep luxury car. I can't say much about modern McIntosh quality. I haven't heard any in quite awhile. I do own older gear from the 70's. But they do seem to go overboard with meters and lighting. Their turntables even have lighted platters and meters. | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? Some speakers need it like the Charios I still have but don't use. They sounded best with the speakers converging just in front of the listening position and far apart. The owner's manual even showed that configuration. My current JBLs sound great... | |

| Tube preamp with Adcom amp If you want a tubey sound, Conrad is a good way to go. Maybe others. Audio Research is more solid state sounding generally except maybe their earlier examples. elliottbnewcombjr I wouldn't use the Chase remote controller because it affects the s... | |
| Opinions about Daniel Hertz Mark Levinson is more of a marketer than a designer. Jonathan Curl was one of his engineers at the beginning of ML. The JC-2 preamp was Jonathan’s design. After JC left the name was changed to the ML-1. "According to John Curl, he and Mark Levins... | |
| Why aren't there more Blu Ray/DVD transports? They are all pretty much transports now. No analog outs. Only HDMI. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? csmgolf, you are correct. I was wrong about the quick setup button. There is a second mic input on the front of the DD-15 and 18. So you don’t have to move the subs to connect it. Replacing the plate amp with another is not really an option cons... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? You do need the remote and a video hookup. But there is a quick setup button on the back of the sub. Read the manual! |
