    Vibration control

    I've used vibrapods for a couple of years now. They clean up the sound underneath my source. Clear up the bass and extend the high (maybe just clean them up). Underneath my speakers they again improve the mid and upper range by cleaning them up. Under some speakers I've tried I found they dried...

    Great small speakers?

    Anyone try Axiom wires (coax, spkr cable, s-video) any better or worse than others?

    Looking for a pair of standmounted speakers

    Have you had a chance to audition Dynaudio 42's. Or possibly some Sonus Faber. I find these work very well in small rooms and both have a warm sound. The Sonus Faber Concerto are wonderful speakers that do jazz vocals well. The Dyn's would be a good less expensive alternative. I've found the...

    Pioneer DV-563A..almost here! Will it be worth the wait?

    Thanks for letting us know about the solution you found. I figured the same as I had tested the same dvd on my bedroom Sony 32" and didn't have banding problems either. But at the time I figured it was the smaller screen and the fact that it was a direct view as opposed to an RPTV. I'm still...

    Pioneer DV-563A..almost here! Will it be worth the wait?

    I had an older pioneer changer 503 that presented color banding through the component output to my interlaced Rear Projection Mitsubishi 60". I thought it might be the guns not aligning properly since the mitsu tends to drift anyway and after re-calibrating the banding improves(but doesn't...

    Who would be in your fantasy jazz band?

    I just saw Tyner and DeJohnette at Yoshi's a few months ago and it was totally awsome! How many of you have been able to catch some of your dream teams live? It's funny because when I first got into audio, I never had live performance to reference with and now I know what so many seek but only...

    If anyone cares, My new KSC 35 are slightly different than my Old KSC 35....

    I just got my phones from Koss.com I wondered about the absence of the L/R marking and a user manual but figured since they were NOS they probably would be missing something like a manual. Anyway, I am very pleased with the purchase. As someone earlier posted, "It's like I'm not even wearing...

    Did Anyone Else Have The $6.00 Shipping Charge Come Up On The Limited KSC-35 Offer?

    Used the code, got an email saying I would be charged $6 shipping. Didn't contact Koss (was about to), checked my bank statement and found the charge was only $29.00. Code worked for me...

    KSC-35 Limited supply

    Just ordered a pair and used the code. The confirmation email I received didn't reflect any free shipping. Was there an expiration on the "418" code?

    Dynaudio audience 42 Wall as stereo speakers

    I own 52's and have the 40's (older version of the 42's) only difference is the front baffle and crossover but very similar sound. I use to house my 40's in a small room as a second system. I never had problems with the rear port but YMMV. When I first heard the 40's it was in a small room of a...

    Speakers!

    Quote: Originally posted by AdamP88 That's very odd, because one of the things that struck me about the maggies (in my rather brief listen) was how great they sounded regardless of where I was sitting/standing. I actually spent several minutes moving to different spots in the room while...

    Senn HD280 vs. Sony v6 Which to buy!!!??

    I read your post, great info BTW. It's making me believe the 280pro is for me. I believe in burn-in totally and am not surprised by your findings.

    Speakers!

    Danes don't lie. Listen to some Dynaudio in your price range. One thing I have against Maggies (they are great speakers don't get me wrong) is that you must be in the sweet spot to really enjoy them. If you want to not have to always be in the sweet spot, you may want to consider bookshelves...
