Yes, other sources are perfect. The problem lies in the TT.

I'm new to vinyl so please bare with me. I purchased a Marantz TT15SI several months ago brand new from an authorized dealer. I have only used it a handful of times honestly. I have notice that the center image is not center, but leaning heavily to the right side. This happens with every record...

There are some very affordable used power amps out there. I'd recommend that you not spend any more than that $1k pioneer credit on a receiver. Call me crazy or broke but I'm using a Yamaha rxv1900 to power my Spires and every time I listen to them, I know I can get so much more from them with...

You'll never achieve an accurate white balance or gamma without a professional image calibration. The disks are well worth the money but won't give you perfection. $600 seems quite high though.

I own a motif and am very happy with it

Should I go with Clearaudio Concept or Pro-Ject RP9.2?

The RM5.1 already has a Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge along with it, which is a $500 cartridge. That may be the way I go. What should I look for in a phono pre? What manufacturers should I consider?

So I'm thinking about taking the plunge into vinyl. In a recent topic on this forum, a few of you were advising another member to stay away from vinyl because of his low turntable budget and lack of owned records. I am in a similar situation but am willing to spend $1000-2000 for a player. I...

I've owned the original Dynamo and now have a Depth i. The Dynamo was a good performer for the the money but it doesn't compare with the Depth. The Depth i is much faster and keeps up with my Spires. I feel the Depth sounds quite a bit tighter too and less "noticeable". However, it's difficult...

Ok great! Thanks!

I apologize for my ignorance in advance but what is the MLOC discount? I am interested in Sanders amplification and a $500 always helps!

I'd like to know your guys' personal experiences with the Ayre V5xe and McIntosh MC452. I'm in the market for a 2ch amp for my Spires and wanted to hear some trusted opinions. Eventually soon, I will be able to audition them for myself.

It could be a 75ohm RG6 coax cable that's giving off RF. Unplug the coax from your cable/satellite/VCR and see if the hum goes away.

Thanks for the help fellas. That RSA Elgar looks attractive!

I know I've seen discussion on the forum about it but needed to be refreshed. From your experience, should I plug my Spire's A/C into a power center? What results have you had with this? I was considering the following for each speaker: http://www.panamax.com/Products/Other/MD2-RCA.aspx

I am also considering Pass Labs as amplification for Spires I will be receiving soon. My question is: For 2 channel usage, would an XA30.5 out-perform an X350? churchill, I see you have CLS. I'm sure your speakers have lower impedance dips than a hybrid ML. Would an XA series be necessary...

Considering the small screen on the SB Touch and the difficulty seeing it from a short distance, it would be nice if there was a monitor out on it to use with my TV. Oh well, I shouldn't have my TV on as a distraction anyway if I'm listening to music.

Great feedback guys! Thanks so much! I'm definitely considering an outboard DAC, probably Benchmark. Glad you brought up the Ipod/phone/pad app for the Squeezebox because I was wondering if it could be controlled remotely with a portable device. This helps a ton!

I've always purchased CDs and I'm not big on downloading digital audio unless I only want one or two songs from an album. However, I'm considering a Squeezebox Touch and I'm looking for suggestions. I currently use iTunes for my music managing on my MacBook. I usually choose "Apple Lossless" for...

Thanks fellas. This helps a lot!
