| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Nope, we also need to worry about sober people who are texting, but that's another thread. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Ah golfer boy, you Island tokers need to cool it. I was rear ended by a kid last week and I'm sure he was high. How many innocent deaths will occur because peoples senses are dulled with the various substances they ingest? Can't you just enjoy ... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations I think the VH Audio would be more expensive, at any rate. Stager makes the cables in a .75 meter length which is what I picked up. If your system is in a vertical rack you rarely need a full meter. The .75 length was $125.The thing is, I'm sur... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations Yeah, at the budget point the OP mentions, the Stager silver solids are a no brainer. I recently picked up a pair, and they were superior to my Morrow MA3 with Eichmann silver bullet connectors, at $400. I was quite impressed, and the Stagers ar... | |
| Marantz vs. Emotiva So he trades it in and gets 150 off on their $2000 processor after getting such a bad experience? And no, the MC-700 would not be worth considering(not even released yet). The UMC-1 was their flagship processor so the XMC-1 would be the only wort... | |
| Starting from scratch, passion for "steals" The OP wants good bang for buck, and listens to many different styles and ages of music. That presents a problem, because speakers that excel with Yo yo Ma( highly detailed) will sound plain with old recordings, generally speaking. To get a spea... | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? Okay, the latest changes to my little system is: out go the Tannoy Revolution DC4, in come the Tannoy Saturn DC6 LCRi. It’s a 6" driver instead of the 4" DC4, but in a more budget cabinet. I’m surprised at how much bass I was missing! The DC4 have... | |
| An all Parasound system - Good idea? Ricred, I'm not telling you what you heard or what to think. I'm simply saying that there was some other reason for the substandard sound. Either way, good that you ended up with 3d imaging. | |
| An all Parasound system - Good idea? Ricred, for you to describe the JC stuff as 2 dimensional, masks details(What??) and a big disappointment, there was something else at play. It's not a case of different strokes for different folks. Perhaps your speakers are a bad match for Halo... | |
| An all Parasound system - Good idea? Generally speaking, a single brand solution can be somewhat iffy, or at least used to be. A buddy bought an all Proton system back in the day, and the speakers had drivers from Pioneer and were really nothing special. The cd player and tape deck... | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? That's funny, I wasn't even trying to guess! I had been looking at cables in the $600 range, and so for me the Stagers at $120 for a 30" length is pretty cheap. | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? For a cheaper silver IC, check out the Stager Silver Solids, at http://stagersound.com/silver/ A fraction of the price of your typical silver content cables from Kimber, etc., but with some pretty good quality, no nonsense cables. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Along with the above mentioned Village People, any worst of list would have to include the Bay City Rollers. | |
| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud I'll second the Ascend Sierra 2. They are a brand that flies under the radar as they don't have the brand appeal of a Focal or Monitor Audio. But that's just marketing strategy, and Ascend spends their money on the product instead. The Sierra 2... | |
| Using "pre-outs" of an integrated amp provide sound quality equal to a separate pre-amp? So what is driving your BAT VK-200 right now? I guess its an integrated amp, and you are using its pre-outs to drive the Bat?Yes, many pre outs consist of op-amps, but like paraneer said, it all depends on the brand and models. The pre outs o... |
