| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I had to think way back when I was a kid and got my first record player. What a piece of crap. I listened to Vivaldi, and some Mozart to start with. At the time, the record player, with built in speaker, was housed in a cabinet with a door on it. ... | |
| Some components too old now? I am really all for getting older equipment that sounds good, BUT no matter how you slice it, wherever there are electrolytic capacitors, their days are numbered. Mostly, at the 20+ year mark, they may not be living up to their specifications. May... | |
| Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles Slaw, Oh I totally agree with your thinking... Actually to the point that Every Agon user should be required to get a hearing evaluation before their first post. After all, many have hearing and don't realize it. Then there are the mentally ill. T... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement Comments/advice greatly appreciated. I like to own ANYTHING that is quality first. Audio has never been an exception.Jim Fosgate has the kind of reputation that holds up to my expectations. Eventually, I will buy one of these. | |
| What amps/preamps/integrateds to use with a particular speaker? There won't be much trouble about lots of choices, BUT first, you should give an idea of your budget. | |
| Which one is the best INTEGRATED!! Well, I see that it is not going to stop. This is best, no, no this is best, no, no.... Sure there are a ton of good choices, but with the lack more needed information, we are all just shooting in the dark, with silver bullets, of course. | |
| Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles jbuhl, Do you recall the leather looking ear cups sold back maybe in the 80’s? I don’t recall the name, and it was basically the same idea for listening to music. Thing is, I doubt that they did more than your hands cupped, i.e. slightly concentra... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement I too, have a sort of interest in this product just to audition it, or more. I forgot whether the unit would have an effect on treble. What have you found there? | |
| What's the longest you've done without listening? I can't bring myself to admit to the super long time, but it was because there were 5 kids in the house, and the 'living room' was where the audio equipment was. What was the point? | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Well, I am again, late to a thread that has intense meaning to me. I am actually not overstating this, since the idea of getting musicians in my room was a long process, and not one that was continuous, even when complete. I mean to say that recor... | |
| adcom equipment..... Guys, both of you make good points. Mostly, I know that what I am hearing is really due more to the combination with my speakers than the amp itself. I am referring to the single driver speakers that I am using from Decware Audio. So many things ... | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! Good thread, to be sure. My experience has changed for a few reasons. I bet reason number one is a change in my hearing. The highs were so important to me at one time. If I could hear them, they still would be. So, that aspect changed my considera... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Whether better or not, it is always of interest to me to get a chance to listen to new technology. I should pull back a bit though, as 'everything' uses the word technology in order to market it. Still, whether old or new, I get some ideas to pond... | |
| Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles Thank God the regulation wall is finally coming down! It wasn't that I wouldn't spend dear cash on a product that would actually do a decent job for me. It is more about the idea that hearing loss is one of those things that insurance companies ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Concerning tone controls, thank you,,, very good to know. |
