| contradictory communication So here's something else to ponder. While warm indicates loss of information in the higher frequencies, hot means bright. Why is that? | |
| This should be controversial....hearing tests... Having good hearing is important, but it's also important to be able to recognize what acoustic instruments sound like. For that, you need points of reference and perhaps some training. Being able to hear well isn't much good when evaluating an au... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Mrtennis: As you can see, other people are curious about your claim that you're a "reviewer." This has nothing to do with any of us being angry. It has to do with integrity -- and you're the one who brought it up. What were you hoping to achieve?R... | |
| ARC 100.2/ GOT A PROBLEM Um, guys, the 100.2 is a solid-state amp. When I owned one, I recall that it wasn't the quietest amp upon powering up, but it was normal for that amp. | |
| long interconnects and short speaker cables Agaffer: Oh really? Which thread specifically are you referring to? | |
| long interconnects and short speaker cables Gosh, no one ever thought of posing this question. Thanks for what promises to be a stimulating discussion. | |
| avoiding component purchase errors :part 2 Goatwuss: Actually, I think you'll find that the ratio isn't nearly as high as you think regarding those who are fans of Mrtennis and his sophomoric pseudo-intellectual posts. Many of us find them to be a waste of space on these forums. Perhaps yo... | |
| avoiding component purchase errors :part 2 Mrtennis: Who's angry? And who is taking this personally? I'm not. | |
| avoiding component purchase errors :part 2 Mrtennis: If you decide to write a book, please hire a good editor. Your posts are full of misspelled words, which could lead a person to believe that you've never been to school. You irritate many people here on Audiogon not because of your intel... | |
| silverline vs von schweikert Isn't the Sonata Silverline III something like $7,200 while the Von Schweikert VR-4Jr. is $4,500? That hardly seems like a fair contest. I wonder how the Sonata compares to the VR-4Sr. | |
| avoiding component purchase mistakes: part 1 Please, please, please don't post a Part 2! | |
| any comments on demagnitizing cds ? Good sound vs. bad sound may be a matter of opinion, Mrtennis, but accuracy certainly is not. Your April 10 post tells us what you like, and for most members of Audiogon your ideal system would be a nightmare.While Robert of Ridge Street Audio was... | |
| any comments on demagnitizing cds ? Mrtennis: You blasted Robert of Ridge Street Audio for trying to sell his product through the forum and here you are doing the same thing. If you want to sell something you should do what the rest of us do and by an ad.I really have no idea why pe... | |
| wht is the difference between good and bad sound ? Mrtennis has waaaay too much time on his hands. Plus I think he watched too many Woody Allen movies and saw too much dialog between Allen and Diane Keaton. Only those were pretty well done and actually made sense. Mrtennis just likes to toss out c... | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Mrtennis: Not to belabor this pointless discussion, but there are indeed very reliable methods to objectively determine accuracy. Talented speaker designers do this all of the time. They certainly would not rely on the judgment of a person who has... |
