| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Mrtennis: Audiophiles who love music (not all do) usually are seeking accuracy in a system, and accuracy isn't subjective. Some people simply are not qualified to judge because they do not have the points of reference or perhaps they lack the hear... | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Markphd: It's hard to argue with what you're saying; however, that's not exactly what Mrtennis said in his post. Actually, his post makes no sense at all. His first sentence is probably somewhat true, but please tell me what he's saying in the nex... | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Terrific. Go for it. | |
| Krell Resolution 2's VS Polk Audio LSi15 Gammajo: Actually, unless you went yet somewhere else to hear the VR-4Jrs., my room is 14.5x24 -- not 10x15. For your ears, room and electronics, you should stick with your Polks. | |
| Wadia 861 If you're not operating the Wadia in the 80-100 volume setting range, as the instructions clearly state is necessary to optimize performance, you are not hearing what the player is capable of reproducing. It's not even close, and it's unfair to ma... | |
| Audio Research LS3 owners.... The ARC is in a whole different -- higher -- league than the Adcom GFP 565, which I owned many years ago. Compared to the ARC -- any ARC preamp, really -- the Adcom lacks dynamics and sounds basically broken. | |
| Which preamp........for sonic bliss???? Dave,You're welcome. I neglected to mention that while the Levinson 380 left a lot to be desired, the 380S is a whole different animal. But it was also a lot more expensive. In any case, there are lots of good choices. The Audio Research LS25MKII ... | |
| Which preamp........for sonic bliss???? Having owned the Pass X-1 and Levinson 380, I can tell you that the Levinson isn't even close to the Pass sonically. It takes a few minutes to get used to the operating system of the Pass, but it is a very good preamp. | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? For openers, you should consider having your Wadia 861 upgraded to the Reference or Statement level provided by Steve Huntley of Great Northern Sound. I was skeptical but finally sent my 861 to Steve for the Reference mod. It was worth every penny... | |
| Difference Audio Research VS110 and VT100? The VT100 offers balanced inputs, for one thing. It's also just a better-sounding amp across the board. Still, the VS110 -- and the VS55, for that matter -- are mighty good amplifiers. I've owned the VS110 and still own a VT100MKIII. I've heard th... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? There are a few lessons to be learned here. The first is that not everyone is qualified to assess the accuracy of a speaker. It would be like me trying to judge poodles in a dog show. There would be a lot of unhappy dog owners -- and rightfully so... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Opalchip: This post sought opinions from people who have owned or auditioned the VR-4JR. Have you? Based on your comments I tend to doubt it. Also, a fair number of everything shows up on Audiogon. That's just the nature of this hobby and it means... | |
| Seeking Recomendations for -1000.00 amp Audio Research D130. Great-sounding underrated amp available for less than $900 on Audiogon. | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Neutral is indeed an accurate description of the VR-4Jr. They're also extremely dynamic and disappear if they're set up correctly and are driven by the right equipment. There are speakers that have more air and more top extension, perhaps a more m... | |
| HDCD question..... S7horton: You are exactly wrong. The ARC transport would not pass an HDCD signal. It's possible that some other transports will not, either. Call Leonard at ARC if you don't believe me. |
