| Which attenuators do I want to use? Photon46, I understand where you're coming from. I've been debating on whether keeping the whole system or just getting rid of it. I love it, but I find myself falling asleep often during listening sessions, or just thinking about alot of other th... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? Was at an auction today and picked up a Playstation 1 model SCPH-101 for $12.50 to see just how one sounds. I hooked it up to the aux. on my Classe preamp, and was able to compare it with my Jolida JD100A which has level one mods. Without warming ... | |
| Pass Lab X250 or Parasound Halo A21 I have the Pass X250 and do not find it mechanical at all. Sounds fluid to me. If I were you, I'd find a better way to make your selection, since you're spending quite a bit of money, and my opinion, like everyone elses, doesn't amount to anything... | |
| What Color is your system There was a documentary on television that was about a few people who have the ability to see colors that change with different tones, frequencies, sounds. The problem is that some are beautiful, mellow, and others are very uncomfortable. They can... | |
| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? Air guitar, badly. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Needed something good on gas. Parked the truck,(see 05-01-09 above), bought a 5 speed Chevy Cobalt. Kind of like driving a go-kart. Fun. | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG Wasn't the recent Paladia performance entitled "Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scotts"? I caught part of it ,as well. Saw Heap, but only caught the tail end of Clapton. I hadn't listened to Beck in a long time, but this performance opened my eyes. He's ... | |
| Very airy sounding player under 1K used? Now I see that this was just your opinion, not a fact. I thought I may have to buy me a tube pre so I can get some good air. But as I grow older, I find that I enjoy the system the way it is, and that I don't enjoy sitting very long in front of th... | |
| Very airy sounding player under 1K used? Reb1208, have you facts to back up your statement about no solid state pre/cd combo will deliver the goods in the air department? Have you listened to every possible configuration? I find it hard to believe a statement such as yours can be substan... | |
| LCD Question: Covering Screen w/Clear plastic? Mount a piece of plastic so that it sits a few inches in front of the screen. No heat build-up, you can still clean the screen, and you're protected. | |
| How did you discover audiogon? Doing a web search for something or other. Stumbled upon it. | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Mrtennis, you make my day! | |
| Audio Do do with 40 years experience I've done worse. Put some new tubes in the CDP after removing the power to everything. Went to play it, and I heard nothing. Couldn't figure it out after checking connections, etc. Was ready to take them out, when I noticed I had not turned on the... | |
| Why do Audiophiles feel the need... I find most opinions are useless. Your associated equipment may not be the same, your listening environment may not be the same, you may not hear as well, or the same, as what I hear. What you hear may sound yellow, where I hear purple. Only you c... | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? "Not the Only One", Bonnie Raitt, from the "Luck of the Draw" lp does it for me. |
