| Which Processor: Sunfire or Bryston? I'll add a third vote for the SP1, for many of the same reasons Herr Campbell has cited. BTW, don't mean to be confrontational, but I have heard the Classe units and, while I thought them good, I did not hear the pedigree the first poster raves ab... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Lots of good ideas here. The one I most agree with is the poster who wrote "don't read the mags". He's right. Every time I pick up one of these things there's some ear and eye candy, not unlike seeing some mags with scantily clad and attractive la... | |
| So how many people are using subwoofers I've been using a REL Storm III with Martin Logans and it is simply terrific. I agree with whoever said REL is an excellent choice for a musical sub. | |
| Projection T.V. CALIBRATIONS? Had my Pioneer 510 undergo the ISF calibration recently. I was amazed at how far off so many things were: color temp, convergence, chroma, luminance, you name it. While it isn't cheap, it's money well spent for a couple of reasons - 1. Since most ... | |
| Whatever Happened to Snell? I think the designer who moved over to Revel is Kevin Voecks. | |
| Home theatre and Musical Experience Sean,I don't have the GFP 750 in my system but have listened to it extensively in local audio emporia. It is good beyond all proportion to its cost. The Stereophile crew has it in the Class A category. Yes, I know the criticisms of that bunch, but... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Well, gee coach....T'was only a wild guess.So who the hell is it? | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Kevziek-I've also had some training in music -certainly not to your level- so am naturally predisposed toward classical/opera. That said, I am sure you will be labeled an elitist, snob, dilettante, pick your name. I do listen to a fair amount (pro... | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? Prs123,Well said! Notice I did not knock Dylan, rather simply said his music never spoke to me. Pace. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Albert and Redkiwi,Both of you have made very sensible, intelligent posts. Mr 702, however, worships at the altar of numbers and you're not going to budge him. Albert- your story about the racing boat reminds me of my checkered past when I was inv... | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? Ditto to what SD and Winoguy wrote. Nothing against him, he just never "spoke" to me through his music. He ain't done too badly though for a kid from Minnesota. | |
| HALCRO Amplifiers Jazzcatlewis-Kudos to you for your oh-so-delicately-stated opinion. Wouldn't it have been sufficient to say that "it's too rich for my blood?" I wish I had the wherewithal even to consider something like the Halcro. That I don't doesn't give me th... | |
| DVD Audio vs SACD? Ditto above. Audiophiles are a strange breed, and we object on philosophical and audible grounds to watermarking. (The greed of studios never ceases to amaze.) BTW, SACD can be stunning when done properly. When the library of true software grows b... | |
| Anyone ever read the listener magazine Not a bad sheet, all in all. But their fetish for all things tubed gets to me. Probably will not renew the subscription. If you want a look into a real strange mind, it's worth getting just to read Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg's column. I'm still tryi... | |
| 9B-ST for Home Theater Amp Like SD, I am an unapologetic fan of Bryston. In fact, I run the 4BST and 5BST in my HT arrangement. Have listened to the 9B any number of times and think, quite simply, you can't miss if that's the one you settle for. Superb piece. It's what I wo... |
