| Most significant WAF Audio Sacrifice you made.... Hmmm, let's see. Not one. Here's the list:** She strongly considered only looking at houses that had a good candidate for a dedicated listening room (which we got last year).** She agreed to go ahead with my plan to sell the 36" TV and buy a front... | |
| The end of LP collecting???? On the contrary. I'd see these high prices as a healthy indicator that LP collecting is still alive and well, at least for the record collector. With record collectors buying all those priced first pressing just because they are prized, desirable,... | |
| Front projector aspect ratio question Are these 2.35:1 aspect ration or 16:9 (1.78:1, or so)? If the former, you will still have black bars on the top and bottom, albeit thinner bars that on a 4:3 display. some other things to check. make sure your DVD player is set to 16:9 output, an... | |
| a great take on big$ cables price != equal to quality WRT cables. | |
| Liquid CD treatments? Not a liquid treatment, but you could try the Mapleshade iconoclast zapper gun. I find that increases low-level detail. Another trick I've found on Cds with harsh treble is to use a computer to copy the disc to a black Cd (I use memorex). They see... | |
| Source for low cost redbook CDs ebay, local used Cd stores, (patience, etc). more often than not ifI'm buying new, I buy from amazon with supersaver shipping and use the link from AudioAsylum, so Rod get a small kick-back. (Sorry Ernie!) | |
| What Is Best Speaker for $8000 - $10,000, used ? You title and your requirements are mutually exclusive in most (but not all) cases. Happy hunting. | |
| Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub? In a lot of cases the LFE channel is just glorified car audio, brought indoors. Why does it have to be loud "teevee" if you watch tasteful flicks that don't need LFE? I've seen far too many HT setups that actually used teevees instead of front pro... | |
| Tube or SS for Vocals/Strings Tubes sound more real. -from one musician to another. | |
| Maggie 1.6 vs Von Schweikert VR 4 The Vons had a lot more bass energy. A little darker sounding. Yeah, I could see the excitement thing. You can get some of that sparkle back with the ribbons on the Magnepan 3.6/R, though. I actually went into the demo wanting to like the VR4 geni... | |
| Is the Bi-wire really that bad? I couldn't hear a difference. Now active vertical bi-amping, that's a whole different story. Subtle difference. But still cool. You're probably better off redoing the crossover (and may bi-wiring on top of that). Unless you bought something like K... | |
| Would an Audiofile really download music? Sure. It's just another tool to discover new music. You do seek out new music, right? ;-) (wink, wink) | |
| Best movies last two years My votes are Ju-On and Fraility. LOTR also deserves a mention. | |
| Do you care about the LOOK??? Yes, but I don't get bent out of shape over it. | |
