| what is the best sub amp. Probably an Eagle amp. or a krell. | |
| Separates vs. Integrated I'd definetely would rather have long interconnects and short speaker cables, preferably speaker cables hardwired to the speakers for best sound. Regarding the initial question asking what are the possible reasons against monster integrateds. Ther... | |
| Separates vs. Integrated It's the power handling stupid (in my best Bill Clinton voice!). I agree with Marakanetz above, I've never seen a 300W/ch integrated amp. Most integrated don't seems to be aimed at those who need lotsa power. For me, I initially switched from a re... | |
| big sound at a down to earth price? Acoustat ESL panels. They throw a well big soundstage. You can pickup various models for $500-1000 used. If you're willing to drive a state or two, your can probably find one for sale. Most owners won't ship them, hench the need for a pickup truck... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction HEAR US NOW AND BELIEVE US LATER!! -Hans & Franz. Truer words were never spoken. Equipment break-in is real. Apparenly your ears and mind haven't fully broken-in yet. ;-) Otherwise you would have never posted the question. | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? No. Stones are not my cup of tea.-NT | |
| Build me a killer Rock/Metal Rig for 1K Metal, eh? Sweeten the Thiel beast inside your cage, eh? Forget bright sounding solid state gear with Thiels, obviously. Can you tolerate neutral gear with the Thiels? If not this maybe ultimately the wrong speaker, IMO. But given your situation y... | |
| Trojan VIRUS Reported - Beware Although I can't verify your annouscement with either Network Associates or Symantec (I always assume postings/mailing like this are a hoax, until substantiated. The IS/IT professional in me has to be sure the threat is real), this sounds like ano... | |
| need opinions on getting out of HT into 2 channel I went from HT 5.1 to 2CH stereo. Piece by piece I dismantled the HT system, which I sold to my brother and replaced it with lusher 2CH components (around an Audio Alchemy solid state system at that time). If I were to do it again, I wouldn't star... | |
| ONE shot to show off your System's Stuff Nine Inch Nails - And all that could have been. Trent Reznor's latest live disc. dyanamics, openness, image depth, bass slam. I had my brother over and he listened to several of his own selections (alternative rock and older heavy metal). He didn'... | |
| Multi-channel ITU Standard Though I'm with Chesky and and Trent Reznor..."What the hell do you do with the center channel?"hehehe. The proposed 6.0 by Chesky looks interesting (additional "height" channels). I'd rather have those than a center channel. But it looks like 5.1... | |
| Multi-channel ITU Standard The best "official link" I've seen is this one from Sony and the general discription of the ITU 5.1 setup by Dr.AIX on AA. Though both are a far cry from any "detailed" setup that you are looking for. http://www.sonymusic.com/sacd/faqdirect.htmlht... | |
| Is Remote Control Important? It used to be, but not anymore. In fact with my first high end preamp (Audio Alchemy DLC) it precisely met my selection criteria at the time (1. simple purist design, 2. remote control for volume 3. upgradiblity 4. little to no other features). bu... | |
| What component have you changed out the most? Cables. probably gone thru 5 sets of cables, at least. as for the rest, I've changed digital front ends, preamp/amp, and speakers three times each so far. So those are about even. I've also gone thru three listening rooms/areas. Three listening ch... | |
| Great Spooky &/or Melancholic Soundtrack/Classical Interview with the Vampire. No one's chimed in with that one yet. It's a good listen all the way thru except for the Gun 'n Roses song at the last track. That song totally destroys the mood of the CD, IMHO. Normally I just program all the tracks t... |
