| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon Requiring them to list their affiliation is enough. | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! Or you can use years of experience to identify the more expensive components that are actually worthwhile and create a system that sounds sublime. Truth is that there are no "victims" in either scenario. | |
| FM Acoustics vs CH Precision My experience with CH Precision has been very good. Like Vitus Audio, every system driven by CH that I have heard was excellent. Unlike much SS, CH seemed to have very good low level resolution. I havent heard FM enough to comment, but mijostyn wo... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! For the money, these are the best speaker cables I have heard. Others have told me that the cable just below the Solo Crystal is perhaps an even better value. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Much wisdom in the last paragraph of Ralph's (atmasphere) last post. If a reviewer says something about a particular speaker being better suited to one form of music or another this is a really bad sign. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations I have heard of East and West Coast sound, but never 70s sound. Live and learn I guess. | |
| beryllium vs diamond I fear that too often the word synergy in audio is used to describe overcoming the sonic problems of one component by matching them with another component whose sonic problems are the polar opposite. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations My main speakers are Ascendo Model Ms. In other rooms I have older Kharmas (due to cheap price when purchased), Phase Techs in the garage and some modified Radio Shack 4 speakers with Lineum tweeters. In fact, the garage would be the ideal locatio... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Well emotion is a large part of the experience and what we all seek, but I dont understand the reference to 70s sound. The goal should be truth and an honest and accurate representation of the original material. This is the only benchmark that is ... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations I dont know of a single horn enthusiast who has been around the block more than once that considers Klipsch viable or competitive. Kind of the like the McDonalds of horns. The criticism of my JBL comments may be appropriate if they dont sound like... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! It is completely meaningless what you decide to call this hobby. Calling it something else will make no difference and shouldnt. Totally subjective. | |
| Suggestions for my system Your room is not too small for vintage Quads or several other ESLs! | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations As a person who really doesnt like horns but has heard many, please put Klispch on the bottom of your list. The Klipsch just arent worthy of mention in the company of many of the other suggestions given. At least not without major mods. I havent h... | |
| Amp change/upgrade for JBL4367 (94dB 2Way with Horn tweeter & 15" woofer) I think that you should try tubes! The best tubes amps I have ever heard at a resonable cost are the Atma-sphere OTLs. You will need a preamp of which many are available on Audiogon or as new. Atma-sphere also makes a less expensive preamp which I... | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? I agree with elizabeth that many on these forums contribute greatly to the problems in this hobby. I would think that many audio enthusiasts are of above average intelligence and therein, perhaps, lies the problem. Why would any person indulge in ... |
