| How come a power cable changes the sound? I always prefer to ans. a question, with a question.As in: how come the world is round?? You don't have to be a rocket scientist;it only requires you have equiptment,and ears. Our MAITE,from down under says it all quite well; actually much more el... | |
| Musical threshold event I'm "wit chew" #61. IT IS the music first.I listen with a boom box all day.Mostly I enjoy the music.Sometimes I hear a selection and dream of how it would sound at home.This is how I get new ideas for purchases.Altho there is nothing like live mus... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Dear Waldhorner: you're not serious are you ? / of course not / you're Waldhorner. I'm trying to get my state disability compensation for my hearing loss;but I still have enough left to hear break in.I got a used power cord naturally all broken in... | |
| Best reviewers Thanks;bmpnyc;I do Stereo-"pile"and TAS;and I also get tired of reading month after month:"Best I have ever heard"applied to the Amp-of- the Month;each month. I also get very tired of hearing about so many products,here,or elseware,but my mag.s do... | |
| The Legendary (?) Infinity IRS V I remember reading a review, years back.They wern't even recommended,unless you did--- such and such.The Elotrovoice Patrician;also ancient but spectacular for the time could give you such a headache.Sort of like a 40 Ford,wonderful to look at,but... | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? How many audiophiles does it take to change a lightbulb? Better be just one;otherwise you got too many opinions on the squeaking sound; as the bulb is being removed.Happy Holidays,everybody. | |
| ABBEY ROAD TAPE HISS I'm sure you know;as George Martin tells it;the album was made "sort of with floor sweepings".---out takes off the cutting room floor.At the end of "American Beauty" a group does "Something"/or was it "Because"?.Great vocal/horible accompaniment. ... | |
| Rear Projection TV YES Ehider;Great advice!! ---Hobbes,I saw an uncalibrated Marantz,and it is the equal to Pioneer Elite,no question. I already owned my Pioneer at the time,and was sorry I hand't seen the Marantz beforehand. | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? Yo-Chipster;you sound like the lonesome Maytag Repairman.I have known a number of guys over the years with what I would call "different"types of involvement patterns,that are very"different" from mine.Recently,I went to a friend's house to listen.... | |
| The best Neutral Power cord ? In all the equiptment we buy;the power cord is the least likely place to find a mismatch.Generally,the more you spend;the more improvement you get. | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers No cliche works better. "The chain is only as strong as the weakest link". As in motorcycle chains,or your audio system. Wire is a link in more ways than the obvious one. | |
| PSB speakers? Anyone have any opinions? Psb makes lots of speakers/past and present.The Alpha series is good sound for the money / as is the B&W budget series / There are a ton (actual weight) of good speakers I would say on a budget and say driven by a good reciever,very good sound... | |
| Single bi-wire or double bi-wire ? My feeling has always been;get the best you can afford. As I believe 2 runs of a lesser wire don't equal that of the better wire run in single or bywire. Do as much research as to what works well with your particular amp-speaker comb.Don't forget ... | |
| Hidden Audiophile Classics The 4 Seasons;on Bis (#275) Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble.Their Motzart 525 ain't bad either. | |
| surround speakers, which ones? If one has a choice ; get the same brand as your fronts,by all means. At Audiogon this is posible,yes? |
