| REVIEW: Mccormack UDP-1 Deluxe Is it possible the Deluxe upgrade makes it much more analytical and less musical? that would be weird yet possible and geared toward higher resolution systems. | |
| REVIEW: Mccormack UDP-1 Deluxe Personally, I prefer my sound natural and real. That’s my goal and that’s why I think the UDP1 is not my cup of tea. I felt the lack of a more flowing, more liquid sound, and a more organic presentation of the event.I think it lacks a bit of a mor... | |
| Movies that featured High End equipment There is a great Quad system in the adult movie "Debbie does Las Vegas"...it is right during a very extreme scene but my eyes left the couch to stare at the audio gear. | |
| HiFi lacking social recognition? Today, home theater is the draw. Customers go in to buy the TV, and many are made aware that there is a whole hierarchy of audio components. They understand that they are not buying the high end, but they now know it exists, and that there is some... | |
| HiFi lacking social recognition? Chadnliz, you are probably right about busy lifestyle vs time to procratsinate and even my buddys in audio retail admit that it is an 80-20 rule again: 80% of their revenues come from 20% of their clientele who can afford very expensive systems ei... | |
| HiFi lacking social recognition? It may be time to come out of the audio closet...let's rent a van - white - and pack it with $250,000 worth of gear and drive all the way up and down Bel-Air to show what hifi is all about. One may not be able to wear a pair of speakers like a pai... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? The only difference between that guy and me is that he made it happen. As to whether this makes sense or not - as much as this thread - is another debate. At the risk of hearing anymore pseudo-romantic whining by emotionally challenged mammals, we... | |

| Do dealers believe in their products? Forgetting dealer #5 who has a bilateral exclusive agreement with an importer/distributor and is obliged to carry a line or a part of a line that he does not believe in...but has to sell at the risk of losing its exclusivity on the rest he values ... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Andrew:may be this should have been the thread: audio or titty bar - where the sound is crappy!!!!! humm, who wants to get in business with me: the audiophile Titty bar, dances on 2-ch hi-end system, called "Tit and Tweeter"?

| Cayin A-88T or Conrad Johnson CAV50? What speakers? I would say Cayin AT88 but with good, may be NOS 6550s not Chinese KT88s. One of my gear that I regret having sold, truly good sounding with the flexibility of triode-UL operations. No fake warmish tubish sound. | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Andrewdoan, did I, really?!!!! gotta be kidding, just with the food, water and heat she sucked in the last 20 yrs I would have a $100,000 system in front of me...letting her go would cost more though...damned if you do, damned if you don't... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Nrchy:If I remember well, we got off the wrong foot last time we stumble don each other in a thread...and since I know what you went through, I must agree with your post.This being said, you have to take 90% of these posts with a grain of salt and... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? While I am still married after 23 years, there was a long time, maybe 15 years, where I was only married due to the 'cheaper to keep 'er' mentality. Of course I wanted to live with my children too, so I bit the bullet. Now, 3 years since she had h... | |
| Inexpensive Multichannel 3x Amp for HT add-on Audio Refinement Multi-3 would be a good choice in your budget. You may even get a bundled deal with the AR Pre-DSP. Alternative would be a 5ch amp from Adcom, GFA 7500. |
