| Loudness War I feel back then quality played such a small part as to be inconsequential. billy Joel came out with his Innocent Man LP about the same time. A few others as I recall did well then too. most were well recorded. Add in a promotional budget of 3/4 m... | |
| Anyone listened to PSB Synchrony Ones? I've seriously thunk on it a bunch.Looking at the numbers in the testing sections of two articles on the Syncrony Ones which appear best sutied to my own needs, I've felt two issues that concern my particular circumstances.... the impedance curve ... | |
| Loudness War RE ThrillerGiven the time frame of it's release and the popularity of it's artist then, recording quality could have been way off the mark and pretty poor actually, and album sales would still have sky rocketed.I don't recall hearing one person th... | |
| no excitement from my Cambridge 840 cd What I said about run in of devices applies to many if not all of the items being produced today, including speakers. Certainly, speakers. or at least, it is my experince so far.24-7 playing runs you in at 168 hr. per wk., so in just over two week... | |
| Using XLR to RCA adapters on High Quality Cables? Personally, I'd say just sell the ones you now have and aren't using, and buy those which you can.I used adapters for a good long while at one end of my RCA MIT Magnum's as they entered into my balanced preamp at the time to very good effect. Ther... | |
| Loudness War Pro Software or some media players that allow you to analyze or normalize the sound seems the least expensive route.Of course you could proceed the old fashioned route and simply start out each new disc at a lower volume setting and raise it to su... | |
| Anyone listened to PSB Synchrony Ones? the thoughts above relate well to the Soundstage review from Aug 08 on the PSB SO which is also cmopared to the S series Paradigms. The notes here about the top end diffs are as well said in that review... the new Tweeter in the S series Paradigms... | |

| High-end CDP/DAC into Pre-pro I just did something similar to this when my oppo BDP 83 recently showed up just to see for myself. The results were surprising. I went out of the Oppo two digital ways using CDs only, BTW HDMI into my rec/proc Onkyo 805, and out via a Stereov... | |
| Integra DHC: New or used? Look closer at the feature sets.I beleive the .9 has at least one item IMO worth having... it has a dynamic SPL monitor of sorts which prevents or lessens to some degree perhaps, the anoyance occurring when the channel you are watching commercials... | |

| My girl friend is a genius I almost got me a pair of the top Merlins... but passed as I am a bass junkie... for whatever reasons. Recordings play a big part in the sounds actual range depth, and weight. Analog or digi. Naturally so does the amp and all the other audiophile ... | |
