| Not wasting my time on new Digital It occurs to me that the majority of sweeping conclusions expressed in these threads are drawn upon a very small sampling of in-home listening experiences. I understand your disappointment with two newer digital players, but how does that account ... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective I can see it now. The new XYZ amplifier review in Stereophile:"It was as if...no, not as if...VERY...no, not very. Remember, no adjectives...it was good...no, not good. Hmmm....well, just listen to it yourself, and see what you think. But remember... | |
| Watt Puppy 8 vs. Zu Definition The Definitions have better low end I bet than displayed at the show as the couch was in a room node. I asked because 4 10"ers on the back seem like overkill if anything and was told that. i hope to hear a pair soon at 213Cobra's house to hear a r... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective How's a feller s'posed to talk audio if'n he ain't got no more fluffy words in his toolkit? Soon enough, we'll end up with the Al Swearingen version of the audio review, where "Best" is the most useless f%*$& audio adjectival, you f%&$ c$*... | |
| who surprised and who disappointed Thanks a lot, Marty. I'll have to see when they're coming our way. | |
| who surprised and who disappointed I forgot to mention the band that surprised me the most, mainly because I'd never heard their music before seeing them perform: The Waterboys. They opened up for U2 on the "Unforgettable Fire" tour. They still had Karl Wallinger (who later started... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Aren't you the least bit concerned that your audio setup might be overly sensitive to small changes in power?No more than I am about that occasional itch down below, or the price of free trade coffee.Is there any correlation as to where power cord... | |
| Best tube amp for jazz, B300 I asked my friend to put on some classical, the image was vampid, "bloodless:. No dynamics. Seems when there is too many fq's going on, the tube gets all confused and just throws out a flat image, little dynamics.Wrong amp, in that case. Or perhap... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? In fact, this is the only hi-fi item that's ever been worth a damn.Don't forget this . "Hey good lookin', I'll be back to pick ya up later!" | |
| How can power cords make a difference? In fact, if you ever see this little guy appear during a listening session, you'll know you've been gouged by the power cord voodoo devil! | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? I just have to be fooled, as you say, to feel sublimely satisfied.I ought be the first person to offer miles of leeway (sp?) for that one. I like to say that if our perspectives are delusional, why shouldn't they at least be fulfilling? Unfortunat... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Thank GOD there are others out there in the audio world that believe that voodoo belongs in another demension other than power cords!!!!Now you see, THAT's the problem. If you're going to thank God, you have to side with the believers. You must ch... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? My best friend just finished a feature film, and he was present when the Seattle Symphony recorded the score. In the church where they recorded, the composer and sound engineers set up a playback system identical to the one in the studio (which I ... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? They can't. They don't. Never will. Nope. No way, no how. Don't even go there. Not another wasted moment of your valuable time should be spent on this silly, putrid, over-hashed, science vs. religion, bulemicized weekly, electro-acid refluxed topi... | |
| Anyone Hear a Sophia Electric 300b Hope it helps. We have K-horns as well, and I would strongly suggest the Heritage Crossover upgrade advertised here on Audiogon. We've performed many upgrades to our system, and for low-wattage amps, Dean's crossover was the most noticeable improv... |
