| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Just returned from HE2006 in LA. After hearing a 15-minute demonstration of the new Watt Puppy 8's by Dave Wilson himself, my wife said, "Twenty-eight thousand dollars, is that all they are?" This was, by far, the best I've ever heard Wilson speak... | |
| I saw Pearl Jam last night... I thought everyone in prison was innocent!That is true. And don't forget, everyone at the wheel is a good driver, all ex's are psychotic, and every audiophile has excellent hearing. | |
| I saw Pearl Jam last night... For anyone interested, here is the list of this week's beneficiaries of Pearl Jam's activism on this tour. The Innocence Project was on stage that particular night because they are located in the host city. Other nights might highlight the effor... | |
| Conservative Politics & Rock Music 41? Child-free? 15lbs shy of the 200 threshold? What, are we twins? Now I suppose you're gonna tell me you like tailgating to Stryper, and long walks on the beach with your Mexican Hairless? | |
| Conservative Politics & Rock Music For the record, I'm somewhat fiscally conservative, social moderate, and almost as sexually active as I was 30 years agoYes, but are you a middle-aged, white male, with a pot belly and a Cracker Barrel club card? Because if not, you ain't no true ... | |
| Mixed Results from My Hifi Some recordings are better than others, that's for certain. But the recording does not by itself go from sounding balanced in the mastering studio to unlistenable in your home without the compromising effect of your audio system, which most import... | |
| Mixed Results from My Hifi If his happy with other recordings, then why change anything for the few bad ones?From his initial post: "But mass produced pop and rock are almost unlistenable." I took this to indicate that the three recordings he listed were but a few examples ... | |
| Mixed Results from My Hifi Why are so many of you answering without actually clicking on his System page? Look at the system. Look at the room. The issue he's having is most certainly not with the production quality of the CD's. It is stemming from the system, and its inter... | |
| Avantgarde in NYC? By the way, I really appreciate you taking time and allowing me a listen when I visited your dealership in March, Bob. You were a most generous host.Regards,Howard | |
| Conservative Politics & Rock Music The most conservative pop/rock song I can think of is Graham Parker's "You Can't Be Too Strong".Or how about XTC's "Respectable Street"?A Google search produced a number of these lists. Most of these songs, when evaluated as a whole, do not reflec... | |
| PAD Venustas We use the Aqueous Anniversary speaker cables, and love them. I have not heard the Venustas speaker cables. The Aqueous had a similar effect as the IC. Transparent, flawless tone, with excellent extension top to bottom. I think I've read here, how... | |
| PAD Venustas I've tried the Venustas in several systems, and what I connect with in particular is a seductive, warm midrange. The first time I heard our system with them, I fell asleep, the music was that soothing. And after having tried some 20+ IC's, I was t... | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 I've heard the Alexandrias in a dealer's room with $60k worth of electronics. I was with a friend. We both agreed my Definition Pro setup smoked them.I can relate. The $1000/hr. Las Vegas hooker couldn't make me fall in love with her either. I'm t... | |
| Do tube dampers improve sound? There is a noticeable difference when using them with large power tubes (2A3/300B/etc), especially when direct-wired in SET configurations. The larger the tube, the more difference they make, in my experience. Whether or not you like that differen... | |
| Will a Full Page Ad Guarantee a Review? Every single commodity is marketed by purchased influence, but not our beloved audio gear. Nahhh...that would never happen in our world. All reviewers choose to write about whichever products they want, right? |
