| JL Audio F110 Loud pop when pc unplugged ? That should not be unless you are unplugging them while their caps are still charged, maybe? Does this happen after they've been off for say a few hours? | |
| Spotify or Pandora Love Pandora's easy and logical interface and "good enough" sound. Spotify? Perhaps the worst interface I've ever encountered. Just my 2Cents worth. | |
| Totem Forest Signature -or- Spendor D7 "SPENDORs are great but work best with British electronics for like reasons."No, no, no Spendors work "best" with whatever you think sounds best. This statement is the equivalent of saying that German cars drive best with German tires or German fu... | |
| Where can make power cord be detachable for LS15 Not worth it at all. It's a PIA, will cost, and result in EXACTLY the same sound you have now. | |
| HELP Mac-mini or Macbook Pro Yep, MacMini. I've got the 2013 version, and it's whisper quiet and super great WONDERFUL product. | |
| FM broadcast vs. streaming I listen to FM classical a lot via my trusty NAD tuner, and I find that it has an "air" about it that digital radio does not, especially noticeable during prime transmission times, i.e. between 12AM and 6AM. FM just sounds more alive for whatever ... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Apparently modesty and audiophiles do not go hand in hand perhaps the tackiest thread I've seen on AG. | |
| ATC scm40 or Spendor A9 As a Spendor owner for 16 years, I would audition the SP100s or SP1/2Es before you spring for ATCs or the A9s. Neither will "kick" like the ATCs or A9s or have quite the bass extension, but after you hear just how sublime they are w/Class A, I dou... | |
| Proac problem: tweeters or crossover? Zd542,"Break in" for tweeters Really? I am sorry, but please don't provide such advice when clearly you know nothing about how electronics or transducers work.Twoleftears, this is exactly how normally properly functioning tweeters sound when opera... | |
| Clean those conduit boxes. "There is a definite sound improvement after I occasionally cut power to my system and then power it up again."In the time-honored words of Click and Clack, the Tappit Brothers: "BALOGNA," "PAA-LLEEASE," and "THAT'S B-O-O-O-O-GUS." We're not a tou... | |
| What are your favorite speaker finishes? I had a pair of Spendor SP 2/3s in cherry that were absolutely beautiful the BEST cherry finish I've ever seen. Sometimes when the evening sun hit them, I just stared at them, really. The modern cherry finishes seem to be too light and character-l... | |
| Final Thoughts: Muse 100 or Audio Refinement? Some of the Muse 100s had hum issues. I had one that sounded awesome, but the severe hum could never be solved, and it went to the big listening room in the sky. Btw, I also had an ARefinement, and the Muse kicked its butt. | |
| Smash and Grab at High end Store in San Francisco That sucks for them. I went there several years ago when I was in town very nice guys. | |
| Clark Terry Passed Away at 94 My favorite trumpet player of all time. Such a unique tone and style, and he "sang" through his horn better than anyone. His control was beyond that of any player's, as was the sheer joy he conveyed through his playing. A sad day indeed. | |
| Help Me Choose a Preamp You'll never get an Audible Illusions M3A for $700, and that's the one to look for if you go for AA. The difference between the 3 and 3A is night and day, as the volume controls on the 3A are what give this pre its AWESOME soundstage. |
