| Recommend me a good psychologist I would contend that this can happen with really any pursuit unless it's anchored by a defined value system. In my case, I enjoy many types of music but am careful to ensure that it's positive and uplifting. In many ways it is an act of worship to... | |
| Cables with the best highs All I can say is to at least put the Audio Magic Sorceror/Illusion on your short list. | |
| Audio Research Convert... I sometime back talked to one of the main guys at Audio Research and he uses the 100.2 in his home system. I mean this guy could be using anything and he chooses a solid state amp from their line. I've heard it and it's real good.How good? Let's j... | |
| Mark Levinson 380S vs BAT 50SE??? I believe that Mark Levinson equipment is, in general, some of the most overated products in the high-end sector. The price/performance is exorbitant. If you at all care about air, lack of grain and especially the 'easy on the ears' harmonic right... | |
| Corner hanging speakers - okay? Weird? I'd say that the proposed set-up has virtually no chance of being a sonically truthful set-up. However, if you like what you hear and it's entertaining, then why not go for it.I have a reference system for critical listening, but from there it's p... | |
| Bit perfect copies I'm using the Phillips dual tray 2X recordable/rewritableunit. Does a great job of making bit perfect copies, but fails miserably as a CD playback unit. This is no big deal as I didn't buy it for that purpose. I think there are several units on th... | |
| How can you tell when tubes are shot? I think there's allot of good advice on the previous posts.I might add that turning the epuipment on/off really is not a problem with the newer design ARC epuipment. I got tired of replacing tubes so I just plan out listening time to turneverythin... | |
| Do I want more bass? If you really want deep/clean focused bass go listen to a well set-up pair of Dunlavy SC-Vs or VIs. It just might change your life! | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE The Dunlavy SC-5s is as close to the perfect speaker that I've heard. Had them now for several years and keep gettingsurprised with what there are capable of. Many of my friends are just amazed by the multi-channel effects coming from a two channe... | |
| Best Unknown Jazz Album Lee Ritenour- 'This is Love'. Great recording/great music.Not on any audiophile list that I've ever seen. | |
| ARC 100.2 vs. MF AC3R vs. McCrmak DNA125 I think it depends on what other equipment you put with it.I've been an Audio Research enthusiast for years and find incredible synergy when ARC componets are teamed together.Conversely, I've observed that in conjunction with other makes, ARC comp... | |
| Speaker Grill Cloth, On or Off I have the Dunlavy SC-5(s) with Audio Research electronics and without question the soundstage is more tightly focused and dynamic with the grills off. I am careful, however, to keep the grills on at all times other than when I'm doing some concen... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Audio Research CD-2 used,found on Audiogon. | |
| Sony SCD-1 vs SCD-777es? I will be watching the comments on this as well. My only exposure has been to the SCD-1, which was stunning. If the 777es does as well for $1,500.00, it will be the sonic bargain of all time. | |
| Your vote - BEST CD PLAYER in the world?? Well, I'm sure there are probably better, but the used Audio Research CD-2 that I picked under 2K sounds fabulous in my system. I think it's perched at that point of deminishing returns, that is you can spend a whole bunch more but get very little... |
