| High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older Yes, your hearing range and depth does change for the worst, but each person is different. One of the pluses from listening over the years is that you train your ears to hear better, so it is some compensation for the fall off in range.Audiologist... | |
| The Emotiva XDA-1 Spec's look good, killer price. | |
| Best Way to Organize Audiophiles' Lives and PCs First, best you have a 'man cave', with the wife not allowed to enter your 'mess'. Racks etc are all about not having money to spend on gear and media, a bad idea. Once you get use to it, you will know exactly where everything is, no need for 'ord... | |
| Sony scd-xa777es vs scd-777es? Should not be as the chip set in each is the same. Whether the spinner on the top loader is better is an open question, some claim it has lower jitter. I have the front loader and I did listen to the top loader a long time ago, finding no differen... | |
| Buying new, but old speakers The often cited 'Blue Book' is a farce. It reflects no real connection with the real world. The reported sales to BB are highly unreliable and reflect a shallow pool of activity. E-bay is a more reliable source, especially the last 30 days activity. | |
| ProAc or Harbeths? Everyone's ear are different, so get a dealer to loan you a pair and audition them in your listening room. I am partial to the ProAc's since I have a 'British' ear. | |
| Need opinion on other tube amps then Jolida to buy Go Cayin. Great sound, great value, great service if needed. | |
| Turntable/cartridge/tonearm suggestions Go VPI. Their sound is as good as any of the others plus there is in-depth support from the dealer and manufacturer. Did I mention higher resale value and support here on the gon? | |
| 2 channel home theatre A .1 is a must. Many great subs out there and it will add a great pick up in the sound of your speakers. | |
| Should Equalizers make a comeback? Yes, just one more thing that should be in every goners tool kit. Lets you explore better sound. | |
| Good Sound under $500 I would agree with jrinkerptdnet, ProAc tablettes are a good choice. Also consider a used re-foamed pair of Boston Acoustics A40's. I have the 1SC's, tablettes and the A40's. All sound good with solid state, but I run the 1SC's with tubes for a 'w... | |
| Matching speaker to amplifier? Years ago I asked ProAC which amps they used to test there speakers. Would not tell me, as they felt it was a matter for MI15, or a break in to the factory. | |
| Goat Hair Brush Can't wait until Michale Femmer jumps on this as the must have brush, and of course he will make a video of exactly how to properly do the brushing. All for $39.95 plus shipping and handling. | |
| A shelf for my center channel speaker? Keep it below, not above. I have a sound anchor stand you might be interested in. | |
| Seeking Amp recommendation... Please hear some of the Cayin stuff. Great sound, value and service. I have the 100, 88 and VAS I's. All should be considered. They beat Mac's. hands down. |
