| Hobby or Lifestyle? Mine is a hobby which I enjoy nearly everyday and is very much a part of my lifestyle. | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? I've been married to the same woman for 20 years. The other day I told her I was going to sell a piece of Audio gear ($3,000 preamp). She talked me out of it. I couldn't believe what she was saying and her aguments for keeping it. She has come a l... | |
| Thiel 1.5's with sound anchor stands? I used to own Thiel 1.5's with Target stands. They raised them about 8"-9" off the ground. I found them to improve the bass (had spikes also) and soundstage in my room. I would recommend them to someone myself. I loved these speakers and yes, they... | |
| Used 750-1000 CD Player Advise I would go with a good used transport and a used Theta Pro Basic IIIa. Sound is excellent for the price you can get them for. | |
| Biamp or not I am familiar with both of these amps and less familiar with your Aerial's but IMHO I would power the highs and mids of your fronts with the Proceed HPA2 and the bottom end with two channels from the KAV amp. To my ears, the Proceed is more musica... | |
| The difference between Balanced Mic Cables and Aud Can't offer an answer to your question except to say that I have compared mic cables to other balanced cables (Mit, Homegrown Audio, Coincident, and Transparent) and have much prefered the sound of each of these I have listed. | |
| Synergistic cable match for Krell + B&W Nautilus I have Krell FPB200c amp run to B&W N802 speakers. I have auditioned Audioquest, Mit, and have purchased Transparent audio Reference with the xl technology. I love the sound and hate the price of that stuff. For me, I could not be happy with a... | |
| Is a deal a deal? I agree with Kthomas, first with the fact that I get a sense of satisfaction when a deal goes according to someone's word alone and an agreement is made knowing there are no real reprocusions to backing out except that your word is no longer somet... | |
| Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500 I second Fineberg's Thiel cs 1.5s with the addition of a used subwoofer. | |
| Transparent Audio IC's and Speaker Cable I love my transparent cables. I have Transparent ref in speaker and in interconnect cables. However, I have found that below the Ultra level (maybe even at the Ultra level) the Coincident CST interconnects equal the performance and at a way cheape... | |
| Do cables really need "breaking in"? In my experience, yes. Some more than others. And a few cables, not at all. | |
| Audible differences between speaker cables? The better your equipment, the more differences you hear. | |
| ....expanding from car audio into home...need help I second all of the recommendations above. I would add to what one writer suggested. Center Channel speaker for a Home Theater setup is VERY important! Many who are novices think that they should save money on two items that seem less important wh... | |
| Your thoughts on Rotel Amps I once owned the Krell KAV300i integrated (However, I only used the 150 watt amp portion of the unit -- bypassing the preamp section via the throughput) and it needed service. My dealer loaned me a rotel amp. I was very impressed at the sound, the... | |
| Digital front end for Bryston/Thiels?? I used to own the CS1.5's and loved them. I like the music in your face and ended up with the Theta gear up front. However, I tried many different CD players and CD/DAC combos. Surprisingly, the most musical CD player with tube-type sound and grea... |
