| Analysis Plus or Harmonic Teck I too have AudioTruth Dragon and Diamond, and didn't hear the Oval 9 as being in the same universe as them (it's not even as good as ANY other cable I've tried!). I like MIT better than all the others I've tried (AP, Straightwire, Transparent Refe... | |
| Spkr Cble- Analysis Oval 9- reviews? What do you mean, you hate to admit it? I have nothing personal against you, so why should you against me? | |
| Analysis Plus or Harmonic Teck Where do you get EVS nude attenuators?...................I've not heard a system context like yours before. I've tried Analysis Plus Oval 9, don't like it. Tried Harmonic Technology Pro Silway 2 interconnect, didn't like it. I like MIT cables, the... | |
| Plasma TV reviews IMHO, "bragging rights" are for those with Runco/Faroujda front projectors/line quadruplers, and everybody else is just "watching tv"...Not that I have these, but let's be real about what REAL "home theater" is. | |
| Why has Netflix gotten greedy? George, in starting this thread, I was complaining, and not in a humorous mood. I certainly am not in good humour all the time, and you "whining" about me not being funny enough doesn't encourage me, just heckles me. I'm fascinated that you've got... | |
| Does speaker cable length really matter? Of course length matters, but you won't hear a significant differnce with the lengths in question. The speed at which electricity propogates thru the conductors has less to do with what's going on....than does the cumulative insertion losses due t... | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Jimiverson, I agree about Wilson speakers, but haven't heard the Slams. The Watt Puppys sounded like that to me, though, and with a dark sounding tube amp, too! | |
| Acoustic Treatment ASC 16 inch (or larger) full rounds in the corners behind the speakers, and their 15" x 8" x 5 foot rectangular traps at ALL first reflection points. That's about .05% of the room's volume, if that...not exactly 60%. | |
| Threshold -- Dead or Alive? Mrchips, do you have a mint T-2 preamp w/silver faceplate? If so, what would you sell it for, if you were going to sell it? | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Thank you for the compliment, but it's not totally deserved. I'm no expert on preamps, haven't tried very many...mostly tried lots o' cable. Seems like you'd need an affordable tube preamp. I have a friend who swears by Conrad Johnson's affordable... | |
| HiFi dealers & audiophile wife problems Good for you, but most of these guys are going to have to justify the larger "pleasure indulgence" expenditures in their life to their wife, and I see nothing wrong with that. I'm just glad I'm not married yet, and feel sorry for those that are (w... | |
| CD Copies...why do they sound worse? OK, I will. I'd still like to see each under an electron microscope. You could mail me one of those too, heh heh. | |
| Vote for best US made solid state amp Wise observations, Bmc. | |
| HiFi dealers & audiophile wife problems You need to control your language. Audiogon is hounding me about mine, and they better be hounding you about yours... | |
| Building Watt/puppy clone Paul, yes. I thought I already covered this above. My Maggies and a test CD say I can hear a 20 kHz signwave, referenced to a 1 kHz sinewave at about 79 dB on a radio shack SPL meter, in the listening seat. Of course, the 1 kHz tone sounds pretty ... |
