| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Think of it like quicksand. The more you struggle, the more you sink.A person will gradually begin to sink in quicksand, and movement will make the victim sink faster. and it is not easy to get out once you fall in:The force needed for someone to ... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Bill, have you done any speaker comparisons lately? I'd be curious as to how the Summits would compare to Ohms, YG Acoustics, Rockport, or Raidho? I'd think they would sound closest to the Rockports. | |

| Most expensive Here it is: transmission audio ultimate system 2 millionWhile the cheapest speaker is one you can make for your Ipod. Just cut a slit into the empty cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper and stick it in | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? Or...Why don't females shop at Harbor Freight Tools? Women just aren't into gear. And is men's obsession with sound REALLY about the sound or using minutes changes in sound as an excuse to play with the gear?Maybe their lack of interest in gear gi... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. 12-02-13 Nonoise Just switching it on without adjusting the controls it was evident there was a difference for the worse when used.Well, there you go. That has also been my experience with every tone control I've used except the one in my Denon UD... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? If you sit in the sweet spot of a conventional speaker, would the Ohm's differ if you dropped them into the same spot? IOW, is it only when you start moving out of the sweet spot that omni speakers start to shine?(My apologies if this has been ask... | |
| Who makes So if we have a one ohm load, to do 45 watts the current will be the square root of 45, or 6.07 amps.Thanks Atmasphere. I think you are talking about speaker impedance and how it requires a certain amount of power to drive it? But what about music... | |
| Who makes The Zamp puts out 12 amperes at 45 watts. It still seems to me that current capacity, along with slew rate, would increase dynamic headroom before clipping. Because 12 amps x 120 volts = 1,440 watts, not 45 watts.Atmasphere makes a convincing argu... | |
| Who makes 12-02-13: BifwynneSuffice to say that a speaker with highly negative (i.e., capacitive) phase angle and low impedance characteristics in the power spectrum (say 30 to 400 Hz ??) can really give a tube amp, even a SS amp, a bad day. That in part ma... | |
| Who makes Bifwynne, thanks. I was just going by what I was reading atmasphere.I think Al hit on one company, Pass Labs, that made the solid state amp act like a current driven amp. And The Carver amp that Bob mentioned looks interesting too. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Hi Mapman, Thanks. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? 03-29-05: Detlof: "As time went on, I was forced to realise, that my mind got more and more entrapped by the gear and less by the message the music might have to convey. This was not merely bad, because through this, I became more aware of that mu... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? First: try to go objective as much as possible to cut down brands to pour over. If you hate solid state, great, you have just wiped out over half the products out there. Narrow it down further to SET and you've wiped out, say, another 80%.Second: ... | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? Klipsch - from older people I talk to. I don't know if Klipsch is considered an audiophile speaker now but they used to cater to the audiophile market back in the 80's when high end audio was more of a main stream market.But as Bombaywalla said ab... |
