| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? Auaarons, so what did you end up with? I'm in the process of doing the same thing. When you don't spend a lot of money, you don't worry so much.I somehow connect the statement "the devil is in the details" with hi-end audio. Defined as:"The devil ... | |
| whats your idea of loud music. I'm listening to Suzanne Vega right now at 60dB. Sounds fine since there is low background noise and clean power late at night.Over 75dB is loud to me.To the people who listen at 95dB for years with no hearing loss: some people smoke 2 packs a day... | |
| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? Cwlondon, I had the exact same thought today. For some reason speakers keep getting toned brighter and brighter. For example Epos got bashed for years with the "airless" presentation of their M15. Now the M15.2 has a rising response curve - ugghhh... | |
| Monitors for a bedroom system....... You won't get deep soundstaging with speakers 6" from a wall. Try Louis at Omega speakers for some Fostex single driver - NO whizzer is my strong suggestion. You need tubes with Fostex. These speakers can't play loud and as a result sound very nic... | |
| Mood lighting Congratulations Distortion, I think it will be worth it. Having all S.S. need some type of glow :-).I'm torn between the Salt lamp vs. Lava lamp vs. the wall conce. The wall sconce have a really nice effect - sort of like the buildings at night in... | |
| Extremely budget minded system for under $500.00 ? 2nd the Denon UD-M31 only $300 new. I'd spend the $200 on better speakers.Radio Shack DOES sell great speaker cable in the form of magnet wire for ~$3.50. Twist a few strands together with a hand drill and strip the enamel off the ends. Hi purity,... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? "if evolution is true, why are there still monkeys?" from Pitdog's link. | |
| Where to audition Totem, Epos NYC Daimbert salesmen bad now? They used to be much worse. You can try Audio Connection in Verona NJ for Epos - John Rutan is pretty cool. Also they sell Proac which IMHO is far more accurate tonally that Totem and still lush and musical. Spendors als... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? ""Audiophile" recording techniques work best on acoustic music, so it's unlikely that many "audiophile" recordings of hard rock, hip hop, R&B, or rap will be produced. These are the kinds of music that appeal to the largest segment of the publ... | |
| Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars. Used Epos M12 (not newer M12.2 with rising response curve - sound bright to me). You can go FAR beyond NAD with the Epos and hear thesonic improvments.In Living Stereo sells Epos and fine tube gear. Also Totem speakers but I like Epos bette YMMV. ... | |
| The last 5 ????? Marco's back! Angelina Jolie? Well I'd just settle for no more foot fungus :).Boa2, sigh; I guess I'll never get there but the journey is fun.Jadem6, my system is currently a Denon UDM-31 micro system, Marantz CDR-500, and single driver Tang-Band ... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? "explanations can sometimes bog things down, so to speak, rather than help anyone"Yup, reality sure can be a bummer. | |
| The last 5 ????? So what is "100%"?How will you know when you get there?How do you know you're at 95% now?Is this 95% for this system or on an absolute scale?I ask not to be sarcastic but out of interest in how you got these numbers. Since audio is largely a subje... | |
| 3-Meter vs. 10-Foot Long Speaker Cables Ahhh, the problem with analyzing something which is a totally subjective experience with (ultimately) no way to define "good" or "bad".I don't have the calculations in from of me but electricity flows at the speed of light through wire and a 2" di... | |
| 3-Meter vs. 10-Foot Long Speaker Cables So, would it cause any sonic problem if I were to use a 10-foot speaker cable pair for the mid/high drivers and a 3-meter pair for the bass? Three meter is 9 feet 10 inches, so it is 2 inches shorter than 10 feetNo. Enjoy your new cables. |
