| Bookshelf speakers $500 -$700 These Wharfedale Dentons look real nice and they're on sale at Music Direct. Wharfdales are generally pretty warm and full. My favorite cheap speakers. | |
| record cleaning question I really don't know how one can compare one good fluid with another. Every record has a unique buildup of grunge on it and there's no way to really tell which cleaner is going to be able to best deal with it. Also, if you clean with one fluid and ... | |
| High End Novum PMR Premium MKII Sam Tellig thought it made a significant improvement. | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? A box upgrade should sound immediately better to your ears, at least in a demo situation with a broken-in unit. If not, keep what you have. I define "better" as allowing you to enjoy the music more and the system less, if that's possible. You shou... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Aerosmith was a 3rd rate rock band in the 70's. They became a 1st rate band after all the great bands died out. Compared to what came later, Aerosmith is great. 3 Dog Night was so big in the late 60s early 70s that Stevie Wonder opened for them at... | |
| Can we talk? I let a well-known modifier (not Modwright) do a tube amp for me and it was a total bust. First it came back with a hum and I had to ship it back. Then it just came back and sounded like shit. I wouldn't call it a huge mistake, but a mistake nonet... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables I have to say, my SP3s sounded pretty awful up front, but I sent them back to be broken in on the Frybaby and there was an amazing difference in the sound. Yeah, I know cable break in is a myth, but that was my experience. | |
| Morrow Audio Cables Morrow is good stuff. I had a pair of SP3 speaker cables and they sounded very good. I don't think you can go wrong, especially with their mid-line wires. | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? It could be anything. That's why I don't buy anything anymore without an audition. It's too difficult to put together a system based on reviews or reputation. I bought the X-05 at a great price from a local guy who upgraded to the X-03. It was in ... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? That would be a good question, except for the fact that only a tiny percentage of the people here have enough experience with the super high-priced stuff to put forth cogent arguments. It's much more fun to just say why you believe the stuff you c... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? I believe that Iron Man uses palladium in his chest-mounted arc reactor. If it's good enough for Tony Stark, it's good enough for cables. Then again, maybe Adamantium would be better? | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store The retailer owes every customer a level of courtesy and respect. The customer owes the same to the retailer. All parties have obligations to each other. Such simple things, yet so hard to come by. | |
| --- have you ever seen these speakers before??? Well, I gave him an opinion. I think I was accurate when I said this USED to be a high-end site. Now people want to discuss stuff they can buy at PC Richards. Go to a Corvette forum and ask for opinions on a Chevy Cruz and see what you get. | |
| --- have you ever seen these speakers before??? I remember when this was a high-end site. Sherwood? I mean, really. |
