| TRANSPARENT CABLE VALUE 11-07-12: Geoffkait"Try Purist much better value""My friend sent me pics some time ago when he opened one of their expensive cables. He is in computer business and knows Belden cables very well. Guess, what he found?____________________________Mag... | |
| 12.12.12 concert Dylan had one of the best lines I ever heard - when asked what he thought about the piracy going on with digital music files, he said (and again, I paraphrase), Well, it all sounds like shit, so it ain't worth nothin' anyway. Beautiful. | |
| Starter Dac for Headphones... I use the Audioengine D1 USB DAC/headphone amp to listen to music on my computer. It sounds very good and it's not expensive. A nice item for the budding a'phile. | |
| 12.12.12 concert I tried, but Bruce wouldn't shut his hole and I had to turn it off before he started playing. I'm sorry, but, as much as I may respect some of the performers as artists, I couldn't care less about what these people have to say about anything. I re... | |
| Burson 160D vs "others" You made a very solid, sensible choice. Listen to it for a couple of years and build a sonic baseline in your brain. Then, if you decide to buy something else, you will have a reference to compare it with so you're not just shooting in the dark. E... | |
| Big Step Up from Totem Hawks? 10k Speakers? The Magico S1 is expected out pretty soon. Projected retail is $12.6K. I intend to audition it when it comes out. If you have the space, I would definitely suggest the Rockport Miras. They go for $8-9K used and they are fantastic speakers. Only th... | |
| Is it possible to have an accurate speaker It's virtually academic, unless you're setting them up in a laboratory. Even the most accurate/lowest distortion speaker, when placed into the average home environment, will exhibit significant changes in frequency response due to room interaction... | |
| Glenn Gould piano recording of Beethoven Yeah, but "Allegro" ain't what it used to be. | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? I would not overlook Coincident. | |
| Budget system for Rock and dance Music? Cerwin Vega 215's are excellent for dance music and stuff like that. I don't know what the current version is, but they sell for like $600+. I wouldn't buy them used, as the types that go for this type of speaker certainly must have blasted the cr... | |
| Calling all Panzerholz Aficionados Heavier is not always better when it comes to platforms. It totally depends on the components and the system. The old Neuance platform felt like it was made of hollow cardboard, but it worked wonders under my Linn LP-12. Yet, when I moved turntabl... | |
| When speakers almost sound like the instruments I was shocked when I first heard the difference an excellent preamp can make in a system. I was convinced that I needed a better amplifier, but the dealer proved to me that that attributes I was looking for - transparency, solidity, harmonics, cou... | |
| Best integrated amp up to $6000? There's a Viva Solista LT up right now for $3100. These don't come up for sale very often. | |
| Micromega MyDac and Windows XP Perhaps you need to disable your virus protection and firewall? | |
| Attention Esoteric CD/SACD Players Owners I think the Audience AU24 cables are excellent for the money and will not bottleneck your system. There are several pairs up for sale now at very decent prices. Hook them up and forget about them. |
