| Street musicians Call me crazy, but I don't know what else to call someone who puts down a hat and hopes someone puts money in it. Does everyone do that? Not where I live. Look - I know that they're good people just trying to make some money. That's ok, but how do... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Haven't heard it, but in my past life as musician, I have heard many devices that can make a piece of reproduced music nicer to listen to - Aphex Aural Exciter for example, although that device is very old by now and I'm sure there are plenty of n... | |
| Street musicians I didn't read every post here, but as an ex-professional musician, I would never perform in the street. It reduces muscians to the level of beggars. To those who feel they want to, bless them all, but they should realize the ramifications of what ... | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system Just to add an example of how hard to figure this stuff out without hands-on help from an expert, I was once dissatisifed with my system for what I was positive would be cured by a more powerful or "better" amplifier until it was proven to me that... | |
| DAC with volume control + Integrated Amp = bad? First - I would be less concerned with the chip than the overall sound. There is a lot more to a DAC than the chip. That aside, I would not be concerned about running a dac with a volume control into an integrated. Using the DAC at a higher volume... | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system You need to hook up with someone who knows a lot about audio to help walk you through this. A person who knows your sonic goals and can help you reach them. I know this may sound vague or simplistic, but until you find this person, you will wander... | |
| Floorstanding speakers vs. Standmount speakers&sub One of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten from a dealer was not to think of speakers in terms of monitor or floorstanding. Just find a speaker you enjoy listening to and don't worry about the design. Sounds simple, but very few people thin... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? Well, at least you've learned there's very little of value here. Most people take a long time to figure that out. | |
| NEW CA DACMagic+ The advert states that "The world's best DAC just got even better!". So I guess it must be good. Better than the world's best. And for $649. Jeeez. | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? The difference between a Subaru Forester (a great car, BTW) and an BMW X-3 can best be appreciated by driving them both. What more can one do with 4 wheels and a motor?To me, the difference in the driving experience was well worth the extra money,... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows That's funny - I've heard audiophiles go on forever about how their system is so resolving they can hear a cough in the audience or someone drop something in the studio. The cough becomes more important than the music. Or the squeak of Art Blakey'... | |
| Tannoy Glenair 15? You go to a dealer to audition knowing you are not going to buy? Is that fair? | |
| First Rebecca Pidgeon Album? Spanish Harlem does sound very good. But she becomes tedious real fast. | |
| New Tweek - Has anyone ever tried this? No, Mr. Lebowski. That had not occurred to me. That had not occurred to us dude. | |
| So, what's your audio resolution for 2012? Paying for what I bought in 2011 |
