| Got $1000...how should I spend it? Agree for the most part with Bongofury - consider a decent headphone setup. Perhaps start with a nice CD player with a headphone output and then add a modest separate headphone amp as funds permit. As an added bonus, you won't be able to hear her ... | |
| Sound Anchor Blue Dots or BluTack?? I second (or third) the opinion that every stand-coupling method will yield a different sound in a resolving system. With my Harbeths on Skylans, Herbies Dots were by far the best. With my Operas on Targets, Blue Tak sounds the best to me. Keep in... | |
| good stand speakers with good low end "I always thought I would get better bang for the buck with stand mound speakers vs lower end floor standing units." Not really - remember that you have to figure in the cost of the stands, and good stands cost at least $200 minimum. Judge by the ... | |
| Iam a NEWBIE in analog, will someone help me You didn't even listen to the BAT and you're thinking about changing tubes? A true audiophile. As long as you're asking for advice, if possible, (and I know it's not always possible)buy your cartridge from a local VPI dealer and have him set up th... | |
| good stand speakers with good low end Do you actually intend to put the speakers in a bookshelf? If not, floorstanders take up no more room than standmounts. About 1 square foot of floor space. If you do want monitors in your price range, check out Fritzspeakers. High-quality stuff at... | |
| Bring on the criticism... If you enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with it at all. I'm all for anyone having anything they want as long as I don't have to pay for it. | |
| Bring on the criticism... Now you can tell Van Halen they don't have to bring their PA when they come by. | |
| Tweeters I really don't think you can predict the sound of a speaker based on the type of tweeter used. There are just too many variables in the design. The type of enclosure, the crossover, the placement of the tweeter in the cabinet and other variables m... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Well, I don't know much about Ipods, but if you're saying that more expensive players sound better than cheaper players of the same generation, I agree with you. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Tgyeti - point of this thread is that the Sony is the best player under $10K. If that's true, the Sony should be as good as the EMM. The Sony is a nice machine that does a lot of things well, but it doesn't cost 10K or sound like it does. Or 8K or... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 "The EMM has a you-are-there feeling that the Sony does not."Well, that's sort of what it's all about, isn't it? Once you've experienced that in your hifi, it's very hard to go back. Of course, if you've never experienced a player that brings the ... | |
| best totem speaker Soundgasm, if you like to listen to loud rock, I think more watts is better, regardless of the speaker - unless you're talking about very efficient speakers like Klipsch and such. I listen to mainly acoustic music at very moderate levels, as apart... | |
| best totem speaker With a large solid-state amp, the Forests will work really well, but you should look into the Mani 2 as well. It is a really nice full-range speaker. If you like your music loud (I don't), the Mani 2's are the way to go. Soundgasm, at the NY Audio... | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Speaking of hiss, in the recording studios, many musicians and engineers dislike Dolby noise reduction because they feel it makes the music sound dull for, among other reasons, removal of the hiss. Since the tape hiss is a constant, as opposed to ... | |
| Parastat/Solution I seem to recall with the Parastat, that it had an insert that you wet with water in order to add some humidity without actual dampness. I don't recall putting anything on the brush itself. |
