| CHRISTMATH... Marakanetz, the reason his post has disappeared is that Christmas is under siege.. Audiobugged has probably mysteriously vanished as his post did. Once the ACLU hears of this thread it too will be gone. Audiogon will likely be shut down and hit wi... | |
| Can a monitor sound like a floorstander?? Thank you.. I'll look at what's been suggested. I think I need to get more of a life. I enjoy the journey-even the research. Mdhoover, your summits are nice/as was your review. I'm also looking at the Merlin VSM-MM due to the small footprint. Any ... | |
| A Night for Johnny Cash I missed this tribute, but what an amazing artist. He put out some truly great music--especially towards the end of his career where he was totally ignored by Nashville,(until after he passed away). I read that initially Nine Inch Nails was not ha... | |
| At Last Bach Really Hits the Spot Also try "The Goldberg Variations".. Glenn Gould seems to be the one I come back to most often. Welcome to the 'Family', Cwlondon :) | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? The new issue of TAS says something to the effect that had the new Ayre C5xe been released a few years ago SACD would be a lot more popular. To my ears there's often a huge improvement over redbook. I'll definately keep buying them and as I too sa... | |
| How's aboutnthese new Diamond B&W's??? How long does a B&W take to break in?.. I ask as I heard the 803D. The dealer thought it was broken in with @ 80 hours on it. The midrange sounded rough in places, yet bass and the D-tweeter sounded wonderful. To me it is much improved over th... | |
| BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS? I've heard Quads that at low volumes were the best sounding speaker I've heard..(actually at about any volume) also very nice with classical music. | |
| Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Agreed about this being a good album. My only small complaint is that I think the introductions may start to wear thin after many repeated listenings. Mofimadness, I think I was at that same Red Rocks show and it was excellent-I thought some of th... | |
| Ayre C5xe or APL 3910 ? Yo, Orjazzm... after all the differing opinions -- just checking in to see if you'd picked a player and if so, how you like it :) | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor Being one of the single straight guys here, I would guess that very few of these 'straight' men "dislike" women. I would also bet that if they're not happily married that audio equipment is not the root cause of that. I think a lot of this post is... | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor Being single, I don't know, but has it ever happened.. even once, where a guy is thinking about buying a nice amp, and his wife says; "You know honey, that amp is sweet, but why don't we just buy some new mono blocks. I think our Vandersteen 5A's ... | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor I enjoy seeing posts from ladies on Audiogon. Can you imagine meeting your 'soulmate' and she's into audio as much as you are? I guess I can dream.. | |
| I'm FINALLY finished: new 2-channel system Pookie - I dropped HT in 1999 and missed it for about 1 day. I can't tell you how many laser discs I bought and only watched them once. For those that enjoy it-great, but it was the easiest thing I've ever walked away from. Hope your experience is... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio 1.3SE Before I sold my 1.3SE I did a demo with a MF (don't remember the model), but it was rated at @150 WPC and also a Sim Audio W5. The Moon W5 sounded better to me. In my opinion it wasn't even close. I remember being impressed with how well it prese... | |
| NPR, Wine Tasteing, & Audiophiles I'm certainly no expert on wine, but still remember the Wente Cabernet> i think it was called Special Reserve at @ $20/bottle. One of the best I've ever had. They put on a great festival.. it opened fairly early each day and I learned it's impo... |
