| Are you Guys Rich or What!? ok, i'll ante up to get into this game. here's my hand: i've got one of them $50-100k systems that i've built up to for the past 30+ years. and, i'm damn proud of it, moral implications and all. you want it, you'll have to shoot me and wrest it fr... | |
| Red Rose or Audio Prism? joe_b: why would you undergo laser surgery on your eyes instead of sticking to your trifocals? put another way: what is the sound of five hands clapping? FWIW, i really have no idea what mark (the man, not the name madrigal owns) is up to but coul... | |
| Tweak for Rogue Preamp Owners david99: your last post is a perfect exemplar of the fallacy of audiogan's proposed "voting" policy. you admit that you don't understand it, yet would give it a minus vote. why? cuz' i've rightfully flamed you before and, like an apocryrphal eleph... | |
| Tweak for Rogue Preamp Owners david99: didya happen to see the ;~)? that means my post wasn't intended to be serious. fact is: i wouldn't intentionally allow a speck of dust to enter any of my components, let alone sand. the whole idea of this "tweak" makes me think that rouge... | |
| Have you heard about new Krell products well, its about time! krell hasn't revamped their product line in, what, 6 weeks? | |
| New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade too clever for eber, must be cwlondon, eh. you brave enuf to come outta your closet? or maybe go in? | |
| Tweak for Rogue Preamp Owners i'm surprised rouge was so late coming up with this "tweak/upgrade." i've been pouring sand into all my electronics for years. it does seem to have a "gritty" effect on cd replay, tho. ;~) | |
| Best speaker for rock music zenaudio: the avalon symbols are $3k, IMHO a quite reasonable price given their performance. it's the big bad boys at avalon that get pricey. ;~) | |
| You got to show me something more! hey dragon, save a glass for me. BTW, i'd give you a + vote for your last post. i'm with you: screw em' if they can't take a joke! dekay, my only known fellow-iowan on this sorry site: i'd give you 2+. oops, guess i can't do that. coltrane: i'm wi... | |
| Carver original amazings and room size ? sonicbob: if you're building a room to house this system, i'd respectfully suggest you dump the construction in favor of upgrading your components (and, no, i don't mean moving up higher on bob carver's ladder). | |
| Best Preamp under $5k?? madnut (fascinating screen name--are you a long-time reader of ae newman?): i'd be interested in learning the basis of your contention that $5k is the "value/price" point of all audio gear other than speakers. is this a guess or an experiential ob... | |
| Bridging amps. this is not a question of "bridging" (which involves using two or more stereo amps as monoblocs) but one of bi- tri- or quad-amping. first, you'll need a preamp, or direct source with volume control, that has 2 pair of outputs or more, fairly unus... | |
| Echo Buster or ASC for room treatment? worldcup86: i think you may have unintentionally asked the wrong question. whose products work best is generally dependent upon what you are trying to achieve. you say you have both "echo" and "bass management" problems. these could be caused by a... | |
| King Cobra vs. FIM ????? why, all of a sudden, are we getting all these posts from retailers? i thought ads on threads were prohibited. is there an exception now for audiogon advertisers? if so, the policy stinks. If you agree join me in letting audiogon know wht you think. | |
| Best speaker cables yanomami: do you really mean 2 inch cords? my bet is you meant 2 feet. do try to audition several pairs. you'll get all kinds of opinions here, which, in the long run don't mean squat 'til you hear for youself. i prefer cable from cardas, tara and... |
