| Do Dealers think it is sinful.......... Notreallybitter98@notme.com & Nostroke@ces,.org: you guys are really lame using those fake email names. besides, you give yourselves away by using your paragraph indents. finally, you have to be nearly as stupid as your posts not to realize yo... | |
| the most simplistic stereo you have had ten foot length of single-crystal 6-9's copper wire triple teflon-coated, stripped on both ends. one end attached via proprietary process to a .25 carat diamond, custom-ground in the vandenhull configuration and direct mounted (with a 5 gm. tungst... | |
| Help learn diff.between SS and Tube philefreak: thank you for at least acknowledging that mid-fi tube amps provide "inaccuarte" bass. i'm confident that you also realize that high-end ss amps are as "holographic," if not more so, as like-priced tube amps. plus, the ss amps are quiet... | |
| THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS i think 'ya got you're room dimensions screwed up, but maybe not. do you really have 19' ceilings in a 10'x20' room? if so, wow! i envy you. IAE, i highly recommend the avalon symbols. they've just been introduced in the u.s. (they will be shown a... | |
| Room Treatment this is not a simple question with simple answers. absorption alone is not as pleasing as a combination of absorption, deflection and diffusion. the best sound room i've ever experienced is at goodwin's highend in waltham, mass. you can view it on... | |
| Favorite Christmas Song & Album. joan baez: "noel" on vinyl. favorite song: "i wonder as i wander." | |
| Is CES worth the trip? let me put it simply: you've no idea what's goin' on in the world of audio-- high, mid and in between-- if you don't attend ces. interesting article in latest tas about t.h.e. show v. ces. worth a read. | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less there are any number of accuphase and jeff rowland design group amps (new or used) at the $10k pricepoint that will better any of your current selection of alternatives. they may not mate well with you krell pre, but then what does? well worth hea... | |
| Wrong direction? garfish: according to a post on aa, the "sound & vision equipment guide 2001" was on the newstands as of 10/18/00. haven't looked for it myself. cheers! | |
| Acceptable hiss ? with a high quality pre and amp, you should hear virtually no hiss, even with your ear pressed close to the tweeter with volumn set at your "normal" listening point. this is particularly true of line stages but equally so for the very best phono s... | |
| Do Dealers think it is sinful.......... kthomas is right. we all need to use the same math. to clarify my prior post: (1) the lion's share of highend harware (speakers, amps, etc.) is sold on a "40 point" margin to dealers, i.e., if the "retail" on an amp is $10,000, the "dealer cost" i... | |
| Wrong direction? FWIW, the audio mag annual equipment list has been picked up, to an extent, by sound & vision a/k/a "deaf & blind." there are some interesting pissed-off posts re: the new list at aa, since deaf & blind has reportedly refused to incude... | |
| BNC Info Please south43: bnc is the pro standard for digital connections. for an interesting overview of all the combos of inteconnect one might use in the digital domain, check out the review of the dcs purcell d/d "converter" in the jan, 01 stereophile. it's ge... | |
| Krell, Classe or Bryston? the classe' s are the smoothest, most musical of the group, IMO. they'd be my choice if i couldn't afford accuphase or boulder. a big problem with the krell gear, among many, is how quickly it becomes obsolete through the intro. of ever more model... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword sedond: i can certainly understand a bmw site going down in flames. i, too, find many other bimmer owners insufferable. as for me: i bought my first, a '69 2002, the day our first son was born. cost $3800. i've owned 7 since then and have loved ea... |
