behringer reference?
Rodman99999I am not suggesting that Behringer is state of the art, or even approaches the build quality of truly "high end" gear.I am, however, considering the possibility that a disproportionate part of the savings (or in the case of "high end" g... 
behringer reference?
There has been a lot written about this amp on Audiogon and also in the Magneplanars user group, and I for one am a big fan.I have three of them so far, and use two in a monoblock configuration for mini monitors on my main desktop at home.Compared... 
How to remove scratches from lidcover turntable
Does Novus also work for CDs and DVDs?Why would this be a different question? What about car wax, Brasso and all the usual answers for digital media? 
"Near Field" Home Cinema with 1080 Screens
My Mom told me that, too, which is why I enjoy sitting so close.I guess one question would be how big does one perceive the screen to be if 42" at 3 feet vs 32" at 2 feet?

MapmanI think your idea is a very nice one, and your son is lucky to have such a thoughtful Dad.Larryken does have a point, and perhaps there is a way to dovetail an interest in audio with all the more contemporary multi media stuff. Among other i... 
Levinson, Pass labs or Parasound?

I think those of you who know me well realize I like to get a bit cheeky once in a while, in the good natured pursuit of further conversation.But Jafox you are sounding a little defensive.I have also owned and enjoyed Apogees, Martin Logans, ATCs,...

Maggies and rolled off treble
I would say the newer Maggies and Soundlabs are a much better fit for neurotic audiophiles than the older Maggies, yes.I would not necessarily say that either are bad speakers. 
Maggies and rolled off treble
Midrange is the unsung hero of good audio and happy audiophiles.This is why Magneplanars, LS35a's, Quad ESL 57's, Celestion 600's and precious few others are legendary speakers, many years after they were first manufactured.In the meantime, neurot... 
Great systems in butt-ugly rooms
Just because Albert Porter may live, entertain, or serve dinners in his listening room doesn't mean it isn't "dedicated". 
The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt
Crem1So far, I think +/- 18 months.I have never had a problem, and never turned them off - other than once in a while when they have suffered a power outage which is more than average where we live.Periodic outages and/or surges have also not affe...

Chris and other fans:For "older" Maggies, are you including Maggies with ribbon tweeters?Or the really old Maggies, like MG-1bs, MG-II's, Tympani 1-D's. I have had several pairs of Maggies and now have Tympani IVa's with ribbons.To this day, my fi... 
Is this when you have "arrived??"
Which side of Alan Parsons?
