| What hurts a speaker? UPS!!! | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? Rsbeck - Are you suggesting that audiophiles listen to Clifford Brown because of the quality of the recording? Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'm not suggesting that any of the great performers whom you listed are equivalent to the "audiophile... | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? Sugarbrie said it best. "...companies were using specially recorded CD's to show off their gear. The performances from a musicians standpoint on many of them made my skin crawl."I think we've all purchased "specially recorded" music in one shape o... | |
| 'semi-budget' amps for Platinum Audio Solos I agree with RGD. They need a TON of power. No integrated (at least in that price range) is gonna' do it. The more power you feed them, the better. I had spectacular results with an Acoustat TNT 200 (200 wpc MOSFET) and a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 pre... | |
| Help with Ohm Walsh 2's You can purchase new "cans" from Ohm. You can also send your "cans" in to them where one or both drivers can be replaced.My first "audiophile" speakers were Ohm Walsh 2s and they were terrific. My father still uses his for surround speakers in his... | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas I feel for you Ernie. I disagree, however, with your decision to make another post before F&S has a chance to come up with a reasonable trade-in offer. It seems to me that, by doing this, you are putting pressure on F&S to accomodate your ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Macrojack - Are refrigerators or stereos much better...financially speaking? | |
| Matching Royd Speakers A friend of mine had his Hemors modified (relatively expensive but he had some kind of "insurance" that covered most of the cost). Prior to the mod they sounded too "hot"...the kind of sound that'd make your ears "bleed". It's taken awhile to get ... | |
| What percentage do you spend on each component? In order of expense, greatest to least.Speakers = 68.5%Integrated = 15%CD Player = 11%Cables = 5.5%A bit extreme, but surprisingly well-balanced. | |
| Jolida JD 100 CD Player Isn't EVERYTHING Stereophile Class A? | |
| Have You Ever Put Your Golden Ears to the Test?? I don't know what would be more embarassing...learning that (through blind tests) you prefer Bose 901s over your _____(your favorite boutique brand here)...or that you like Miller Genuine Draft over _____(your favorite micro-brew here).As Newbee p... | |
| Have You Ever Put Your Golden Ears to the Test?? Good point Newbee. There has to be a "reference". You must be listening to equipment that you're familiar with in an environment with which you're also familiar. I would tend to agree that "double-blind" testing performed by people who don't even ... | |
| Sonic Relativism? Xanax might be more appropriate...with the added benefit of treatment for ringing ears. See indications.Alprazolam is an antianxiety agent, benzodiazepines. Used primarily for short-term relief of mild to moderate anxiety and nervous tension. Alpr... | |
| Monitor Audio GR 10 Never heard them, but if I was about to plunk down $2K+, I'd happily drive several hours. You might even find out that dealer carries a whole different line of speakers that you never even considered. | |
| Wilson Benesch ARC Monitors - Any comments? I think that's what adamryan meant by clinical. They don't add or subtract. Highly neutral...clinical. Nothing wrong or necessarily derogatory about his comments. Just seems like good, sound advice. |
