| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Wouldn't a system look cheap to your rich friends if you used non-designer cables on a six figure (or much more) system? There is a very small difference in the handling on my sports car with the absolute best tires I can get, and no the girls don... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? A person with no budget spends this money on cables for one reason, to please his friends who will say it could sound better with more expensive cables. You wouldn't put Yokohamas on your Ferrari. would you? If you answer in the affirmative, use ... | |
| Cartridge Performance vs Humidity Do you think it is OK to mix the science of measuring what you think you hear with the religion of "Bloom"? | |
| Possibly dumb question: can I use two cable runs for each channel, not bi-wired? True bi-amping of speakers from different amps to different drivers, ie woofers and mains, would show a doubling of resistance when adding them together, which is not the case, because they are still the same to each set of drivers. Bi-wiring acco... | |
| I just went to put in a $4.00 add and now I have to give my whole financial history..... I thought it wasn't "Free". TeeHee | |
| Speaker Recommendation Needed We B&W 800 series owners know what clean and bright is, and we wonder why they are so rarely mentioned by audiophiles on this site. I love my 803's, but I do realize that subs are necessary for bad recordings and/or people with no tone control... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt The absolute best wood for a turntable base is the cabinet or dresser in the next room. | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs 1979 MSRP TT, etc., $1050; 1996 speaker MSRP, $3600.My cost: $500, TT; Speakers, $700 plus a bit of horse trading; zero after trades. | |
| The illusion of soundstage. I had some excellent Classe equipment given to me, two Classe preamps and two amps. One amp was 350 wpc ad the other 150 x 6 or 300 x 3. The preamps were their soul/marketing mates. One channel of the stereo amp was out due to blown fuses... | |
| Obscure bands Does anyone remember Miami's group, GAME? They were very good. I still listen occasionally. Ditto: Knoxville's Judy Bats. How about Eloy? | |
| No mention of Audio Research in Absolute Sound Give me something to review and let me keep it for half or less of it's retail and I will write a glaring review. | |
| Bass traps - too many choices!! I raised my subs about a foot and love the difference. | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd Despite my abhorrence for tone controls, I have found that the smaller B&W's sound tremendous with some bass boost. Recently I sold one of my many sets of DM 14's to a buddy who has a Marantz 125 wpc, 1970's receiver. The bass contro... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Since my head amp inverts the signal, should I just rotate the fuses in my amp and drill a hole to attach my volume knob backwards on the shaft, or maybe just do one of the above? TeeHee | |
| what does a power conditioner really do? As well as providing (Often) sequential turn on or your components, a power condition, a power conditioner tries to make up for amplifier and preamp designs that do not have a well designed power supply, IMHO. They also give the retailer ... |
