| New level of ridiculousness @racamuti I told your story to a close find of mine...he immediately stated that there are innumerable numbers of poor folk in China who could have greatly benefited from even a very small fraction of the money that the boys in your example lost.... | |
| New level of ridiculousness @racamuti What does your story tells us? | |
| New level of ridiculousness I'm eagerly awaiting the day when we see $1million power strips and $5Million power cords. Better still, $50 Million speaker cables and ic's. After all, at some point there still has to be at least one guy who thinks those prices are no big deal..... | |
| I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ... @erik_squires Funny how, like Keith R stated, ears are different! IMO, the Vandy room was a total loser. No definition in the highs, wooly and out of control bass that sounded like nothing that I recognize as accurate bass reproduction- and imag... | |

| regarding the Tiger Paw tranquility This mod gets quite a lot of good press. Nonetheless, I,too,am interested on the thoughts to the OP’s question. Assuming that there are negatives...Although, like I stated in the other thread, there has been rumor of slippage between the upper mag... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW Listen to both speakers if you can. The Rockports are, at least IMHO, still utilizing the rather ragged sounding beryllium dome for the tweeter. The DAW utilizes the far smoother- and IME extend sounding silk dome ..same as utilized in their WAMM!... | |

| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @danl77 I hope you had that problem looked at!Meanwhile, please let's just stay on the subject. | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth @freediver So, you are annoyed that you had to go through a biasing procedure with the ‘supposed’ Jadis amp that you auditioned. While I agree with you that biasing a tube amp is usually not much fun, Jadis utilize several auto biasing schemes i... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth @freediver I don’t know what Jadis products you were looking at, but I can tell you IME everything you stated about them is false! The amps are built like tanks and are anything BUT flimsy!!! Same goes for their preamps.( Plus their parts quality ... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @czcharlie I don’t think that really answers my OP. Unfortunately, IME in high end ...a lot of times you really do NOT get what you pay for. As the pricing structure in the hobby has escalated, the fact seems to be that you more often do NOT get w... | |
| Time traveling to the San Diego audiophile scene, circa 2000 Very nice article. I was a member of the SDMAG ( i still am, I think??) and the article gave me some good memories. John Thomas was a great guy, sad that he is no longer with us. Today, Stereo Design is no more, Bruce is still at Stereo Unlimited ... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @atmasphere Very interesting post. Why is it that you think that the DBX folks won't even consider the type of amp your are suggesting in a DBX trial? | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @atmasphere You bring up a great point! What is "objectively audible"??I suspect that "objectively audible" is going to be far more objective to some than others. Possibly those that have made up their minds in advance that no such audible diffe... |
