| Bringing back the dead? Funny, I ran into three pairs of the EPI 100's (with blown woofer surrounds) in various thrift shops this past weekend. A few months ago the same thing happened with the original Advent speaker. Almost everyone that I grew up with that was into mu... | |
| Power Strip vs. Line Conditioner I also use a Monster HTS-2000 conditioner with good results in an apartment in LA. It only improves the sound in my setup. I am considering running a second one in series off of the digital power outlet of the first. I would plug my amp into the f... | |
| pwr conditioner - vans evers unlimiter Doug: What PC's came with (or are you using with) the unlimiters? | |
| Monitor Speaker Vote "Face Off"... I have listened to everything on your wish list except the Tylo's (never heard of them). My personal favorite is the SR-17's, but your favorite may be entirely different. You need to do whatever you can to audition speakers before settling down wi... | |
| Bringing back the dead? I miss my old Eico HF-81 integrated amp (the only EL-84 Hi-fi amp that I ever cared for) . I have almost bid on this amp many times on Ebay, but end up cringing and reconsidering when I add the cost of having it completely rebuilt to specs (I no l... | |
| Audiophile spending I agree with Perfect in that the ratio does not mean a lot in our case. Regardless of the system's cost, we would have purchased the same amount of source material in the same manner. The few CD'sthat we purchase at retail (or above) are things th... | |
| Audiophile spending We have purchased approx. 300 CD's in the past year. 90% of the CD's were purchased on the used market in the range of $1 to $5 each (the current going rate being a little higher now at $3-$5 each). I gave 50 or so of the CD's to my parents (all o... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Thanks Khrys: I'll bet that's it. We received the piece on a "burned CD" without any other info. Everyone that I have played and hummed it to has noted the BA commercial but did not know the name. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music The Mozart piece that was used in the British Airways commercials (don't know the name of it). | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack "Dead Man Walking" (various), "Angela's Ashes" (John Williams), "The English Patient" (?), "Breakfast at Tiffany's (Mancini) and if you like Gilbert & Sullivan try "Topsy-Turvy". | |
| Impulsive audio purchase Noonen: See if you can get them burned to CD. You can then listen to the CD and look at the album cover. You probably had this in mind when you purchased them, but just forgot. | |
| Speaker Placement Good news JD. My speakers have a tendency to "creep" if you know what I mean, and the soundstage just gets better and better. | |
| SHUNYATA BLK MAMBA or WHALE ELITE? "incorporate" | |
| SHUNYATA BLK MAMBA or WHALE ELITE? Has anyone compared the EEL to the Whale? Other than Brulee and Lak I do not recall any references to the EEL. Does the Whale eat the EEL alive or do they have similar traits? I am also interested in the Whale but would not be able to swing 3 or 4... | |
| Speaker Placement JD: Very nice post in a nutshell, which I made a hard copy of. I have a lense cleaning disc (that I have been afraid to use) that has white as well as pink noise tracks. Though I don't have a wide range of options as far as permanent placement of ... |
