Rock and Roll Snobbery No-money: Same with my system as stated above. Last night we had company and listened to the Eagles "Hell" CD at a louder level than I have ever played the system before (a little Boxing Day celebration). After the first couple of songs I had to p... | |
Speaker Enclosures Gmkowal: If you have considered trying out SET amps in your system you may want to take a look at the Hammer speaker kit @ hammerdynamics.com - there are also some user reviews at Audio Asylum under the high efficiency speaker section. You can buy... | |
Help: Solid vinyl black out drapes? My parents ordered vinyl blackout drapes for the upstairs bedrooms in their home from a JC Penny catalog in the 60's. I remember picking out the color for my room from the catalog. They are also good for insulation which is why we ordered them, my... | |
Rock and Roll Snobbery Also, some speakers sound their best at moderate to high sound levels and do not do well at low listening levels and visa versa (amps also effect this nature). Unless you have a great deal of money to invest it is probably best to try and balance ... | |
Audible Illusions Mod. III I agree with Tom. A family friend is a classical music buff and has been through both preamps in his system. He ended up with the L1 because it did not traffic jam (at all) on major complex works. I to be perfectly honest was not really able to di... | |
Mapleshade Double Helix I am using the Double Helix digital cable with no difficulty. Try talking to Pierre at Mapleshade who is a wealth of information and good luck. | |
Sonic Frontiers Preamps - Cold & thin? Hmmm: I listened a SF CD player a while back. I did not give it too much attention as it was way out of my price range (even used). I did not find it to be thin or cold at all. The speakers in the demo were Linn's and I did not pay any attention t... | |
How did U get into this expensive hobby? Leafs: You aren't a soccer hooligan are you? That would explain it. | |
How did U get into this expensive hobby? Yes Leafs: Once again, one of your snarling little rat posts that contains absolutely no useable information or humility and is as usual extremely tiresome. | |
DAC at us$1000 Thanks for the cord "plug" Tubegroover. I have a couple others that I would like to audition as well which means The Cable Company. I would also like to try the Mapleshade PC, if I can come up with a nonconductive protective conduit to shield it w... | |
SFCD-1, Theta Miles or Linn Karik? Well, your going to get a lot of different takes on these players. I have found all three to sound entirely different in auditions, I am a bit swarthy but I would not go as far as to say that my ears are golden. The Miles and Linn were auditioned ... | |
High Fidelity Sex Objects Yes, but most of the interested parties (male audiophiles) were just interested in purchasing one (instead of the pair). | |
How do you feel about your system? PS: I would also like to note that the all in one CD player, that I originally lusted after retails with tax for the same amount that I paid for my entire system. So from a potlicker's standpoint I am doubly pleased with what I now own. I am also ... | |
How do you feel about your system? Hi Welfred: We share a common history in that I stopped owning decent gear and pretty much listening to music from 1985 up to the year 2000 (it's a long story). When I started to put together a system earlier this year I was faced with digital as ... | |
Best Customer Service (Manufacturer) Castle Acoustics of England. I recently inquired in regard to a replacement binding post for one of my Castle Acoustic Isis speakers (I stripped one of the nuts due to my ham handedness). I communicated with Andy at their UK location and before I ... |
