| Speaker Placement So by 160-170 degrees relative to the listening position you mean firing almost directly away from the listener? There are some speakers with ambiance drivers that are aimed backwards and Bose speakers certainly adhere to that philosophy but it wo... | |

| Are there any audiophile quality streaming options Gdush, Sorry that no one seems to be answering your question. I don't have an Oppo so I can't either - directly. However, I stream Mog through my Squeezebox Touch and it requires an account on Logitech's Squeezecenter site that the Touch logs into... | |
| Is it too much to ask.... I understand Viridian's point about the type of buyer he prefers to deal with and that's his right as a seller. However, sellers should know that perceptions cut both ways. When I see an ad without much of a description, it smacks of deception or ... | |
| Are there any audiophile quality streaming options RD, As you say, this isn't a technical problem since HD movies are already being streamed. The only real issues I can think of are the bandwidth cost that the streaming company would incur and the fact that all of their music would have to be re-r... | |
| Are there any audiophile quality streaming options I also agree with Sfar. I've been a Mog subscriber for about a year now - streaming through my Logitech Touch. It sounds terrific and, even though I can tell the difference between a CD and Mog, the ability to explore new music and try out an albu... | |
| A clue for the clueless Well, I know Jax was just blowing off a little steam and so was I really. But in the end we were trying to help the inexperienced sellers too. So much for this being a COMMUNITY of hobbyists. I personally think that having equipment listed with ap... | |
| Anyone Heard The New Mid-Monos? When he says "Power is 40 watts at 50% triode operation with the standard EL34s; 45 with KT88s; and 50 with KT90s." I think he means that he is only using half of the triode tube. There's a little more information here. I don't *think* this means ... | |
| Audioengine A2 Speakers - Welcome To My Office I've considered the A5+ after "losing" my A2's to my daughter. Still trying to decide if they will be too big for my desktop. I did try the A2's with my TV a couple of times and they sounded pretty good (within reason) with Pink Floyd's Pulse conc... | |
| Audioengine A2 Speakers - Welcome To My Office Nonoise, take a look at the Zvox line of products. I think, in most circumstances, this makes more sense than a sound bar. | |
| A clue for the clueless Agreed. I'd also add that, when you take pictures of your item, LOOK AT THEM BEFORE YOU UPLOAD THEM. If they are blurry, take more pictures. If all you have is a crappy cellphone camera, buy or borrow a decent camera to take them. Try to get plent... | |
| Audioengine A2 Speakers - Welcome To My Office I too am a fan of these little speakers (although I lost them to my daughter at college!). Did you get the rubber stands that angle the speakers up at you from desk height? These make a big difference. I'd also give them a chance to break in befor... | |
| E.L.O. - Electric Light Orchestra I think ELO's Time is a very much under-appreciated album. | |
| Why so low? While compression undoubtedly plays a part, I believe that most of the reason for the low level is because direct-to-disc are mixed AND CUT in real time. The engineer running the lathe that is cutting the master has to guess what the loudest signa... | |
| Upscale audio advice Samhar, Here is Upscale's page concerning the 6922 family of tubes. As I said, the 7DJ8s are working fine in my preamp and have been for the past 5 months. Dick |
