| Can the copy sound better than the original? I know this has been argued endlessly but I don't find the idea that farfetched. The issues with reflected light are one possibility but consider also that, during the copy process, the CD has gone through the error correction process of the CD dr... | |
| I need advice on a good value for speakers I imagine all of those people who say "Go to your local dealer and listen" are those who actually HAVE a local dealer to go to. Now I have no idea where Eddyv lives but it's entirely possible (maybe even probable) that he has no local dealers. Man... | |
| Wanted to share with GON members my new "JOB" Wow. Very cool Teajay. Nice to see your hard work paying off. Keep on keeping on.Dick | |
| Pioneer SX-1050: worth repairing? I agree with Tpreaves. It really comes down to how attached you are sentimentally to the unit. Back in the late 70's I lusted after this line but, being a college student, couldn't afford one. I've moved on since then but still have fond memories ... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? There are reasons, other than filling in missing frequencies, to use a sub. One of the benefits of using a sub is that it can free the speaker from trying to reproduce frequencies at the bottom of its range. Many times this will have the effect of... | |
| Complete 2.0 System for Under $3k? Wow, is everyone taking the Memorial Day weekend off from serious posts?I don't see why this can't be accomplished if your expectations aren't sky-high. There are several decent turntables available for $300-400 and some really good integrated amp... | |

| Vandersteen 4 There was actually a Model 4 at one time. No, I don't believe it would be a step up from 3A Signatures.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=8&ved=0CFoQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FVandersteen-Model-4-Very-Rare-%2F33... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cable for Merlin I saw a thread somewhere that recommended Supra Classic 6.0. Bobby tried them too and agreed that they were excellent. MUCH cheaper than $500.I just googled the thread and found it here on Audiogon.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&... | |
| Apple to download 24 bit in iTunes? Sinner,I'm curious why digital music outlets haven't released tracks in 24bit from the git go...I think it's due to the fact that not much mainstream hardware (i.e., iPods) exists to play it. Those of us who crave it are a niche market at best. A ... | |
| Apple to download 24 bit in iTunes? I don't, for one minute, believe that the record companies are doing this for the benefit of consumers. We've seen this before - trying to convince us that we need to replace our current music collection with CD and then SACD/DVD-A (although they ... | |
| How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp Surely we must have some members on here that live near Cleveland and could help Mystertee hear a variety of equipment (probably set up with more care than many high end stores). Any volunteers? We've got a chance to win a convert here! I bet you ... |
