| Why pay so much for super high end? Hi gdhal,More channels than four seems to me like the manufacturers’ pushing 1080p TVs to those that already owned 720p with screen sizes 50" and under. If you sit the proper distance from the two different resolution 50" TVs of the same quality o... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Hey o,If you look closely at that DIY article that you linked, it gives the absorption coefficients at different frequencies for those 3 types of rigid board products. They are different at 125hz and 250hz. You might want to try to get a good hand... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Very fine preamplifiers, o. Congrats!Dave | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Got it Terry. I have friends that spend the same amount of money on a mid-fi surround system with a crappy sub that a good hi-end starter system would have cost and then ask me for advice because they quickly begin to notice the issues with muffl... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Two great speakers with an equally great amp and front end in an acoustically treated room will always have a more natural and musical soundstage (among other things) than a 3+ speaker system with mediocre speakers and componentry.]Those that have... | |

The latest digital EQ technology is a great solution for bass correction if you don’t have an analog source (ie TT) that would do not want converted to digital. I would still deal with basic reflection issues using aco... | |

| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Hi o,The best solutions are free ones, even if they are self-deprecating. I would first have tried leaving the drapes up (glass is almost always the enemy of good sound so all of my windows in my listening room are blocked off with drywall) and ex... | |
| Need recommendation for a CD player No contest if the sound quality is your primary criteria, ericruff. Since MW uses the same base power supply type, similar tube circuitry, and vibration-reduction modifications an all of their players, any properly-functioning MW player will sound... | |
| Class D Technology My good buddy Glen (shibui). A fantastic friend, an all-around great guy, and an ardent and experienced audiophile/music lover with a superb-sounding system. What more could anyone ask? | |
| Class D Technology Well said, atmasphere. One of things that stands out, at least to me, about the H2O Class D amp is that it uses an extremely robust power supply comparable to the great SS/Tube amps. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/h2o2/1.html http://iceh2oaudi... | |
