| 2014 wish list donjr, good move. Build relationships and memories while you can. The system can wait. I always love a good upgrade, but it should never be at the expense of building love. :) | |
| Be honest please List your system, then I'll decide if the question is worth answering. ;) | |
| Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything HiFi can be less expensive than anything. It can sound that way, too. :) | |
| Time to replace Tice Solo? Boy, I'd go real slow on tossing the Tice! If you look at my system you will see that I highly value the Tice Solo! ;)Actually, I don't use it on audio, only HT setup. I have found over many years that power conditioning/regenerating tends to take... | |
| Solid State Amplifier Advancements In A Decade In a decade of reviewing I have seen implementation of some good ideas; banks of smaller capacitors massed vs. a few larger ones, Power Factor Correction, and bridged integrateds like the Musical Fidelity M6500i that I reviewed for Dagogo.com (Not... | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" IMO, for all the science behind it radiometric dating has some serious problems, including the assumptions about the samples. I have read of lava from eruptions less than 150 years ago dated in the tens of millions of years, and of a fresh killed ... | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" Geoffkait, I find the age of the earth question less perturbing than how people can see intelligent design employed every day of their lives, and in fact work with it in their own life, yet fail to see how we are surrounded by living structures of... | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" Chrshanl37, the misdeeds of believers or the failings of human nature are not arguments sufficient to establish the truth or falsehood of a paradigm. So, even though I could discuss them, I am not interested in debating your generalizations about ... | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" "My heaviest laugh is certainly toward religion of any� kind." I don't appreciate your mocking anti-faith agenda. Kindly take it somewhere else. | |
| A-B testing of cables Perhaps a different test could be tried using both mono amps and speakers thus:Hook up one channel of the preamp to one splitter, then send both signals to mono amps and then to speakers. Put the speakers next to each other. Result is a duplicatio... | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs Mitch4t, my perspective is that I would be very cautious about jumping for a speaker that you have heard in audition and were not so impressed, unless I misread your posts. Frankly, I would guess the combo of the REL sub to be as fine or better th... | |
| DAC drops out when Furnace starts or stops. HELP Jea48, Yes, I understand the flow of the conversation. I was simply following up on Al's side comment about cable length. i.e. If someone has a choice between a 1.5m and 2m USB if possible one should try them, as opposed to thinking that the theor... | |
| How important is the amp? Having used dozens of amps on dozens of different speakers my finding is thus:Tube/SS has a relative importance when matching impedance, however, the sound quality of the amp is every bit as important. Often though a tube or SS amp is not theoreti... | |
| DAC drops out when Furnace starts or stops. HELP FYI, I have found no correlation between length of USB cable (1m vs. 1.5m) and performance across brands. You are not assured superior quality/performance from a supposedly ideal 1.5m USB versus another brand 1m. It is also relatively easy to find... | |
| Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement The dealer believes that the room predominantly determines the sound quality. Ergo, put in cheaper gear in a fine room and you have state of the art sound. I disagree. If you put mediocre gear in a fine room, you will hear the mediocre gear the be... |
