| 2k$ speakers that meet my criteria? "TIA" = Transient Ischemic Attack? You having a brain fart?Not sure which Hyperion model you are talking about, but I have had the 938s. I prefer them even to the Vandy 5s. The 938s are more transparent, sound livelier, and have better soundstage/... | |
| soft dome speakers In your price range, I would also look into the Silverline Audio speakers. I think they use Dynaudio soft dome tweeters. I have the Minuet which is surprisingly good at $600 MSRP, but I got a good discount from a dealer. They got ones at $1000 and... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Rrog, I think you give live music too much credit. I heard live music screw up the sound of a great acoustic guitar because of bad acoustics of the hall. I play the classical guitar so I pretty much know the timbre of the instrument. The right rec... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music My Bose 901s did cymbals just right as long as cymbals were made of aluminum foil :) | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Irvrobinson, I agree with you. Live amplified music almost always sounds bad. I go to Austin often to hear live rock, blues and jazz bands, and most of the time I have to leave because my ears can't take the aural assault. But some of the most enj... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Rrog, I used to think like you too, but my experience has taught me you don't need to compare your system to live music to enjoy your system. When I listen to reproduced music, I don't think to myself "Wow, I wonder how it sounds live". I just enj... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Newbee, I whole heartedly agree with you. | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Craig_hoch, try not to be condescending to fellow audiophiles and pay attention to my original post. All any of us have is our opinion to contribute here. If you read my response above, I attend unamplified live music regularly. I'm an amateur cla... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Rrog, pay attention and read my post again. I did say live music (at least good sounding live music) is my reference. if you haven't noticed, everything on this forum is matter of opinion. I said the speakers are the most important BESIDES THE ROO... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Jmcgrogan2 and Mapman, my musical preference leans towards classical, small jazz bands, and female vocals, mostly unamplified music. The best sounding halls I've been in is the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a small classical music hall at my unive... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? There is another LDR preamp on the market called Lighter Note Preamp but it's DIY mostly but costs I think around $170 for the kit. But you can get the PCB populated by the designer for a little more. All you have to do is get the chassis, RCA, an... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? George, do you have a website where I can see and read about your preamp? | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? What about the Lighter Note preamp? Do you consider it to be a blatant rip off also? Seems like it has a different power supply than the Light Speed. | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? Sorry George, didn't realize it was a multi-input remote controlled copy of your preamp. I think many would consider buying a multi-input remote controlled version of your Lightspeed preamp. I understand your preamp was "advertized" to the DIY cro... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? I was at the Lone Star Audio Fest and heard a LDR preamp. I was surprised how smooth, transparent, and natural it sounded compared to a tubed preamp. There is a Serbian company that makes a fully functional remote controlled LDR preamp called Myth... |
