| PS Audio? Rega? Benchmark? Oneafter909: Interesting observations.I was trying to buy a Data Link-III but PS Audio is backlogged until late May so I canceled.Did you try the DL-III in balanced mode?I've heard glowing reviews from the press and 'Gonners for both Benchmark and... | |
| Kef vs Thiel I'm a current Thiel (1.6) owner and have owned the KEF Reference 3-II in the past.I was disappointed with the 3-II (used with ARC VT-100 Mk III & ARC pre-amp).I thought it lacking in overall resolution (could not play it very loud in my apartm... | |
| Five "Golden Rules" of HiFi? Biomimetic: Thought I detected a note of sarcasm in your post. My apologies.I actually DO like headphones.The problem is I like them SO MUCH that I turn 'em WAY UP!My aging eardrums take days to recover.This doesn't occur with speakers.As far as b... | |
| Five "Golden Rules" of HiFi? Biomimetic: Heard of 'em, don't care for 'em.What is the "three quarters of a million median market" business? Someone have self-esteem problems? | |
| Five "Golden Rules" of HiFi? 1. Buy a house first. It doesn't matter how good your equipment if you can turn it up to a realistic level.2. Don't assume that "more costly, more better". So many people think this way that equipment makers are FORCED to inflate their prices to m... | |

| The sealed LP... what is the point? Xiekitchen: Good point. I received a Classic Records Led Zep that, while not warped, was obviously "dished".It played alright (when clamped) but for this kind of money, I returned it for a clean copy. | |

| Sonus Faber Amati Homage vs Thiel 7.2 I'm a Thiel 1.6 owner and I think the 7.2 produces almost faultless sound (with about 400 clean watts/side).In your case I'd experiment with digital corretion or room treatment. If that doesn't work, try the Thiels. | |
| Whats the best record cleaning fluid? Be careful what you ask for...Plug this title into the AGon search engine:A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids | |

| Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best? Tswhitsel:It's true that Eric may not be as versatile as, say, Chet Atkins (by choice is my guess).However, Eric Clapton is a master of his instrument and does things that completely boggle my amateur player's mind (example: Try to learn to solo i... |
