| Review: Spendor S5e Speaker Hello and thanks for writing this interesting review.Seems like Spendor and Proac get consistently great reviews.I owned Proac 3.8s for a brief period and concur these are great sounding speakers.I sold them because they needed more volume, to ope... | |
| Last night at Chapman Audio Systems Hi Mike,Glad to hear about your adventure.I've experienced something similar a few times in the past.My term for this phenomenon is "paradigm shock".When something is radically better (or different) than we expect, our brain "freaks out" and unlea... | |

| I love this hobby- I think when we say "music" here what we're really talking about is the "Spirit" we hope the music will invoke. | |
| Whats up with Carver/Sunfire? I'm a Bob Carver fan from way back.My guess is that he doesn't kiss corporate magazine butt to get his stuff reviewed.Also, it's well known that he voices his equipment to suite his personal taste rather than shooting for absolute neutrality. This... | |
| Jadis JP200 and Marantz 7 clones from Hong Kong Bartokfan: Forgive my poor communication skills."You-know-who" does not refer to noble Jadis but to our "friends" in Hong Kong.Speaking of "friends", remember the scene in "Mars Attacks!"when the little people where scampering around with a loudsp... | |
| Jadis JP200 and Marantz 7 clones from Hong Kong Wait a minute.This could be interesting.Not that I'm any fan of you-know-who, but why couldn'ta great design be reverse engineered and sold for closeto its parts only cost (plus slave labor of course).I doubt if you could reproduce a 27K anything ... | |
| I love this hobby- Reminded of this quote from an ad in Stereophile: "Music is what life wants to be". | |
| On a budget 802N or 803D??? Dealer says 803D. Nice review Dr. Lou! | |
| B&W 803D and Pathos Classic One I used to drive KEF Q1's (typical 8 ohm, 2 way monitor) with a mighty Almarro 3 watt/ch integrated (EL84 tubes).I could play them louder than I needed with this amp.I don't see why 80 watts/ch would be "underpowered" unless you're trying to reprod... | |

| wadia making mistake? I recently read that SACD is extremly simple to "piggyback" onto a redbook circuit.Seems DVD-A is not.I just shipped my Sony DVP-9000ES for repairs.The clerk at the UPS store remaked how heavy a DVD player it was. I explained that it was the first... | |
| Has this ever happened to you? ----Long "Mr. Smith, please report to Matrix portal XR712EGH-12.Foster unit failure to comply with audiophile "More is more" subroutine 24R.3.Mr. Smith, do you copy?" | |
| Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening? Only it wasn't called a caterpillar -it was an "ear wig". | |
| Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening? Seriously, ear candles are a scam.The proof? Look into the (hollow) ear candle after use.What do you see? Gobs of "ear wax".Next, perform the procedure without putting candle in the ear.Look into the tube. Same exact "ear wax"!Guess how I know... |
