| What Possessed Me to Do This? Tim,My wife of 40 years is the same weight she was when I first met her...I've become "more robust" since. | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? My first "real" system had a pair of Dynaco A25 bookshelf speakers, driven by a modest Kenwood integrated amp. That combination sounded pretty good...but not as good as my large Advents driven by a McIntosh MC225 with a Dynaco PAT4 preamp.Both sy... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? noble100,I know I'll get killed for saying this, but I am smitten with my Focal Sopra No2 speakers, have heard them driven by a few different amplifiers, but for my hearing, the McIntosh MC452 I own seems to drive them best. That puppy is 110# ou... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? paulburnett,The paints that are available now don't seem to give off fumes. Having said that, if I were you, I'd just keep the door to the audio room closed for a bit, if you are concerned about voc, sounds reasonable to me. | |
| $3000 stand mounted speakers? If you'd be open to purchasing a pre-owned speaker, I'd recommend you look at the Totem Fire monitors. | |
| Your memory of Audio Marketing, esp. B.S. How about that photo of the "blown away man"? https://iconicphotos.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/blown-away-man/ | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? paulburnett,I'm fastidious about my equipment, save all the original cartons. IMO, yes, it was 100% necessary to pack up my equipment. We are selling our house, listing it in April and the real estate agent has told us what we need to do to "sta... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? bob540,...and yes, I have a car from a company headquartered in Munich, with a six cylinder engine, with twin turbos...though I mostly drive it in "eco mode". | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? bob540,Good ideas. In my case, after upgrading this, changing that, for a few years, I have components that have a great "synergy". I love the way my system sounds on all the types of music I enjoy!Yes, I am "60-something". | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? aewarren & asvjerry,We are having a house built in the Biltmore Lake community, one with a "bonus room" above the garage.When we sell our house in Maryland, we'll move in with our daughter, who has lived in Asheville over 10 years now. We've ... | |
| Chemically Altered Audio I found an elixir from Scottland that makes my system sound better... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? I'm all "boxed up" with my son and his friend's help. I'll be taking my boxed up system to a local "climate controlled" storage unit, so the room is empty enough for the painters to come in and do their magic.I'm confident that we'll have the hou... | |
| Greenville, SC waltersalas,We are in the early stages of having a new home built in the Biltmore Lake community, near Asheville. I suspect the new home won't be ready until the end of 2020, maybe into 2021. And yes, I am having a "bonus room" above the garage,... | |
| Considering going back to Solid State I had a McIntosh C50 (solid state preamp) paired with my McIntosh MC452 (solid state power amp), and had the opportunity to audition a McIntosh C2500 tube preamp, and found that it had a slightly more "musical" tone, especially with acoustic instr... | |
| The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it? For those who have posted: “Remember how much money Wadia commanded for their upsampling DACs?.” I have a PS Audio DirectStream DAC, which upsamples as well. Maybe that's one of the pieces of the puzzle, why so many 44.1/16 sources sound just a... |
