| Tree in listen room disburse reminds me, back in the 80s bose advertised its then-new acoustimass system in a room with indoor tree-like plants, the satellites were hidden behind the foliage, and the ad continued, "you may not see them, but you sure can hear them!" or words t... | |
| Dang it, I'm Deaf.... russ, can you please describe how the cochlear implant makes music sound? i'd heard that they have invented new algorithms that can be programmed into older implants that give them a more "FM" kind of sound quality. i also heard they invented some... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? detailed specs are a great guide but they only go so far for me. i MUST be IN THE ROOM with the speakers, playing MY music ONLY, what i am familiar with. if it sounds musical but doesn’t image well, FAIL. if it images like 3D holography but sounds... | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- how in blazes to choose just ONE xmas song??? that’s like trying to choose just one of any other kinda music. that said, i could take the stereo version of the Ronettes’ "sleigh ride" to heaven with me. there is magic there. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? when i lose track of time. | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? i have modest specimens of 3 time-and-phase-aligned speakers -- one by magnapan, one by thiel, one by vandersteen, and they all image equally well [IOW when fed the right material they all seem to "disappear" leaving just the stereo image] to my e... | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. a great solution for speakers/equipment/listening room environment with biting treble or a harsh [bright] balance, would be a modern implementation of the old quad preamp’s spectral tilt control. wish somebody would make something like that nowada... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. ^^^millercarbon, can you tell me the reason magnolia and speakerlab went away? | |
| Audiophile virtues a cruel irony for many of us of modest backgrounds, is that by the time we are rich enough to own high-end gear, a lot of us are pretty old, and our hearing is not in as ready a state to enjoy the high-end sound, as it was when we were young and b... | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? in homes i've heard mellow klipsch speakers and harsh klipsch speakers, sometimes among the same model. i've heard sharp khorns and mellow khorns, i can only conclude it was the room and/or electronics that did them in. in the showroom, the tower ... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. i wish there was a high end audio salon within 2 hours of where i live. only in the big cities it seems. i've been there and been treated like dog$#!+ stuck on the heel of their fancy italian shoes, but i was assertive in terms of listening to the... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system the rega brio R sounded class A "tubey warm" to me when i gave it an extended listen. 50 watts per side. totally unharsh with waveform-rounding circuitry at max power to avoid clipping. acts somewhat like an SET in that respect. runs somewhat warm... | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? KISW-FM 99.9, seattle- progressive rock station that veered amazingly far into frothy pop. this was back in the glory days of album-oriented rock and they would play the whole album. it was where i first heard the rick wakeman album, "rhapsodies" ... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. thanx to CEDAR NR, i can sorta enjoy the sound of vinyl at least in real time. much of my music is restored dubs of LPs. i have always been extra-sensitive to surface noise, wow from warps, inner groove distortion, subtle mistracking damage from p... | |
