| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment The showcase line at our local dealer is Audio Note. I've heard it numerous times, both there as well as at the homes of friends. My understanding is that Peter Qvortrup--the president of AN--has the largest private LP collection in the world. Whe... | |
| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment We happen to have 104dB speakers, Audiojoy4. They get incredibly loud with 2 or 3 watts. But it takes FAR more power to carry the dynamic heft and slam of live music. I'm not saying you can't ENJOY the music with 3 watts. Even the 1W Berning Micro... | |
| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment Naim can give that emotion as well.Comparing the two is apples & oranges. I like Naim gear a lot, but IMO it does not come close to conveying the realism and emotion that AN does. | |
| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment AN is exactly as you describe, musical to the max. However, unless you're listening to chamber music or lighter fare, it does not have the dynamic weight and slam of live music. More watts are required for that. Be my guest...flame away. | |
| Which power cord to upgrade first? I've never heard a bigger difference than when changing the PC on the source, much more so than the amps in my experience. Obviously, others have heard greater shifts elsewhere. As Wellfed suggests, buy used and experiment. | |
| Revel or Vandersteins 3A's /Which is better? Nuff said.As long as you don't choose a speaker by actually listening to it, you're dead right. Nuff said. | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman but your post also prompts a memory of a fellow banker who went into Bergdorf Goodman in midtown NYC with his slinky new younger girlfriend and was treated badly by the salesperson, he thought because he was wearing torn jeans.Slinky new young gir... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman he went shopping IN DISGUISE with the old van and T-Shirt routine, just to see which salesmen would treat him well, regardless of appearances.It is a routine, isn't it? Either that, or an urban legend that gets recycled over and over in order to p... | |
| XLR-RCA adapters - which to choose? We bought ours from member infinity_audio here on Audiogon.Around $40, and they work great. | |
| I Didn't Do My Homework Look here. | |
| Another Dealer sets the Bar LOW From my 30 yrs experience, I believe Ty is the only dealer I've seen offer a full money back policy.Zu Audio, Decware, and others do the same thing. Many of those advertising re-stocking fees will also wave them if you have verifiable references &... | |
| Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range What kind of amp are you running. In what size room? Adolfo? Adolfo, are you out there? | |
| Great Service from Jean-Marie reynaud Great story, and thank you for reporting it. | |
| Tyler Signature System versus Merlin VSM-MM But more importantly with the Seas, vocals sound as realistic as if you are at a live show.Every live show uses the same type of speakers: horns. SEAS drivers, albeit musical, do not sound remotely like horns. | |
| When is the best time to buy equipment?? Just as soon as the interest-only mortgages are coming to term. |
