| Best Equipment Stand You simply can't beat solid maple for an audio rack in my opinion. I was very fortunate to work with a good friend who does high end woodwork to design and build my own solid maple rack. It has 4 shelves spaced just right for my gear and is 4' wid... | |
| $16K new/used speaker question? There are a pair of Vienna Acoustic "The Music" in New Jersey on the sight right now for $14K. I would highly recommend having a conversation with the owner. I have to admit that I have not heard them but everything I have heard from other owners ... | |
| Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered" jafant,This is not really a re-master per se, it's more of a re-mix. The recording engineer chose to use the original studio master and then rather than enhancing it, simply chose to use a minimum amount of reverb and that's all. It's kind of an u... | |
| Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered" ghost,I appreciate your comments and especially the opinion of a professional in the industry. I really thought I would be enhancing my listening experience of this great CD. I had ordered this disc as a pre-order prior to it's release so I was ce... | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? I have to echo jmcgrogan2 go for the Legacy speakers. There was recently a pair for sale here at the ridiculous low price of $1500.00. What a steal....er, I mean deal! | |
| Timbernation I feel so fortunate to have a good friend that does high end wood work. I was able to work with him and do a lot of the work myself on a four shelf solid maple rack. It was a winter project so we had a lot of fun getting together on Sunday's and b... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows For me, and I suspect most here, listening to music is an emotional experience. When someone disrupts that experience (which can be elusive) it is terribly aggravating and in my opinion, disrespectful to the artist performing. If that makes me a s... | |
| Best Drum Solos Well you have to include "Nardis" from the Cafe Blue album from Patricia Barber. Another poster mentioned Mick Fleetwood which made me think of "Tusk" which is not really a solo but worthy no doubt. | |
| Power conditioning from the ground up If I may, I would like to introduce yet another angle to this power discussion. Does anyone use balanced power such as a BPT or an Equitech device? I would be curious to hear replies. | |
| Audio advisor and Constellation amplifiers I live a couple hours North of them and purchased an amp that I told them I would pick up since I was going to be in town. When I arrived it was sitting in the lobby. I was greeted by the receptionist who said Mr. _____? I told her I was and she p... | |
| Revel Ultima Studio 1 vs. Legacy Focus SE. Have to concur with scott_w here. I have a pair of Legacy Focus and prior to switching to LED bulbs I could shake the filaments in incandescent light bulbs! Haven't heard your model Revels but did hear the Salon II's, sorry if I offend anyone but... | |
| Legacy, local news artiicle. What a great article. Even if you don't or haven't owned a pair of Legacy speakers this is a real down to earth story about a true American speaker company. I always enjoy reading the "nuts & bolts" stories like this. Muskrat what? I hated tha... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Wait, where can I get that paint? | |
| Sound quality of Genesis remastered CDs? I must agree with jafant. As an early Genesis fan I have the remastered versions of everything from "And Then There Were Three" back. My remastered versions are older so I can't compare to the new releases. I felt they sounded a bit compressed and... | |
