Upgrading the Source.
WarrenhThere is no disputing taste. You like(love maybe?) your monitors so of course, they are perfect for you. That doesn't make pbawcutt option of Polk's LSi9s any less valid. I'll repeat what I said earlier though, if you get a chance, listen t... 
Upgrading the Source.
Warren:Just out of curiosity; have you heard the Polk LSi9's?? I ask you because if you're thinking polk sound from Circuit City, then you're off. This speakers are another beast altogether and are very, VERY good sounding speakers. If you're diss...

I would say...Beyonce Knowles is one of the most beautiful female singer to come along in the last couple of years... 
Perreaux 350P
I wonder if it was a specific problem to Tvad's unit.I used to have a Perreaux 200iP integrated amp, which is the 200P amp plus an active preamp section. Anyway I remember demoing Martin Logan Ascent speakers with the integrated which are a notori... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Cpdunn99I know my statement may sound kind of silly, and that this next post will probably rub audiophiles the wrong way, but you see? I have seen from some audiophiles an attitude as though the audio gear becomes more important than the music. Me... 
What other obsessions do you have?
I happen to find some of the posts here quite refreshing. Specially those from people that dont take themselves so seriously and can poke fun at themselves and others... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
I drive an 2002 Isuzu Axiom XS...in the immediate future I will be riding the same vehicle as I plan on making full use of the 10 year - 120,000 mile power train warranty...If Money wasn't a concern for me...I dont know, I'm not that big into cars... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
I brought home some Limoncello from Rome...goes pretty good straight up with a mild cigar...I got two boxes of hand rolled Puerto Rican cigars...most people wouldn't even know the brand, as they are rolled in a small shop in the west side of the I... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Rum and Coke with a good cigar does the trick for me. I have a bottle of 12 years aged, Puerto Rican rum...the brand is Don Q "Gran Anejo". Barcardi 8 Anos also works. Good rum, good cigar, and good music, what else can anyone ask for? 
Sim Audio Moon P-5 too dry
If I may suggest, check out Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval interconnects. I am using them on a Pioneer Elite Unviersal Player(DV-47A) going to a Perreaux Radiance R200i Integrated and I have been pretty happy with them. They definitely bettered a... 
newbie 1st post 2 channel reccomendations.
AtagiI'm somewhat of a newbie to this hobby too, but I've gotten to audition some gear.I hear you on the Polk LSi15s. I think the problem you have with them(the loose bass) is that, they need an amplifier with (REALLY)high current capability, and ... 
Moon Nova or Eclipse?
Mthieme:I hear you on the dealer's "elitist" point of view. Saying crap like "decent digital" starts at $5K. I've heard very good players at around $2000 and I bet there are cheaper players or DACs that can do wonderful music, for less than that.(... 
What does Flat Earth mean in audio circles?
That's funny...In reality the term "Fuzzy" is used because conventional logic uses very hard boundaries to define events(groups, objects, variables, etc...). For example, under conventional logic an object either belongs or does not belong to a gr... 
What does Flat Earth mean in audio circles?
I would respectfully to disagree on the Fuzzy Logic subject. It it would be a long discussion and I'm not sure this is the forum. But I'll say, the problem is a lot of people don't understand that Fuzzy Logic is nothing but a more natural way of r...

Nrchy:Sorry to hear you weren't amuse...I guess not everyone has a sense of humor, and some people have a real high sense of self importance...Newbee:Yeah man, my day was dragging yesterday...
