| Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid I haven't had a tube integrated but have had a solid state/tube hybrid integrated. (LSA Signature). I would say you might want to try the Plinius 9200 which I also owned and has a tubelike quality. | |
| Autos with stock awsome sound systems; Recomend? I read that the problem with aftermarket car stereo systems is that they are not calibrated to the specific car's interior and interior acoustics but that stock systems are calibrated to the car's interior by the manufacturer. Therein lies the pro... | |
| Isaac Hayes Another great one has passed on. He has great work in his discography as mentioned, Hot Buttered Soul, Black Moses, Live at the Sahara Tahoe. But in my opinion, his genius (that's right genius), can be found in the primarily instrumental "Shaft" s... | |
| Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners Jpagan, I've had a few including the Hydra and PS Premier. No matter what anyone recommends to you or how great they say it is in their system, their opinion is just their opinion. These devices work well in some systems and poorly in others. All ... | |
| Power Cord for PS Audio Power Plant Premier? Cables perform differently in every system. So keep auditioning until your systems delivers the magic. | |
| Power Cord for PS Audio Power Plant Premier? I tried many cords on the Premier. I stayed under $1k as well, as I have a hard time rationalizing that kind of cash. On the Premier I tried the stock pc, DCCA Reference Master (2008), DCCA Musical Essence 2, Audience Powerchord, Wergzyn Copper Sl... | |
| about to jump into the power cord foray The VH Audio power cords are very good performance to dollar cables. Why would you put another CD changer in your setup? That will likely continue to be a weak link in your system. Hint: look at some low to mid fi single disc cd players for improv... | |
| Opinions of people who have OWNED Adagio's If I am ever aloud to do it again I will get the extreme Adagios from Response audio 07-26-08: Brm1 No offense, but the word is spelled "allowed" rather than "aloud." If you are ever allowed? In other words, if your wife ever allows you to buy the... | |
| Jolida CD-100...Who has moved on and... I have a few cdps. One of them is a modded JD100. The posters here that were critical of the Jolida did so likely because it was a poor match in their system. Although I've never heard the stock unit, the moddded Jolida I have is a pretty good mus... | |
| Audiophile Wallpaper... the digital kind Agree with Roxy54. I do the same thing. I don't know of a specific site for audiophile wallpaper. You could also utilize pics from Sixmoons. Audioreview has some nice pics I've used as well. Look around. There are lots of beautiful digital pics of... | |
| Has anyone had success converting friends? No my friends could care less and especially if they knew the financial investment I've made. | |
| Opinions of people who have OWNED Adagio's Ditto S7horton. Dave, your post is very appropriate. I have learned from my system and changes in the setup that speakers will reveal different nuances and qualities that at first you did not realize were there. Living with the speakers is the bes... | |
| When is the last time you randomly ran into It never happened so far. Don't know any either, except my online friends. That's one of the reasons I spend so much time posting here. Being a lone audiophile can be isolating. | |
| LCD HD TV Picture Quality Lacking Thanks for all the feedback. Not sure what model Sony Bravia it is. I'll try to check. | |
| LCD HD TV Picture Quality Lacking Thanks. I'm not sure what kind of hookup to the cable system it is since the cable company connected my Dad's tv and I was not there at the time. My father-in-law hooked it up himself to his digital cable box. My Dad and father-in-law subscribe to... |
