| best inerconnect $300 to $400 Another cable in this price range worth an audition is the HT Pro-Silway MkII. Noted for its smooth highs, tight bass and exceptional soundstaging. | |
| Feelings on Napster? We don't "buy" properties like recordings or software unless our name is Gates, Verve, etc. In most cases a record company, software developer or individual retains the actual rights of ownership. What we pay for is the right to use a property wit... | |
| PSB Gold , NHT 3.3, Paradigm 100 V2? A speaker comparable in price, to the Gold i is the Hales Revelation Three. I found they image better and are a little less bright than the Gold i. Definitely worth an audition. Vandersteen has some models straddling the Hales in price that are de... | |
| Optimum speaker placement Here are some links that may be of interest: http://www.halesdesigngroup.com/quickstart.html http://www.stereophile.com/fullarchives.cgi?171 http://www.cardas.com/insights/roomsetup.html . Good luck! | |
| How, all this obsession started Though both came long after my love affair with music began, two events were key in nurturing my interest in "proper equipment". The first was taking a job selling stereo equipment. Talk about a kid in a candy store. It was here that I first learn... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Though what Slawney wrote is likely the best path (choice words, sir), my opinions, as usual, get the better of me. Though making such a list on short notice means possibly leaving out some deserving soul, there's Albertporter for his demeanor, kn... | |
| Best speakers for 2500....thump included Having listened to the Hales for several hundreds hours, after running the various warble tones, the MATT test, etc. in my living room with them, I have to disagree with Rayhall. The Hales Revelation Three is more than capable of reaching 30hz (an... | |
| Jazz "samplers" There's a series of samplers done here in the SF Bay Area by one of the local contemporary jazz stations, KKSF. They're distributed by Tower Records locally. The artists that donate their work include the likes of Dave Koz, Boney James, Rick Braun... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Carl, I asked a question, you said "No", that should have been end of the discussion. I didn't pursue it and you didn't mess up anything, so let's let it go at that. Logical enough conclusion? Good! | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! David99, What did you expect in a response to such an insulting post, a fricking love letter? Believe me all things considered, my response was damned cordial. BTW, that "white rap, boy" comment was unnecessary. I can't stand rap. But enough off t... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Having come to the logical conclusion that I'm one of those "15 year-olds" that asked Carl to describe his system, here's the response you requested, David99. "Having read numerous interesting submissions to this board by Carl_eber, but with no re... | |
| Is no reserve really the truth? My thanks to the Audiogon staff for responding as well. Your interest and support are what allow this site to remain the premiere audio market on the Internet and it is appreciated. OTOH, I agree with Sdcampbell that hidden reserves serve no posit... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Before sharing the contents of my system, pedestrian as it may seem to some, I'd like to add support for the notion that this isn't about "mine's bigger than yours". The real issue is whether one's system delivers the intended levels of enjoyment,... | |
| Is no reserve really the truth? Interesting observation, sdcampbell, as I am confident that happened to me at least once before. Unfortunately, I didn't keep a copy of the Web page, so am unable to substantiate it. As it turned out, lucky for me someone else won the auction in q... | |
| DAC or CD Player What do you have now and how much do you want to spend? Knowing what's in the rest of the system would be useful info, too. |
