| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search I get caught up in your descriptions of the recordings that infer you listen to acoustic music to evaluate good sound, yet most of the selections are Prog Rock groups with the exception of one classical piece. Using selections that are recorded ex... | |
| Mark Levinson 333.5 vs Emotiva XPR-1 Monoblocks Dear Audiolabyrinth, in regards to Krell equipment, i guess it was that whole Fabio craze that seemed to create a bit of superficiality and "muscle-amp" promotion that Krell did not deserve but could have avoided just the same. I owned an FPB-300 ... | |
| Mark Levinson 333.5 vs Emotiva XPR-1 Monoblocks I am ALSO one of those lunkheads who think Mark Levinson gear sounds really good. Plus the poster states he had his amp updated (a 333.5 is already an updated product to begin with). I don't know what an Emotive product can or can't do, but ML can... | |
| I need a new TV I got a Panasonic plasma (warehouse deal) in November for less than $950(50 inch) ; the ST series recommended by CNET. Sure looked good watchingAvatar on Blu-Ray. Has Wi-Fi too. only drawback is you need a D/A converterto get analog-audio output. ... | |
| It's time for a new button on Audiogon unless the price is already lower than most buyers would ever expect someone to offer in the 1st place, it is "ok" to request that the seller consider knocking off 5-10% especially if you are READY to close the deal and not just on a fishing exped... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Regarding the opening sentence about M.Fremer's reviews, i have to say that Stereophile almost ALWAYS gives him the most exotic/expensive components and speakers to comment on. This in itself shows a bias that i am uncomfortable with. Are not the ... | |
| Art Audio Jota VS Audio Note Conquest all i can add is their salesmanship was 1st rate at the time. and the equipment (build quality) appeared to be really good. which seems inconsistent with the level of service some here have experienced. | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps i have a related problem with my system, in that very beautifully-recorded cd's (like some Pentatone sacds, Channel Classics, and some others) put an alarming number of OTHER cds, both redbook AND hi-rez, in a very distant 2nd category of sound qu... | |
| Art Audio Jota VS Audio Note Conquest I met the folks from Art Audio once down in S. Florida and i was very impressed with their passion and commitment to their product line. I heard an SE amp from them- i can't be sure what model- and it sounded very nice but the speakers used needed... | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps (Just kidding around), but at FIRST you expressed concern that voices sounded steely while the amps were breaking in, and NOW your concern is that due to the improvement in transparency that the amps produce, voices sound flawed due to the limitat... | |
| Egglestonworks Andra III vs Wilson Sasha ALL THIS IS FINE AND WELL, but has anyone heard the newest version of the ANDRA and what are your impressions? ? i had a pair of Andra-2's and they were fantastic speakers- 20 to 20 freq. response and incredibly realistic sound. they suffered from... | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps forgive me for being so ill-informed, but i still don't know what power-factor-correction IS, and what the benefits of having it ARE. How does it differ from schemes used in past amplifiers to "purify" the incoming electrical source? | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps This is so reminiscent of the introduction of the Model 9's so many years ago, with a choice of battery or A/C power supply boxes. The mere thought of having a pair of those huge amplifiers with the adjoining connections was enough to make most pe... | |
| Proceed PDT 3 & PDP 3 Levinson went from Proceed as its initial offerings in digital playback to "reference" grade components which were extremely expensive and massiveboxes, separating EVERYTHING from everything else inside. finally they used their knowledge to produc... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss after trying out several transistor guitar amps, some with plenty of watts available, i finally came up with the money to try a Fender Twin (all tube) amp.totally incredible difference- the woodiness of the guitar clearly revealed itself, not to m... |
