| What deserves more attention on Audiogon? i keep mentioning on occasion my Tivoli bedroom system that performs amazingly well from a musicality perspective. it is limited in how loud you can play it and also the high-frequency extension is limited somewhat (although it seems to be a posit... | |
| TRANSPARENT CABLE VALUE I certainly don't want to come off as a Transparent Cable salesman here, but one issue with their cables is that the bass can overpower certain rooms due to the acoustics, and that they suggest you have the proper damping needed to handle the low ... | |
| Isolation Platform from Timber Nation I ALSO sent two detailed letters to them asking if they could build a media rack to order (for DVD's- i have limited space for a store-bought model). i gave the number of shelves, height, width, and asked if they would be interested in manufacturi... | |
| does your system "warm up" and then sound better? I asked the question "do speakers warm up too?" a long time ago in the forums.i "preheat" my amp, preamp, & cdp for 30-45 minutes before listening just like many people do. but after listening to a cd for the hour or so of music on it, i stron... | |
| French Astree label This is probably the best way to upgrade your system: find quality labels that have high standards when it comes to recording. Archiv has been around for a long time but they have a number of Baroque recordings (Trevor Pinnock) that sound rich and... | |
| Krell fpb300/evo420e vs pass x350.5 any opinions? i personally owned a Krell FPB-300 for awhile and liked it very much. it had a VERY slightsilvery top end, BUT it did not detract from the overall clean and 3-dimensional sound. the cosmetics were nice too- simple and elegant. but a friend had Pas... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar Sp. on YOUTUBE- THANK YOU SO MUCH! i really enjoy this song, and now i know who, what, where, etc. i tried to figure out what the words were myself but gave up after a half-dozen attempts. AND apparently this is real audiophile material also. Finally this forum c... | |
| TRANSPARENT CABLE VALUE how can you justify the price? -same as designers of women's dresses that get worn to the Oscars i guess.absolutely incredible amounts of money spent for a couple of hundred dollars worth of material. and 90% of them look amazingly weird instead o... | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever with your eyes closed Ella is the greatest female singer (non-opera) of all time.she beat herself up all of her life over her weight and was often overcome with self-deprication. but, and not to hi-jack this thread, but i thought "yellow basket" w... | |
| TRANSPARENT CABLE VALUE simple answer- time spent calibrating the networks by humans. a little background- back a few years ago the transparent catalog was much simpler and easier to understand. you had std, plus, ultra, and reference as i recall. i thought from looking ... | |
| Which stands for Joseph Audio Pulsars? there are some (expensive looking) stands on a youtube video demonstrating the pulsars at an audio show. they look really solid and more elegant than sound anchors. OTOH i personally think sound anchors are an excellent choice as well, although th... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos the sound quality on Steely Dan albums is really good too, to match the super-tight performances. this new piece should be no exception. | |
| Looking for a GREAT preamp under $2000...thoughts? ROWLAND CONSUMMATE (USED). outboard power supply, bal. in/out, best metal remote control with fast/slow volume adjustments (200 steps). very tough to beat for $1800 (sometimes less). only problem is the display becomes dim after awhile- annoying b... | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever how's about Cher when she was just starting out? very exotic looking and she had a very good voice (and a lot of talent as well). Rebecca Pigeon, not in the big leagues voice wise, but also very exotic looking. | |
| MBL 101e mk II :-O just get the speakers and then pick and choose the rest of the components you would need. only make sure you can provide a room similar or just as good as the room you heard this system placed in. As for body part money, you have to go to China (o... |
