| What do you look for in a pair of speakers? revision of my previous comment- they're $89,500.00whew, that's alot cheaper...! | |
| What do you look for in a pair of speakers? they simply disappear from the room they're in. except when you go over to inspect their flawless fit and finish...i like the reviews of the new #2 rockport speaker for example-only $98K. in my dreams... | |
| Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES as an owner of the andra-2's, and having heard even better sound (albeit from MUCH more expensive speakers), i believe strongly in the midrange update. the original mid's could be and are used as woofers as well as midrange drivers, so something b... | |
| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? there are alot of luthiers out there that can make a guitarany way you like for about 1.5X the price of a martin or a taylor (blanchard, applegate, ryan's). as for electrics, a mcnaught is as nice (or nicer) than a PRS for about the same money. or... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? i wish i was more knowlegeable about business models but i'm not. but the ONE thing i believe is that you need to find out what kind of loudspeakers the customer wants (size, style, how much air they want to "push", and how much refinement they ar... | |
| In Whose Ears Do You Trust Most? anyone who grew up in the golden age of "mid-fi" should be pretty capable, providing they listen to a broad range of music (as in "beyond rock and roll") to understand what "balanced sound" is. whether it was JBL century speakers or Advents (for m... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre i can literally guarantee one thing regarding this new preamp.the system you insert it into will have to resolve extremely fine detail, as in speakers that take no prisoners through the midrange, not to mention other components and some really dec... | |
| If money is not a problem getting back to "speakers", many years ago i heard a superb recording of "carmina burana" (the original early music) on harmonia mundi playing on watt/puppy 3/2's. the voices floated around the room with a purity and a "there-ness" i'd never heard... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre i take it all back! that is to say, i will wait for a Criterion to appear on audiogon for 33% (or more?) off- some flavor-of-the-month guy will want to try tubes- and then, THEN i will POUNCE, like the audiophilic demento that i am, upon the 6 mon... | |
| Adcom GFP 750: why spend more? better preamps short-out unused inputs, provide SE and BAL inputs and outputs, use much-higher quality connectors, detachable power cords, resonant-free cabinets, longer lasting and quieter switching devices... another thing is the box needs to be... | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? audio izz ? but, if you truly "grok" what's on the stereo, then that can really lift you up and out of your rut. not in a rut you say? well, good, then i speak for myself. sometimes.like what's for dinner tonite? nothing spectacular, that's for su... | |

| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre rowland gear is two things- really really excellent (tube sound without the tubes), but also, JRDG is a line of products that is in constant evolution. if you're disappointed that your very-expensive Model-8 amp has been dropped from the line, i s... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre the capri is the low man on the totem pole according to JRDG own product descriptions. the synergy was the std. preamp after the coherence "mysteriously" stopped being made (frankly my guess is that there was very little interest in the product). ... |
