| We are normal unlike the rest eh??? ha ha after seeing that film i want to toss my VPI Aries out on the junk pile! If i'm getting this right, these audiophiles are more passionate about the ideal record player than anything else. i'm waiting for Part-II- Digital Reproduction...?i feel som... | |
| Do you prefer being "transported' to the event... i always wanted to attend pipe-organ performances at the great cathedrals around the world. the church is an integral part of the awesome sound i would give (alot) to hear. but of course this is somewhat impractical. when i upgraded my eggleston a... | |
| How Much Is Too Much? i forgot to mention one other thing- in addition to enjoying full sized systems AND compact-monitor systems (both in equal measure- i hope it's understood that my main system speakers weigh over 500lbs each), it may be purely psychological in my c... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... there are alot of amplifiers that sound incredible for $5000.if you take into account the used market, that becomes "a whole lot of amplifiers". as for $20k and above, that usually (okay, they could be hand-built of course) buys you more watts and... | |
| What's your greatest purchase... FOR ME, it was something i acquired for free- an extensive continuing education on audio as well as what people enjoy listening to. i especially enjoy the pictures which help to answer alot of my questions (as well as raise others). lately i have ... | |
| Esotar T-330D Tweeter their may be more than one version of the t-330d but to my knowledge YES, this is the same tweeter. it might be prudent to get a pair from the same lot if possible. | |
| A simple request---Please pack audio gear well. awhile back i bought an equipment rack with a beautiful (but very heavy) corian top. the seller had fedex come over to his home to pack the item up, but they simply dumped a huge amount of peanuts (which filled up 2/3) of a huge box and put the co... | |

| Best MONITORS availables WHY PRE-DEFINE what "BEST" means? #1-everyone would agree that small speakers are not going to produce real bass below 30Hz, and perhaps not even 40Hz. so without a sub-woofer, you're limited, from a strictly SOTA perspective, from properly reprod... | |
| Help me buy a magical pre-amp that doesn't exist rowland consonance with mc/mm phono (very good sounding/very quiet even with my vpi aries/benz M-0.9)- $900-$1500 used, depending on condition, etc. silver or black.no balanced inputs, but has balanced out's. superb sound,superb remote, built like... | |
| Best Value Speaker Model for the Buck? i get a little tired of bringing up my 1st really good speaker purchase- ADS L-810/2's. walnut cabinets with dark-stained corner inserts. a dedicated pair of black lean-back stands with generous rubber pads to protect the speaker finish. free spea... | |
| The best mini monitors you have heard? b&w silver signatures sounded really spectacular years ago when i heard them, with exceptional speed and imaging. plus i liked the overall balance without straining to reproduce the lowest octave of bass, which would have screwed up the lack o... | |
| Record wear buy some good record sleeves. the record player isn't going to damage your records as much as not buying a decent record rack and re-sleeving the records that come in ultra-cheap paper. outer sleeves are not expensive either, and preventrecords fr... | |
| One's trash is someone else's treasure guys guys guys!! y'know, the salvation army is always looking for a few good men... you call them up and give away some of the excess stuff you've been accumulating (i know i have plenty of items stacked up in my closets). i gave away quite a few ... | |
| Levinson 23.5 vs. 331 amplifiers - warm vs. cool? the 23.5 gets very hot period, whether you're playing music or not, so it definitely needs adequate ventilation. no way i would keep it on all the time, but you could leave it on when you're going to be home for awhile. imagine how hot the 20.6 (p... |
