| Best value speakers available Best value? I agree with Tap3sap-- and specifically Vandersteen 2Ce signature at MSRP of $1500. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Redbook CD s .......I would just add to Beemer's description that the "Redbook" CD is a 16 bit recording (as opposed to DVD-A's 24 bit at a sample rate of 96 KHZ). Cheers. Craig | |
| What s Your Frame of Reference? Kitch29 brought up a good point that I also agree with. The change (hopefully improvement) has to stand the "test of time", eg for me it has to be non-fatiguing over time. Craig | |
| Lets fight Part2 Audiogon established the rules, and the rating system to help govern conduct on their forum. I suggest you contact them about your complaints. Craig | |
| What s Your Frame of Reference? Hi hwy61; Are you trying to "unscrute the unscrutable"? I also do as Rcprince and Dekay do, ie play a broad variety of music that I am especially familiar with. For me, it's the timbre and character of vocals-- both male and female that are my ref... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? Plasmatronics; (1) you have quoted much info. that many (most?) audiophiles would consider "fighting words", or at least inflammatory, but you have not expressed YOUR views on all of what you talk about. I have expressed my opinions on some of you... | |
| One Song That Still Causes... "The Wayward Wind" sung by Gogi Grant. | |
| Too confusing ......to continue, if your are going to horizontal bi-amp, you will need four individual runs coming off each amp anyway. My advice is not to mess around with internal bi-wire cables, just get individual wires-- which is sonically better anyway. A... | |
| Too confusing Sfrounds; I don't think you can use an internal bi-wire cable for bi-amping-- unless it has four individual leads on each end that are clearly marked, and even then, it would not be ideal. As you know, in a bi-amp system, each channel of a stereo ... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? Plasma; I just spent some time in the high-endaudio.com website. It impressed me as being just one audiophile's opinions and rhetoric-- no more, no less. My own opinions are more valuable to me than his, and that's the way it should be. Cheers. Cr... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? .......re "the gold rush syndrome". A statement like that in a EE mag. probably makes for interesting (but very misguided) reading for the intended audience, but is just so much establishment BS, IMO.While it's true good magazine reviews can be a ... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? Plasmatronic; I am nuts too-- and obsessive about this hobby. I'm also much more able, than the quoted EE, to select good sounding hifi gear, IMO. It's obvious that the EE that wrote the article you quote has not taken the time, spent the money, o... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Dburdick; your DNA-0.5 went to a good home and may see some up-grading one of these days, and as I've got a 2nd one-- maybe monos. Cheers. Craig | |
| Bi-Wire or Double Run of Single Wire ??? I agree with Dekay. It doesn't matter-- just be sure you get good contact and tight (not over tight) connections. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money McCormack DNA-0.5 amp and Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 pre-amp-- both used of course. |
