| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Detlof, Kat; thanks for the kind words. Cheers. Craig | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Hi Stevemj; ears are connected to brain-- brain does all interpretation (perception) of sound (see your 3/24 post). We all know this-- don't we? I choose to trust my hearing, including perception of such, and my common sense. Respectfully, you see... | |
| Music to test systems Abstract7; interesting thread. Like some have noted above, my list will change over time-- but slowly. All are CDs.1. Holly Cole "Temptation"; female vocal timbre, background noise.2. Enigma "Cross of Changes"; Bass, dynamics, PRT.3. Cowboy Junkie... | |
| Audiophile spending Kublakhan.........audiophile math! I love it! Cheers. Craig | |
| Audiophile spending Hi Abstract7; My software/hardware ratio is about like yours, ie 1/3 music (CDs) and 2/3 equipment. I now have about 1000 CDs with an estimated value of $15K-- but as I do not keep CDs I don't like, I can also add that I've probably purchased anot... | |
| You wouldn t believe it s good, but... Not out of the mainstream, but I only recently discovered Holly Cole's music. I especially like her CD "Temptation". On some tracks there is a very haunting, and smokey quality to her voice, and accompaniemt is spare, so her voice stands out. I wo... | |
| Proac 3.8 Owners Avguy; this may be a really strange reason (excuse?) to change speakers, but we've got a year old cat that is a real hell raiser and she won't leave either my Vand. 2CEs (now covered w/ tinfoil), or my 3As alone (now surrounded w/ chicken wire-- y... | |
| Feedback on Magnum FT-11 Maybe a little late, but Woodfield summed it up well. I own the FT-11, and with the ST-2 antenna, it really is an excellent tuner-- much better sound across the board than an RD Denon. Excellent price too. Craig | |
| Good Stuff Cheap I can also recommend Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 pre-amp that can sometimes be found used for under $500.-- good features and excellent sound quality. I used one for years, and then sold it for $475. here on Agon. Craig | |
| Good Stuff Cheap I'd nominate the Syn. Res. Master Coupler at a used price of about $150 to $180. Right now I see there are a LOT of them for sale here on Agon. But what that tells me is that it is an extremely popular power cord with many "out there". I use them ... | |
| Psychological audio, proceed slowly JD; You're right about humor. I hope it never becomes unacceptable on Audiogon, and I thought your thread hilarious up to the point where you specifically mentioned Audiogon member's User Names. At that point it unfortunately became somewhat perso... | |
| Psychological audio, proceed slowly Good wires are less expensive than a good psychiatrist. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Proac 3.8 Owners Comcherry; thanks for the info. re: tilting on the 2.5s, I'll look into it further. Avguy; at least temporarily, I brought your rating back to zero for your first post here-- can't understand why you'd get negs for that? I suspect you're right, th... | |
| music you cant live without Lak.........perhaps something in the way of a high end defibrillator if you're actually going to rent the Junkies for me. That's really a generous thought-- thanks, Craig:>) | |
| music you cant live without Hi Tireguy; without a doubt it's virtually any Cowboy Junkies CD, but especially "The Caution Horses", "The Trinity Session", and lately "Waltz Across America". If I had Bill Gates' money, I would buy the "Junkies" and have them play in my den-- f... |
