| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? The guys in the "white van" selling those crummy scam speakers. I bought a pair in college and spent the next 10 years trying to improve their sound - re-inforced the cabinets, changed the drivers, added cross bracing, even found a pair of heil AM... | |
| recommendation for best $1500 speakers? The absolute best $1500 speaker is a used $4000 speaker if you can find such a deal. I'm running Joseph Audio rm22si's that retail for $2600 - bought here for under $1000.I was looking at Revel F12's and Triangle before I found a super deal on the... | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? Rather than GO loud I think you should pay attention to "sound good loud". A lot of speakers change their response curves at different volumes - will sound flat at low volume - and screechy, harsh or compressed at high volumes - so there is only a... | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? What, you think audiophiles are too smart to blow speakers?hmmmm...too smart... these are the folks that will spend $3000 on interconnects... or will write on their CDs with green pens to realign the bits .... I once blew about 8 drivers in one da... | |
| what digital cables for my dac? Apogee WydeEye is sounding great with my DAC - I beleive it to be a bargain perhaps because it is a "professional" product - available primarily from music studio places as opposed to high end places - about 40-50 bucks. some people cannot get the... | |

| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? Some of us - like myself simply won't buy Monster products at all because we object to the company's business practices. Monster seems to spend way more time and money on suing over trademark infringement then they do on developing good products "... | |
| DIY Interconnects review Thanks for a great thread. I have recently made a couple of skinny magnet-wire cables - 4 parallel conductors of 30 AWG radioshack wire sandwiched inside packing tape!- sounds pretty good to me - but then I've changed so many things lately its har... | |
| David Sanborn's "Night Music" Luv the show. I caught a really groovy old B+W clip of Slim Gaillard doing "Dunkin' Bagels in the Coffee" and really trippy guy named Christian Marclay who plays about 5 turntables simultaneously and spins old broken records (he's now a pretty big... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Hoopster,My favorite Bill Evans discs are Waltz for Debbie, Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Symbiosis (which is nothing like the other two - its a large scale orchestral thing.) Serious jazz fans may end up with 15-20 evans discs - there are ju... | |
| Starting a high-end audio shop... Am I crazy? Thank you all for your comments (and keep them coming if you have more to add).I think high end is another business where the internet will continue to move ahead of brick and mortar - so starting online would be key - a retail store may or may no... | |
| Starting a high-end audio shop... Am I crazy? Sdcambell,I'm familiar with the 2-3 high end guys in town and bought from them but not sure I would want to approach them. I really need to start online and would love to find someone online who would not be threatened my presence, like the local ... | |
| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles I was there all day Friday and Saturday.Thought the MBLs were amazing - very tizzy on the pop recording but an amazing sense of being right there at a live event on the orch tracks.Since I'm a Joseph Audio owner I spent a lot of time in that room ... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value I also heard the Wilson demo at the HE 2006 show yesterday and it was fantastic - I give Dave Wilson a lot of credit for all he has acheived. Sure, he has succesfully turned his line into a "status symbol" with a great reputation for quality and s... |
