| Question about set amps and low sensitivity spkrs Having owned B & W loudspeakers before with similar sensitivity and impedence, 90db/watt and 4 ohm, I can say that mine craved a good deal of power. If mine were like yours this impedence value may drop to 3.6 ohms, as it was listed in the man... | |
| Advice from vinyl types on a good CD player Like Starcon, I have a Rega Apollo, a musical player. Superficially is sounds more analog-like than many cd players- more smooth and melodic. But try as I might -and I have heard many cd players, always hoping I can make life easier- I have yet to... | |
| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules I wish there was a way I could go all vinyl and never see a digital medium or cd again. I cannot because most Live Dead releases are on cd and occasionally something else appears on cd that simply cannot be had on vinyl. But, if any of you have he... | |

| Comparing VPI Scoutmaster to Pro-ject RM10 I am not going to try to talk you out of a change as only you know what will work for you but I heard the HI-Fi+ analog demonstration at RMAF this past fall (recap in issue 55 I think, I can check for you) and heard an HRX, VPI's top of the line, ... | |
| Enjoying vinyl more than ever......... This thread is great- thanks Adam. I remember my purchase of a Rega P3/Super Elys in December of 2000. I had churned through several cd players in the years prior and had bought a Rega Planet in June of that year. The P3 was a lark for me and I th... | |
| New Naim CD5i-2 compared to original? I think he wanted to know about the new player not the one from four years ago. | |
| Suggestions needed. Speaker audition...Dallas? Too far for top notch service? | |
| Suggestions needed. Speaker audition...Dallas? Scoly1, if you are upgrading a two channel only system I would skip all of these dealers and talk to Galen Carol Audio in San Antonio. His lines are much more complete for audio only and feature the best brands that each of the Dallas dealers carr... | |
| Why is the industry so lame? I don't like the idea that trends can be identified, fixed and we can know their outcomes with certainty; to me that is a popular form of arrogance now in style. Gauging people's artistic tastes is also exceedingly difficult and some just don't wa... | |
| Why is the industry so lame? There was a video clip on Yahoo last night for the Saturday Night Live skit "Grumpy Old Man" that should still be there. He explains my thinking on this topic. | |
| The best speaker on the used market for $1000.00 Almost impossible to answer. One person will like a particular quality of a speaker while another will be bothered by it or it won't be a factor at all. Speakers are one of those rare instances in which you can listen to a string of ten pairs and ... | |
| GIRL NEWBIE Glad to have you here. I would encourage you if you are new to this that some exposure to different kinds of equipment is most important. I'd be less concerned with the distinction between new and used at this point as price seldom equates to the ... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 The Magnepan 1.6 is a bit overrated and I attribute a good deal of its popularity to its novel appearance, which looks serious in an old hi-fi way. But aside from their ample soundstage and imaging they have pretty significant sonic limitations, d... | |
| What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio The gentleman, Nrchy, is entitled to his opinion of cd players. I don't call a guy a jerk if he happens to like anchovie pizza and I don't. It's often the person doing the name calling that most resembles the accusation made. |
