| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? I agree with jafant above. The Anthem STR series of integrated amps is two channel nirvana. I am about to upgrade to one, after owning one of their Integrated 225's. The only thing I don't like about it is that they are made in Canada instead of t... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I don't think that anyone has mentioned Karen Carpenter here. :>) | |
| Budget American made speakers? I am very happy with my Paradigm A2 Shift self powered speakers. You can plug them into virtually any electronically generated device from a guitar to an iPod, to a smart phone and get great sound. I have them connected to my PC via an Essence DAC... | |
| Done buying new vinyl I'd send them back if I were you. If you aren't happy with the quality, then by all means return them for a refund. I am not a fan of vinyl, especially the new vinyl of today. | |
| Ray Thomas has Passed The sad thing about the passing of Ray Thomas is that the Moodies were going to be inducted in the Rock Hall of Fame in the next entry class. I have been cursing the HoF for years for their failure to honor such a great band, while enshrining far ... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com How about the Bowers & Wilkins - CM10 S2 Triple 6-1/2" 3-Way Floor Standing Speaker? Featuring triple 6-1/2" bass cones, a 6" midrange cone and a 1" tweeter, this Bowers & Wilkins CM10 S2 Rosenut floorstanding speaker fills a large room w... | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members You can't take this personally, as you too were a newbie once upon a time. Newbies need time to learn the value of quality, as they've been buying at Best Buy, Amazon and other lower echelon retailers. Just ignore the offer with a smile and allow... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? I think that the amount of internet savings plays a big role in making your decision who to purchase from. If the brick & mortar store is a considerable amount more, then this should ease your conscience about buying online. Tell them the onli... | |
| What is it that you don't like about your speakers ? I am very satisfied with my Paradigm Studio 100 Reference speakers, but they aren't Paradigm Concept 4F's. Would love to have a pair but at $40K for a pair, I doubt that will happen. Unless of course, I win the lottery. | |
| Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you? Dear Santa, I've been a very good boy this year. I'd like a pair of Paradigm Concept 4F beside my Christmas tree this year. If you aren't familiar with them, have the elves read this review from Audioholics:http://www.audioholics.com/tower-speake... | |
| Can't we all just get along? Several great points made on this thread. We are here to help each other with advice and comments on audio. If someone posts a derogatory comment about a member, just pull the post. If the same member makes a habbit of it, banish them from the com... | |
| Looking for a good DAC under $500 The HDACC by Essence is the digital nerve center for modern audio systems, actually three products in one; a Digital Pre-amp with its own volume control, a 24/192K DAC for use with your legacy analog preamp or receiver, & the best headphone am... | |
| Why do turntables sound different? Most turntables from medium to high end have a vibration suppression system built into the unit. What I see as being the ultimate difference in turntable sound is the cartridge you select. The cartridge actually reads the vinyl and transmits sound... | |
| Seller suspended from Audiogon... God rest their souls. | |
| Paradigm speakers Speakers are a very personal topic. Asking others for their opinion really doesn't tell you much. I enjoy the crystal clear highs and brilliant mid-range of my Paradigm Studio 100 Reference speakers. They give amazing presence to acoustic music, ... |
