Breaking into the industry
I am sorry but I can't offer you the type of job you deserve - with your degree. You deserve a high level job, and not just an entry level sale's position - but that's all I need, and my friend who needs money will come help me out. With your degr... 
Breaking into the industry
If your folks are well off, and are willing to help out, you might want to open your own shop. That is what I am doing. Working for other's don't get you far - if you want to do what is really in your heart. You can assemble the best sounding gear... 
Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier
I heard that they were both designed by the same guy - after all these years... That might make the sound similar, but I am wondering if the later has not gone down in quality. Some companies once a reputation is established, cut back on quality ...

How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Something else to consider are 2 things - 1) Room acoustics - treatments 2) Dedicated power line Without taking care of these 2 things, you may be wasting a lot of effort and money. You are not hearing the best your gears can offer. Another thin... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Cdc - I am sure you are right too - my DIY book described Q value as the spring behind a woofer - if you press on it, some feel tight, and some loose (some have more resistance) I mean by high Q, a tight strong spring. This might not be a universa...

How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I came to a conclusion that since different music sound better on different speakers, we need a few sets. We can get Niles speaker selector and switch from one to another as music demands - we will our enjoy listening more of the times, and not ge... 
Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why?
They are not as liquid as Krell - or panasonic sa-xr70 (only $370 on the web) Even Krell integrated 300 model sounds better ($1200 used) But if liquidity is not your thing, then a Mac 
Best Bookshelf/Monitor in $2000 range??
If you are handy, you can make one for less! Try a scan speak kit. You can google search for them. I am making a proac 2.5 for about $600. Kits are easier still. These places have kits. Vifa woofers are good - scan speak better still - richer and ... 
In what ways modern speakers better the old Tannoy
I have a friend who can sell me Tannoy - I already bought JBL 4412 with all alnico woofers. I thought the newer speakers were more transparent, but as Goldorak suggested, I am going to re-do the X-over and see if that improves the transparency. I... 
In what ways is Mark Levinson better than Krell?
Thanks all to the posts - voice of experience no doubt -these are valuable comments for someone like me, just getting into the liquid and transparent league of equipments the world has to offer, which I simply adore. I I will try to hear 23.5 and ... 
Best female vocals on CD
Elly Emeling - classical. Sounds like an angel herself... kind and beautiful. I like all kinds of music, but the classical musicians tend to be more refined than others - heaven knows they work at it harder than most others from youth. 
Which CDR is the best for audio?
Thanks for all the posts - I will try the Mitsui for sure. They claim it will last for 300 year, so that's better than 2 year life period of some CDRs This is an article on how to improve the CDs we buy, by reburning them on to a CDRs - an economi... 
Recommendation wanted to upgrade my NAD CDP
Might want to consider using your computer as a transport; add a decent used DAC - lower jitter. + You have your library at your finger tip.
