| Does you wife touch your system? Yes - she is good with gears (better than me on computers and cameras), but sadly, music never stirs the soul to bring tears to her eyes... Infact, she thinks I am a little insane for all the repeated hifi purchases. She mostly turns down the vol... | |
| Pro amps for home use? Thanks to all the posters. I like dynamic sound, so I am looking for power in my amps. I will go hunting for a Crown Xti or other ones suggested so far... | |
| How do good car amps sound? Thanks Bd - I checked out the Dayton T-amp and they sounded quite good. I have to see if I can hear gainclone ones - which ones better? Also thank you Tm for your informative voice of experience... I will be using a power supply. | |
| VON SCHWEIKERT VR-1 OR PARADIGM STUDIO 20 V3 I am listening to the Studio towers with McIntosh gears, and, they sound good to me - liquid and transparent... You know about all the good professional reviews they received, right? I too would keep them. Sure there are better speakers out there,... | |
| VON SCHWEIKERT VR-1 OR PARADIGM STUDIO 20 V3 When you do upgrade, make sure it is a definite one, and not a side ways move. If you buy them used here on the audiogon or other places like the ebay, then you could resell them and not lose too much $ (incase it doesn't turn out to be a true upg... | |
| Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used I agree with the above poster - the system has to be balanced in quality. I am listening to Paradigm Studio and enjoying it - you could go with the model 20 - you can pick them up for >$500 used here or ebay. That would leave you with enough ... | |
| Is it worth buying a headphone amp? I hope you also have loud speakers as well. You know about the dangers of extended headphone listening doctors are warning us about... I find that with the better rich quality sound of a tube headphone amp allows me to enjoy at a lower volume, whi... | |
| Want your thoughts before making a big decision I wouldn't part with Martins but keep both pairs, and take turns listening to them - some music sound better on one speakers, and some on the other. If you have many sets of speakers, that could cure your upgrade bug - many bank accounts have been... | |
| What can I do to improve my computer? Foobar is the best playback software I know of. Also, asio4all makes the sound better, smoother like an upscale piece. Both can be downloaded for free - google search for them. | |
| Bookshelf speaker ideas.... If I were you, I would upgrade the receiver and the cd player, and spend less on used speakers - you must balance the system to get a good sound. You could get this NAD dvd receiver and buy used speakers, and you will end up with better quality s... | |

| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... That was really funny you all!Thanks for the laughters (which we all need, don't we?)...Since someone asked me to chip in, I will upload another picture proving that the 2 systems are indeed in the same room - I don't know what that accomplishes, ... | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... Sincere thanks to all those posted - especially to lengthy posters who took the effort and time to share words of experience and wisdom... They will help me and others get to the land of sonic-nirvanah. I uploaded 2 pictures here :http://s915.phot... |
