| Where does your user name come from? Mime is basically my first name in Greek,only a little mispelledSo that would make the original "yiorgos"?On topic, provenance of my user name is obvious:) | |
| When will your system be enough? The phenomenon Dweller reports seems global. I have noticed it too. | |
| Ordered Visaton B200 for open baffle. Am I alone? Nope, you;re not alone:) I tried the 200 on a 3'x4' baffle. As a "beginner's OB"... It turned out to be much more than a "beginner's" application.See how it turns out for you. Check out Linkwitz (if you haven't already). | |
| Future of this hobby? I'm afraid Mechans makes much sense -- even though I hope the future obeys to Sugar's predictions...There's a significant shift in the "reason why" behind hi-end buying decision. Before it was "better sound". Better sound doesn't seem to justify a... | |
| SACD - Dying already? Zeisels -- you;ve actually got a very good point! The lack of interest isn't due to lack of sound quality.But then how many indirect sales reps (i.e. reviewers, etc) have a goodish multichannel (or 2 channel) for that matter... | |
| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns Building up on Albert's point, I'd add my own preference for the Acapella (i.e.fcrowder's choice of spkrs)over the Avantgarde. The Acapellas sound seamless (more or less) despite differing sound sources (ion, cone + tractrix horn, multiple cones i... | |
| Extremely budget minded system for under $500.00 ? Grannyring -- a small point: the cable doesn't "sound". By linking components, it makes THESE "sound" one way or another. The same cable. As you know, it can often sound one way with one system & another way with another system.You know the dr... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 The Druid comes much closer to the performance of the Definitions than an educated guess would allowInteresting. Maybe the smaller *sounds* clean, or "faster"?The differences, such as they may be, can probably show up easily on orchestral music (c... | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? A lot is time-related and, as JD notes... the lyrics no longer strike the direct emotional chord as before, perhaps. Without the direct emotional & situational context, what's left is the music & that vibrato. That, I concur, hasn't aged v... | |
| Extremely budget minded system for under $500.00 ? Do not spend money on wire in a sub-$500 system. Spend every penny you can on the best speakers you can findI would second that suggestion. If bent on specialty wires, diy them. | |
| Are you open minded about loudspeaker designs? For years I mostly purchased electrostatic ribbon or planars but today I DIYToday, likewise.Before, a bit of everything. | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Thanks Macrojack. I had overlooked that there are 4x10" woofs per side (rather than 2). So much the better. I expected the imaging properties to be good - I just want to know if they present a pin-point/ "reductionist" image (which I doubt) or a m... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Essential, old sport, a most unfortunate misfortune in my post seems to have inopportuned you. Which, pray, are the erroneous points? The mistakes (as opposed to the errors)?BTW, if you own (or have used) Zus, can you give a quick summary of actua... | |
| Power Cords Buy high quality cord intended for industrial use, single core conductors preferably (but not necessarily). Terminate with accordingly hi industrial grade plugs. Try out. Draw conclusions.One conclusion you'll surely draw is that it's more expensi... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 These two are quite different designs. Some things to consider just by LOOKING at them:VS:The VS uses a 10" seas woof, commendably placed low down to get benefit fm floor boost and with a transmission line. There's a 7" mid in a tapered back chamb... |
