| Who designs casework for audio components? As someone who loves and makes a living in the art+design field I totally agree. I wish more manufacturers that charge high dollar for their gear would put a little more effort into the industrial design of their products.Obviously, Gilbert Yeung ... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? What if it's a flat platform to place a piece of audio gear on? | |
| Just a kind word of thanks This IS a great sanctuary, isn't it?Over the years I've received great personal help from many forum members, some even in this thread!I'm such a nuisance, always asking questions! | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Sean, I'll have to show you those darling baby pictures some time over a nice cup of warm milk. When Viggen was a little tyke he loved to mash his hands in his own poop. Needless to say he wasn't allowed near a remote control or allowed to adjust ... | |
| Are our own reviews tainted ? You have a good point. In the past, I've been guilty of posting glowing reviews for gear I owned. It's funny, because now that I'm more serious about this hobby and have more experience in it, I haven't posted one in years.My "reviews" these days ... | |
| Passive intergrated Amps I forgot about the Densen. Although I never had the chance to hear one, I always thought they looked cool. | |
| Passive intergrated Amps RR,Someone is selling a 50wpc Gaincard on Audiogon for $1750.http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?ampstran&1065225081The Luminous Audio AXIOM passive preamp is tiny. Much smaller than a VHS video cassette. It's so small because it doesn't do ... | |
| How do tube components affect each other? Ditto, ditto, and ditto.I will add that cascading tube equipment which use different types of tubes can alter the sound in ways not limited to just warmth or the opposite.I have a tube DAC with a pair of 6922s that feed a tube preamp with two 6SN7... | |
| Passive intergrated Amps The 47 Labs Gaincard amp with built-in volume attneuator may fit the bill. Also, If you already own a power amp the Luminous Audio AXIOM passive preamp for $150 is pretty damn good. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Yes, definitely embrace it Gunnar.I think many centuries ago, Martin Luther would have made a fine audiophile. And if the day ever comes, rise up and fight against the Audio Inquisition. | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Yeah, take it from Viggen! He used to use high school yearbooks and apple crates as speaker stands. Now, look at his cool system. :) | |
| Audiophile Vs. Techfile Danlib1, wholly cow that's advanced! You're sunk pal.I can only imagine what will happen when your daughter is in her teens. If she isn't still enamored with the quality of her music it'll be frightening to think where her discriminating tastes wi... | |
| Audiophile Vs. Techfile If audiophilia is a separate gene, I need to learn how to isolate it and turn it off! | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Eldartford, right now I don't see the point in spending big bucks to purchase say, a Rix Rax, Grand Prix Audio or the like, although I did consider Zoethecus.I've decided to build a rack system that will be bolted to the studs in my wall. I bought... | |
| Audiophile Vs. Techfile Hey Slappy, that was my best Mannequin Skywalker impression. But, it's getting so damn hot in this mask I'm beginning to sweat!! Gotta take it off!I bet Star Wars sounds great on your HT system. |
