| How to audition speakers? Ahh, Brosenbe NOW you've initiated a very good thread! All the previous posts are excellent. You need to be aware of and note the associated equipment because they will affect the sound of the speakers you're auditioning. Also, to be very honest w... | |
| Describe The Listening Room of Your Dreams... I visualize my dream room being a musical, literary and artistic escape. Interior structure, colors and spacing may be a combination of early modernism and Spanish/Mexican design.The other possible scenario is building solid wood bookcasing/shelvi... | |
| Cable Comparison-Stage 1 Fpeel, we did compare the two lengths of D60 without the Meridien in the chain, and found the longer [one meter] length to be smoother, more relaxed and fuller. These differences were slight, but definitely noticeable. I can't comment on the imagi... | |
| Cable Comparison-Stage 1 Wow, I finally found my way here. I was in Cabo for the Labor Day Weekend so I missed all the posting over the weekend and I guess I was still in fish head mode so I was swimming around a hook [and not biting] that a troller left in a couple of ot... | |
| Lovan equipment and speaker stand owners... I have a pair of Lovan Imperial 2900 speakers stands that I really like. They are 29" tall and filled with steel shot, which made them very heavy and deadened any resonances. When I tap on it, it thuds, sounds more like a rock than metal. The prev... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Dorkbrains is a first class Ebayer! AAA+++ | |
| Where does your user name come from? Ahh, The Groove Tube...Brown 25...It has the strength of steel, the flexibility of rubber and the nutritional value of beef stew. Brown 25...from UrAnus. | |
| Family cable shootout Sounds like a great test and a fun time. I definitely agree that non-audiophiles can have some pretty astute perceptions, and some creative and enlightning ways of describing what they hear. | |
| Where does your user name come from? My name Gunbei, pronounced [Goom-Bay] is based on a ficticious samurai character from the early '70's Sword of Vengeance series. Some of you may know these films as Wolf and Cub or Baby cart or even by it's Japanese name Kozure Ohkami [Lone Wolf w... | |
| Family cable shootout I did a similar but slightly more haphazard shoot out over a six hour period last weekend with Audiogon member Viggen. He'll be continuing the testing for another few weeks, then will post his thoughts.Trelja, was anyone else besides you and your ... | |
| How long of a wait Damn, patience dude! People have lives you know, they don't camp by the computer all day. Huh? OK, maybe some people do. Seriously, I know how it can be when you see something you gotta have, but don't hear back right away, it's happened to me a l... | |
| Synergism The advice of ONLY matching your rig to another MF component is a bit simplistic, if that were the case most Audiogoners would have matching gear. Definitely audition what you can, but also don't discount what other A'Goners have said about the pi... | |
| Audio as a hobby Bufus, did you happen to hear the results from the latest Pride event in Japan August 28th? It had a mixture of Pride and K1 kickboxing rules, some brutal knockouts. The pay-per-view for this event is scheduled to premier this weekend Sept. 1st, I... | |
| Audio as a hobby The only other things I can think of that I go crazy over just as much as audio  is computer graphics, but that's how I make my living, so I don't know if that counts, and mixed martial arts [like Ultimate Fighting Championship, etc..] but I nev... | |
| Suggestions for a DAC Hello, I think a good place to start looking is with the Bel Canto DAC 1 and 1.1, which can be found on Audiogon for $400-$600 used. I enjoyed a DAC 1.1 for 9 months and only improved on it by upgrading to a unit that cost much more.It has a detai... |
