| As Varied as the Audiophiles Themselves... Fabulous hobby is right!Being heavy into car audio myself in the '70s and '80s, I can relate to your friend's priorites regarding BOOM, BOOM bass. That extended into my HT phase in the mid '90s, and has become a small venue magical musical experie... | |
| contradictory communication Personally, I don't think it's very important to come to some kind of concensus regarding audio descriptives. Despite the disparate interpretations of audio jargon I've rarely been surprised when buying equipment on Audiogon based on the discussio... | |
| Best One Country System? I don't think Martykl felt Canada was properly represented by either Classé or Bryston, heheh. | |
| DK Design Review "Just because it is expensive doesn't mean it can't be a good value".Very true. We all define "good value" differently. | |
| The best power conditioner for less than $1K? "I think the SS rotel and denon going into the revealing Proac's via the silver cables is the issue."I'm with Dan on this one. I never did like an all solid state configuration ahead of my ProAcs. While the bass was tawt, the treble was bright and... | |
| contradictory communication Let's see, was Mrtennis using green power bait or nightcrawlers? | |
| DK Design Review Stepping back a bit, it's funny to read that a piece of electronics that costs $9000 is a "good Value". Try convincing some poor college kid surviving on Cup-O-Noodlles of that. But then again that's what this hobby does to us. Along with heighten... | |

| Exact Audio Copy Questions After reading about those two cases of chimps attacking and mutilating people, I'd be afraid to use anything called monkey. | |
| contradictory communication Transparency and neutrality to me are like describing Gwyneth Paltrow. She's got a cute face, but the rest of her is featureless. Sure you can see everything, but so what! Warmth to me is curvy and fiery like Sophia Loren. Gwyneth may have more de... | |
| Audio Mags/A believer or skeptic? Over the years, I've lost interest in stereo mags like Absolute Sound and Stereophile. I enjoyed home stereo, car audio and home theater mags during the '70s, '80s and until the mid-'90s, but these days I find stereo mag reviews to be kinda vanill... | |
| Audiophile Electrocution I got an ass whoopin' once for trying to play a pizza on my Dad's console record player. | |
| Are there any fans of Dewey and Gerry out there? I love their ice cream. | |
| DK Design Review Well, I think Mark has made a very good and balanced summary of the whole DK matter and even hobbyists in general. Definitely a first for a DK owner/promoter new to Audiogon. I know his post won't settle the issue, but it makes me feel a whole lot... |
