Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Actually, that is a good point Jiwitn, I wouldn't match B&Ws with tube gear either. In my opinion, they are built around different philosophies and tastes.Everytime I've heard B&Ws, I felt they were too analytical and lost interest quite q... 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Well..where are the other 92.7333333333% of audiophiles out there that have yet to post in here so we can look better than them lawyers?I am immature and I am underdeveloped. And I have such an incredible build up of ear wax that if one looked clo... 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Hey Mejames, Marco and me ain't heated. We're just glad we have a new victim to experiment on! LOL! 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Thanks for giving me the green light Marco!!I'll go fire up the Uncle Fester dungeon while you clean off the cobwebs in Grandpa Munsters' laboratory!While I'm at it, I'll dig up Uncle Fester's funnel barrel shotgun and shoot 'm in the back!!Jiwitn... 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
"Inferior equipment"? You sound like the Borg [not the tennis player].This hobby is about enjoying music, therefore the importance of "accuracy" isn't necessarily THE primary attribute an audiophile seeks to attain, but just one of the MANY.Krell?... 
How many audiophiles bi wire their speakers????
Ditto, Dogeatpuppy. Sort of...Whether I biwire or use single runs of speaker cable depends on the cables I'm using, the music I'm playing and the mood I'm in.With girls, I like 'em olive, earthy and curvy. 
Best Cheap acoustic wall treatments?
I have some non-foamy suggestions.How about curtains? Maybe not along the entire wall, but in certain key areas like first reflections and so on, possibly to suggest windows that are non-existent.If you eventually put up shelving for your media th... 
Is anyone using REL subwoofers with BAT tubed amp?
Since you've already tried connecting the subs to a different amp, were both hooked to the speaker terminals on the BAT amp using the Neutrik cable supplied with the RELs? Is this how they were connected to the McIntosh amp? 
Favorite Performances of Russian Compositions
I ain't that young so I MUST be a newbie, heheh. Maybe I should say that I've always loved classical music but I don't know a lot about it.Outstanding, keep the recommendations coming! 
Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo
Any solo performed by native New Orleans guitarist Robby Longley. A great blend of modern guitar with Flamenco, and New Orleans gumbo.I also like Jeff Beck's performances on There And Back, but my favorite is "The Final Peace".I'll go along with D... 
Insight w/ kora hermes 24/192 DAC?
I've owned the last 24/192 version I with the Auricaps and Jenalabs prior to the introduction of the Hermes II for almost two years and really like it. I prefer it greatly over the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 I used before it because of its more natural pre... 
What will you be playing to celebrate?
Mghcanuck, you gotta love those 50 cal. rifles similar to the Barrett 82A1 a lot of the sniper platoons seem to be using these days. I saw an ad for the bolt action version that claimed accuracy out to 2000 meters. That's pretty close to Gunnery S... 
What will you be playing to celebrate?
Bravo, Treyhoss and Mghcanuck! It never ceases to amaze me how complicated, yet at the same time how simple affairs like these are.I agree as a whole and without the advantage of knowing the alternate outcome [if we had done nothing] that it was a... 
What will you be playing to celebrate?
I was afraid that I may have gotten too overzealous with my initial comments in this thread. It's great to hear such wise words from you guys.One thing that still erks me to this day is the policy of silence the Japanese government uses when confr... 
What will you be playing to celebrate?
Slappy, that's exactly how my Dad looks at it.It would be hard for many Americans to believe anyone could have such a viewpoint, especially the way we're taught history in school, but there is another side to WWII.As an American of Japanese decent...
