| What is an Audiophile? Someone who spends more time on Audiogon.com, Audioasylum.com, Audiocircle.com, etc. than actually listening to their system. That would be me. Hope my boss doesn't find out about this habit, er, I mean, hobby. | |

| The subjectivity of speaker quality Sorry Marakanetz. I was having a bad day and it was a brief moment of insanity, not to mention embarrasing. | |
| The subjectivity of speaker quality Every ear has a unique sonic signature. Some ears are more musical than others. Ears that have a bell shaped cavity are said to be "tubed" whereas narrow cavities are of a solid state nature. Ears that stick out are described as dipolar, whereas f... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Verses". This was my first PB album and I was blown away even after many repeated listens. Its not easy to write good lyrics and slip in references that only a philosophy student (Phil. 101, of course) would rec... | |
| speaker cable suggestion for Magnepans The Paul Speltz Anti-Cables seem to be all the rage at the moment with Maggie users. Supposedly very neutral, transparent and not very expensive. I have taken a slightly different approach with my 3.6s. I have found that warm and musical component... | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners All the suggestions above are great, but you should also check out her live album, "Miles of Ailses". Good song selection for the period and a great band to boot. | |
| Power cords with bass emphasis Are you looking for "ubermensch" bass or bass that is beyond good and evil. Or, perhaps, you are just looking for the eternal recurrence of the same bass. Sorry, I just had to post as I loved your moniker name: nietzsche lover. | |
| CD-player for $1100 - Can I do any better? Oops. I didn't post it correctly. I was suggesting you consider the Tjoeb CD player. I'm currently breaking in the upsampler and starting to enjoy the player even more. | |

| Best tube amp s for magnepan 3.6r You should do a search on the archives at the Planar Asylum on Audioasylum as the topic as been discussed many times, I have not heard the Wolcott, but from everything I know, it should work quite well. A friend of mine runs his IIIAs with VTL-125... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced tube preamp I just got an Ultra 4A and its wonderful. Very full bodied, warm and detailed. In word--musical. Here's a link to a review: http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/mad4multra_e.htmlI've heard the Octal 6 is great, but have not heard it myself. The Mapletre... | |
| Zappa? I can't say I'm a Zappa fan. I'm more like a Zappa enthusiast; I appreciate and enjoy his work, but don't have a craving to own everything he has recorded. I just recently discovered Yellow Shark. Its Mr. Frank's contribution to his "classical mus... | |
| Review of IMac Front Row software Pardales: How do you know that or should I ask, how did you do that? My understanding is that the music that can be bought through the iTunes music store is encoded in MPEG-4 AAC, a "near CD quality". This information comes from Apples' own litera... | |
| Review of IMac Front Row software Davidz: Its only the downloading through Apple's Music store I was referring to. The iTunes software for burning a CD is fine. Using lossless, WAV or AIFF is fine. But, ITunes music store only lets you download music in one format and its not near... |
