| Am I in the minority? .... I don't even own a CD player anymore. Computers are better than just about every CD player under $3000, even then it is a tossup. As always it is about implementation with all the different types of media. But a computer (I like apple for aud... | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End Suteetat,Thanks for the detailed response that is what I was looking for. | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio Mapman, Glad you found a solution. I have actually heard the Klipsch S4 too. In there price range they hold their own. They have one of the better fits on the market too. The comparable priced Ultimate Ears are pretty tipped up in the bass for the... | |
| Which speakers... B&W 802D or Vandersteen 5A's? Background:I have compared the Paradigm S8 and B&W 802D (last model not the diamond, but I have also demoed the diamond) with in a few days of each other. I heard the S8 on a $30 Krell front end and a cheapy Arcam set up. I also demoed the Foc... | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End Suteetat,How do the mids on the Ushers and Magicos compare? | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio Mapman, You may also want to look at the Denon AH-D2000. They are only 25 ohms and pretty efficient. But like all headphones a real amp would improve the sound (more dynamic, better bass) but you may have luck straight out of your Squeezebox. I ha... | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio Mapman, Did you give up on IEM at this point? I have heard the B&W P5 headphones at the Apple store off of an iphone (mine with losses files). So take my comments with a grain of salt. They were built very nice but I found them pretty uneventf... | |
| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? "Maybe it's an issue of "you can't handle the truth!" I have to agree with the earlier post. I have had the DAC1-HDR in my system for over a year now and still like it's clean dynamic sound. | |
| Cat-proofing your speakers... I have two cats (and dogs) and none of them have ever messed with the speakers. I have several cat scratching post that I rub catnip all over. Just give them a place to scratch and you will be fine.Spray them with water when they get close to the ... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Richard,Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Thiel support. I had a driver damaged (dented from the dealer's show room) on my CS2.4 and I called Thiel and got right though. I had a new driver in 3 days. The driver was $200 including shipping. | |
| B&W 803D or 804D with ML 335 The 804 does not have enough bass for my tastes. Are you buying new? If you are you should add a used pair of 802D to your list. | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio What is your budget?I have owned MANY pair of headphones (started out with headphones moved onto speakers) and they all differ a little but if you pick a top model from a well know brand (Sennheiser, AKG, Dennon, Ultra Zone, Ultimate Ears, Beyerdy... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Dserota17,In what way did you think the Sony SS-AR1 was better than the Dynaudio temptations? | |
| Thiel 3.7 Rgs92,TAS, was knocking the recordings not directly knocking the speaker. But there is truth to the review. They are very reveling and can be fatiguing if your recordings are not up to pare. But and it is a big but, if the recording quality is the... | |
| Compairson ground rules....should we have them? Kiwi, I agree with your last post and want to add some food for thought, context. Context is very important, take a good pair of speakers with "great" bass output and add a sub. Turn the sub WAY up (like your 16) and listen to a few songs. After a... |
