| Will the ipod be the death of the CD? Good question.Very long answer, but I won't go there. CD = digital music = music broken down into binary code or zeros and ones. You can store those same zeros and ones on any kind of hard-drive or medium that is capable of digital storage. Greate... | |
| Your top 3 comedians I'm going to stay away from the classics, as most kind of go without saying, and are probably nothing new to anyone (I like'em as much as anyone else - how could you not). I'd rather list some more contemporaries who consistently impress me when I... | |
| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet? Harvey Rosenberg....Natalie Portman could come with him...and stay behind when he leaves. That's why she won't be showing up next to your system, Albert. Marco | |
| Best I pod docking bases Check out the Monitor Audio unit on Audioadvisor.com for $149. Bypasses the iPod's crappy DAC.Monitor Audio's iDeck may be a good suggestion, but the later statement is misnformation. The Monitor Audio unit does not bypass the crappy DAC in the iP... | |
| Do audiophiles have a high divorce rate? My wife made some interesting points (married 6 years and she doesn't connect with the audio thing at all). There is a profound difference between your relationship with a static object, and a dynamic relationship with a human being. Those who are... | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? I got Al's ALK crossover for the Khorns which sounds better. I have never heard of the Crites crossover. Is that better than ALK?"Better" is entirely relative to who's making the call. I can't speak for the Khorns, as I have only had LaScalas. The... | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? PS In case I wasn't clear those mods are intended to give you more detail and resolution. They will not necessarily boost your bass response. They may alter the perceived bass response in altering the rest of the range. You could consider replacin... | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? You might also consider vertical bi-amping, keeping your Levinsons on the bass, and purchase some tube amps for your mids and highs. It would be a bit more complex to setup and balance out, but it may give you the results you want. A friend of min... | |
| Tube SET Pre to Tube SET Amp Sorry Warren - thought you were asking 'bout going to separates...didn't notice it was only a declaration. As it happens, I use Mike Sanders very affordable silver IC's to go between amp and pre. Go figure. I'm starting to sound like a shill here,... | |
| Telling Left from Right on unlabeled RCA cables Get the Sterophile Test CD which has a speaker channel orientation track. It will take you 10 seconds to fugure it.I would strongly discourage attempting to play a CD on your turntable. Unless I've completely lost touch with the advancements in te... | |
| Tube SET Pre to Tube SET Amp Second hand, and first hand experience here, Warren: Mike Sanders is going into production on his design of KT88 paralell SET mono amps. I'm not sure when they'll be available, but it should be pretty soon. A mutual friend of Mike and mine owns a ... | |
| Large room but not large budget-suggestions please If you are patient and can keep an eye on the ads here on a regular basis, I bet you could upgrade both amp and speakers and have a really nice system. I'd look for Soliloquy 5.3's (because the company is no longer in business all their speakers s... | |
| Best speaker for small 12x14 room 50 WPC tube amp While they do go nicely down to @40hz , I really don't think that they could compare to the Heritage series from Klipsh in the base department .Actually much of the Klipsch Heritage series do not go that low...I think this is a common misconceptio... | |
| How to thwart cats This Method will solve your problem on a long-term basis. You don't have to thank me. Marco | |
| Odyssey Stratos or Krell 400Xi for Usher 6381's Just want to point out, though you may already know; the Stratos is a power amp that requires a preamp or an input with some kind of variable attenuation (passive or active). I say this because the Krell you were considering is an integrated amp w... |
