| Solid state; when would you use tubes? Any thoughts on how to make an integrated system more "musical" to use a crappy audiophile word?I think you'll probably need to get more specific with your question (which integrated amp are you using? what is the rest of the system? what is it yo... | |
| Solid state; when would you use tubes? Hey Jax2 - you riding a Multistrada? Or a GS? I'm thinking about buying the Multi.Biomimetic - I ride an R1150GS. I ride off the pavement enough that the advantages are significant over the Duck, not to mention I enjoy servicing my own bike and, i... | |
| Solid state; when would you use tubes? Just a quick addendum on the absurd notion of letting the more limited selections of speakers dictate the type of system you choose: I would no more let the fact that there are only a few types of performance tires available for my large dual-spor... | |
| Solid state; when would you use tubes? If you can, go out and visit some local audio junkies who have various types of systems, or nearby dealers where you can listen, and see if you can get a sense of what YOU might like. Bring your own music to listen to. As you may already have glea... | |
| I'm Looking For the Best Since you don't have much time, buy tickets once a day to go out and hear live music...you can bring your ipod...don't know if they'll have a place for you to plug it in though...I doubt you'll want to if the music's any good. Veils'll be lifted a... | |
| HOUSEBOAT SYSTEM If your concerns are about space, why not look at the high end active speakers like those by ATC. This would eliminate the need for an amp, while maintaining a high-end sound. I've only heard a pair of their monitors, but the sound was very impres... | |
| Sub location: closet? I would not put a sub in a closet with your front end equiptment. In effect you will be subjecting your equiptment rack to some very concentrated low frequency energy (vibrations). Not to mention the distortion that also may occur in bouncing same... | |
| Thom Yorke's new CD Good to hear it lives up to Radiohead's previous work. I'll have to pick up a copy. Amazon has it for $9.99 currently. I rarely get to see music videos but among those I have seen one of theirs is of the most memorable (the song, "Just", from The ... | |
| Stand alone tweeters They do not require additional amplification; they are plug and play, having an internal high-pass filter within - you just connect them to the input binding posts of your existing speaker and they will take what they need from the signal. No dire... | |
| So...What do you listen to in your car? Mostly iPod and XM Radio (various stations). | |
| Info on H.H. Scott Stereomaster I've owned both pieces - still have the 350 tuner and love it, though don't listen to the radio much. I had a 299A...the 299 came in 3 versions (A, B & C). The 350 tuner also came in several versions (A,B,C, & D). That amp (at least the A ... | |

| what is good sound ? Tell'em bout' his Mamma!!! It's friendly banter like this that has Audiogon servin' up those complementary pipin' hot mugs of shutthefuckup. I'll take two sugars in mine please. Who's taking bets on how much longer this thread is going to remain o... | |

| Sound Quality or Convenience? I've been using a hard-drive based system for over a year now. Rarely spin actual CD's anymore and sold a big chunk of my collection that was taking up space. In contrast to Kenny's experience, in my comparison(s) of CD transport and hard-drive ba... |
