| Which Quicksilver to buy Hey Jordi - Man, I've had more than one offer on those jewels. Everyone whose listened to them at length has asked where they can get a pair. Damn shame that Mike decided not to build SET amps. I just don't get it. I think you may be right that he... | |
| Best Song or AlbumTitles? Jim White's got a few funny titles. Great music too. This latest is titled:Dig a Hole in that Substrate and Tell Me What You SeePrior releases include:Wrong-eyed Jesus and No Such Place (the latter is my favorite of his)Marco | |
| System building -budget $15,000 Those are all very nice components and well chosen for a 2-channel sound system for music. I'm not familiar with the specific speakers you chose though, and therefore would likely go with something I've had more experience with. Speakers should be... | |
| m-audio firewire 410 sound quality? Are you running the digital signal through the same DAC as the rest of your system? Does the M-audio card process that digital signal in any way? I suppose jitter could be a potential problem. Regarding alternatives: It depends on how much you are... | |
| Tally up which speaker gets the most votes as best My choice is rather esoteric, and I'm not actually sure of the manufacturer of the driver itself, but it's the speaker that came stock in a 1972 Plymoth Valiant. These were mono speakers so you'll need two of them. Talk about your magic midrange! ... | |
| What Happens When You Die? I'm sure I'd appreciate your gear far more than any of your relatives, so just leave it to me. I'll take care of the tunes too. No need to rent a storage shack and burden your relatives with the monthly rental fee. If you insist I'll still store t... | |
| Sound Insulation- how much can it help? Possible solutions:1. Get your neighbors to move out and take over their apartment: Watch the movie, "Pacific Heights" for some pointers to that end.2. Perhaps Jeffrey Dahmer's spree started like this. Have you got a big freezer? You'll also need ... | |
| Listening room ceiling type? Hey Tom - I've just gone through a renovation and did research some of this stuff, though I did not end up putting my listening room in the basement as I thought I might. Anyway, the best approach if you have a ceiling that low, and this is a seco... | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) "Resin-infused Cherry"?!?! Isn't that just a fancy way of saying "plastic wood"? | |
| Best Cd Player under $100,000 I guess your bank is more generous than my bank. Not only would a $100,000 CD player break my bank, but my wife would divorce me and friends and family would likely have me committed! Now if you're talking $90K I could probably eek by! They'd stil... | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) The green man said:I liked that it looks like a recently washed ashore piece of driftwood. Funky!On a general note I DO like the way some components looked in the late '60s to early '70s with the chassis surrounded by a walnut case.See, now that's... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? If given the choice, I'd really rather not pee in my pants, either at home, or in a public venue. Is there a way to have a great system and avoid this? I have, thus far, managed not to pee in my pants when listening to any of the gear I've owned..... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? Tonyptony - Hope you've tossed your underwear after that concert. Those stains are hard to get out. Good post. One point I'd differ on: I don't think all of us are necessarily interested in the hyper-detail you describe. It may actually may bother... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? For the folks who still may have leanings towards a reliance upon flat-earth science to dictate to them some kind of objective reality that is outside of themselves: Didn't you guys pay attention in your high school Quantum Physics class? We just ... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? This is the most anti-audiophile/high end statement I've ever read on Audiogon. If you really believe this statement, then a boombox can be equal to A. Porter's system (at least in some poor soul's mind).Thank you! Actually, I really do like Audio... |
