| Ok this will be a good thread. Tok20000, I get what you're saying...but still say the source is the foundation of a great system, and without one you may have a great-sounding system, but it will fall way short of a system where one, or more of the other components are compromi... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Yikes Paulwp: You must have been privileged enough to have lived your audiophile-life out having auditioned and owned only the best of CD players and amps?! I find it a difficult concept to swallow that a poor CD player or a poor amp "can't do muc... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Not sure whose arguments Muralman is referring to as "absurd", but I'll respond: The original question actually does ask the question, which single component is most important in a 2-channel system. I stand by my responses; Yes, I'd agree with you... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Sorry to be a bit acerbic, but I'm lost here; since when are your ears "PART of a good two channel system"? I'd also say the original question also takes for granted that you are listening to music you like, and that it is well-recorded music. If ... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. I'd put the highest priority on the source. But I'd also add that Synergy between components/cables/tweaks plays a major roll in making or breaking a system. You can go out and randomly pick out a sampling of very expensive high end components tha... | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Want to discover the latest ultimate TWEAK...well then, read on to the bottom! But first....1. Your average thief is probably not going to give the time of day to some high-end stereo gear since they are looking for things they can easily carry, a... | |
| Speakers Tok2000 has some excellent insights! I'd pay attention to his advice. Synergy is not necessarily going to be proportional to the $ you spend, but rather how carefully you research and audtition the components you spend them on. In addition to what... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. I own a pair of La Scala's and two pairs of Forte II's. I love both designs. IMHO the newer Klipsch products do not approach the Heritage line of products of which Paul W. Klipsch was the primary designer. I think that their speaker designs starte... | |
| could someone recommend some good acoustic music Which Klipsch are you testing? I've got La Scalas and Forte II's and love both. The La Scala's certainly have the edge with a more natural, full and rounded bass. The bigger horns also do nicely at balancing out vocals and acoustics, whereas my Fo... | |
| Three days until Christmas Happy holidays everyone! All the best for the New Year, and beyond!As to Gunbei's question, I like my system as it is, but perhaps Santa might convince my wife to let me leave my Klipsch LaScala's at home (she thinks they're too big)! I do have a ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Oh, I forgot to answer the specific question that started the thread.....and here is part of the beauty of motorcycles:1: What do you drive (daily & weekends)?BMW R1150GS2: What might you be driving in the future?BMW R1150GS 3: What would you ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? If it's got more than two wheels, why bother!? I ride a BMW R1150GS (motorcycle) year-round. Unfortunately I also need to own a vehicle for occasionaly hauling a bunch of photo gear around (my occupation), and to take my two (large) dogs anywhere ... | |
| What are the "Must have" LP's? Here are three great albums, both musically, and to show off your system:Jazz at the Pawnshop.Muddy Waters Folk Singer.Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions. | |
| How Often Do You Listen To Live Music?? We've been going about once a month this year. As I get older (in my 40's now), I have less and less tolerance for poorly amplified/mixed/produced performances. I'd simply rather stay home and listen on my system! It sounds a whole lot better most... | |
| jennifer warnes, discs other than The Well She does a gorgeous, very simple ballad with bass player Rob Wasserman, on his wonderful colaboration album called "Duets". It wasn't listed on Amazon, so it may be out of print. Get a copy if you can find one. It's a great album, and her song on ... |
