| Recommended components on Stereophile Magazine. Bravo, Marco! Best post of the year, in my opinion.Thanks, Joe! I think it's human nature to need to make everything fit into some kind of black and white, better worse, Class A and everything else, us and them scenario. And boy do we love to have... | |
| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread So much for the limited edition...money talks | |
| Recommended components on Stereophile Magazine. I'll probably echo things that have already been said here. Music, sound, the "accurate" reproduction thereof in ones home, or perhaps more to the point the "enjoyment" of the reproduction thereof in ones home, is entirely subjective. You might pr... | |
| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread Cyclonicman - I'm pretty sure the White Album is in the mono set. It is titled, simply, "The Beatles" | |
| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread All I could find was the Japan limited edition for $651 on CD Universe - that's probably about what the regular set will be going for on eBay come Xmas time if they really stick to their limited edition. | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen If that list is anything like Rolling Stone's movie reviewing I wouldn't find it worthy to line a bird cage. If you have an outhouse you might use it if the Sears catalogue is running out. You also might be interested in this extensive thread if y... | |
| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread It was set forth early on that the mono box set is limited to 10,000 copies worldwide. I've read input where it is very unclear as to whether there will be any subsequent issues of those discs once those 10,000 are sold. Amazon and Barnes and Nobl... | |
| DIY Nearfield Monitors CW - I had a pair of Rhapsodys for a year or two. I liked them, but felt they lacked extension. Corner placement helped the lows. Mids and imaging was great. He made a larger version, I think called the Buckingham maybe(?). I don't know that the l... | |
| Very sad news - George Wright has died George was a very nice man. I also enjoyed my time with him. Knowing him a bit I would guess that he was at peace with his own mortality. RIP George. | |
| Bryston 3-Way switchbox I've used the Bryston and was very happy with the results. I did a brief comparison, with and without and could not hear any profound differences. My only complaint with it is that the speaker terminals on the back are too tightly clustered togeth... | |
| how far do you sit from your speakers? I'd agree that it really depends on the room and system and personal preferences. Kind of like Lincoln's answer to the query, "how long should a man's legs be?" Lincoln's reply: "Long enough to reach the ground." | |
| Modwright Transporter VS Opera Droplet 5.0 CDP. Did you try the Audiocircle Modwright threads? Try posting your question there.here's a fairly recent thread with limited comparisons of the MWTP to Vinyl. | |
| Woofers firing at an inside wall Why? I have been told that the woofer faces forward right into the point of that triangle. I have never seen it. This is not correct. The 15" driver faces the back of the speaker cabinet, away from the point of the triangle. The point of the triangle i... | |
| Changing your tune System update done.Glory - I think there's currently an error in your system profile: The RWA Isabella is a preamp. The Isabellina is Vinnie's DAC. Very good choice, BTW! I've been flipping gear for years too - coming up on the third decade in thi... | |
| DIY Nearfield Monitors I think Radian also makes the type of drivers you're looking for. Used by Tannoy and the defunct company Galante in their speakers. |
