| My Woofer Sounds Like a Tweeter I am all in, my brain hurts...Uh oh; D.P. Gumby's stereo advice hotline...smoke and explosions are sure to follow. | |
| High Current Monoblocks Here's a good explanation of "high-current" (see the "best answer" at the top of this page). As I understand it, it basically means that the amp has a whole lot of idle power immediately available on tap when it is needed (as in Class A designs - ... | |
| Nick Drake and others like him Checked out the Alexi Murdoch...wow. I really like Time without Consequence. That was an immediate purchase. I would practically guarantee that anyone who likes Nick Drake's music will also enjoy Alexi Murdoch. Time Without Consequence has become ... | |
| Nick Drake and others like him Great call all around, Eslaudio. That reminds me of yet another rather less well-known and melancholic artist in the same 'family' as Drake and Elliot Smith. Try Damien Jurado's, Where Shall You Take Me?. | |
| High Current Monoblocks Seems I may have stated this before on another thread, so pardon me if I'm playing the broken record here - check into Modwright's new KWA 150 - a great pairing with Daedelus. See my input and disclaimer on this Audiocircle thread along with the i... | |
| Nick Drake and others like him Jeeze, it took that long for someone to come up with Alexi Murdoch (spelled wrong in previous post). ABSOLUTELY!!! Time Without Consequence is a GREAT CD and sounds as if he's channeling Nick Drake. He's touring right now with a few new songs. I m... | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus The paint-by-numbers is a great illustration, Robert (pun not intended). Are there any pills I can take, or some kind of shot to boost my immunity to those Placebo Infections that House missed? I don't have TV so don't keep up with such informativ... | |
| Room size Onhwy61 made very good points. Kind of what I was getting at in the end of my post, but better stated and more thorough. I agree, it will depend largely upon the room, construction, contents, treatments, system location, room openings, etc. Unlike... | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus It is mathematically impossible that FLAC, Apple Lossless, and AIFF or WAV are producing difference results in sound quality.Yet they most certainly can sound different. It must be that New Math you may have missed at school. | |
| Room size My room is remarkably similar in size as yours. I consider it a major compromise in that it forces me to listen nearfield with the system under the higher ceiling height. My room is approximately 13X26 with a ceiling sloping from 14' down to 8'. I... | |
| Which wood and design for diy monitor stands? Hanalemike - Nice stands. I've used Ipe (also known as Ironwood) quite extensively in various outdoor projects (outdoor railings and bridge decking). I think most of the Ipe you buy these days is coming from Mexico. Good warnings you've already pr... | |
| Toothbrush's featured in Stereophile I care about as much of what Sam thinks about a particular toothbrush as I care about what he thinks of any given audio component. Which is to say, very little. I now have a picture of Viridian brushing his teeth with a Diana Krall CD, while admir... | |
| The Next Level BACON! | |
| The Next Level That's the chick from Portishead, right? Gotta check that one out.Nope, you are thinking of Beth Gibbons. This is Beth Orton, who appears in the concert/documentary film of Leonard Cohen (I'm Your Man), as well as on the soundtrack, covering Cohen... | |
| 6 ohm speakers for peachtree nova At the recent CES they were using Era Design speakers (4's and 5's) with the Peachtree stuff. I don't think either is nearly as efficient as you are mentionin, but could be wrong. I have been impressed with the sound of the Era speakers vs their c... |
