| System psychology, or just psyched out? I don't think I missed your point at all, as far as your further clarification of it has illuminated. What I am missing, and perhaps you can help me here, is your motivation for asking the question of a bunch of folks who most likely have entirely... | |
| System psychology, or just psyched out? If you are enjoying your modest system immensely, by all means, keep on doing so. You're the one who matters where that particular decision is concerned. Is it psychological? Heck, yeah! We don't really "need" any of this stuff. Without it, we'd s... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Ah, I found the correct quote from "Dead Again" which is better than what I remembered, and quite to the point. The character Robin Williams plays, Doctor Cozy Carlisle, a de-frocked shrink working as a grocery clerk:"Someone is either a smoker or... | |

| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have As far as being a dangerous sport, well, that's hard to deny. Experience and good training, as well as common sense all pay off. Also, as has been pointed out, wear the best protective gear you can buy. Learning to ride in the dirt is a HUGE benef... | |
| Best speakers under $2000 to match with a SET amp? Galante Rhapsody's are a superb match with my 8 watt SET amps (Disclaimer - I am currently selling my Galantes as my SET amps are going into storage for a while). I'd normally tell you to consider Klipsch K-Horns or LaScalas, but both are too big ... | |
| Most resolving, transparent amps. If you miss the meat then you don't have a transparent system, just a lean one.Real transparency includes the meat.OK, alright, you sussed me out; it's the pudding I'm after. I want pudding! I promise that I'll eat my meat, but I want my pudding t... | |
| Most resolving, transparent amps. I guess for me "transparency" is not necessarily the sound of live music, per se, but the lack of a presence of some distortion, coloration, static, noise, grunge, etc. between the recorded music and the listener. How well the music is mixed and r... | |
| Most resolving, transparent amps. How can I tell (without actually listening and evaluating synergy, especially with speakers) if an amp is in fact going to be 'transparent'? Are amps universal in application? If, when I hear a system, I judge to be less than transparent how do I ... | |
| Most resolving, transparent amps. Nuforce Reference 9SE Mark XII Limited Edition with the Platinum mods and Li-ion battery pack with pure silver jimmies on top and Whore-Hose power cord. I friggin'...oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, it's Mr. Bill! Say, have you seen my green pa... | |
| Down-firing Sub makes floor rattle Place an appropiately sized slab of granite or stone underneath the sub. This can be kitchen countertop material - You can sometimes find off-cuts that a stone shop might sell inexpensively. That or a thick wood slab, like a butcher block, though ... | |
| bands you truly miss The Smiths - never really caught on to Morrisey solo nearly as much. Marco | |
| bands you truly miss Here's a guilty confession: Squeeze They're one of those bands that defines an era for me, conjuring up all sorts of memories. Marco | |
| bands you truly miss 16 Horsepower (I do like Woven Hand, but they're not the same)...I don't think I'd call them a "rock band" though.Marco | |
| If you had to have an HDCD DAC which one ? If you can find one, a Muse Model Two Plus (the "Plus" denoting the addition of HDCD, among a few other upgrades) is a great bargain for the used price it commands. It is a NOS DAC. I've held onto mine for years while other DACs have come and gone... |
