| Disco...yep, I'm going there If you have not already, check out Random Access Memories by Daft Punk---they would have loved it in Studio 54--has a few too many bathtub farts though! | |

| Vindication at Last! This forum has been running April Fools articles on high-end speaker cables forever even though it's not April Fools. | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. I think in 300 hours of burn-in what happens is your head burns in--if you want to get scientific about it one would need a double blind test--check out audioholics on youtube. A signal is a signal! | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles I'm an old guy on fixed income and if I want to critically listen without room interference I put on my trusty Sennheiser HD600's and I don't complain about not having a 50K system. | |
| How good's your hearing I'm 73 years old and I'm sure I'm deficient. But let me pose a question for you experts out there. I just googled up the highest frequencies of both flute and violin and they are around 600hz--just north of that for violin at 659. This begs the qu... | |
| The awakening... As long as we're strolling down memory lane, my early teen years were the late fifties when transistors mobilized your music and one could take his tiny[relatively speaking] transistor radio with and listen to Elvis, Dion,The Platters, Bill Haley ... | |
| The awakening... Sounds like you've reached enlightenment [audio wise]. It's called surrender [to the music].My favorite system is an Emotiva Bas-x A-100 which was called by someone on this forum a lower, mid-fi amp{this is the stuff that turns me off on these for... | |

| Just getting started on a budget and need bookshelf speakers/receiver now emotiva bas-x ta-100 is a tuner, dac, amp and has phono pre-amp that is as good as separates w/50 wpc at 20-20k into 8 ohms at .08 thd for 399 bucks will probably beat the NAD depending on what you pair it with. | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? Drink whatever blows your skirt up but have a little cannabis with it for the best in listening pleasure. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? to n80 wikipedia is never wrong is a bold statement--believe what you want but I respectfully disagree. | |
| If you could just pick one instrument that you think sounds best on your speakers Other than voice, I like guitars-dobros, acoustic, banjos, mandolins and fiddles. B&W's from 600 series from around turn of century and 685 S2's. | |
| Considering used towers under $1000.. B&W DM 605 S2 active bass(built-in subwoofer w130 watt class ab amp)Bass down to 25 hz around $1000 for a pair. Big though, around 70 pounds a piece. | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers to geek101I listen at moderate levels because of neighbors and the room is about 12 by 13 ft so I don't require a lot of power but the B&W's are pretty efficient around 90 dbs. and the Denon does have a four ohm rating but the B&W's are 8 ... |
