| Who are your three favorite female singers? I'm deeply attracted to a particular sound that these women exemplify.Elisabeth FraserRegina SpektorMairéad Ní MhaonaighBut I very much enjoy many, many more from around the world. | |
| Best integrated for my needs???? sangbro has got it. Luxman or Pass.As you mentioned the Luxman 509x... I have it and it's a wonderful integrated. I listen to everything, jazz, classical, rock, hardcore punk, various ethnic music, electronic, and more. It is both clear and bright... | |
| The problem with Magicos Take a Mylar kite with a copper tether line, attach the tether to a yttrium needle inserted into an inflated sheep’s bladder, sealed with earwax around the insertion point. Through an opening on the other end of the bladder, attach a length of nat... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers Most men don't care about quality audio either, so let's say, most people. They like "music" and so long as it's what they like, they aren't concerned about the sound quality, just the song.I believe people are generally average in tastes and perc... | |
| JBL L65 vs Forte III vs Cornwall IV Another vote for the Cornwall IVs. I too listen to a very wide range of music; classical, jazz, world, electronic, ultra heavy... The Cornwalls do it all with deep, tight bass to rich mid-range to sparkling highs. They'll sing with your amp! Like ... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. More like the power of ignorance. People spouting about communism and socialism and several other things... So much wrong not only about those things and the countries that didn't even practice them (USSR / Russia, China, etc.) anywhere near what ... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV Yes, indeed. The Heresy IV's coupled with a sub( or two of you need to rumble) of equal quality are a fantastic choice for a smaller room, etc. If you dig horns, you can't go wrong with them. I demoed them just because I could even though I was se... | |
| purchasing US made speakers Horns. Any quality manufacturer. My choice was Klipsch Cornwall IV's. They are big though. For smaller spaces I'd try Heresy IV with a quality sub (or pair of). They are astoundingly good for their size. | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Hah, didn't see your last post. Awesome! You'll be get satisfied! | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? The Luxman 505uxII is an amazing amp for the price. When putting a new system together I demoed one, loved it so much over others I snagged a nearly new L509X for a good price, and have been extremely happy :-) | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Yeah, something wasn't right with the parasound. If I recall it had plenty of rated power. I wasn't using phono , btw. I've been purely digital for years now, CD and streaming only. I grew up with vinyl but physical space and convenience pushed me... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Another vote for Luxman or Accuphase. I'm biased towards Japanese SS though, as my experience (and ear/taste) prefers the ultra -clean, dead neutral, nothing between you and the music**, yet smooth and silky sound. And I roll with horns, Klipsch C... | |
| interconnect suggestions I agree, you clearly haven't. Opinion and anecdotal evidence is fine for junk science forum posting but reality has a higher bar. I don't engage in credentials pissing contests because it's a waste of time, but more so because I don't need to. Alt... | |
| interconnect suggestions The belief espoused by some that there is a large enough difference in cables to warrant spending many hundreds to thousands of dollars is purely psychological. If you BELIEVE you hear a difference you will. However, a good signal going through pu... | |
| To horn or not to horn Try out / audition a few manufacturers if you can. Best way to discover what you like. I've got Cornwall IV's sitting on plinths I made custom out of cherry (matches the cabinet finish) that use large rubber and cork isolating pads as feet. To me,... |
