| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? I owned a pair of Klipshorns for a year and was never able to make them sound very good. This could easily be blamed on my room and electronics but I finally gave up and bought an M&K satellite/sub system that I used happily for about 20 years... | |
| Audiogon Members I agree. It seems like the community on Audiogon is a little cut above what I'm used to dealing with in my daily life. Honest advice, transactions with integrity, and genuinely enthusiastic. I like it! | |
| Best female vocals on CD Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. Try 'Little Queen' for a treat. | |
| Sound quality of Rhino Records remasters? I haven't compared them to the originals but I've always thought they were pretty darn good. | |
| What's your profession? Age? Age 43, DSP Engineer. System retails for around $18k but was substantially less through connections. Also sounds better than it should thanks to some DIY magic and a huge amount of sweat equity in building a dedicated LEDE room. | |
| Amp and preamp impedance I just want to make a simple RC network (1st order) and I need to have some idea if there's a value for the resistor that would be large enough to be easy for the preamp to drive and small enough to make the input impedance of the power amp irrele... | |
| Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under I bought a Legacy 4/3/2 (manufactured by Coda) for under $1k. I use it in 2 channel mode which operates in class A mode up to about 25 wpc then gracefully transitions to class A/B up to 450 wpc into 4 ohms. It sounds as good as anything I've ever ... | |
| Perfect sound forever ? Not even when new... I've heard the ticks that you're talking about. They occur at consistent points in the music and Aural Illuminator doesn't fix them. They might be static in the recording process. In the early days of cd, "Frankie Goes to Hollywood" catalogued the... | |
| Music industry troubles caused by radio? I gave a listen to WCNW and KCRW and liked them both a lot. We have a similar station here in Salt Lake (KRCL Community Radio) and I spend a fair amount of time listening to it. It's very much a labor of love in that they have volunteers producing... | |
| A digital revelation The instructions with the unit are extremely general. I'm also an EE and I had to probe around with an oscilloscope to find the points to tap off of. I put the XO3 in a Marantz CD-67SE which uses some proprietary chips that are not listed in the X... | |
| Latest Peter Gabriel I listened to it the other night. I thought the sonics were excellent, lots of depth although maybe a little bass heavy. I'm still getting a handle on the songs but I think it could become a favorite as I become more familiar with it. | |
| How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage I've gone to the extent of creating a "Live End, Dead End" room in order to eliminate early reflections. The early relections are what your auditory system uses as cues for determining the spatial location of a sound source and the room signature ... | |
| Death of Vinyl? Nah I don't know why "Death of Vinyl" appeared in the subject line. I entered "Guitar Recommendations". | |
| Death of Vinyl? Nah I remember when I bought my first cd player. For a time, I listened to both cd's and vinyl since my cd collection was small and I did prefer the sound of vinyl to the cd's. The thing that killed me on vinyl however was the fact that only about a t... | |
| Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables Please forgive the following rant:I think the basis for the arguments against Monster is disdain for unbridled capitalism. All's fair in love and war (and capitalism) but the free market should encourage excellence and allow the little guy with th... |
