| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I sure miss my Snell Type A V5's. They had the 18 inch woofers. They had impact when needed. I 'll be at the CAF looking for something to compete with what they offered in a slightly smaller footprint. | |
| Anyone else suffering with Qobuz tonight Never an issue for people like myself who decided to stick with physical media. My Cd's and albums are never down! | |
| Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts Most of these arrogant people wouldn't have the guts to say the same thing to your face! | |
| Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? I own a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark ll. I may sell depending on how my divorce goes. Joe | |
| Integrated Question I had the Modwright 225i. It had a nice midrange sound but NO bass to speak of. I had to crank it up to 80% volume to get anything out of it. The speakers were Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark 2. MAYBE I could have kept experimenting with different spe... | |
| Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding Someone already said it though I can't remember who: To completely understand something would be to unravel and lessen the beauty of it. Something like that anyway | |
| TRAVELING TO JAPAN! Recommendations for shops for cartridges? Thanks a lot Sammy! Now you have me all amped up to want to go to Japan. I'm afraid it'll never happen unless we all charter a trip there. I've dreamed of going to Japan for a long time. Keep us posted on your success and details. Joe | |
| Amp to pair with Dahlquist DQ30i speakers The room is 22' X 17'. Used for sure just like the Dalquist. Mostly looking for good clean power, not features. Budget? Maybe $3000.00. Joe | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". It's all about what we listened to when we were young. I'm going through a divorce right now. Last Saturday, I went down to Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse that I used to frequent when I was young. MANY of my friends were there whom I haven't seen in ... | |
| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Sometimes, good looks can earn a product more respect than it deserves. Some of the Japanese receivers from the 70's commanded a lot of respect due to their good looks. The sound was FAR from great though. IMHO | |
| Recommendations for a shipper If you're looking for something turnkey, you're in for a surprise. The more you can do yourself, the better. I just shipped a pair of Snell Type B's from Pennsylvania to Oregon. I did not have the original boxes. The speakers were heavy at maybe 1... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? Sometimes peoples expectations of a given price is unrealistic. Years ago I made an offer to a guy whose response was "go to hell". After a month or so he realized my offer was actually more than fair. He wanted to accept it. I told him that his "... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? STOP torturing yourself. Your ears are your ears. Be happy with what sounds good to you and not other people or especially dealers! We would all need three jobs to pay for everything dealers or manufacturers told us we need. | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? This is like ordering a mail order bride! Don't do it! | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Emergingsoul, I'd say you struck a nerve here! How dare you challenge someone's core believe! I picture in my mind how it would have been in the old west had there been audio equipment back then. The shootout at the O.K. Coral would have definitel... |
