| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers Rayhall, I fully agree with your philosophy of looking for neutrality. However, in my experience there are no "speakers which [are] generally quite neutral", even if you spend tens of thousands of dollars. I believe speakers are the most subjectiv... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Someone above wrote: "Nonetheless, I vigorously defend every free person's right to stick weird dots on their equipment, color the edges of their CDS, reposition AC cords in astral shapes, perch their components on exotic materials even when -- in... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals "The audio recordable discs and equipment sounds considerably better than computer "burner" devices for audio." This absolutely makes no sense to me. It is not at all what I hear. My Yamaha copier is actually much more reliable than my Phillips au... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Eber, I thought you said you were done with this post ? Stick to your word, please. | |
| Who R U? Diva99, yeah so what. | |
| Who R U? Who I am ? One who dislikes fanatics, whether audiophiles or otherwise. I also dislike disrespect and insults, but consider myself free to retaliate when attacked. I don't believe in false modesty, nor in boasting. In terms of sound I believe that... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Hey David99, sorry about your mom, honestly, of course I didn't know she had passed away. It's just a saying you know... My sincere condolences, such is life. I hope you're doing well. With regards to the topic at hand, perhaps your pain is cloudi... | |
| Most reliable equipment manufacturers Sedond, regarding Thiel I think that is the definition of a reliable equipment manufacturer. A component failure every now and then is expected, as long as it is not too often. The key is how quickly you can get the problem fixed. I had a tweeter ... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Crispianus, in double-blind testing the reviewer does not know even whether a swich of equipment has been made (i.e. he is not told whether he is listening to A or B). I believe that is too extreme. It should be sufficient for the reviewer to know... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? David99: go home & cry to mamma ! Joe is criticizing my equipment on which you wasted all those $$$! C'mon, face it, not everybody thinks the same way. Respect other people's opinions or risk becoming a pariah like eber. | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? You are so dim witted that you can't read my post properly. Blind testing is not the same as double blind testing. And I suggest you go see a shrink about that anger. | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers I disagree. I think the first choice should be speakers, then amp, then upstream, then cable.If you want to "voice" a system speakers have unquestionably the biggest impact. Then amps, then digital front end, then cables. When you select your spea... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Adieu Carl. Keep up those bench-presses ! | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! The system I would like to build is designed around the SoundLab U-1 speakers. There are a number of amps I would like to try with them, some recommended by reviewers such as the Atmaspheres, the Wolcott, or the Krell, and others I would like to t... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Sorry but here is a real audiphile myth: that vinyl sounds better than digital. Perhaps if you spend $20K or more for your analog gear it does. Or if you have lousy equipment or CDs. But in the real world price level vinyl just sounds much worse t... |
