| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! I too have noticed the 'lower decibel' phenomena. I also notice that when people are over, most of them gravitate to the stereo and like to hang around it listening to music. Maybe it's my personality. You can tell the music lover's right away. It... | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? Whatjda say that for? I get dear john letters every day! Eccentric I am. A genericized homogenized McDonaldland patronizing suburban-hell GAP worshipping drone I am not ! | |
| Any integrated using 6550 tubes... I will. In a whole year I've seen two go for that. One was a guy who was just dumping it for fast cash. Great units from what I understand. | |
| Any integrated using 6550 tubes... durnit! Uh, as I was trying to write: I've seen CA-50's go for 1500 on this site, and 1600 at a local shop. That's an incredible bargain for the cash. Especially since it will hold that value. I don't think you can find a really good tube integrat... | |

| Who R U? Another heavy metal great is the Metallica Black album. (you probably own it) Something kind of funny is that Nothing Else Matters is actually a rework of a nylon-string classical guitar song called 'Romancia'. I remember when I was learning it, I... | |
| Best reviewers Carl's opinions are quite refreshing compared to other, more jaundiced reviewers. | |

| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? After I rewired my house with Cardas Golden CrossSection Interdomicile wire, the noise floor was lowered, but I could distinctly hear an annoying 60hz hum coming from my 60W GE 'soft white' bulbs, and even more so from the smaller, more delicate f... | |
| Best reviewers Clarification: It's more Park Avenue now. | |

| Surround Speaker wire Recs - WAF need You can also buy home theater speaker radio transmitting and recieving units. I don't know how their sound quality is. This means you don't have to run ANY wires. Radio shack also sells ones to transmit Video ! This means you can send the outputs ... | |
| Opinions Needed: Active or passive pre The adcom 750 has two sets of outputs. Also has a passthru to run your home theater or tv variable outs into it. | |
| Best matching speaker for Alepha 3. I demoed the aleph 3 with the proac above. Very nice sound. The salesman played it at his max 'safe' volume. It was not very loud. | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Heck sakes! Don't go a smashin my Beatles albums ! I buy used equipment to do my own comparisons and come to my own conclusions. I don't use retail dealers, so I need another resource of good advisors. I find these advisors by finding those magazi... |
