| You know you're an audiophile if-- your respond to forum postings as if every posted response that differed from yours was going to cause your ego to implode. | |
| Best iPods for AUDIOphiles in terms of sound quality directly from the ipod, the consensus is that the 4th, 5th and 5.5 generations work off the best dac chips. some people have then moved forward and had their pods modded by vinnie rossi at red wine audio.l.a. | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker there are both distinctions and differences between the perks provided, dontcha think? book and record reviewers really do critique/review the wares they are provided. reviews are often neither glowing nor positive. in contrast, audio equipment re... | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker tsk, tsk. the usual discount to the trade, with maybe a substantial supplemental kicker due to the price. let's say 30% retail? then you can also factor in the end of the year tax write-off, as a business expense. nice gig. "...oh what fools we mo... | |
| Your top 3 comedians i would throw sid caesar into the mix. he could do solo gigs on his show and was absolutley first rate/classic in his ensemble work with carl reiner, howie morris and imogene coca. | |
| First round of auditions disappointing I have had the gma callisto's for almost a year. I second everything that bombaywalla has written. in addition, the bottom end is very well defined and clean. obviously you don't get the big dynamic oomph, but - and this is important to note - you... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nico: "Chelsea Girl" | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen one more suggestion, though a tad obscure: The Dresden Dolls, with Amanda Palmer on vocals. Extradordinary, achingly sad. you can probably pick it up on the net, on their website. or i can send it to you as an attachment. quite amazing. | |
| GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM i have not heard the merlin, but I do have the Calliso in a nearfield listening position. I love it: the dynamics, the clarity and liquidity of the vocals and wide and deep soundstage. also, there is far more clean and deep bass than i expected fr... | |
| The song you just cant stop playing??? lately, seem to be 'hooked' on "Redondo Beach" - Patti Smith and"Straight to Hell" -The Clash. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? guidocorona: yes, indeed. yes, indeed. but, it does appear that people really believe that the way to the 'soul'in music is through equipment and technology. whatever. | |
| GMA europa, Where to audition i believe that the GMA Europa is now sold only factory direct, but you should check with Lee Landes. So pre buy audtioning is going to be real tough, if not impossible, unless you are directed to a GMA Europa owner in your area.I bought the GMA Ca... | |
| iPod earbuds for exercise I have been using the Shure 3cs for over a year. I have used the sponge as well as two different rubber inserts, though i havent special ordered the triple flange. I have found that the best sealing, hence bass production comes from the the sponge... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? bilbo- thanks for supplying your note of commonsense sanity. I, too, have the Bill Evans recording. Just plain fine music. I also have the re-released "Everbody Digs Bill Evans"; another winner. Music with soul. JohnnyTurbo | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Is not the path to the soul through heart, rather than through the hardware? Seems that'good'equipment (Plato wrote, above: "..use the right gear and set it up properly") - be it tubes or ss, analog or digital - is a vehicle to get you where you w... |
