| Why is there no reviews for Dynaudio T2.5? I listened to them extensively when I bought my 1.8's, I liked the 1.8's better. The T2.5's had more bass, but I thought that the upper bass was a little boomy. I thought the 1.8 was smoother and more integrated. Oddly enough, I think the t2.5 is ... | |
| Whats the coolest sounding movie? I go with The Fifth Element. Great sound effects in the fight scenes, the infamous Blue Diva music scene, and Milla Jovovich for those who could care less about the sound. The villians are hilarious, the dialog idiotic and it has great partial nud... | |
| Best HTIB??? Need help I just talked to some guys in a white van, and I think that they have some speakers that could really improve the performance of this system. It's a closeout! I'm sure it's a great deal because the speakers are BIG!I do think Oinkio would be a gre... | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? How 'Bout Bootsy?The old P-Funk tracks are something else. ''Flashlight'' goes into my guilty pleasure pile. | |
| Any worthwhile indoor FM antenna's? Anyone? I use the Magnum Dynalab ST-2 with good results. Much better than the Terk types. It was good, vertically mounted behind the "Mother of all Cabinets", but it got much better mounted in the attic. Stucco is hard on reception. Got it at Audio Adviso... | |
| Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............ Missed Zeppelin tour due to Bonham death.Missed The Who's FIRST farewell tour due to HS Basketball Regionals, missed the NEXT farewell tour due to a college calculus final, which I nearly failed anyway. Oh well, so many farewell tours followed tha... | |
| My Dumb Question of the Day Thanks for the link to turntablebasics.com. The ''shockwave'' idea seems to make sense, I'll pull out the Wallytracker and check alignment when I get a chance. | |
| Next Level Budget Upgrade If you want more musicality, I would work from the software end. Uncompressed wave files will sound much more musical than the MP3's or the other compressed media. Unfortunately, that could be a VERY expensive upgrade if you have to buy the music ... | |
| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? Physical Graffiti. It took me weeks to save for it at a dollar a week. | |
| Better than Norah Jones...? I didn't care for the Norah Jones, but the girlfriend might like Karrin Allyson on ''Ballads'', where she performs all of the songs on Coltrane's classic, but with vocals, and a wonderful combo. She also adds a version of Naima that is stunning. | |
| I am getting Comcast HDTV, but... Make sure you have a good component cable as the comcast guys will probably show up with a 6 ft composite cable with a stereo pair attached. With the impedance imbalance the color was bad. I like the reasonably priced cinemaquest (audioquest). It ... | |
| $250 Computer Sound I just hooked up a new computer sound system using the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum and Monsoon PlanarMedia 14 speakers. The speakers were $140 and the card $175. The Monsoons sound great. The midrange is clean and open, good extension in to th... | |
| New Police remasters/SACD.... I liked the 2 channel on the greatest hits, and also the CD layer, but I did't care for the surround mix at all. I found it very unnatural it really put me off. Are they going to put out Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity? I actually only have... | |
| Anybody using Audio Advisor's Record Doctor II? It works for me. I've never used the VPI, but I'm happy with the Disc Doctor for $199. | |
| Stereo versus DSP Bypass Mattkimb,What processor are you using?I agree with voodoochiles assessment on what each mode is good for but I disagree on what each setting is called. On my Anthem unit, stereo will be processed, and DSP bypass is the analog straight thru with on... |
