| Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it? Mitch,The only convenient way to get rid of them and feel good about it is to give them to someone you know who'll appreciate them IMO. My secretary's husband had a huge vinyl collection in the attic that he didn't play for about 20 years. He didn... | |
| Sim Audio question... Cajunpepe,What if the OP is buying second hand and the seller doesn't have them anymore?I agree with what's been said - there's plenty of ways around this. Don't cross a Simaudio piece off your list due to something like this. | |
| Best sounding DAC with a Rega Apollo Half of the people complain when a product doesn't have every feature. The other half want a stripped down product that has only what they need. I'm pretty sure most people will buy a product that sounds good and has some features that they won't ... | |
| Best sounding DAC with a Rega Apollo I owned the Apollo for about 3 years. Never heard any brightness with it personally. Not that I doubt your ears/findings, just saying mine are/were different. I used a Bryston B60 and Audio Physic Yara Evolution Bookshelves with the Apollo. With t... | |
| Focal Chorus 700 Thanks, Mceljo. I'd go in-wall, but I rent, so it's not the best option. The layout doesn't make building a shelf the best option either. I'm pretty much limited to on-wall. I've come down to the 705v or Totem Deramcatcher. Not sure how either wou... | |
| Focal Chorus 700 Mceljo,I've been looking into the 705v and 706v and thought you'd have some valuable insight into my dilemma...I have go get on-wall speakers due to my 8 month old's recently new found crawling and climbing abilities. I've read that the 705v has w... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? One more...Shaquille O'Neil. Ever hear him talk? His singing's even worse. I remember around the time he made an album, there were a couple of basketball guys making albums. The dinger from Digital Underground had a great quote in Sports Illustrat... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? No mentions of David Hasselhoff and/or John Tesh?Anyone remember Eddie Murphy singing with Michael Jackson? | |
| Naim 5i: How important are Naim NACA Cables? I don't own a Nait, but a very good and trusted Naim dealer recommends the NACA5. He sells far more expensive cables, so it's not a sales pitch. He feels there are better speaker cables out there, but with the Nait/NACA5 combo, you have to spend a... | |
| Best Monitor Up to 200 Watts What does "up to 200 watts" mean in speakers? | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... Why is it any time rock or similar music is mentioned people say things like 'get 15 inch drivers and horns?' Just ridiculous IMO. The reason why these speakers are used in live events is due to the size of the venue, and nothing more. Put a Marsh... | |
| Speakers for Bryston Headshrinker,I saw in another thread that you have used Totems for a while. Have you heard the Mani-2? One of the absolute best speakers I've heard, regardless of price. They need a ton of power to get them moving, but your 4B should easily provid... | |
| my peachtree decco experience, your upgrade advice I haven't owned nor heard any Peachtree gear long enough to have much insight. However, what I've repeatedly heard is that the amp section is what holds it back.How about buying a power amp here on the 'Gon and trying it out? It's not an issue of ... | |
| Speakers for Bryston To add...Personally, I like Audio Physic, Totem, and PMC with Bryston. B&W is a popular match, but I never really cared for B&Ws that much. They're not crap by any means, but I think they've got a ton of competition at their price points t... | |
| Speakers for Bryston I haven't found cold, clinical, grainy or any combination of the above with Bryston. I've owned a B60 for a few years (SST no less), and have heard others countless times.Bryston is very transparent. Transparent to the degree where many mistake th... |
