| Adcom, Acurus or McCormack Artemus, I havent't listened to and Adcom amp in my system, but I have had an Aragon 4004 mkII, Acurus A250 and 200x3 and both a McCormack DNA 1 and 2 in both my HT and reference system, the Acurus and Aragon have far better punch and bass than th... | |
| Attention Deficit Disorder Audiophilia Wife thinks you crazy huh? I had that before, but I always seemed to outlive 'em. First wife died eating poison mushrooms, beleive that s**t! Second wife died of a broken neck, wouldn't eat the mushrooms! Sorry, had to share this one that one of m... | |
| Can DVDs be copied to Videotapes? Actually their is a way, albeit illegal, like software piracy. A low end Chinese DVD player, the Apex AD600A (sold @ Cicuit City-newer ones don't have this though!) has a 'secret' loophole menu on it that was intended only for service techs etc bu... | |
| All-time best recordings for romance Cornfedboy, although a great album (I saw Zappa on this tour Halloween night @ the Felt Forum in NYC!) I wouldn't dream of listening to that for sex! Try just about any Tori Amos or Portishead, you'll do much better with the girlies! | |
| Acurus versus Bryston, Classe, Etc. I must agree with all of you, owning both an Acurus A250 and 200x3 for the home theater, and an Aragon 4004 Mk II in the bedroom, the Acurus is good, though slightly brighter, which to me is a plus in HT. Musically it does lack some. They will sta... | |
| Biggest Sonic Improvement Living in a condo, with horrible power, I've found a Chang Lightspeed 9600 ISO was a HUGE upgrade for a little investment. The noise was completely gone, bass was tighter and more abundant, soundstage opened up, hell I love it so much I bought a 9... | |
| best THREE channel amp for about $1,000 I must agree with the above, I use and Acurus 200x3 and an A250 on the front for stereo, I picked both of them up on Audiogon for just over a grand and am very happy with them in my home theater. They aren't quite as powerful as my Aragon in the b... | |
| Why has Netflix gotten greedy? Yo carl_eber. THERE IS a site competing with Netflix, it's called cafe DVD, I think the URL is similar, I haven't joined them yet, but they have like 6000 DVD titles, and offer a package like Netflix used to. I unfortunately am stuck with netflix ... | |
| Guilty pleasure music? Michael, I disagree, I find it mazingly interesting that people who are well informed and knowledgeable in the field of High end audio listen to all kinds of music! Sure I'd never bring old New York Dolls to a store to test speakers or CD players,... | |
| Audio/Video Rack I know they'd seem out of range, but my brother just picked up a Lovan Sovereign rack off of a place in Branden/Bradenton, Fl off the web for $415 with 5 shelves, I know the place sells all Lovan and they drop ship direct from the factory. At this... | |
| Guilty pleasure music? Hell, if you listen to it, it's good to you! Don't ever feel guilty over things you listen to! I've been known to listen to old, live Black Flag and CJ recordings, yeh, they sonically/musically SUCK, but I still remember seeing these bands in high... | |
| Why has Netflix gotten greedy? I have used Netflix for about a year and I agree, the Marque program is far more expensive to the infrequent user, I stopped using them except for the free 8 rentals I seem to get from all my little nick nacks, from video cables to connectors I se... | |
| Whats the best way to clean speaker grills? I've always removed the grills and wiped them off gently with a clean, moist sponge. It's simple to do and works very well. I've been using this method on me JSE's for over 13 years now without any problem and I don't need a compressor or vacuum c... |
