| Avantgarde Speakers Joe, let me guess, you don't have a woman in your life. Oh-maybe you don't need one. | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! This is an interesting thread. I'd like to comment because the BEST system I ever built was not the most ENJOYABLE I ever owned. I actually had the opportunity (or curse) to compile the system of my dreams from the considerable resources of the ma... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Mjm, you presenile goose. You mean Schubert didn't write Four Last Songs? I certainly did not know that and was already looking for them!!! I don't know the Tchaikovsky. Can you suggest a recording? | |
| Turntables: $10 - 12K -Suggestions Tubegroover, refurbish your Sapphire and put the Graham on it. That combination is very musical; and you can transfer the Graham to any future SOTA knowing that it will mate well. An alternative would be a used SME V, another great synergistic mat... | |
| Avantgarde Speakers YKW, I would love to listen to the Silverline Sonata but I need to know if you are referring to the now discontinued(wonder why?) Avalon rip-off version or the new retro-Wharfdale sand-filled model. I am told that new breakthroughs in "kitty-litte... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Mjm, thanks for mentioning Schubert's Four Last Songs. You reminded me that Richard Strauss's Vier letzte Lieder are also worthy of consideration. | |
| Avantgarde Speakers Joe, Phill... reLAX... Avantegarde's *TWO PAGE* ad of testimonials in September's STEREoPHILE speaks "VOLUMES" to most of us on AUDIOGON. With that Mag's PLUG, who would even need to listen? OOPS! Then again some might, still. "HONK-HONK" said the... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Chopin, Piano Concerto #2, 2nd movement. Keep it going. | |
| Turntables: $10 - 12K -Suggestions Marlec, I know you are a music lover from your excellent thread regarding "achingly beautiful music" here on Audiogon. I have owned many arms including the SME IV, ET2, VPI/JMW, Graham 2.0, and now most recently, the Wheaton Triplanar V. Though th... | |
| Wolcott amps The best tube amps? I'm wondering if anyone has heard the accompanying Wolcott Omnisphere speakers with the Wolcott "infinite damping factor" amps. I'm told the high amount of negative feedback in the amps more than compensates for the lack of positive feedback regar... | |
| Cardas or Nordost??? Knocking Cardas or Nordost for not "manufacturing" their own wire is like knocking Mercedes for not "manufacturing" the steel used to make their cars. Mta, if your computer company "manufactured" its own silicon, would you post less tripe, or, wou... | |
| Does room size affect volume and bass? Carl is absolutely correct. However, the best 40Hz tone I ever heard (electronically) came from standing 27.86 feet from a big Krell pushing a big speaker in a big room!! | |
| Does room size affect volume and bass? Incidently, the size of the room will affect the bass simply because of its dimensions, because a 40Hz tone, which so many claim to produce, has a wavelength of nearly 30ft. | |
| Does room size affect volume and bass? QED: Room volume affects power necessary to produce desired SPL hence cone excursion, indirectly, but most certainly. | |
| Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase? OK - OK!! I was one of those Nordost takers who violated the first rule of Audiophilia (listen first) and spent a lot of money on Quattro-Fil and SPM Reference based on the press. It simply did not sound good in my system at all. Fortunately (for ... |
