| And we strive for..... what ? With all due respect Ikarus, I'd like to offer a contrary point of view.As the article points out, the autotuner is not going to make a lousy band sound great. It will just make them sound in tune. I view it as a tool to help clean up the odd mist... | |
| What used speakers would you buy under $600? Another vote for Spicas. I like the TC 50's. | |
| Best band of the 80's My vote goes to either Men at Work or Asia. | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Sean,I like your idea. Just wonder if the goons at the RIAA would try to stomp all over this like they have the file swappers? | |
| Krell Showcase Processor I've had the Showcase in my system for about a year and have been nothing but pleased. One nice feature is that Krell allows you to hook up both analog and digital outputs from the same gear. If anything strange happens to the digital, (as often d... | |
| Does your system reflect your personality? I have a tube system as well as a solid state system. I guess that means I suffer from bipolar disorder. :o) | |
| Tube newbie, Audio Research questions? I currently own Audio Research and Krell systems. One for stereo music only, the other for 7.1 HT. I agree with Pmotz that each has its plusses and minuses, but that you can't go wrong with either.If I HAD to give up one, I would probably give up ... | |
| REL Subs: have you changed the stock cables? I have the XLO Neutrik cable on my Storm II as well. I agree with Markiii, it makes a huge difference. As does putting a better power cord. | |
| Finally got the new Steel Dan DVDA I loved the music but didn't care for the short video that came with it. A bit too smarmy for my tastes. | |
| Surprisingly good shipping option I agree with Wvick. After dismal experiences with UPS and Fedex, the good old USPS has been a very pleasant surprise. Given a choice, I won't use any one else. Just don't show up on December 16 or April 15 (2 busiest days of the year). | |
| Going from an ARC CD-2 to Sony XA-777 ? I do have the ARC CD-2, and I think it's one of the finest cd players I've ever heard. I've yet to hear the Sony that can beat it on the redbook standard. | |
| Please explain preamp theater pass thru You had the right idea in the first place. The HT passthrough does just that. It passes the signal from the pre-pro directly on to the power, bypassing the preamp's own circuits. This allows the pre-pro to control the overall volume of everything,... | |
| tubes with thiel, meadowlark or revel Elevick is right about the Thiels. I have owned 3.6's for several years. They are notoriously difficult to drive. IMHO, they need a big, bad beast of a SS amp to really make them sing. 200 wpc or better. | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? A really good dealer will try to figure out your tastes, your likes and dislikes. And then, and only then, make recommendations accordingly. And yes, these are few and far between. | |
| ARC VT-100MKII to MKIII, upgrade worth the cost? I agree with Markxiii. I would add that the upgrade from MarkII to MarkIII is not nearly so dramatic as the upgrade from MarkI to MarkII. The presentation is a bit dryer and the breakin period is fairly long. YMMV.One thing you do get with the Mar... |
