| 16K to Spend. Help me make the end all Upgrade. I'm surprised that you don't think the Sapphires are physically attractive. I love Dynaudio speakers, and I find the Sapphire to be the most attractive speaker they've ever produced. I haven't read the whole thread, but if you were choosing just b... | |
| Where to buy vinyl? If you're not particularly price sensitive, the Fantasy Jazz series from Acoustic Sounds, the Blue Note reissue series from Acoustic Sounds, and the Blue Note reissue series from Music Matters are all by and large stunning, both in music content a... | |
| Why No New SACD Along With New Vinyl I think that's a really good question - I'm in the opposite boat, recently getting a nice TT and buying lots of the reissues - loving the vast majority. In any case, I find myself if I'd be just as happy if they produced SACDs of the titles I'm bu... | |
| Anthem D2 or Lexicon MC12 I know nothing about the Anthem, but have owned an MC-12 since they came out. For the price that a used MC-12 goes for these days, they're an absolute bargain. They're well built, versatile, sound great in 2-channel and have always been a leader i... | |
| Beloved equipment I used to think of them as "just speakers," but once they went outside the boundaries of the system, began helping others less fortunate than them by being active in the community and touching the lives of others......well, when I now say "beloved... | |
| Blue Note reissues as an investment? Undoubtedly a bad investment, at least in any predictable sense, for all the reasons mentioned already. But, great enjoyment factor, so I can't imagine wanting to sell them later anyway - every one of the AP and MM sets I have received I just love... | |
| what are"fun" speakers? My interpretation of "fun" speakers are speakers that are easier to get to sound good, even if their potential isn't quite as "absolute" as other speakers. Easier to drive, easier to match, easier to place, not as dependent on room size. | |
| I just don't get PC Audio I would add as positives to PC Audio that a music server acts as a basic database for your collection, provides links to as much info about bands / albums / songs / etc. as you desire, and lets you "view" your collection from just about any perspe... | |
| Need New Speakers You have a mother who owns Vandersteens? That must open up some mother-child conversation that isn't open to many of us :-) | |
| Best 'Gon humor My favorite humor thread ever was titled something like "Why so many 'why so many...' threads?" It doesn't appear to be here anymore, but it was just a hilarious parody of audiophile neurosis. | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico I think it's interesting to watch reviewers move through the various price levels over the years. They get more and more expensive gear as time goes by, and they get less relevant over time due, mainly, to the fact that they're reviewing stuff mos... | |

| Digital Convergence/Comments on Retail It does feel like we're finally getting to the point where "convergence" is truly happening, so I'm glad if there is somebody trying to adapt a retail model to the new era. I would certainly like a retail destination that is not Best Buy-like, and... | |
| On a scale of 1-5 So close, Hodu, so close!!! The right answer to both questions is Pi, but taken to at least 10 decimal positions :-) | |
| The Police Live I think he was rating the tour performance, not the band. I assume this is just a continuation of their reunion tour - the people I know who saw them in St. Louis last year would agree that the show was hit and miss. I think even one of the band m... |
