| the greatest pop song ever? Not sure I would actually pick it myself, but surprised to see that Lennon's "Imagine" has not been mentioned yet. If show tunes count, "Somewhere" from West Side Story is up there, too. | |
| Your definition of soundstage Not only speakers and amps but also the source components can have a big effect on the soundstage as well, especially when we are talking about turntables. Even within a product line there can be big differences. One of the main reasons I chose Re... | |
| Alternatives to Klipsch Forte II Agree with the Cornwall suggestion - won't cost too much more used, and will be a significant upgrade on the Forte and Chorus in every respect | |
| Recommended turntable mat for Rega P2 Try to get an audition of a mat before you spend any money. I have not found any other mats I have tried, including Herbie's, to be an upgrade from Rega's own felt mat. The maker claims that the design does not really support anything heavier. My ... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue 2 Just saw this - Maxmad is correct, all four smaller tubes you are asking about are the line stage, and the four larger ones are the power tubes. My understanding is that when you use the HT bypass, it bypasses the linestage, as the HT receiver is ... | |
| Any audiophiles brewing beer? just saw this thread - I used to be a very active homebrewer, starting with kits and moving up to formulating my own recipes. Eventually I got too crazy and was putting too much malt in, and then I got some contamination problems, and my brewing p... | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? I will add another vote for Tito's Handmade Vodka from Austin. | |
| Do you have tin ears? Though I do think that cables can make a small difference, I don't think they are worth obsessing about. IMO, it is not worth spending thousands on cable when you can spend a hundred or two for something that sounds almost as good at worst. Your m... | |
| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio It will be interesting to see in the future whether file-based media really will take over in the music world. You guys could be right that eventually physical media for music will die as well. As I said, though, this will not happen much more tha... | |
| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? Hi Bryon - for me, it is all about the music. The technology can be interesting in and of itself, I suppose, but I am really only interested in understanding enough about that in order to help determine why I like the sound of one type of componen... | |
| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio FWIW, a friend of mine from school who used to be an executive for a couple of different record labels is definitely of the opinion that physical media will never die, and he says that this is the prevailing opinion by far in the industry. The psy... | |
| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio Robr45, alot of people say physical media is dead, and that is an interesting issue. Many people think physical media will never die, because of the pyschology of wanting to own something. People will still want to own copies of their favorite rec... | |
| tube amp for ProAc Response.. need suggestions Second the PrimaLuna suggestion, I have heard this combination more than once, and it works very nicely. You could probably find a used one within your budget. | |
| Buy LED, LCD or Plasma Albert, hope you enjoy your Panasonic plasma. I bought one a year ago now and really love it. I would strongly recommend that you have it professionally calibrated after the first two hundred hours of viewing. I could not believe the difference th... | |
| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio The Rega Apollo, IMO, is one of the best values out there, that's why I bought one. Sounds as good as most players four or five times it's price - they go for a smoother, more analog-like sound, and they have great soundstaging and imaging, if the... |
