| Favorite scream in rock? Also bdp and many others | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Slaw, I've failed to show my appreciation for your spot on impeccable ear. Likewise jafant...you guys rule | |
| How Many Times Can You Split A Subwoofer Signal Using A "Y" Connector? as i understand it the number of times you can split a signal without degradation depends on the output/input impedances of the amp/preamp. in your case i would just use a speaker selector, which you can get very cheaply. | |
| Dual Sub-woofers paired into two sets of speakers - connection option. your parasound is a high-current amp designed to go down to 2oHm, so unless your speakers are ridiculously demanding i wouldn't expect it would have trouble driving both sets of speakers. i also see no problem with connecting one or both subs via ... | |
| Dual Sub-woofers paired into two sets of speakers - connection option. you haven't specified what your amp is, but i'd be very hesitant to run speakers a and b at the same time--you're effectively halving the impedance load that the amp sees, which could potentially damage it and will likely affect performance. | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? there's an "ultimate collection" which has all the hits except for destroyer that is as comprehensive as any. tbh, the kinks are one of those bands whose deep tracks are as good as better as their hits, so i'd encourage you to get the classic orig... | |
| Should I buy a seperate dac? i'd also bet you'd get a significant improvement with the schiit. for less $$ the smsl raw dac 1 is fantastic. | |
| Selecting Rear Surrounds for 5.1 system i sorta agree that unless you're listening to multichannel music the rears are less critical, but all things being equal i'd stay with b&w for them--their 707 models aren't too expensive and should work well. | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? i concur with your reasons and would add a couple more: 1. i own thousands of cds, can't bear to get rid of them and therefore feel compelled to put 'em to use. 2. somehow getting up off my chair to actually unbox and insert the disc (as opposed... | |
| are there any fans of the Oppo BDP-95 out there? (vs. Oppo 105D). @lovepianos i agree with you on the bdp95--i think it's quite extraordinary as a player, while the 103 (which i still use) and 105 always sounded a bit overbright/digital to me.the 95 seems to be going for $300-400 on ebay compared to $600-800 for... | |
| Top 10 Live Albums i like live albums that feature new material and/or do something different than merely rehash studio recordings. from this perspective, good live albums would be jackson browne’s "running on empty", joe jackson’s "big world" and the oft-mentioned ... | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse haven't heard the eclipse, though i've heard the eidolon and other avalons, which very vg if not sota. looks like the eclipse retailed for around 5-6 grand; they get good reviews and certainly look nice and if it was me, and i could confirm worki... | |
| Eversolo, can I do better? +1 pgk188 on the wiim, esp. since you don't need a dac. you can certainly pay a lot more and get better, but i'm not sure whether the differences would be cost-effective. i have the wiim ultra as well as the cheaper wiim pro and am pleased with bo... | |
| Weak link room treatments are always good, but i agree with the get-a-sub--your kefs are great but i believe only go down to 35 or so. | |
| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! certainly bose will eliminate redundant admin and shipping positions at mcintosh, but i seriously doubt they would interfere with the design/engineering side. by all accounts, d&m left mcintosh alone when they acquired it in 2003 and kept thei... |
