Rega vs Burson Dac
Singleendedsingle,I haven't heard the latest Rega...but your comments re/neutrality don't surprise me. Rega IMHO has never sounded neutral to my ears. They HAVE been remarkably consistant with their voicing though, to their credit. The average con...

The other evening I Netflix'd a movie...'Get It On', a lightweight Kirsten Dunst effort from 2001...yeah, slow night.Anyway, its a play within a movie...High School kids doing a musical version of Shakespear's Mid Summer Night's Dream.The song at ... 
Amp more important than speakers?
Audiiofeil,"Without speakers that satisfy a listener, the right amp is a moot point."You said in one sentence what I took several paragraphs to write.Good listening,Larry 
advice on projectors and screens
Herman,It may be that it simply has no allure for you, that can always happen.But, when I go into my, fantasy world of music, with an almost meditative state, I can smell the liquor, hear other people around me, and simply believe that I'm in that... 
Amp more important than speakers?
Two truths...you can't do without a good pair of speakers, and you can't do without a good amp...HOWEVER...In my experience, I could always have better, (not the best of course) sound with great speakers, compromising on the amplification.I've tol...

Mceljo,Enjoy every minute...before you realize it...little he or she will be out on their own, living their own life, AS THEY SHOULD...but the time passes from this moment to that, all too quickly.Good listening,Larry 
LSA 1 Monitors in a small room??
Mike,I know it's been a while...but wondering if you've tried stuffing the cabinets with wool?That makes a big, big difference in their sound, trust me on that.Any fabric store can usually point you to natural wool for stuffing.Good listening,Larry

Who prefers the Quad 57s over the 63s?
Draculel,I think what has happend with this debate which is about 35 years or so old...hmmmm, maybe less--can't remember the exact date that the 63's hit the market--I know I sold them in, I believe 87--and believe they'd been out for some time.In...

Dbphd,You wrote:"and found myself compelled once again to put my ear to the center channel to assure it was not generating the strong centered image I was hearing."What an incredibly great comment...you are so correct on this...well done stereo ha... 
Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams
These speakers, IMHO, are some of the best ever created...I agree completely with Beemer's statements regarding 'scale' on large orchestral works.They do what MBL's do, in terms of dynamics but with fractions of the power.I'm not comparing them to... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
First of all let me expand my comment. (As long as my answers and comments generally are, how could I possibly expand, you might ask).The issue at hand has to do with television only peripherally imho.A given is that we have limited time during a ... 
Thiel 3.7
Unsound,Thanks for that...I remembered that it was an iconic writer, and certainly Mr. Holt fits into that category.My vivid memories of those days was the angst that Jim and Kathy suffered...as they shared with me, the devastation of 'holding' th... 
Manufacurers I have known....
I have a post to add to this...a Jim Thiel story...I placed it on the 3.7 THIEL original post but it was out of place there. It's a story which shows what kind of people Jim Thiel and Kathy Gornick are. Hope you enjoy.It's fitting to me, that Jim'...
