| Why Don't More People Love Audio? 10 year old thread, wow.Part of the blame goes to the poor marketing within the retail sector.Most high end audio shops, (before the internet did a Sherman's March to the sea) treat it as if it's brain surgery and talk down to customers. I know, I... | |
| Phoebe Snow has died. When she came to Louisville back in the mid/late 1970's...memories get tricky that long ago...I seem to remember that she announced that she'd be going off the road to care for her then new born daughter.Her potentially wonderful performance was s... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? And so it came to pass...That after an eon of disagreement, the horn lovers were verily converted to dynamic speakers, and alas, the dynamic lovers...you guessed it, fell in love with HORNS!Play nice guys, there's nothing important enough about au... | |
| advice on projectors and screens Try Imaging Science Foundations Web Site--Joe Kane is the Video guru on this planet...has been for many years.The 'throw rates' as to what's acceptable are published for each tv as part of their specs.Good listening, (er ah, viewing)Larry | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? OK, time for a 'respect intervention'.Johnk, we really don't call posters on Audiogon, names.We don't hurl insults.All of us have differing opinions, likes, dislikes--that's the nature of the human existence.Keep it civil or find others to talk to... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? I'm too old for practically everything...so what!Good listening,Larry | |
| Speakers for a large vaulted room? I'm at a loss as to how noone has pointed out the total disconnect of comparison between Magnepan and PSB.The issue, primary issue for me, is the day and night difference in presentation between the two speakers. That's fundamental to this whole i... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Mrdecibel,If only we had more Audiogon members, 'hell USA Citizens'! like you...06-18-10: Mrdecibel wrote:"I was at my friend Scotts house. He had MBL101's with all top Jadis gear. He had an air bearing turntable and arm with a moving coil cartrid... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Isochronism,You're right of course.Being a dillitante is part of the audiophile sickness, one that I certainly have.I really did have to design my own speakers, to have something that I didn't grow tired of.The issue is now, I didn't make them 'no... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Duke,I understand, shipping's a bear these days.I would LOVE to hear your creations some time. Part of knowing how good they must be, stems from your afinity for Sound Labs. If you love/sell them, you must have a good handle on what is musically a... | |

| Perfect Debute Albums In reading some of the responses, something occurred to me.The albums I have loved, are rarely commercial successes.The Nancy/Cannonball Album, while still in print 50 years (almost, 49 actually) past it's release date, couldn't have been the kind... | |
| Problem with soundstage up near ceiling. Several questions:How far are you from the face of the speakers?You say,"When seated in the sweet spot, all the highs seem to be comming from where the wall meets the ceiling."That would be 'behind' the speakers at the joining of the 'rear wall' i... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Some time back, I touted the Exemplar player, a converted Oppo. I own the Dennon/Exemplar, his former best--which I think by most standards is still excellent 'digigal'.As I think about what I get with this player and digital overall, I can't say ... | |
| Arcam AVR 350 or Marantz SR 6005 An older post, you've probably already moved, but:I'm 100% with Vicdamone (great voice this guy).Arcam does indeed make good sounding electronics. Very sweet and smoothe...better IME than the Marantz...which is saying a lot as Marantz makes good--... |
