| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? I swapped my Maggie fuses to high end "Audiophile" fuses and the sound GREAT!! Of course, they don't sound any different from before I changed the fuses, but the speakers still sound great. | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Actusreus, do you have a picture of the cover you have? I want one for my Classic like that, low profile.thx. | |
| Best preamp to go with Mcintosh 501s stick with the MC2300, symbiotic relationship | |
| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? I'm a newbie, 2004 | |
| What time do you wear? Rolex Datejust SS, circa 1982. Fairly generic and unobtrusive, and I could sell it for more than I bought it, which is really the measure for how much I like anything. I love the Omega's but I'm just too lazy and cheap to buy one. | |
| Building a listening room in new house; Texas? Welcome to Texas, San Antonio is a great city, and you will love it. Since you already speak English and German, mix in some Spanish and you will love it even more. There is a huge historically German population in the hill country north and east ... | |
| SACD's to avoid due to poor remastering. I have that SACD too, and I agree, it sucks. So does Norah Jones "Come Away with Me". The standard CD sounds better to me. | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers My favorites in Houston, like you I travel a lot for work, and I would put Houston right at the top along with San Fran (all No Cal really) and New York for food towns. There's a lot of disposible income in Houston due to low cost of living and lo... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers D-Mob and Bong-o, I agree on the high end pizza being an oxymoron. I grew up in Chicago, where one of the few great foods was Pizza. I love Chicago, great town, but not the best food town in the US, especially in the low to mid price range.Anyway,... | |
| clearaudio emotion cmb vs. VPI classic I had a Clearaudio Performance, the table up the Clearaudio line from the Emotion, prior to my Classic, and although the Performance was a great table, I think the Classic is better in all ways. Not hugely better, but it is better.More extended, w... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers I tend to like the burger grilled instead of pan seared as well. I agree 100% with D-Mob's analysis. I like a huge variety of condiments, but to be pefectly honest, if I can put some tasty guacamole (or just fresh avacado slices) and pico de gallo... | |
| Amp and speakers combo- Magnepan MG 1.6/QR you need a lot more power for the front speakers. I would look at keeping the NAD for the center and rear speakers and looking for an amp with at least 400w into 4 ohm. The extra power will definitely mellow out the brightness. Maybe a Wyred4Sound... | |
| Turntable interconnects. I tried a bunch, then ended up with the VPI interconnect, it sounds great. I also recommend the Graham Slee interconnects | |
| Auralex SubDude HD - Subwoofer Isolation Platform works great | |
| Help me spend some $$$$$ I don't feel sorry for you though, you live in the Virgin Islands!! |
