| Does JBL get a bad rap? It's been a week now since I posed a reasonable question. Several of you have seen fit to discuss my question and comment about it, but no one has made much of an effort to answer it.I have a hybrid system that I put together using B&C DCX 50 ... | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? It would appear that the average age of the audiophile is rising by the year. The inevitable stopping point of the aging process will coincide rather identically with the stopping point of that individual's consumption of new audio products. It wi... | |
| Does JBL get a bad rap? Can anyone here comment on how the JBL top line horn systems like Everest compare to other efforts such as Classic Audio Reproductions, Oswald's Mill, Volti, or Cogent?Three of the above named seem to be following JBL and/or RCA while Volti is a K... | |
| Himalayan SALT Lamp My salt lamp is very neutral sounding. Soft light too. | |
| Anyone Recognize This Logo? What a turn of events. A simple query about an unfamiliar brand brought out a rather touching story from someone who was there and participating. You have good reason to be proud, David. Seems your Dad was a master craftsman who excelled in a peri... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? It amazes me that anyone would even pose this question. It seems so naive.The greatest majority of women just don't care and the majority of those who do have adopted it because it is a huge focus of their spouse. And in all cases, the best you co... | |

ATC and PMC can take you anywhere you can afford to go. Focal and Neumann offer excellent but somewhat more affordable options. These pro... | |

If you want those just say so in this thread and I'll put up an Audiogon ad. These are parallel SET and use the 6AS7 output tubes. I have m... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers If you are after realistic dynamics, try using front-loaded horns driven by compression drivers. Perhaps Danley has something you might enjoy. They are commercial speakers and look it but they get the job done like few others. For better looks in ... | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? It turns out there is no point of diminishing returns. The Taliban invented that whole concept because they hate our freedoms. | |
| Is It Ironic? Today's so called innovations are, more often than not, about better margins or a marketing gimmick to goose sales. For the most part, American corporations are not about the product at all. No reason to expect them to compare favorably to the old... | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? I'm sorry. Double post was a faux pas. | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? From your responses, I gather that a goodly number of you are unable to grasp the concept of diminishing returns. I know that this failing is not due to lack of information because the essence has been explained in this very thread. The Law of Dim... | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? While there surely is truth to the assertion that high-end audio will never die completely, there is another truth we all must face. It is withering, dwindling, emaciated. Sure, the floor you are standing on seems as solid as ever, but the foundat... |
