| Why does my laptop annoy me less than my rig? This is a great question and I bet the price that goes into our Hi-fi rig is part of the problem cause thats the best we have. And the what we have is'nt good enough-never is. But I also bet that the cheapo stuff we have does not bother us because... | |
| A problem with my ASL Hurricane..... You might e-mail Holm audio on the dealer showcase page of this site and they can tell you exactly whats wrong- it was explained to me but I was not paying enough attention to repeat it to any extent. This is a repeating problem as far as I've bee... | |
| CAT vs. Aesthetix vs. Supratek - Preamp Choice I can only respond to the supratek and that it is everything the owners and reviews say. Along with thor, these are my two favorites. | |
| More Power is always good? Keep in mind that the speakers totally dictate the needed power and type of amp for good synergy. First the room size and volume level you like to listen to have to be taken into acocunt. With the grand piano's , 30 tube watts(correct impedance of... | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? 5 magazine reviewers to do a round the clock test to determine if the light bulb of the week is more powerfull at night than during the day? Or, just weaker during the day??Same reviewers to determine If McIntosh or Mark Levinson white gloves do a... | |
| Super Amp? Focus on the TUBES you like not the hype. Keep your 2a3's and aquire a 300b also- keep both and never sell except to change models. This is no oppinion on the Decware! great co. in my mind. But even different companies have different sound using t... | |
| Speakers for BAT system? Time for a pair of Magnepan 1.6's or 3.6's. or Vandersteen 2's or 3's. | |
| Naim, Chord or Krell... your thoughts? totally depends on the music you listen to-rock,pop,country,jazz,blues=Krell. Clasical,Opera ect go with Chord. I used to be a naim guy but the allways hyper allways too fast gets to you after a while. | |
| art audio volume control This is a question nobody can answer! They would be guessing only if they try. I took my all time fav preamp to the dealer to answer this very question for my self, knowing that the preamp in the system is what I would prefer-wrong, It did not mat... | |
| Bang and Olufsen The concept is that an all in one system takes away a lot of variables. And you get decent sound. Just the way the designer likes it for his type of music. But your taste will most likly differ and if you are educated enough, you can come up with ... | |
| Linn Ikemi vs Resolution Audio Opus 21 Stick to the Opus-it's compared to the best where the Linn is the one compared to by the entry level players. I don't know what Linn is thinking keeping this very dull sounding player on the market- by the way I am a Linn fan- but not a deaf/blind... | |
| Efficency- Low vs. Hi? This is a great question and not simple to answer. One benefit to lower eff. is in tone. It is easier to come up with a warm full tone than say with super high eff. horns which need tubes to make up for their bright ballance. There is allways a sy... | |
| VTL MB 450 sig v cj prem 8a's v Mac MC 501's You are going to regret going back to solid state I bet. Once you understand as you do what tube amps do that SS will never do, will never do, will never do- your hooked for life. Its the old accuracy verses beauty debate. I hope you don't change ... | |
| Amps with multiple taps and Merlins Just ask Bobby in person- he is better able to answer that question than anyone and will be rite for sure. | |
| Conrad Johnson 17LS2 tube problems with Krell amp? Actually I have demo'd these two set ups at the now defunct Celestial Sound of Chicago( great store-Ricardo is a fantastic person to do business with!) I must say that given your preference of music I will recomend with much confidence the preamp ... |
