| Best of the "Best of Chicago" Compilations I have "Group Portrait", which is pretty comprehensive. Recording quality varies with Chicago track to track across so many albums, from mostly good to very good.Surprising about the Rhino collection. Rhino stuff is usually pretty good though ther... | |
| lessloss blackbody Khkenny,There is some truth in what you say but I don't think that is how these things are advertised to work. They supposedly address EM noise problems but in a different manner than say Mu Metal, according to the vendor site. I don't see any cla... | |
| Tube or Solid State Based on the limited information about the OP that we are working with so far, I'd say the SS will be the safer choice with the greater chance of fully satisfying and delivering optimal performance.The tube amp may be a good choice as well, but ca... | |
| Tube or Solid State How big is the room and what kinds of music do you care most about? Also what pre-amp will you be using? | |
| lessloss blackbody I don't understand how it works, but I'm pretty sure it is not voodoo. | |
| lessloss blackbody I wonder if they work for all sound or just sound that comes out of speakers?Might they work for say a live vocalist, piano, or guitar player and make them sound better as well I wonder?If so they should use them in the recording studio and lick t... | |
| lessloss blackbody "The silence between notes is what was missing. "That would seem logical given that it's a black body. Noise must get in but never gets out. | |
| Dreaded wall unit It is what it is.My second system is set up similarly for similar reasons (Triangle Titus monitors up high in Ethan Allen Cabinets). I do use a sub with these in this setup in that the bass extension suffers to a larger extent. Soundstage size, im... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Tandberg is the only home audio company I can think of that I really miss and wish still carried on.Aiwa made some very good cassette decks early on.I had a Nakamichi car stereo once. I miss those. | |
| tubes and rock and roll, good fit? I agree that tube pre-amp + Class D amp is a very effective way to introduce tubes into a system with speakers that are not designed to be tube friendly (low efficiency, low impedance). | |
| Being grateful for what we have Only if I am sure something can be improved to meet my expectations.There is something to be said for being a perfectionist....but that too should be in moderation as Almarg points out.There's more to life than audio or any hobby or area of enjoym... | |
| lessloss blackbody That would seem to be the case here.Probably only if the Blackbodies are oriented in the same direction though I would think, otherwise the combined effect might be destructive?Hard to say. Far be it for me to be able to explain how a miracle works. | |
| lessloss blackbody Yes, it truly must be a miracle. People hear improvement yet there is no explanation for how or why! If that is not a miracle what is? For only $1000, that would seem to be a reasonable price for a true miracle! Buy two and twice the miracle! That... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker For some closure, I finally took the plunge and acquired my "monster amps" a pair of Bel Canto Reference 1000 mkii monoblocs, 500w/ch into ohm doubling into 4, to drive the Walsh 5 S3s and the other speakers in my system. Monster in terms of power... | |
