| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Stevecham,Probably because it would raise costs and even perhaps make the product less appealing to high end purists who do not like any extra circuitry mucking with their signals.I do find also that it is less of a real problem with many higher p... | |
| history of Vector Research 7000 I was never able to find anything indoor, even amplified, and I've tried, that worked better than the good old standard FM dipole antenna from Radio Shack. | |
| Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play? I've done vocals and bass guitar on Rock Band with my 13 year old, who usually does the drums.Favorite songs so far: Highway Star and Gimme Shelter. | |
| history of Vector Research 7000 I sold vector research receivers briefly about 30 years back aT Tech Hifi in the NY/NJ metro area.It was decent sounding stuff and somewhat popular for a while as a step up from the Pioneers, Kenwoods and TEchnics receivers of the day for a bit. I... | |
| A turntable? I have an old Goldring cartridge on an old Dual 1264 hooked up to an old vintage Yamaha cr-420 receiver and it sounds absolutely phenomenal It is in my second system driving Triangle Titus 202s and an old M&K sub.This whole rig could probably ... | |
| Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot A purpose of music is to help soothe the soul, and a good blues tune simply and effectively addresses some common problematic scenario that many may face and hence relate to strongly. PLus, any particular master of the blues puts their unique spin... | |
| Did you ever take a step back I like music and it matters.I also like to see beautiful things clearly which is why I wear contact lens. | |
| Did you ever take a step back Regardless of the pieces used or their cost, its not a step back if the music sounds better afterwards. A cheaper system with good synergy overall can outperform a way more expensive one lacking synergy. | |
| Where to use a pair of interconnects? One thing concrete to consider if you have multiple sources, ie CD and phono and maybe others, and your different ICs sound different to you, is the IC used between pre-amp and amp will affect the sound of all sources whereas if used between a sou... | |
| Where to use a pair of interconnects? It depends on many different factors.You just have to try it in different places, compare, and decide.Currently my most expensive IC (Harmonic Technologies Truth Link)is between my DAC and Pre-amp because that is where it lends itself best with my... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi,When you get the 100s you'll now owe us some reportbacks on the sound differences between MWTs and 100s.We audio geeks are very demanding fellows! | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Nice thread.The comparisons of specific Class D amps is of great interest to me.My local dealer sells the small Rowland Class D stereo amp along side Audio Research and Rogue tube amps. I need to go give a listen sometime soon and hear for myself. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Wow, Rebbi, your hooked man and on your way to even better things I'm sure!If you liked the micros I'm sure the 100s will float your boat even further.I plug the ports on the bottom of my 100's with loosely rolled up socks to lessen the bass a tad... |
