| resolution and imaging "For anyone to say audio reproduction should not try to mirror these imaging effects is preposterous! You are simply missing out on part of the musical event with lesser imaging."It should try to but the results will never be exactly the same thou... | |
| resolution and imaging Imaging live is different than imaging from 2 speakers but there is imaging occurring nonetheless in both cases.I have heard systems morph as Wavetrader describes. I often wonder though how much of it is the system itself changing as opposed to ou... | |
| resolution and imaging Resolution and imaging are both good things.Just think of you room as your own private concert hall that is unique and distinct from any other and don't worry about what the music sounds like elsewhere because it ain't the same so it really doesn'... | |
| resolution and imaging Wavetrader,Thanks for the tip.I've acquired a greater appreciation of many of the older RCA recordings in the last few years. | |
| resolution and imaging One sign of a good system I think is that few if any recordings sound bad. Few if any are perfect but most have something to offer.I've heard a lot of original vinyl and remastered CDs of material from the 50s and earlier that sound very good, if ... | |
| Good speakers for a low budget I'm also thinking buying another pair of speaks for $600 will not make much difference from the current PSBs, if this model PSB sounds like others I have heard. If the CD has a digital output, an outboard DAC might be the best investment for $600.... | |

| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? If you are a mechanical engineer that likes to tinker, then vinyl should have its appeal. Record players are great machines for tinkering. That's how I got interested in music and audio as a young kid...tinkering with the phono. I learned how to a... | |
| Good speakers for a low budget As much as I like Apogees, I would caution that they are usually hard to drive correctly and an atypical design/form. Knowing more on the application would definitely be important in the case of recommending Apogees. | |
| Good speakers for a low budget I prefer to know more before recommending usually, but there are certain models in this price range that a layperson can surely build a nice system around and I have no problem pointing someone to these and then letting them decide. It beats the a... | |
| Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments Rootmann,Do you like the Tower Theater as a concert venue these days?Its a classic building but I have not been overwhelmed with the acoustics there. I've attended 2 concerts there in recent years, Walter Becker and the Moody Blues. These were gre... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Any professional reviews out there that compare the sound of a digital switching power supply to analog?I only care about the sound and would have to be convinced before paying a premium for more expensive technology that may or may not make a dif... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? I'm not looking currently, but I strongly suspect the next amp I buy for my current power hungry speakers will be Ice or Class D at least. |
