| Bel Canto C7r vs Parasound Halo Integrated I have c5i and think it's the cats meow. 60 watts gets you pretty far but not the nth degree if you like it loud and clear with less efficient speakers in larger rooms. c7i has more power and tuner in addition to dac and phono. Hard to fault o... | |
| Why a digital media player instead of a dedicated computer? Erik I still use squeeze system but also have found plex to be a very good value streaming system. With very good sound that runs on most all common devices. Not perfect but works well. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2016 They were playing a vintage spoken recording of some sort when I heard the kefs. They were very impressive with that. Would have liked to heard more but had to move on. My corner placement experiment is working out exceedingly well. A nice ne... | |
| Amy Winehouse You could hear the soul in her singing when she was on her game for sure and not so much when she was not. A very stark contrast. The things that elevate people to greatness can be very fragile things. | |
| Amy Winehouse Very talented girl. Would have loved for her to still be around and share her talent and live a happy life. Very tragic. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles,I don’t know Joecasey. You’d have to ask him not me.No people are NOT free to post anything. Derogatory comments directed at others are not allowed and rightfully so.Looks like his comment was deleted.OP seemed to think it was entertaining... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... joecasey with the personal attacks again. Do you have a job? Stalking me can't pay well.Nice some people find him funny and condone personal attacks from others.So much for the "respect" thread. Very hypocritical and disgusting! The neighborhood... | |
| Remembering Phoebe Snow on Her Birthday July 17, 1950 Always loved Phoebe Snow. I listen to her recordings often. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hmm well so far there would seem to be a definite correlation between what people actually pay for the fuse and what they hear. Isnt it it true that typically expectations going in can influence people’s conclusions?It’s certainly possible. The ot... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Papa I suspect it's mostly me with my ears having gone through a major training exercise last weekend at capital Audiofest and me listening more intently. After all I'm just a human being not a microphone. My listening skills do not hold consta... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... DbargerI'm with you on that. Charles,I suppose I was just making a point. Perhaps heated discussion is a better description than animosity. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Btw my system is sounding really good today. Not that it normally does not. Is is it just me or could that red fuse I stuck in there months ago finally be gelling or whatever it is that fuses do over the course of months?Could be that after attend... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hmm it's possible that since wolf believes op is not being entirely transparent with his motivation that he feels he need not either. Only wolf and op know for sure it seems. Wi such animosity over such a trivial issue as fuses it's no wonder the... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... As with most cases where extreme views are expressed the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. If if one wants to drop hundreds of dollars on fuses more power to them. I'll never understand why but like anything in high end audio all that ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "And many engineers tend to be a bit too dogmatic and inflexible in how they approach their work."No argument there. |
