| Is it all worth it? That old things can still perform well brings up some interesting questions.Like if Johnny Unitas, who was physically imperfect and limited by modern standards, came around today in his prime, would teams still want him? | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Wow this is all so hard!I think we really all need someone to save us. | |
| Is it all worth it? Exactly. They are enjoyable and cost practically nothing by audiogon standards. If it sounds good and is enjoyable why bother analyzing it further. A corollary would be it need not be considered audiophile to sound great though not perfect. | |
| For all you Dean Martin fans A lot of Dean Martin original releases remastered to CD are nice sonic treats. Essential Dean Martin is a good sampling. | |
| Is it all worth it? ive only heard them in my sunroom. Not a/b compared with any others other than triangle Titus I had in there prior. But I'd expect they could compete with various smaller monitors I've heard from companies like PSB and B&W in local shops ... | |
| Is it all worth it? Yes I am listening to them now. Very well suited for the sunroom. One can can call them whatever. My point is they cost practically nothing these days and compete with new stuff citing many times more somewhat surprisingly. Yes se they are ... | |

| Second audio system in your house? Don't even ask how many pair of headphones I have sitting around...😛 | |
| Second audio system in your house? My main system is no holds barred for the ultimate serious listening sessions at least for me. I use that as a reference but my second system costs much less and has some limitations. But still sounds spot on for serious listening at least up to ... | |
| Yoga blocks for isolation Try them under speakers on a suspended plywood floor. It should be relatively easy to determine to what extent they isolate or couple. I suspect more the former but the proof would be in the pudding. | |
| Question on using Vinyl Studio Yes thanks. I will likely give it a try sometime in the near future. | |
| The issue of lowballing... What does that mean? Even If all lowballers encountered are of a particular race that does not mean all or even most of that race.are also lowballers. It serves no purpose and adds no value other than to promote racism i.e. Judging people based solely on race. So ... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? What the ohms are not is bright in any way which sometimes can be perceived as more detailed. How owe detailed they are depends largely on what they are fed and how set up in the room. I do do not find them wanting in detail compared to say my D... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Hmm machina dampica? Got a nice ring to it. |
