| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it "Best" is subjective based on criteria you choose. May or may not have anything to do with TCO. It all depends on priorities and what is perceived as best by each. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? How about "jump on Best Buy before they are gone"?Radio Shack had a few gem audio products over teh years by most standards. That was a long time ago though. Still sad to see RS finally succumb to the times. If not for radio Shack and Lafayette as... | |
| the most underrated 33 1/3 in history? Capital learned their lesson about how to promote new groups in teh shadow of teh BEatles then when "Get The Knack" came out a few years later. Here it was clear the group, also very talented, was not The BEatles though teh album cover was based o... | |
| the most underrated 33 1/3 in history? As I recall, the hype about them being the Beatles when the first album was released was spontaneous and grew organically but was not initiated by teh group or Capital records. But once it achieved critical mass, capital chose to ride the wave of ... | |
| the most underrated 33 1/3 in history? I like the entire Klaatu catalog. Yes it is derivative but what music isn't? No one album is top notch end to end, though all are well done. Hope is a concept album and plays best end to end. If I had to pick one, Hope is the one. Love teh album c... | |

| Best A'gon System What would happen if it were determined that some measly 4 digit system in these parts was best?All hell would break loose. Could be the end of times. | |
| Best A'gon System Everyone.Of course they could well all be wrong. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... My view is that if one truly cares about getting the best possible sound, you have to use components designed to work best together. Otherwise, things may still sound good, maybe even good enough for all practical purposes, but you will likely be ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Tekton will be a better match on paper from a pure performance perspective. That should mean it sounds better as well, but of course that is a more subjective call so you can never know for sure until you try. | |
| Do Pangea PC's really outperform standard PC's "Anything outperforms the stock cable that comes with components."That's a pretty broad statement. Also has no relevance to the ops question about Pangea specifically.I hear a major difference with mine and consider the value proposition to be fai... | |
| System assessment--should I change amps? So all is good now with the change to the Nuvista 800? | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it "tube gear w/less tubes & more efficient speakers, done."True in many cases but larger speakers needed for full range at higher volumes in a larger room off a smaller tube amp might turn out to be expensive.Its mostly a matter of scale. Almost... |
