| Who do you trust? Usually, I think we tend to trust those who see things similarly to us over the long haul the most.Can't have trust without some common basis. For audio, for me, it might comedown to trusting someone who seems to hear the same things I do in gener... | |
| where to go from here..,, "In the face of Mapman's rule of thumb, all of our preamps work fine with 10K amplifier inputs no worries."Fine is fine, but not necessarily best."Best" is even a subjective judgement. May or may not be based on anything quantitative.Just saying. ... | |
| Do I really need a preamp? Its all about synergy as usual I think. Passives make sense to me if properly mated to suitable sources electronically. That might even be one of the best ways to go if done right, at least from the "purist" point of view, a simple signal path tha... | |
| What is better 1 bigger sub or 2 small ones As with most things...it depends.Good larger subs generally go lower with flatter frequency response. A single sub will sound more different in different parts of the room in many cases, so there is more of a sweet spot. Two subs enable more balan... | |

| Speakers for High-End Digital Piano Maybe the active pro monitors just needed to be bigger? Those brands are popular for your application. | |

| Your Dream/Team Rock Band GLad to see another VDGG fan in these parts.Its worth having a good system just to be able to get the most out of a good VDGG recording. | |
| Who do you trust? I take it all with several grains of salt, more even as the price tags go up. | |
| Tinnitus I don't know a thing about it but the software to help sounds interesting and potentially plausible to me. Not much to loose to try I suppose. | |
| Your Dream/Team Rock Band Traveling Wilburys while they lasted perhaps the best "supergroup" that actually did exist, IMHO. | |
| Your Dream/Team Rock Band Gslone, check out Hackett's Tokyo Tapes DVD or album for something along those lines, at least featuring Hackett and Wetton with a reasonable cast around them. Its pretty awesome. | |
