| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners A service outage of that duration is certainly not a normal thing. Do notmean to insinuate that is user error. | |
| Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle?? Of course this kind of thing is very dependent on how material is recorded and will vary widely from recording to recording. Hopefully you have a frame of reference for how the recordings you are testing with should sound? If not, getting the righ... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners " I wouldn't know how to build a business plan around an assumption that 90% of my customers are idiots. How is that for a company brand."I doubt the business plan is quite that extreme, but Apple is the perfect model for how to sell technology to... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Sounds like a pretty par for the course kind of experience for computer audio.There is a learning curve up front no matter which device or technology still these days it seems.

| BANG for the BUCK One key to getting "bang for the buck" is to move forward in small, carefully planned increments. Look for things that appear to add clear value towards achieving your goals for reasonable marginal cost. Worst thing to do is to just throw money at... | |

The right amp with a little more drive would probably remed... | |

| amplifier for large advents? The amps one already have sitting in the attic are definitely the right ones to try! :^) | |
| Magico S1 vs YG Carmels I think I heard the same demo as Larryi at Capital Audiofest several years back. I'm pretty sure a different model floor standing Magico (S5 possibly?) were involvedThe two sounded more similar to me than different with the vocal jazz recordings d... | |
| amplifier for large advents? For sound more towards the warmer tube side of things, there was a pair of TAD Hibachi 125 monoblocks up for sale here the other day. I used to sell the Advents and have a pair of these and would like to hear them together.For pure performance, a ... | |
