| Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin I was reading up on Stradivarius instruments on Wikipedia.From what I read, quantifying if and why these particular instruments sound different or better than others is kind of like trying to do the same with fuses in hifi gear. Clearly part of th... | |
| Want Nice table radio cd player to replace bose Sangean++. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I don't hear much about OHM subs and have never heard any. I'll be interested to hear about it as things unfold.Prices look competitive and John S. consulting can only be a bonus. | |
| Impressed by Pangea Audio AC-9SE I am an esoteric tweak skeptic, as some here would likely attest to, I recently bought a Pangea AC14SE, to replace a fraying old power cord for my DAC, new for less than $100 and I have been very happy with it. It does seem to have lower noise and... | |
| Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin Seriously, now I am very glad I am not the only audio kook out there apparently whose hearing is not fine tuned enough to be able to clearly determine that a Stradivarius sounds best. My daughter plays violin using a nice but non distinguished mod... | |
| Not impressed I've worked pretty hard to get good sound out of my second system using whatever I can and not having to make a huge investment. Its currently built around a 30 year old Nad 7020 receiver used as a pre-amp only at present that I picked up in a paw... | |
| It's official, there's nothing weirder than... Journey has always been somewhat commercially over-the top and meh for me. Wasn't the Uncle Jessie character on full house based on Steve Perry? :^)I've seen John Stamos with The Beach Boys live recently. Our "Full House" loving family got a kick ... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed "Penn & Teller's "Bullshit" series is smart, funny, and accurate"Unlike much of it one might find around here. | |
| Not impressed Can't blame anyone for feeling that way really. So much hype, crap and noise to cut through in high end audio.The only truly high end sound is the one each person puts together that floats their boat anytime they listen.So if one feels that way ab... | |
| Beware purepower inc Ebm is very efficient with his words, that's for sure! :^) | |
| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs Nordost soundstage and imaging was top notch when demoed. | |
| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs Bo, your assessment of Nordost is consistent with my limited exposure to them to-date. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Almost any change or tweak I try can be heard I find. I think John just likes to keep to simple formulas that can work for most, but some are more finicky or have very refined goals. It can work either way, but I think John like any business perso... | |
| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs I've heard Nordost High End wires once that I know of in a 6 digit tube amp dealer system with Magico Mini 2 speakers. It was very good sound in a smaller room with the Magicos, especially for classical music. but pop/rock genre left me somewhat c... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? John has even chimed in on this thread in the past if you go back a bit. Been awhile though.He is a musician as well as an EE though, I believe. They say musicians respond to music differently than others due to extensive exposure to music, and hi... |
