| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds I thought $80 or so for the Klipsch S4 I use and some newer similarvKlipschmodels going for similar price at deep discount was a good deal, but that is even better! The Klipsch are quite good and I recall seeing very good measurement charts for th... | |
| one 12in sub or 2 8 inch subs Two is better than one in every way, especially if power is doubled with two as well. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sunny,The basic OHM CLS design has not changed much over the years. All including gen 1 from early 80's play as loud or louder than most anything else at comparable price I would say. I have used them outdoors for parties with listeners 50-100 yar... | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Selections from swinging into the 21st century by winton marsalis. | |
| MHDT Havana and Eastern Electric Minimax I use a set of 4 older adjustable turn table feet under my constantine, which sits on my arc preamp. Dont know if feet affects the sound, but the sound is rock solid, detailed but no fatugue... Fabulous. Original ge tube in paradisea produces mino... | |
| Waiting for PONO A lot of grey so far but if it helps newbies appreciate good sound may the force be with it. | |
| Waiting for PONO We'll see.Not sure why we need another format and new and different players to play it. Unless the physical medium is higher res than CD maybe? I read about PONO being an answer to Itunes and .mp3. Don't we already have that, ie CDs, high res musi... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier I'm interested to see if Stereophile or some other independent publication puts the new Pascal Class D amp from D-Sonic on the measuring bench to see how it compares to recent better Icepower based amps in terms of frequency response/bandwidth. | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier In theory, I suspect the difference between best Class D and Class A amps may still be bandwidth, like Kijanki says. Those attune to things happening at the very upper frequency limits of human hearing are probably most likely to notice any differ... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier "I would really like to see where the other big names like Krell, Pass Labs, Bryston and the others could take the Class D or switching technology in the future."One thing sure about technology in general, things generally get smaller, cheaper and... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? "I wonder how many of you can say it sounds great. "My Monkees best of CD sounds the best it ever has by a huge margin, yes even great! I love it! Same story for most any decent quality CD of pop music from that time frame. At the same time, these... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Rower,I'd be interested in your opinion of some more esoteric designs that are more towards the reasonable cost end of high end audio products, specifically DNM Reson and MIT (with network boxes) analog ICs. Analog ICs specifically because I am su... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Rower is most likely an engineer and not in marketing. :^) | |
| What is a better route, tube or SS preamp? "The drawback to tube pre's is that if/when a tube goes a pair of expensive speakers is probaly going with it."I have not found that to be the case so far (knock on wood) with my ARC sp16, but that is certainly something worth considering with any... | |
