| What Does Holographic Sound Like? "Only that what I am listening to sounds "real", and the 3-D imaging/holography helps enable that since sound is a 3 dimensional (actually 4) phenomenon. "Surprizingly enough (at least to me at first) I've found that this even works for mono recor... | |
| Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad? "Get the Japanese SHM-SACDs. Yes, ridiculously expensive, but you've never heard these records like that before!"When did price ever stop anyone here from getting their next fix of good sound???? O-o\_/ | |
| Vendors Who Post Hmm, would be nice if relatives and/or business associates or even just friends of vendors would disclose....More culling.....getting lonely...... | |
| Why do digital coax cables matter? My brain tells me no two cables that are physically different conduct electricity (or light for optical) the exact same way. So there has to be differences to some degree. The question for me is then how much and are the differences significant en... | |
| Fuses that matter. "Mapman, obviously Krell is not talking about everyone, but if you are attending Audiogon, you can afford the fuses and chips."Maybe, but I really prefer fish and chips! :) | |

| 30 Years of Perfect Sound? "I'm still not sold on his premise that 44.1/16 is enough bits, as I've heard some pretty great 96/24 stuff, but I have to say that I've heard A LOT of great 44.1/16 stuff too."I think there may be some cases where more is better, but I do think t... | |
| Problem with lower frequency bass. Please advise. Trium:which MF integrated specifically do you use? Tube or SS?I used a SS MF A3CR power amp with similar power rating with my Dyn Contour Monitors for awhile. The performance was adequate but not optimal in the bass. One can do better. I would ass... | |
| Vendors Who Post Most are fine.A few add little value and seem to muddle issues intentionally.To better service the users/customers, Audiogon needs better controls in general to help control misinformation and/or nonsense. However, AUdiogon does not seem overly in... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Not that I care what Kal thinks, but:Its not clear to me at all that that is what he believes. HE might mean that the listening room is the same which is true and that ambient information is there but not delivered exactly as recorded which I woul... | |
