| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread I heard a few things on my to-hear list for the first time:Daedelus: i was impressed and these lived up to my expectations in a short limited audition with nice acoustic jazz recording. Classic Audio Reproductions (with the field coil drivers + At... | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread Just got back. Spent 4 hours or so there earlier today.My skinny, FWIW, in that I have never attended any other show to compare other than the initial CAF two years ago, is it was worthwhile and I would like to have had more time to soak it all in... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I tend to agree that we may underestimate our ability to remember what things sound like. Our senses are powerful tools when tuned in and assessed objectively. Regardless, each person's individual senses are all we each can really depend on. | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread Planning to head down tomorrow morn. Any impressions from attendees so far? | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? Hey, sitting here listening to a live recording of Black Sabbath, i have no problem with not actually being there, at least with my eyes closed. It's really kinda silly some of the things we audio kooks might sweat about. | |

| Duet to Touch for next upgrade? If I already had Duet and looking to upgrade I would get the DAC right first then move up to latest and greatest player device. Touch is about due for a successor soon I would think and I would expect that to up the ante still at this stage. | |
| The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned? Is this the first topic ever here that gets ridiculed without offending anyone? Anyone, if you're out there i offer my sincere apologies. Now back to pondering the mysteries of fuses..... | |
| 500 Greatest Albums of all Times No Deep Purple? Ok that confirms it. The list is WORTHLESS. | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved "Pettyofficer, I have to say, last post was pretty well written."Well, maybe but formatting and 1 big run on paragraph is still an issue.PO, if you can get the format for your digital posts down better that might help you in the credibility depart... | |
| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? COmparing lots of speakers is a good thing for any individual to do before buying. I'd trust each to draw their own conclusions though and what one ends up picking for whatever reason should really have no bearing on what the next would choose, as... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? In order to compare apples/apples live/in-house, ie just how the music sounds, it helps to close your eyes, and just listen. After all stereos only reproduce sound, not all the other things mentioned FBOFW at a live concert. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Batch,Glad to hear that things are shaping up as they should! | |
| Ideas on speaker like Magnepan but with high WAF OHM Walsh styling may not be everyone's cup of tea but footprint is small for sound delivered and placement fairly close to walls is possible. Decware is more omni and might require greater distance to walls, not sure. Have not heard Decware but w... | |
| Duet to Touch for next upgrade? Pre-amp generally has a huge effect on sound so trying different ones is a good place to look for sound improvements in the areas of tonality, noise levels, detail/resolution, imaging, soundstage, overall musicality, smoothness, etc. Also note tha... |
