| question about BOSE reputation Other than the sound of Bose, there is one thing that nobody talks about when speaking of Bose and that's how unflexible and upgradeable their systems are. What I mean is this. I was talking to a person at my job about a movie on DVD and I mention... | |
| SS versus Tubes One thing that solid state does not address that tube gear does and that is the owner participation of it's sound and performance. There are those of us who like to have a hands on experience with the equipment that we use. Cleaning inputs and dus... | |
| SS versus Tubes Hi guys. I've always read these "tubes vs. SS" threads but never responded. However, it seems that this thread is starting on a good note and although I hope it stays "civil" I would like to add a little to this thread before the craziness starts.... | |
| FULL RANGE vs. SUBWOOFER+NO FULL RANGE Hi Jair. If you ask most 'Philes' who listen to symphonic and classical music, you'll find that two of the many performance aspects that they really look for are tonality and dynamics. Some will tell you that "true" full range speakers are they wa... | |
| Can’t believe anyone Hi X. What do you feel your system is lacking in the first place as far as performance goes? I believe you really want to put as little responsibility on the salesman to help you decide which component should be upgraded next. I think the best thi... | |
| Newbie with "bright" system Wemmessie. Since you are now experiencing a slight "dullness" to your sound after room treatment, may I suggest a detailed, brighter, & airy but very smooth ITC? Thanks, I knew you wouldn't mind. Anyway, try Silver Audio Hyacinths. I have had ... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in two worlds. One of total enjoyment of my music and the system I've built and the other when I don't like the sound and it's time to change something. There have been times when I absolutely loved a performance ... | |
| Newbie with "bright" system Oh yeah. How is your room treated? DO you have a lot of reflective walls and surfaces exposed? Before you buy anything please address your rooms surfaces and other related issues. If your room sucks don't even waste your money on any heavy duty pu... | |
| Newbie with "bright" system If you are worried about loosing the features that the "NAK" has by going with a tubed pre amp, try a Sonic Frontiers Pre amp. It's tubed but it's a neutral sounding unit with a touch of warmth that if sort of gives you the best of both worlds. It... | |

| Sonic Frontiers Tech Support is Great Well I have a story about Sonic Frontiers that I think may be interesting to some of you. I had to have my Line 1 repaired and infact it is still in Sonic Frontiers posession as we speak. Anyway, I first started to deal with Doug who is now since ... | |
| Cassandra Wilson Thanks Liguy. I just marked that on my calander for the summer months until I find out the exact dates. Do you have a favorite album? | |
| Best smooth jazz albums? You can't forget the group 4 Play and the late great Grover Washington Jr. | |
| MiniDisc and external DACs Thanks Bmpnyc. I live in NYC currently. I would like to check out the Denon but have not been able to hear it in person. Can you describe a little in detail what made you pick the Denon over the others? I haven't been able to hear the Sony 333es o... | |
| Changing Amps?? Are you Sure?? I see your point Frap. Detlof I totally agree that the newbees will have a hard time not getting caught up in the hype of new technologies and features. I'm a newbie in regards to taking the equipment that I listen to my music on more seriously an... |
