| What is the best compressed iTunes format? Yes, I'm talking about a lossy format not WAV or Apple Lossless. I would assume that they both take up nearly the same amount of space?Is there a lossy file type that is an Apple format? I'm assuming that the reason that the Apple Lossless is bett... | |
| what speakers sound like von schweikert vr6 It appears that the Von Schweikert VR6 retails for about $12k so I find your question interesting. Are they not available or are you looking for a much cheaper speaker that sounds similar or "better?"What is it about this particular speaker that y... | |
| Two Channel is Better, if Vertical Mono Are you essentially playing a mono recording through a single speaker that is made up of two vertically aligned speakers? If so, I would expect this to be the case, but also that the majority wouldn't have the capability to setup for both options.... | |
| sub for Studio-20s? Try to find an REL T5 to demo. It has some nice features that would help it integrate well with small speakers. If your goal isn't home theater I suspect that it would be a nice choice. | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? Audiophilia simply cannot be compared to a religion because it doesn't include any belief in anything beyond here and now. It's probably closer to a mental illness and voices in our heads. | |
| Stereo Imaging Is this their self titled CD or one of the others? This sounds like something that I'd enjoy hearing.Right now I have a bassinet "tweak" in front of my right channel speaker. It should only last a few weeks until my wife can handle stairs after he... | |
| iPod & Bose Dock hospital Slikric3000 - Sorry that my post didn't live up to your expectations :-) I was really trying to find the the thread that Isochronism and I had discussed my son to let him know of the arrival, but I couldn't find the thread anywhere.Today was the f... | |

| Where to use Isolation devices Sean34 - I also heard a demo using Focal Utopia speakers (I think it was the Scala). It wasn't a perfect setup because it was during an event where there were a lot of people in the store, but I could convince myself that there was a difference. W... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? I would think that any difference in tonal characteristics would vary more as a particular battery was drained than from using different brands, but who am I to judge since I admittedly can't hear that level of detail. | |
| is finding a good a/v preamp/amp asking too much? I don't think the speakers that you're considering are way outside the box for a AVR in your price range. My speakers are worth about $3k retail and they sound great. I've heard my speakers connected to a system in the store that was intended for ... | |
| is finding a good a/v preamp/amp asking too much? The biggest issue with going with an AV receiver and stereo integrated is that it takes about $800 to get into an HDMI receiver and that's nearly half of the stated budget.I have an Integra 50.1 receiver that seems to be a much more solid unit tha... | |
| Where to use Isolation devices Sean34, the Sort Kones are actually a coupling device that is in fact the opposite of an isolation device. The coupling devices, in theory, provide a path for any vibration to leave the equipment while isolation devices should isolate the componen... | |
| A good start on selecting cables? Palasr - Ironically, a blind recommendation plus placeo is probably worth more than we'd like to admit. If I think it should be better, it likely will be better. I have a few tweeks that fit this criteria. The issue is finding a method to make a p... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? Ted_d - What is it that changes in a warmed up cable that would be "doubly" important compared to say, speakers and amplifiers?I'd like to hear from the OP after warming up his system with an alternate interconnect and then swapping in his main on... |
