| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Richingoth, when you say this:"Since biasing is adjusting the current in milliamps of the tubes and the user is adjusting in millivolts there has to be a precision 1Ω resistior that you are measuring across."Does that mean that you think it might ... | |
| Belles vs.Odessey If Belles will let you try an in home audition, I'd bet Klaus Bunge (Odyssey) would do the same. Then you'd get your answer, with a shootout in your own home. I ALMOST did this very thing with Odyssey Loreleis versus the Intuitive Design Summits, ... | |
| New law forbidding the sale of used gear Japan Here's to hoping that Stax Omega 2 headsets have been in production for over 5 years! When was the Omega 2 introduced, anyway? | |
| Do Audiophiles really like music? I enjoy the music a lot, but am extremely picky about getting it to sound right to my ears.* *Footnote: For example, it bothered me a lot when I heard speakers that sounded better than what I had. BEFORE hearing those, my own speakers sounded fine... | |
| Recommend amp to drive Totem Winds? The Winds also sounded quite nice with one of the larger Classe amps. | |

| Used speakers $7,000-$10,000 Rarely, the OLD, 3 box version of the Audio Physic Caldera comes up used. Phenomenal sound, imo. Within the last few months a pair was for sale on Audiogon for ABOUT 10,000. Audio Physic Avanti III's have been highly praised, but I've not heard th... | |
| Please define Jayboard hit the nail on the head, in my opinion. This problem was apparent in my own system prior to the most recent upgrade. I discovered that it IS possible to have a highly accurate and resolving system that is still smooth and sweet without b... | |
| Eliminating RFI "Thanks - just what I have been looking for!!"WAIT! Don't forget to audition THIS model, too! | |
| Contribute to best speaker count. Is this the best one's HEARD, or the best period? I can only answer what's the best I've personally heard. (Honest question, not being sarcastic, maybe the answer should be obvious, and if so I apologize in advance.) | |
| Which speakers vs Vandersteen 3A sig's in large rm Something in the Induction Dynamics line might be worth auditioning. I heard their 3000 dollar monitors a while ago (maybe about a year?) and they sounded excellent. Their crossover design is proprietary and described as a "brick wall", i.e., quit... | |
