| Which track do you demo to your friends? I guess I do both. First, I play something I want to hear (and share) and then I turn the controls over to my victim. My favorite has to be the "I've listened to this a thousand times and I never knew they did THAT." The other night I played the R... | |
| Tubed pre-amp for solid state amp? Did the same, times two, really. I have an AH!Tjoeb and a VTL 2.5 running into a Bryston 4b-st amp. It sounds really swell. However, one thing that I have recently found to be a little more annoying than I initially gave it credit for is that I ju... | |
| Who R U? Awl hell, why not. Ive been addicted to this site ever since I found it, so why not fess up. 28 and living in NYC. (Still a youngster compared to many of those surveyed, though less so than I expected, truth be told). Grew up more or less in the ... | |
| Annoying Sibilance=digital glare? Ok, what really surprised me is that I had logged well over 100 hours on these guys (I actually built four pairs and have them liberally scattered throughout the system) and they were, at that point, more or less fine. Then I decided, lord knows w... | |
| Annoying Sibilance=digital glare? Not quite at 100 hrs yet. Patience, eh? -- cheapest fix yet. Thanks. | |
| Best system for ROMANCE If you're still in NYC and looking to audition, stop by Innovative Audio as well. They can be a little more pricy than the ones mentioned above, but I have found them to be the kindest, most accomodating, and knowledgable of the lot - and they've ... | |
| Oh Pls Help precisely | |
| Speaker cables and interconnects - help! I'd like to echo the comments of Sdcampbell -- I've got a pair of the Kimber Monocle XL's (which I love) but they retail for $1,100 or so, and that it more than anyone needs to spend on cables (and a lot more than I did, luckily). The homegrown au... | |
| <2K amp for Shearwaters There's a dealer here in New York who has essentially made a name for himself selling little other than Meadowlark speakers coupled with VAC equipment. Really, to the point where, if you walk into another store and mention that you are considering... | |
| AH Tjoeb CD Player, comments good or bad Im relatively sure that I wrote one of those however-many reviews on audioreview.com, so my comments here should be taken accordingly. Ive got one. I like it a lot. It is a really solid sounding (if not solid physically) CD player that can very ... | |
| Best musician in the world? I can't disagree with any of the suggestions. However, I cannot resist the temptation to cast one more vote for Victor Wooten. Yea, his solo album can shade a bit towards the corny form time to time, but he hasn't been voted the best bass player a... | |
| Feelings on Napster? Possibly it's the latent anarchist streak in me, but I tend to rejoice at the potential for entrenched, corporate models which rule and dominate creative industries being fundamentally challenged from time to time. Reminds me of the movie industry... | |
| NATURAL CHERRY VENEER Thanks for the scratch and dent fixit tips, all. Very helpful. I'm talking the veneer on some Thiels. I asked the folks down at Thiel what they thought, and figured to add their reply to the discussion as well, so here's the official line: "Natura... | |
| WHICH SPEAKERS? Me? I've got some Thiels, the 2.3. My room sucks. There is no treatment at all. And, yes, I know that there is a lot to be done to improve things. No question. That said, however, the right to an opinion cannot be bought, by treating one's room or... | |
