| Surprised by quality? Wed. Morning at 3AM by Simon and Garfunkle was a revelation for me. Playing that record on a quality rig awakened me to the possibilities and rekindled my interest in the hobby about 15 year ago. | |
| A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read That's right! Only silence can preserve the status quo. | |
| I need some suggestions for some new speakers... I've seen a few REL Q100E's on sale at A'gon for 600 or less. I've been using one for 5 years and can recommend it with confidence. I'm also running the Creek 5350, but am using Silverline SR 11's and SR 17's. I just saw a demo pair of the SR 17's... | |
| A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read Once they have your head, everything else will fall into line. Consider how it actually became illegal. Alcohol lobbiests prevailed upon legislators to ban the profit reducing competition. Consider how it became such a dangerous drug. Nixon was af... | |
| Wireless Headphones I'm interested in this too, but have further questions.Is interference a recurring problem?Is there a lightweight pair? | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas with Sub or Amati Homages The Extremas mate well with the bigger REL subs, no contradiction of Sscot1961's experience whatsoever. The Rel's are just superior to the subs he specified for pairing with Sonus Fabers. | |

| Monitor enthusiasts: musical subwoofers? Can't comment on the Stereo/Mono question, but REL is certainly the most musical, and coherent sub in my experience with 5 different brands. Others might impress for a short listen, but over time the Rel sounds more natural when dialed in. I like ... | |
| What is the best tweak? Got to agree with Onhwy61. Positioning is number one. Consider all the angles of your speaker orientation, do they aim up down or straight ahead, toed in or straight, different heights if possible. Try them farther from and closer to the wall than... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? At home it's Days of Future Passed, I've been crazy about it since I first head in '70. I am so familiar with it I can tell when there are pitch issues in turntables or tape decks, and it is my primary auditioning recording. Evening will demonstra... | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? In my case it wasn't so much a cable as a company. My audiophile friends were experimenting, but I couldn't really hear much difference. The Cable Company recommended Purist Audio cables for my Linn and Krell gear. The difference was huge. I later... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? I prefer a lower back recliner and a neck roll made out of barley hulls to prop the head up to the optimal angle without undue reflections. I like my Bushmills neat. | |
