| I'm thinking of getting into tubes, what do you Hi,sorry to see you let go of tube. It's common to replace tubes and tube rolling, for me, is half the fun. I'm currently running Bat cdp and pre with a ss. amp. With revealing speakers tube rolling will allow you to "tune" the sound to your perso... | |
| Your favorite recent discovery The Bad Plus. Didn't know quite what to make of them, but very enjoyable stuff. I would imagine they're much better live, but the cd becomes more and more likable with repeated listening. | |
| Are your systems more Plato or Aristotle? Ozfly, depends on the school of thought, but I believe substance is defined as the core and essence the extension of that core (mode). Substance is not subject to change while essence will depending on a number of extended attributes. As such, ess... | |
| Review: Cable shootout Nordost, Purist, Synergistic, MIT Speaker cable Great review and thanks for posting your results. I went through a similar process and was using the Nordost Spm for quite sometime. The whole search took about 6 months and I took copious notes comparing the cables. I think our findings are very ... | |
| What does Holographic mean to you? I forgot which movie but there was a scene where John Coltrane pops out of some floor projector device playing his sax. Now, that's holographic. The next wave in home entertainment? | |
| Would Audiogoners be interested in this? Brilliant!!! I can see a lot of potential in this area. Thanks. | |
| Headphone Recommendation? A little while ago I was looking for a headphone set for the bedroom. I borrowed a pair of Sennheiser 600 and an Xcan2 from a local dealer. Not having been much exposed to headphones, I was blown away by the Senn. After a couple of days, though, I... | |
| Purist Audio : Venustas vs. Dominus? I haven't used the Dominus, a bit out of my range, but I'm currently using mostly Venustas in my system and couldn't be happier. I have tried quite a few before that, and settled with the Venustas for their accuracy, clarity, details, and extension. | |
| Couple of questions on the Merlin VSM speakers... If you read the reviews out there, and there are plenty, everything that is said about these speakers are true. I bought them based solely on the recommendations also, and glad I did. In terms of the bam, if you plan on purchasing a sub, it would ... | |
| Smooth jazz recommendations I don't primarily listen to smooth jazz, as jazz keeps me busy enough, but I highly recommend Chris Botti. His style is mellow enough to qualify, but his mastery over the trumpet will satisfy most ardent jazz fans. He sort of reminds me of Chet Ba... | |
| How distorted with sub line in or speaker output Hi, I'm currently using an Audio Physics Luna sub with the Merlins and I have tried both ways in my system. I have found the integration to be better running parallel as opposed to rca inputs. For one thing, volume control will integrate more seam... | |
| Am i missing some good and lifelike speakers ?tks I'm not familiar with all the speakers mentioned here, so I can't speak for any of them but I've gotten my Merlins a few days ago. It's right in your price range and great for small-medium sized rooms. I would check with Bobby at Merlin, well-wort... | |
| Witch tubes???? Look up the business directory for Salem, Ma. I've heard the soundstaging potion is on deep discount and while you're at it, get the broom stick special. You can then contact Eldartford for the Ultimate Tweak recipe. Most enjoyable when listening ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? My daily driver is a Mazda Millenia. My other car is an all out assault 93' Mazda Rx-7 with 450+hp that I tinkered around with in college. I used to think people who put 20k+ audio systems in their cars were crazy. Come to think of it, I still do.... | |
| Guilty Pleasures Some smooth Jazz, but only for so long before Mickey and and all his rodent friends line up in the hall-way begging for more. |
