| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? You bet, Look for a pair of used Altec Lansing Model 19's. 100 watt/ch amp will blow your doors off. | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! VPI is the result of one man's desire to become more involved in his hobby without enough knowledge to make wise engineering decisions, coming up with an array of glitzy sub standard turntables and tonearms. It is what happens when you have more m... | |
| Honest opinions on my two picks of loudspeakers Steakster, Bear is not an electrical engineer. Who do you think was telling bear what to do! Bear however was quite the character and indeed the wall was probably his idea in looking for a grand expression of the concert audio system. Like I said ... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Everyone has to remember that now it is the rare recording that is done analog. The vast majority are now recorded directly to a hard drive. So in saying that analog is better you are also saying that high resolution digital is not a problem and t... | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) glupson, not according to the town facebook page. Smiley (the yellow car) goes down side streets at "80 mph, passes cars on the "sidewalk", and "passes school buses." The police respond that they can't pull a guy over for doing 5 over. The reality... | |
| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? Audiokinesis is correct.Berner, A dipole is special because it radiates in a figure 8 pattern. It radiates very little to the sides. A bipole is omnidirectional radiating in a circular pattern. The dipole limits early reflections in the room. If t... | |
| Preamp recommendation Trinnov makes the best. | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Mike, I was not trying to attack you. Sometime we do not realized how other people hear/read our words and I was just suggesting, "it seems like, or appears" I gave an example of digital remasters of old David Bowie records that sound much better ... | |
| External Balance Control Kalali there are several passive preamps you could but in line in front of a stand alone amplifier. It is a bad idea to put a volume/balance potentiometer after the amplifier. The absolute best way to do this is with a preamp or integrated amp tha... | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) Lak, If you keep your eyes closed not all that much better. Gadios, I have a yellow 911 and in a way you are right. In my case it is because I am tired of getting rear ended. Anyway most of this is just one more derivation of the 3 or 4 way dynami... | |
| Confused and need help Matt, perhaps it is not your 1.7s that is the problem but one of you other pieces. Ayre is good equipment but it is not knock you over the head better than what you have now. If I were a betting man I would say it is the LS17SE. Check it out!Mike | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Mike, I have not yet spent nearly as much on hi fi equipment as you have but my system is no slouch either. Neither the physical reality or my own listening experience matches yours. The best your ever going to get from a record is 70 db. Most are... | |
| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? Berner, a dipole is a speaker that radiates from both sides out of phase with each other. A bipole is one that radiates from both sides in phase.Both ESLs and planar magnetics like Maggies are dipoles. Bipoles and Dipoles have distinctly different... | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) They are big and ugly for the most part and as Elizabeth noted they missed a few. bdp24 Those wonderful speakers are just not expensive enough which begs the question are any of these worth the money. The horn systems interest me a little in that ... | |
| Honest opinions on my two picks of loudspeakers Shawn, It was the Grateful Dead's wall of sound designed by John Curl.He did use Mac amps but not Mac speakers. It turned out to be too expensive and difficult to move from one venue to the next. But, it was knock out.If you want clean SPLs get th... |
