| I'm Looking For the Best Even if you do achieve the best I-pod system, there will be a better I-pod system next year. The only way you can truly have the best is if you can also stop time. If you reach that point, please stop time on a Saturday so I am not at work....oh, ... | |
| CD player upgrade/ Arcam vs. Ayre I keep looking around but have seen nothing in the approx. $2,000 price range (used) that would be an apparent improvement over my Muse Model 10. The Model 9 Signature is generally about $1K used, and has a similar sound. You can find Models 10 an... | |
| Am I a burning out audiophile???? I have been spending more time on my mountain and road bikes this summer, and less time thinking about a new preamp......and having more fun. Good call Sammie! | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Aggielaw, thanks for the tip. I have the DNA-500 and I believe there are 8 fuses inside, so I will be very interested to hear what Steve has to say before I spend over $200 on fuses to "improve" the sound of an already excellent sounding amp. | |
| Speaker cable Question? Just to clarify my post, my experience does not coincide with Mr. Sprey's recommendation. My speaker cables are 6 feet long and sound just fine. There are lots of folks happily using 4 ft. speaker cables with monoblock amps. "Dielectric, capacitan... | |
| Speaker cable Question? Audiofeil,The primary source of the 8 ft. minimum speaker cable length wisdom, is Pierre Sprey with Mapleshade. However, there may be others who believe that.Quote from Mapleshade's website: NEVER use speaker cables shorter than 8'. Amazingly, 4'... | |
| restocking fees Businesses are free to set their terms and their prices(within the law), then live with how the market responds. I certainly see the reason for restocking fees, and agree with the practice. If you are not seriously interested in purchasing, you sh... | |
| Your favorite Summertime Top Down Cruising music? You guys are throwing down some great selections, keep em coming. I sort of forgot about Quicksilver, and I haven't heard Captain Beedheart in years. The LA Woman choice is one of my all time favorite cruising CD's, its in my car right now. | |
| CD format war and resultant music players ""Perhaps it would only take 2 versus 5 years for the audio chip to fall into place."""But who would care?" Just a thought, or two. First point is the speed at which computer related technology advances, and second is a glimpse of the (not too dis... | |
| Am I a burning out audiophile???? In college, we just jammed to the music through my Phillips TT/Sansui Receiver/Jensen triax 12 inch homebrew speaker system. Lots of midrange and mid bass. The sound was good, but the music was the thing. Sometimes I wonder if a better system can ... | |
| Starting a high-end audio shop... Am I crazy? To answer your question - yes you are, if you do what you are suggesting.Listen to Elizabeth and Bryanhod, then use all the time you will save by not doing this to enjoy your music, your family, your friends, and whatever else you do to relax and ... | |
| Amp Upgrade for Aerial 10t's To power the Aerials, I believe your best bang for the buck is a big solid state amp. I drive my Aerial 9's with a McCormack DNA 500 which is a great match. While these would not better my McCormack, I have been watching this ad and wondering how ... | |
| Tyler and Acoustic Zen reviews in TAS Bartokfan: my statement, "People no longer need to see the artificially bumped up "list" price to feel good about their purchase of Tyler speakers," is intended to be interpreted as Drseid has, in that the Tyler speakers have proven themselves to ... | |
| Tyler and Acoustic Zen reviews in TAS I found it interesting TAS chose to review the Linbrook System II and not the heart of Tyler's lineup, the Linbrook Signature Monitor or the Linbrook Signature System, which are still reasonably priced and by reports from others do not have the "c... | |
