| The Cost of Cables Calloway..not sure what you are trying to say? To be quite honest, I don't believe any of these cables companies started with huge R&D money and venture capital. I can only chuckle thinking of an individual starting with an idea going to meet ... | |
| The Cost of Cables I really like this post, kudos to all for not letting this degenerate as so many posts have! I think it is really telling, as jcmorgan notes, that none of the people truly in the know are talking....with all the mfrs and dealers who are members of... | |
| Recommended in-wall Speakers? Linn Sekrets, make them active at a later date and you have some really fun, pretty transparent inwalls. | |
| Linn -- one generation ago Having owned Linn for 15 years, and having a classic di in the bedroom and Linn surround in my living room even now, here's what I would do..Linn Karik/Numeric..i have seen them used as a pair for under 2k, very good pace, very musical, I still ha... | |
| The Cost of Cables Okay, my two cents. I used to sell this stuff once upon a time and there were HUGE markups on cartridges and also cables, but especially low end cartridges, like at least 200%. In general as the retail got higher, the margins got smaller. Margins ... | |
| Tube amp vs. speakers I should change my audiogon to "audio research vT100mk2 or 3" because I think it is probably just enough for those speakers, and is more than reasonable used. | |
| Amp to go with Emm dcc2 se and wilson sophias I have a cheaper alternative.. Audio Research VT100 MKII used less than 3k... it was a great match with various watt pupppies I owned. Should be a really really nice match | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor Dapom, yes they are. Her feeling is that I work my butt off, I take care of her, I get speakers. Although, she was so not crazy about the new 9011's..that is..until I played her some Elton John on it.. now the "coffins" are just fine:) | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor ohhh one other thing. I don't tell my wife what the equipment costs, but, I never ask what she does with HER paycheck...seems to work for us | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor I would divorce your sister-in-law. My bedroom has all kind of frilly crap, 18 pillows, I have 1/4 of the closet, and she has totally invaded my office, and wife and the designer put my Wayne Gretsky/Gordie Howe autographed pic in my office bathro... | |
| ARC Reference 210s vs MBL 9008 mono amps On mbl101e's, I found the arc's missing a bit of info on orchestras, a bit congested,,,loved the soundstage though. Love female voice, but, needed a subwoofer for the base. Listened to both 9008,9011, arc ref210, halcro dm-88 (worlds better than t... | |
| Best speakers for off-axis listening :) mbl01e's of course | |
| Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh 1. It is really hard to do good bass without compromising other things... ie changing the toe-in to get good non-lumpy bass and then having imaging and soundstaging suffer.2. Once I feel like you have good bass, it varies so much from recording to... | |
| VTL S400 or Siegfried Thanks! Halcro dm88 was on my shortlist too. | |
| mbl fan club One other comment I forgot. The importer, Peter Alexander has been beyond helpful, quick responding and a true gentleman. Couldn't ask for more!Cheers!Chris |
