| Dumb break in question... My master bedroom and listening room, are at opposite ends of the house, so besides keeping my gear on 24 / 7, I leave my FM tuner playing through the system, 24 / 7, as I find the system sounds better and more consistent this way, for when I am r... | |
| Modern Fusion - worth a Listen - Aaron Parks So much great music stated above. I, too, am not sure how far we are going back, but Weather Report's " Heavy Weather ", played a significant role, with my intense lust for Jazz / Fusion. I was in the audio business when it was released, and it wa... | |
| Power Amplifiers Sold 75 % of my amp collection within the last 3 years, but still have a dozen or so lying around, all being occasionally rotated in and out, most of them tweaked up a bit. ADA, Soundcraftsmen, Hafler, GAS, Yamaha Pro, Citation, Adcom, Nuforce ( S... | |
| Bose 901 As I mentioned in my 1st post, I am very familiar with the set up of the 901s, as I was professionally tutored by a Bose staff member, of the delicacies and details of proper set up, and, the importance of a high quality, high output power amplifi... | |
| Bose 901 richopp, if you do not understand plugging a speaker into an electrical outlet, instead of an output stage of an amplifier ( using an ac plug, instead of spades or banana plugs at the amp end ), I do not know what to tell you. Comparing an old tra... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 Stereo5, I made the comment, based on another poster's description, which I repeated above, and questioned. She deleted her post, because I called her out on it. I do not feel I bashed McIntosh, in this particular instance, and you, are not asking... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 I need to ask a question. Since when, does Mcintosh have lightning fast dynamics, and a high damping factor ? None that I have heard, and I sold, and installed them, for years. My buddy has a 452, and I would not describe it that way at all. It is... | |
| Bose 901 2 points......try plugging your speakers into an electrical outlet, and see what happens. Maggies ? Do some things well, however, compromised in many ways. Radio Shack Minimus 7s ? Before, or after, a crossover rebuild ? Ignorance is bliss.... | |
| Bose 901 Terrible ? Really ? I am sure, many here, who are downplaying the 901s, never heard them, set up optimally, with upgraded cables, to and from the eq, with the proper ss amp, to drive them, and, did not know, or understand, what dynamics, and scale... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers The fact that they are 17 years old, should not matter, imo. However, after that long, I would agree, that you have an itch to try something else. I have heard the uno’s, gen 1, on several occasions, and the only weakness I can detect, was a dispa... | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" The cd is selling on the Bay, new, for under $5, inclusive with shipping. I do not stream yet ( I am still looking into it ), but the cd, sounds good on my system. The music....., wow. I know it is a very processed studio album, but as I said many... | |
| Bose 901 I have installed many pairs of these ( the 901 came in series 1 thru 6 throughout it's time ) in my early days of audio, and owned a pair, connected to a modified GAS Ampzilla amplifier. I suspended them from the ceiling, in all cases ( inverted, ... | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" This recording, is where, Santana is now, after 50 years of doing his thing. If you are a Santana fan, I would be surprised, if you do not like this, to some extent. If you do not like it, because : it is compressed; it is not " Africa " enough fo... | |
| I need to upgrade my amp but it sounds really good. (Wife in corner shaking her head) I have heard your Silverlines on a few occasions when they were introduced. Get an opportunity to listen to the Klipsch Cornwall IV, as they will sing with your system. Full disclosure : I am partial to Klipsch Heritage, especially at their price ... | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" Well, I listened to Africa Speaks, again, in it's entirety, and what is amazing to me, unlike many here, I enjoyed the music, the playing, the melodies, the harmonies, the song structures, the interplay between the musicians, the creativity of wha... |
