| Are the online zines killing print mags in audio? the tendency is for US manufacturers to sell overseas as a greater percent of their revenue, than domestically.there are more companies going direct now than 10 years ago. | |
| panel speaker purchase hi terry:i almost bought one of the models from analysis audio but didn't because of distribution issues. at this point i will probably wait to hear the martin logan clx, the replacement for the cls 2z. expected release date is early 2008.i also w... | |
| it all sounds good, but..... the only thing that sounds real is real. don't expect reality from a stereo system. listen to live music, preferably unamplified.a signal travels through a microphone, microphone cable, recording device, media, then it travels through some compone... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? while one may have the opportunity to buy the best preamp. the best preamp only exists in one's mind, not in reality.best is a value judgement, determined by criteria devised by an individual. another individual may devlop a different set of facto... | |
| Aurum Cantus leisure 2 SE VS Sonus Faber Guarneri why can't you compare two speakers? each has its strengths and weaknesses. discussing them in the same sentence is not a waste of time. price and quality are not necessarily correlated. | |
| NEW SONY BLU RAY CD QUALITY why not buy one, with return privileges, and listen for yourself ? | |
| I've reached the beginning of the end - I hope upgrading need not be an addiction. it is possible that some of us are searching for a "sound" which we have not found. most commercially available components provide an unrealistic presentation of timbre. thus,it takes time, effort and money to f... | |
| Why are we so passive? does a manufacture who is a speaker designer necessarily have a good ear ? he may select an amp which creates an unbalanced frequency response. when it comes to audio or life, one size (sound) does not fit all.if i like set amps, and like a speake... | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object asking a question about what is the best, when the answer is subjective, is really a rhetorical question.what is the value of a specific answer ? | |
| Why are we so passive? i agree with you kr4. audiophiles sometimes get bored with the sound of their stereo systems. replacing the amp and/or the speaker cable is an obvious way to change the sound. further, active speakers are generally limited to "box" designs. i have... | |

| reimyo dap 777 i have tried wood blocks made of different materials, such as maple, ebony, etc. . i have settled on cocobolo wood. it is worth a trip to a large lumber yard and investing say, $50 on a variety of wood to find the one which suits your taste.i have... | |
| Leave an amp "on" permanetly i use ps audio noise harvesters. at night 4 of them are blinking. when the temparture is over 80 degrees, i really have a problem. air conditioners are in use,their is a greater demand for electricity and the sound often degrades.perhaps a hydra o... | |
| Leave an amp "on" permanetly hi mcpody:i don't mind a good ribbing now and then. i have a psaudio p 300 for source components, but nothing for my tube amps.i have been dissuaded from using a conditioner with an amplifier.have you had any experiences with one ? | |
| Dissapointed buyer, item malfunctions experience? there is another way to deal with this problem.let the buyer audition the product in the seller's stereo system. of course this restricts the customer base of buyers, but it reduces the risk of d.o.a . |
