| wave a magic wand and poof...the stereo disappears hi plato, i think you have misinterpreted what i said.if i lost my main stereo system, i would revert to my $350 personal stereo as described above. i can certainly enjoy music in that context. until you have listened to it you have no idea whethe... | |
| How do I decide on a CD player or adding a dac? perhaps your fatigue is caused by the amp, passive preamp, cables and/ or room ?i think a tube component or 2 might help inspite of the costs of tubes. tubes do last a while, especially NOS. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? the soul is in the listener not the music.the listener is the most important variable, more so than the music or the equipment. | |
| How do you have your Droplet cdp hooked up? if i had a droplet. i wouldn't hook it up at all. i would stare at it and use another cd player. after a while, i would sell the droplet.....just kidding, but i have been told that the player is very revealing and if your system or sources are not... | |

| Have you seen any CABLE measurement tests? hi Pableson, are you saying that cables which measure "better" sound "better" ? are you saying a person listening blind will usually prefer a cable which measures better than another cable ?are you saying you can predict the "sound" of a cable, ag... | |
| I'm thinking that youngsters are getting burned . herman, instead of buying the merceds, by a kia and donate the difference to charity.i beleive in value, if you are paying more than something is worth, you should buy something else even though you can afford the more expensive and overpriced item. | |

| wave a magic wand and poof...the stereo disappears i would use the radio, or my $350 Brookstone stereo. what it is a pair of nxt tweeter, an upright cd player, and a bass driver. you can get am/fm and feed a high level input using rca cables. the bass driver is amplified. if this were gone, id use... | |
| Have you seen any CABLE measurement tests? measurements do not necessarily correlate to observed sound.all relevant parameters are not measured. there are other factors and component interactions that make it impossible to predict results of cable performance, given cable measurements. | |
| What would you buy next? hi nuguy, could you do me a favor and define warm sound ?i use the term and so do many others. i have a feeling that serious hobbyists have difffering concepts of warmth.the source is the lowest level signal and should be replaced first. if you wa... | |
| Audiophiles and apartments: Oil and water? one solution is to find a pair of speakers which sound good at low volume levels.as it happens i don't play music loud and live in a one family house. | |
| help me spend money-which high end speakers? have you considered electrostatic speakers, full range or hybrid, clearly an option if you are considering magnepan mg 20.1 . | |
| wht is the difference between good and bad sound ? ok 9rw you win. my next post will not be silly, academic or philosophical.i don't think ideas are crazy, but perhaps of interest in an academic environemnt, hence not so practical. still, it is interesting to discuss the abstract once in a while. | |
