| Are we music lovers or gear lovers? Ohala - there is no such thing as audiophile-taste music, and don't try to put a name on it. | |
| Great Spooky &/or Melancholic Soundtrack/Classical The soundtrack for "Nosferatu" (Werner Herzog, 1978 I believe) done by Popol Vuh should bring some serious laid-back tinglesand chills. | |
| Speakers for Rock Klipsch Forte 2's or Klipsch Chorus 2's. Horn mids/tweetsand 12" woofer/15" passive radiator (Forte 2), 15" woofer/15" passive radiator (Chorus 2). Mate these with a smooth-sounding copper speaker cable like Anaylsis Plus oval 9 or oval 12, and yo... | |
| Time for a new turntable...... I was going to tell you to wait for TWL's response... damn, am I slow! Maybe I'll wind up there someday - (TWL, I read 'cause I need ; ) MMF 2.1 here, good, but tons of room to grow!!! )chuckles, | |
| B&K ST2140 or Odyssey Stratos 150? Stehno hasn't heard the ST140, or the M200s, so his quick use of the mid-fi tag seems fairly liberal to me. These are super amps, and as Upstateaudio pointed out, they do differ (in my opinion, significantly) from the newer B&K's. If someone b... | |
| Affordable cables Goertz is a fine recommendation. You could also consider Nordost Solar Wind or Audioquest Type 4+. Kimber 8tc, and DH labs Silver Sonic T14 also. Someone here had a LAT International pair for sale a few days ago, might check that out as well. $100... | |
| RadioShack outlets VS. Panamax. FWIW, you can get a decent price for your Panamax on Ebay. Around here, not sure what the demand is. | |
| System Setup Some people will say that some digital cables require a certain length for best performance (some are more error-prone in .5m or 1.0m, and recommend longer lengths like 1.5m or 2m). How much of this is true, I don't know, but I imagine it varies b... | |
| Design an entire system for $800? ? I second the Acoustic Energy EVO 1's. Great line, great value. Just used EVO 3's in a system for someone else. | |
| Design an entire system for $800? ? Twl, you could have saved us all this time if you'd just posted earlier. I hear that plastic clips softly, and produces mainly even-order harmonics. And the slate-blue color option is currently "in", fits nicely into period homes, etc. The classic... | |
| Design an entire system for $800? ? I concur with buying used, especilly just starting. Honestly, you just can't kill some of this stuff, it's so well made. But in keeping with the original post:Sound Dynamics RTS3's can regularly be had for $150 new, or demo - AA is a big seller of... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? Bufus - not attacking the poster, hehe... some hoodlum killed dub legend King Tubby during a robbery. Rough place - they'd kill you for your stereo system ; ) | |
| Anyone else like to Listen in the Dark? Most of the best things in life happen in the dark. Of course I do! | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? Same dude that got King Tubby. Assh*le. | |
| Has your system changed the music you listen to? If you look at high-end audio as a "platform", it certainly seems there's alot of audiophile-grade recordings of jazz and so on as proper "software" for it. Catalogs like Mapleshade etc. certainly favor jazz, blues, classical etc. - the availabili... |
