| Another room treatment convert Great advise and I agree completely! Taking this one step further...Some of us have gotten great results using non-descript, domestically approved, household furnishings. No need to buy expensive treatments if you have some control over domestic f... | |
| Buying HiFi at credit, anyone? Beheme, "Paying cash is one of the most certain way to building no asset and eventually going broke". ROTFLMAO! But, then again, who might I be but just a symplistic newbie. I shouldn't expect other more sophisticated folks, like you, to decode wh... | |
| Can tube amps give true high end bass? "How can a 40wt tube amp give better bass than Krell 450 mono's"Perhaps its how you define 'bass', perhaps its a personal preference for a 'fuller' sound as opposed to a 'tighter' sound. Perhaps its just plain electrical synergy with your speakers... | |
| Suggestion for preamp - Spendor's & Cary You think you haven't realized the capabilities of the Spendor's. In exactly what regard?If you are happy with the detail and soundstage you now have then what else exists other the power? Do you listen at high volume?FWIW Cary tube amps, if they ... | |
| Need advice for full range speaker with bottom end To add to Duke's comments, consider whether your room can support speaker output down to 20hz or keep the extra hz's under control. A speaker that rolls at 32hz can be a blessing in a lot of rooms. FWIW. :-)P.S. It just dawns on me to ask - Are yo... | |
| PS Audio? Rega? Benchmark? With regard to the Benchmark (which I've never heard) are you aware that amoung the early advocates for this unit was a reviewer, as I recall it ws John Marks, in later review devalued his opinion some by a subsequent inforsement of the Grado DAC ... | |
| Buying HiFi at credit, anyone? "I just wanted to see if some folks who buy ....."Why wouldn't they? If they have the cash there should be no difference, an intelligent manager of personal finances would always pay cash. If they don't have the cash and chose to finance either ca... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Ctm_cra, You guys apparently spent a lot of time eliminating as much of the varibles involved in blind A/B testing, but I remain curious about a couple of things I have always felt might affect the outcome. The first issue is stereo imaging. One o... | |
| Best speakers for near rear wall placement? If your friend doesn't listen at loud levels he might be best served by getting small speakers with a high bass roll off and supplement these with a sub woofer. Not optimum, but it could solve the bass reinforcement most all floor standers will ex... | |
| Buying HiFi at credit, anyone? IMHO, its no better or worse than buying most anything on long term credit that doesn't appreciate with time, such as homes, so long as you're not taking food out of someone's mouth or clothes off their back. I can't believe that folks buy very ex... | |
| Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's? "If you can get beyond their appearance". LOL. My cats have been lobbying for these speakers ever since I put my Quad 63's away. :-) | |
| glass shelves under components? My preference for most effective electronics isolation is to use sorbothane directly between the component and the shelf. I ditched the cones long ago - they are metal and metal transmits high frequency vibrations from shelves. Glass would be a wo... | |
| Hi-Fi Lingo and What we should be listening for Itball, Good examples! It might be fun to start a new thread with just nonsensical terms as the subject.BTW, FWIW, re comments on detail and brightness, don't overlook that the naturalness of the decay in a signal goes a long way towards establish... | |
| Looking for opinions on Prima Luna Prologue 6 &7 I've been looking for some user comments as well as I could use the extra power and improvement over the bass in the PL5 which I have in combo with a PL3. I've read both the review of the 6 and the 7 in Absolute Sound and Stereophile. I tend to th... | |
| problems with 24 bit cd players FWIW Herman (and others), I suspect that MrT's search for a unique product, one with a tonal response that is an anethema to modern audiophile ears, is nothing more or less than the creation of a 'soap box' for him to stand on while he shouts for ... |
