| What s in front of your chair? I used to use a small ottoman in front of my listening chair, it had a tube frame consisting of a circular base and a single straight tube, with a leather top portion. The accompanying chair had a similar tube frame and circular tube base. Without... | |
| APC Line R 1250, Is it Hazardous? The Line-R is indeed not a UPS, I mis-read the model number. Sorry for the confusion. | |
| Best Integrated Amp Bigcigarman, thanks for a very informative post. Can you tell us a bit more about the associated hardware? I am particularly interested in the speakers you used with the 383 and the Goldmund? | |
| APC Line R 1250, Is it Hazardous? I have been evaluating and using APC units for about 8 years now, in computer applications, and I have learned a few things about them that might be helpful.Almost all APC units are of a type that does not continously regenerate power, this means ... | |
| Proceed, Aragon, Levinson, or other? When I went amp shopping I compared the AMP2 and the Levinson 335, amongst others. It probably needs no explaining that the 335 killed the AMP2 in almost every aspect; soundstage, control, musicality, open-ness, clarity and especially imaging. Pri... | |
| Loudspeaker under 3000 new or used In that price range, but with different equipment driving, I had very good luck with NHT, I bought 2.9 because 3.3 had to be played a bit too loud to sound great. | |
| Anybody else wanna pull their hair out ? Sounds like compared to some of you, my system was simple. With a bit of planning and one of those nifty handheld label makers, plus about 5 trips to the store to get the missing pieces of cable, I now have everything marked and working. End resul... | |
| Techno Anyone? Yup, techno is very interesting stuff; lots of times, even bad techno is interesting to listen to for a while. One of the test CD's I take with me when I audition stuff is a compilation I made that includes Beethoven, Madonna, Moby, Radiohead and ... | |
| DTS or Dolby Digital? I notice that quite a few of the DTS DVD's I have actually do have the high 1.5Mb sampling rate. To me, they sound better than DD at 384K. I also have some DVD's that have both a DTS and DD soundtrack, with DTS running at lowe bit rate. It still s... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Hmmm... Dvorzak's New World Symphony, Handel's Water Music, Beethoven's 9th and 1812 overture do the job for me if I am trying to feel better...And sometimes, I'm just so down and gloomy that Urban Hymns by the Verve, The Man Who by Travis (Specia... | |

| Consumer Alert PS300 actual voltage The 5v difference is minimal, and well within the margin your equipment would find acceptable. You should also be careful with the faith you put in your volt meter readings; almost all inexpensive meters will do fine when meassuring a sine wave th... | |
| Out of Control I guess it would be worth adding that IMHO, there are $50,000 houses that are preferable over $300,000 houses, there are $20,000 cars that are prefereable over $50,000 ones, and there are $19 jeans that are nicer to wear than $200 ones.... I also ... | |
| Out of Control Pcc et all,Of course there is over the top. As long as people are willing to pay over the top prices, there will be; no matter whether it's audio, cars, houses, clothing, food, you name it. Image and Marketing are everything.A question that is int... | |
| State of the Art? I don t care anymore. This is an interesting subject. I guess for me this has always been about the music. I have improved my system as I saw the need to better experience the music and as budget allows. The system I have now is my first 'high end' system by most defin... |
