| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? Hifiman5, Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what it was I said since it was the closest (in the broadest sense) to what would be political when it was never my intention. I missed the deletion and now I feel... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... Good point. :-) | |
| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? How is the discussion of market research "political"?We're talking about taste and it's proportion to an audience sufficient to justify the costs of offering more than one color, which is obviously in line with the OP's topic.I see dead subject ma... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... So if every amp maker, regardless of type, were to make their amps to some same exacting spec, to the point where a fuse or cable wouldn't make a lick of difference, then all amps would sound the same. Wouldn't they? If so, then we could all go to... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... Both have their drawbacks. Sheep are disorganized and require herding dogs (German Shepherds, Collies, Rottweiler, etc.) while stewardess are unionized but they do tend to favor the smaller dogs. Much to ponder.... | |
| Audiogon Site Pop-Ups Also a nice bread. | |
| Scientists create mettalic hydrogen: first use should be audio cables! I saw that too and it's amazing but a Forbes article says it's only been done once and that the shinning of the metal can be a by product of the diamond vice grip shedding it's material. There will always be nay-sayers until it's duplicated by oth... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... When using sheep I've found it best to stay clear of the Merino, English Leicester, Shetland and Awassi breed as they tend to seriously over damp the sound, while the Lleyn, Charollais, Wiltshire, Shropshire and Hampshire tend offer the best compr... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... I used to drape an old army wool blanket over my TV flat screen since it sits between my speakers and it does make an improvement but I've gotten so lazy that I stopped doing it. The trick is to not overdo it. Case in point: I replaced an overstuf... | |
| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? A lot of research goes into what’s best for which market. Different colors denote different tastes, outlooks and preferences. Unfortuantely, black is considered a bad-ass color associated with aggressiveness, dominance, soldiery, stealthiness, nin... | |
| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? Never judge an audio device by it's cover. | |
| audiogon message in spam folder :-) Thanks ebm, I giggled like a school girl. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? All of this dancing on the head of the pin and there’s still MORE room to relive the same arguments that seemed to have been settled many, many threads ago. As this titanic thread sinks painfully into icy waters to a (justifiably) certain death, o... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? hifiman5,Yes, every situation is unique and must be addressed accordingly.I just wish everyone lived downline from some local dam using hydroelectric turbines for around the clock power. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Agreed-WAY too much angst here. I should have not generalized as some people get some really crappy power but for me, I've found that just going into the wall with my amp gets me the best sound. Everything else goes in a power conditioner. Even ta... |
