Is high end audio to snooty for its own good?
Pick any hobby and you'll find those who enjoy it for the pleasure and those who feel the need for to take it to another level. It gives them a sense of purpose, I guess.All the best,Nonoise 
Sell or save
You can try Craigslist or USAudiomart for a free listing and the option for cash and carry, avoiding any fees. For something inexpensive, it really doesn't make sense to incur fees if you can avoid it. The only caveat is those two sites don't get ... 
When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
Only if they could resurrect Zero Mostel to team with Gene Wilder.. 
When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
Rap reminds me of the Beatniks, I didn't like them either. Both are like some sort of word association for the uninitiated in their respected crafts. Then, again, I was too young to appreciate the Beatniks and am now too old to appreciate Rap. The... 
R.I.P. David Bowie
I was taken aback from the news this morning. Ziggy Stardust was one of my favorite albums when young. I saw him when he made a guest appearance with Morrissey and he got the place to it's feet. The stage just got a bit smaller.All the best,Nonoise 
If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you
If you were to count from one to 1.3 billion (estimated amount next time around) at a second for each count, it would take over 43 years to finish.  That's too much for one person when you think of it. Screw this winner take all mentality we have ...

ZU event (version 1) speaker cables on sale/closeout
The highs have opened up some more, losing the softness, allowing even more air and clarity but with not a hint of etch or digital glare. Brass shines and cymbals are very realistic. You can tell if it’s a direct hit or a glancing strike of the st...

ZU event (version 1) speaker cables on sale/closeout
I put the cables in last night and all I can say is I like what I'm hearing so far. Right out of the box they offer more insight and clarity in the mids.  Though a bit softer sounding in the highs, they are more expressive and airy, and the bass h... 
Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp?
Like the last two posts, I agree that it may be your source. The amp, cables and speakers can only reproduce what is sent through and to them. I had the biggest improvement in bass response going from a CD player to a SACD player (better built, mo... 
What Color is your system
Black, Indian Rosewood and maple. Wonderful contrast that mimics one of the better qualities of music reproduction.All the best,Nonoise 
Why I prefer gear that is made domestically
Taters your are a navel gazing factory my man!It's been a long time since I've guffawed.  
Why are people always getting into pissing matches because they think what they have is better
Can it be that our attempts at improving our systems are the same as "repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"?[url=Its a MADHOUSE! (Planet of the Apes, 1968) - Edited - YouTube] 
Remind me again why...
I think systems, once settled in, remain the constant in the equation with the power delivery side (peak hours, late night, amount imbibed, etc) being one of the biggest factors in how it will sound along with mental attitude and quality of pressi...
