| How much are beats headphones and the sound? I've heard them and they are not worth the asking price. I'd rate them as a $75 headphone for people who are not serious about their music. WAY too bass heavy with a so-so midrange. For the money, there are lots of better options out there. Check ... | |
| Does this speaker exist? Tonian Labs TL-D1s. They come on strong at low volumes. If your upstream equipment is resolving enough it will unravel the music beautifully.Tone, timbre and highs are there in spades: Make sure to properly seat them onto something good as there i... | |
| Are some of us losing our minds over upgrades?? When something is built to a price point, a mod can make sense. When something is a result of the manufacturer modding their own line with better parts and circuit revisions, it makes less sense as most of the work is already done.Sony has reintro... | |

| Solid Maple vs Butcher Block Do they make footers for couches and chairs? | |
| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration SuunyJim,I knew bookmarking this would come in handy some day:http://www.supersoundproofingsales.com/products.asp?dept=25They have any size you'll ever need.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Solid Maple vs Butcher Block I don't know about that. I found some of those flat metal discs with the indent for placing the point of the spike in to keep from damaging floors and now I have a more even handed result: I've gotten back the high end air and sparkle without the ... | |
| Solid Maple vs Butcher Block Sidssp,Funny you should say that. Replacing the stone tile with the bamboo cutting board raised the speaker about and inch, at best. It seemed to dial back ever so slightly the upper end and at the same time introduce me to a better defined midran... | |
| The Marantz Pipeline Arcamguy,I'm with you when it comes to digital music and feel, from personal experience, that it takes more money and effort to get comparable sound with what I have now and even more to get better sound. I gave up on it after getting my feet wet ... | |
| Solid Maple vs Butcher Block Opps! I just noticed that you have carpeted floors so forget about the cork footers or Herbies stuff placed under the maple block. Sorry.Depending on how thick your carpets are, you may be able to get away with just a heavy maple block laying flat... | |
| Solid Maple vs Butcher Block Timbernation uses butcher block for their racks and they work just fine. If your speakers aren't that heavy, I'd go for something as thin as 1" with some of those cork footers or something from Herbies Audio Lab between the floor and the maple blo... | |
| I need a new TV That's a great deal being offered to you by the local dealer. Calibration can run as high as $300 by Magnolia, not to mention they charge $200 more for the same TV. If they can match the price, then it's a toss up. Maybe someone who knows more can... | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Once again our eyes are off the ball. Snowden is a side story. He is one of several, recent whistleblowers that have come forward. As far back as the Viet Nam war, our RP-2E (a variant of the P-2 Neptune) scooped all electronic info, in country, i... | |
| why no recent Merlin speaker reviews? It could be they had their day in the sun and other, new-kid-on-the-block products are crowding them out. It's a big playing field out there and only so many refs.All the best,Nonoise | |
| I need a new TV I love my Samsung 7000 series plasma, especially on blu-ray or anything in hi def. Having said that, in the intervening 8 months LCDs have made some great strides. My last visit to Best Buy afforded me the chance to see a newer Samsung LCD that ha... |
