| Monitors that play huge Don't overlook the Atohm line of speakers, especially the GT-1.0http://www.audiowaveshifi.com/atohm.htmI heard these at the Newport Audio Show and they simply floored me with their bass and room filling sound, not to mention their overall presenta... | |
| Why we should support music... I'm with you Newbee. Home audio can be a strange concept to the uninitiated. Even after they've heard my system, and liked it, music is not that big a component in their lives. I feel bad for them.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Made in America Bifwynne,I hear you. Before 2000 our unemployment rate was around 5% and we had a surplus. By the end of 2008 we closed and moved overseas 60,000 plants and laid off over 5 million workers. All one hears is of the unnecessary and onerous burdens p... | |
| Do you ever just listen to music Jaxwired,No problem. I was just splitting hairs semantically but agree with what you say.I should wait and think before posting. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Do you ever just listen to music Jazwired, Granted, it took all of us some time to settle on our 'final' system but the OP simply asked if we were in the same boat as him: enjoying our systems.The allusion you refer too didn't seem that implicit (at all) to me but I get what YOU ... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please I have no expertise with tube preamps but I've heard this one many times and for long periods and it' the most realistic and convincing I've heard: the Messenger Pre Amp.http://www.acousticimage.com/MessengerPreamp.shtmlIt hasn't changed much over... | |
| Do you ever just listen to music All I ever listen for is enjoyment. Some times there's a modicum of pride as I revel in what I've assembled. I've stopped critiquing a long time ago.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred? I'd go for whatever well made class A/B integrated sounds best for you. You'll get the bass you want from the class D amps you mentioned but I don't see you getting the warmth you want.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Does fair trade still exist Samsung has been using what it calls a "Unilateral Pricing Policy" or UPP. They dictate what the price will be and all retailers follow suit. It can vary every few days depending on sales.I thought it strange, at first, until I kept up with the ad... | |
| When speakers almost sound like the instruments We all take different paths to that goal of dialing in our speakers. What drew me to my present set was the fact that they sounded so much like instruments from the very beginning. A change of amps, CDP and wires along the way just helped to heigh... | |
| Correct way to burn in a new CD/SACD player Play away. I, for one, like to hear the improvements made during break in.It's fun to see how much I can detect as it breaks in.All the best.Nonoise | |
| Made in America I can be just as guilty as the next guy when it comes to buying American made goods. Not always, as I'll seek out the best quality when I'm paying the bill.Let's face it. Most of American made goods are made overseas (and down south) in factories ... | |
| Hook up Plasma TV to Audio system I was anticipating the same as you when I got my new Plasma as I thought the speakers wouldn't be good enough for casual listening. For HT (blu ray) I simply run the OPPO directly to my integrated.If all you have is a Toslink audio out, you can tr... | |
| Music player vs server; Auraliti vs Sonore vs W4S Have you tried reading up on all you can at http://www.computeraudiophile.com/?The author of the site, Chris, has extensively covered what you're looking into.He's even made his own music server, the C.A.P.S. 2.0 from the best parts that are readi... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? Pettyofficer,This is too much despair for me. I quit. I will go the way of others who have met you and left this topic of discussion.All the best,Nonoise |
