| New Guy asking for help Earlier in the thread someone suggested listening to the systems of some of your friends, perhaps as a point of reference. This can be helpful, but often dangerous advise!At one point I attempted this same thing. I listened to the systems of sever... | |
| New Guy asking for help Kublakhan, are you out of your mind? "This" will never go with "that" unless you enjoy the shrill screaming of bands like Rush. The biggest problem other than your obvious complete ignorance of this entire hobby, is your equipment rack. The cables... | |
| Vocabulary question Some amplifiers will not have the power reserves to reproduce a sudden burst of musical energy. An amplifier which does possess this reserve power is able to reproduce this difficult passage of music. When the sudden burst of musical energy occurs... | |
| A Tough Question Distortion, I loved your last post. It made me laugh. Say "hi" to the neighbor if you ever see him again!We can have different opinions and still share the same enjoyment!Cheers! | |
| A Tough Question Distortion, that's like the alcoholic who says "I can stop drinking any time I want." Unless you stop there is no real reason to beleive that you can.It is disengenuous to say you are not owned by your possesions, cars wives, homes. They are the c... | |
| A Tough Question I think some of us misunderstand the philosopher (Brad Pitt). That's a joke. The issue is when we buy a 'thing' we now have the responsibilty to use it and care for it. When one buys a '73 Corvette they have to maintain it, they have to wash and p... | |

| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile onhwy61 you could not be more right. I am a small business owner in a non-audio enterprise. The company that does not advertise is the company that is going out of business. If the selfrighteous people who think advertising buys reviews would stop... | |
| Are our own reviews tainted ? Reviewers get equipment from companies by the truckload and often don't know exactly what piece they are getting. When we buy something it has been carefully researched, and usually auditioned, at least in the store or often at home. Sometimes we ... | |
| Audiophile Vs. Techfile Blueswan makes some good points. The fact of the matter is a person is neither a technophile nor an audiophile. I think the person has to be both. They are a "Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde" symbiotic relationship. The technophile typically precedes the au... | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? The most used source is my Turntable. Way behind it is redbook CD and a little behind that is SACD. SACD is lots better than redbook I just don't have that much material. If I can get it on vinyl I would never buy it on plastic! LPs just sound bet... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Rooky, there are lots of people who read the reviews in TAS and Stereophile to scout for the next product that will trinkle down to their price level so they can buy it used next time the company offer the latest "flagship."It's just plain stupid ... |
