Todays Raido Stations suck
That's the same thing your parents said!!! 
Ok this will be a good thread.
The most important feature in the listening experience is and always has been the imagination! No music will ever sound as good as a concert or the event in the studio. The desire to be lied to has more to do with enjoyment than even the source, a... 
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
Socrates says that Krell owners are sensetive and any response they make to people who denegrate their equipment of choice is motivated by childishness. It's fine for him and other Krell bashers to conduct their attacks while anyone who responds i... 
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
I have listened to, and owned several amps over the last few years. The first amp I owned was a Rotel. I don't remember the model. This was around 1989. I replaced that with a JVC M2020 which was a much better sounding class A amp. When that began... 
Best small speaker
The Sony SS M7a would impress you more than the B&W 805's. They are a stand mounted speaker with very good sound and a decent soundstage. See my review if you are interested. I don't use mine anymore, but the review is accurate!They can be fou... 
Placement of Salons to maximize soundstaging
I don't have Salons but I have listened to them and I like them a lot.I would visit "Rives" website. www.rivesaudio.com Their program allows you enter the dimensions of your room and the speaker type. Then it will give you a suggested location for... 
Cardas Interconnect Placement
Herman, nice system! I was not neccesarily refering to you in my comments. There are some people who use the forums to ridicule everyone that does not agree with, or own all the same gear as them. These are some of the people who have even gone so... 
Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K
I wish I had time top be fair with this question. Since the sound of live music is not obtainable at $250,000 I doubt that it would be at $1000. Gotta get back to work before I get fired, then nothing would be obtainable. 
Are You Satisfied?
This is difficult to answer since I am very happy with my system now, but I still plan to upgrade.I don't think I have anything right now that is not GOOD, but all of it could be better. I don't have any pressing urge to replace any particular pie... 
Cardas Interconnect Placement
The fun of playing here is the dorks with their stupid answers! Some people know everything and want to pass that knowledge on to you. When you disagree just laugh at them, since they deserve to be laughed at!Anyway, the best results I have experi... 
Re-mastered LP question
Was this first LP pre-RIAA? The reason for going to the RIAA standard was to allow for more bass in recordings.Since bass notes require more groove space the RIAA curve was developed. Your phono-stage compensates for the the reduced bass frequenci... 
"Junk" LP listings on audiogon - get rid of 'em
As long as it doesn't cost anything here and it's easier than Ebay we're going to have people selling the scorpion's and slayer LPs.I don't mind the listings, but it seems to me there was better material here before.JMO 
Speaker priority: high or low???
I bought new speakers a month or so ago. I purchased a pair of Sony SS M9 full range speakers. They are American made and designed. I think they sound great since I have good electronics driving them. They are much better than their smaller siblin... 
What's more important; sound or brand name?
I don't think the virtually universally condemnation of bose speakers is related to anything other than the fact they haven't made a good speaker since the early 70's. The market their junk very well, but they don't make quality products anymore. ... 
When did it all start?
Why, what does a dumb young kid know??? Maybe all the talk about them seemed like they were still together. Remember this was my intro!I do remember hearing about Jim Morrison dying though... then the DJ played 'Riders on the Storm.' Or maybe I ju...
