| Hale Rev 3s More direct experience would make for an better answer, but I will state that if Krell watts are like Classe and NAD watts, then 50 in to 8 is not enough for Hales floorstanders. The bass and soundstage size will be poor. I'm not sure about the th... | |
| $500 mini system suggestions, Bose need not apply I would think the Wave would be quite appropriate, but I'd defer to others in her field instead of audiophiles. | |
| Best Preamp under $1000-need 2 sets of RCA outs I really like my ~$500-used Counterpoint SA-2000. It is hybrid with (two) buffered pre outs, so it can easily mate with SS amps. | |
| Terminology? Medulla Oblongata is the lower part of the brain stem. Its main function is to connect brain and spinal cord, so be careful with it.Resident Psyc nerd, | |
| 5 best underrated or unknown bands and why? These really are just opinions in a thread that's for fun. No big deal. | |
| What is your favorite low-tech tweek? Its been beaten to death, but I really like what the Ikea LACK table does for the cost of a CD. AudioQuest's binding post wrench is really nice for $10.Rsbeck came up with a good one, maybe the best one. Listening at night at the end of the body's... | |
| 5 best underrated or unknown bands and why? I am also not sure If Ben will put if the cuffs on me, but be on the lookout for Dallas' own, Polyphonic Spree. Their Christmas party was one of the best shows I've seen, and their popularity is rising quickly. | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? Although I still gravitate to particular rock subtypes, I have a few albums that I bought directly from being an audiophile. I have also gotten more in to classical and some of the more acoustic music in general that is more common amoung audiophi... | |
| Do you really need ultra expensive cables? Sorry, rhetorical question that has little to do with Tributaries specifically. Just take it as a minor compliment. | |
| Do you really need ultra expensive cables? I've owned $100 pair of Tributaries silver coated copper ICs. I found them to have good bandwidth, quality on par with PBJ, but very warm and slow to be quite forgiving. In resolution if nothing else, they were no match for AQ Ruby or my other mor... | |
| Do you really need ultra expensive cables? It seems to me, not like I was at HE, the 3% cables was partially motivated by marketing. And I like what Brianmgrarcom posted. Anyone can use cheap cables and make it nice and musical (la-di-da), but why would anyone care to have their cables be ... | |
| Paradigm 100 v.2 /Sonus Faber Signum/ Martin logan I have a strong opinion that the SL3 is quite superior to the 100, especially in resolution and easy to listen to delightfulness. Paradigms are more of a listening struggle. That's just my opinion, and you should know that I don't like Paradigm St... | |
| Rock Music: 1951-1976 vs. 1977-2003 There are a lot more rock bands post '77 than pre, but the quality seems more diluted? That's my perception anyways, but time has acted as a filter for me. Comparing a number of the best bands from pre and post, I'd say the differences in quality ... | |
| Hale Rev 3s That's very exciting. I would be surprised if the the extra power did not help with your imaging problem. Have fun. | |
| How to not stub your toe -in Your own logic should be sufficient to figure it out. Considering the variables, guidelines aren't particularly as beneficial as common sense. I'd suggest maybe get a laser-light to equalize toe-in between the speakers. Get a cubic one, so the las... |
