| How much does your system retail for? Whoa, I figured the median to about $10-15k. Mine is $5200, retail, soon to be around $7k with the addition of a turntable. I'm still just a college student though, so i can wear my audio insanity with pride. | |
| Cryogenic Tempering I would be pretty surprised if cryogenics didn't do anything. I forgot the name, but there is, or at least was, a company that offers this service to the public. They freeze engine blocks, brass instruments, etc. for around $50 depending on the si... | |
| What temperature is your cartridge????? That's cool, Albert. I thought you used that light just so you could see what you were doing :) I should have known there was some sonic motivation involved | |
| What causes listener fatique? cure? I think most speakers in that price range will spare you the drilling highs. In my experience the culpret is usually the electronics. I'm sure there are speakers, however that are more forgiving of bright electronics. Magnepan and Ruark come to mi... | |
| what are the best 4 ohms speakers out?? Interesting approach. There's a lot electrostatics with low impedence, but because it varies with the frequency i don't think a nominal 4 ohm will get you much farther than 6. The difference in loudness probably won't compensate for how much you'r... | |
| Will Audio Research D115 drive Hales? I too have a pair of Rev twos. I'm using an SS amp with 75 in to 8, so the juice delivered is somewhere in the 100 watt range. 100 is enough to play loud, but not with the same smoothness as 200 watts. Hales just play with more ease and with large... | |
| Rogue 88 or AR Classic 60 ? Just FYI, Rev. twos are 6 ohm. And whatever ya' do, give 'em as much juice as you can. | |
| Techno Anyone? Straight techno can be boring, but there's a lot of synth- based albums that are excellent: Paul van Dyk's "Seven Ways", Leftfield's "Leftism", Headcase's "mushi mushi", Autechre's untitled album. You can have some luck with remixes. Curve's 'Chin... | |
| Where to shop for music? When I'm looking for details of a certain album, cdnow.com rarely fails. Take the 'cd' part to heart, few records. | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Joy Division | |
| State of the Art? I don t care anymore. A lot of times i get into the music more when i am not sitting in the good spot. Sometimes when i'm doing something else the music just jams. I don't think it's a particular system that puts the pieces together, it's a super cool album at the righ... | |
| Do you play? I play the guitar, bass, a little violin and piano. I'm getting in to doing some experimental music which is and will be influenced by my hifi hobby. The two hobblies will really be mingled when I finally get recording/editing system for my comput... | |
| Speaker Fetish I know, I know...The speakers I see pictured in the ads look like big pieces of candy. My head about exploded when I saw the lacquered Merlins. And when I read the reviews, forget about it. And those new Burmesters...i'll never have savings account. | |
| Speaker placement directly on floor? I think it would be a good/cheap idea to get a set of coupling discs to put between the spikes and your floor. They only cost about $6 each, would protect your floor and are (theoretically) better than using the rubber feet. | |
| Help wanted in regards to monitors... I forget who they used to sourcce thier drivers from (tip of my tounge). They started manufacturing thier because they felt they could better tailor the drivers for thier needs. They are still a lot like the ones they used to but from that unknown... |
