| HE 2004 West Cancelled due the worker lockout You can't say that all unions are good or all unions or bad. It depends on the situation. The point here is that the people who run this show shouldn't have led us all to believe that everything was ok. | |
| HE 2004 West Cancelled due the worker lockout That's a good point, Clbeanz. I don't think I could cross a picket line either, at least without knowing much more about the specifics of the situation. I wonder if there's any contingency in the event that the lockout ends before Nov 4? It seems ... | |
| HE 2004 West Cancelled due the worker lockout This really pisses me off. I've been calling the people who run this expo every other day since the strike/lockout started, and every day they've assured me that the show would go on even if they needed to change venues. Now, a week before the sho... | |
| New to Opera, have some questions I respectfully disagree with Ellery911 and some of the others. As a professional orchestral musician, I've sat in my fair share of orchestra pits, and I've had quite a lot of experience with opera. You DON'T need to know the language or have super... | |
| Imaging/Soundstaging - Does room size matter? And yes indeed, the system is in phase, according to the second track of stereophile test cd 3. | |
| Imaging/Soundstaging - Does room size matter? Wow, thanks for the help you guys! So it seems like a bit more tinkering is in order, and maybe a bit more dampening on the side walls.Thanks, Duke, for the felt reccomendations. I'll give that a try. | |
| Imaging/Soundstaging - Does room size matter? The speakers are set up according to the Cardas Golden Triangle system. The room has been treated with foam and such, but it's not acoustically perfect. | |
| Speaker upgrade itch Opinions 2500$used Hi there,I don't have a specific speaker suggestion for you, but let me tell you a bit about my speaker hunt this summer. My main criterion for a speaker is wonderful transparency, with great imaging and a large soundstage. I also like speakers wi... | |
| Recommendations discs for SACD/DVD-A trial Check out "Nickel Creek" (name of the band, and of the album I believe). I don't really know how to describe it. It's bluegrass....kind of. I really enjoy it.It's a hybrid SACD, so you can buy two and put one in the denon, one in the EC. Very, ver... | |
| CD/SACD Players with volume control under 4K? I know it's not SACD, but the Resolution Audio Opus 21 is what you want. It's extraordinary, IMHO. | |
| Okay, I have a decision to make, please help. I've heard the Marantz and the Naim. Wouldn't touch the Marantz with a ten-foot pole. The Naim was probably the best CDP I heard under 2k. | |
| Amp for use with Jm Labs Electra 946's I'm afraid I can't really speak to the quality of the other Pass amps. I haven't heard them. I really would take a good hard look at Electrocompaniet if you want to keep the budget low. | |
| Amp for use with Jm Labs Electra 946's It really depends on your musical taste. Personally, I fine the Electra series to be fairly neutral in the midrange but a bit bright on top. Using Krell might give you too much brightness. If it were me, I'd consider a pair of Electrocompaniet AW2... | |
| Serious problem with Electrocompaniet ECI-3 I shipped it to myself once as I was going back to school. But I packed that thing so well, I can't imagine that any damage could've occured. But I guess anything's possible.Thanks people. | |
| Great tube DAC's with volume control? No, I'd rather not open the discussion to include SS DACs. Maybe you could sart another thread for the SS side of things? I think having both on the same thread would create a bit of confusion.Thanks! |
