| Mo' money. Mo' problems. Someone's going to tell you to just enjoy the journey. Dude, it's a freakin' cult, they gottcha' and they're never gonna' set you free.Just click your heels together three times... | |
| Analog vs Digital Confusion Rpg, please explain why you're even thinking of getting a vinyl setup. | |
| Pure Music...Really Bad so far... Make sure your new RAM is properly installed. When you run a system check does it show 8Gb of RAM? | |
| what would you change if anything, in this set up? Move your speakers further out into the room. Even an additional foot can reap large sonic rewards. You should also experiment with sitting closer to the speakers.Definitely go all balanced.In this review from Soundstage the writer notes that Vien... | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? There isn't a Springsteen recording that's listenable over anything but an in car CD player or FM.Is this statement audiophile hyperbole or should we take it as plain English? If it's the latter, then something is wrong with your system, you or po... | |
| Avantgarde Trios too loud with my amps It's not the amount of power, it's the gain structure of your system when listening to your digital source. Contact BAT about lowering the preamp's gain. Alternatively, SMC makes a device that reduces system gain by 12dB that works in either balan... | |
| Tube Amp Watts and Quality Electrons. LOL I would explain it just as Mapman did above, but Ralph at Atmas-phere has a more complex answer involving current vs. voltage delivery into real world speaker loads. It's on their website and it is well worth reading. | |

It is not so much listening, but... | |
| $165k - $200k speaker performance for $40k ? Why add any sub? Does statement sound, whatever it is, require high volume ultra deep bass, or is it just exceptional sound?No loudspeaker is perfect, but the Mag 20.7 sets very high standards for a moderate amount of audiophile money. | |
| Big Step Up from Totem Hawks? 10k Speakers? While there are clearly better speakers than the Totem Hawks finding one that can just be dropped into your current system may not be an easy task. One of the knocks against class D amps is that they can be finicky about speaker matching. The only... | |
| Jagger gets a real job, finally. Why single out musicians? Are hedge fund managers overpaid? What about large corporate CEOs? Why are college football coaches the highest paid employees at universities? Should police chiefs of small cities retire with $250,000/yr. pensions? The N... | |
| "Remixing" vs "remastering" recordings They are two very different processes. A remix is more involved in that it also includes a new mastering session. A remix is only possible for recordings where the original recording sessions were multitracked. The remix engineer would have to go ... | |
| What About Loom Theory? The audiophile world is filled with anecdotal musings. In some ways it is a positive, but it is also a great flaw. |
