| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS I love it when the big mags give outright rave reviews. To me it means the reviewer (and the editor) are actually excited about a product. The fact that there has been a steady stream of rave reviews may indicate that we are in a "golden age" of a... | |
| ATC SCM 100 VS. Vandersteen Model 5's Can't answer your question, but why are you going with the passive ATC. They love power and show a distinct preference for tri-amplification. | |
| Inexpensive tweak I can't tell if you're serious or not, but this actually happened to me twice. Miss Willis first threw up on my Pioneer DVD/Laser. Cat voimit is highly corrosive and it destroyed a circuit board. I took it back to the dealer, explain what happened... | |
| Question for recording artist/engineers Your question seems to focus on the rear end of the process when the greatest sonic gains are made at the front end. There are several keys to getting a high quality recording. A great recording engineer is probably at the top of the list. Right b... | |
| How could High End audio be improved? A quote from an above post, "being drawn to the hiend is synonomous with being drawn to feel more beauty in music". Does this mean those not involved in high end audio are not drawn to feel more beauty in music? Asa, I guess I'm questioning your u... | |
| If i had the money..... Forget the in-home demo and take that leap of faith. Being an audiophile is not science, it's supposed to be fun. The worse thing that can happen is you make a mistake, lose alot of money and everyone on A'gon laughs at your misfortune. Like that'... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. I said, "great music is still great music even on bad systems". The emotional content inherent in better quality music is not derived from its sound. | |
| Where have all the protest songs gone? The attacks against the U.S. on 9/11 dried up the traditional protest song market. Suddenly Americans saw themselves as innocent victims and in such a mindframe songs protesting what some see as unfair social conditions seemed of little importance... | |
| Unheralded Sideman I only know Jesse Edwin Davis from his Taj Mahal days. He had that twangy country blues sound going. He was so talented. | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Your music collection is far more important than the equipment it's played upon. A great system won't make bad music sound good, but great music is still great music even on bad systems. | |
| Why aren't all CDs created equally? First, read Twl's post again. Second, play the Beth Orton CD in your car, or on a boom box or compact system. I bet it sounds fine on a truly low resolution system. The current trend in mixing/mastering is to favor maximizing volume. Extremely agg... | |
| Whats wrong? Pay attention to the above comments about speaker placement. It's critical with dipole speakers. I also agree with the comments that the Yamaha EQ should be put aside. Quality cables are critical and they don't have to cost alot. Tributaries offer... | |
| Question for Velvet Underground fans I like "Loaded", but true Velvet U. fans don't hold it that high regard. Something about it being overly commercial. True, I would only listen to side 1, but it's one of the greatest sides of rock music. Really, how can anybody resist an album wit... | |
| Please explain Mulholland drive? I heard on the radio today that parts of the movie were from a TV pilot that Lynch made that was never picked up by the networks. Lynch then wove several dreamlike stories around it. I can't say I liked the film, but anything by Lynch (including "... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Twl, the McDonald's seat thing is an urban legend. Seat turnover is not an issue in your typical McDonald's. 55% of their business only uses the drive-thru and never enters the building. The number of seats in a restaurant is actually set by local... |
