| 4.5k on speakers for 5.1 surround. NHT way to go? NHTs are a strong value at their list price. At the mentioned price they are particularly attractive. They are full range, dynamic and relatively easy to drive. They will respond positively to higher quality amplification, but don't demand it. Oth... | |
| Perfect sound forever ? Not even when new... Sean, please state which disc have this problem. Clicks and pops can occur in digital sourced material due to poor word clock synchronization in the recording studio. It's a sign of poor engineering that such clicks make it through to the finished... | |

| amplifier's "slam-factor" With live, non-amplified music does anyone ever hear slamming bass? I've heard deep, forceful tones that carry a physical impact, but I've never been exposed to that sharp, highly edge defined bass sound except for when I'm listening to high end a... | |
| Anyone remember the "Tice Clock" controversy? George Massenburg's comments about his experience with the Tice clock:http://www.musicgearnetwork.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=003842;p=2#000043He says it made a difference. | |
| A Little Hypocrisy? The items offered on Audiogon tend to represent the higher end of what's available in music reproduction equipment. As such the record exec is making an argument that the better quality, presumably hi-rez, CDs should cost $15/each. That price seem... | |
| Aurios MIB Pro's - Set-up tips. Megasam, never tried them under an individual component. When used under my Target stands they add a degree of focus and image sharpness. They also took out a little muddiness from the mid-bass. | |
| What is a Choke? Mookie would have beat the toss to first! | |
| Power Conditioning done by IC's & Speaker Cables Speaker cables would be one of the least effectives places to attempt the type of filtering accomplished by power line conditioners. If your problem is 60Hz line hum, then you've already run it through your power amp thereby wasting precious headr... | |
| Is Remote Control Important? Twl, I'm not really sure there's such a clear cut distinction between convenience and performance. Consider tonearm VTA adjustments. Since getting VTA spot on is critical to performance and the correct setting can differ from record to record, the... | |
| OT: History / slang terms and what they all mean Fascinating. Thanks for the change of pace."The Whole Nine Yards" - in WWI the American machine guns were liquid cooled, but still had a tendency to overheat. If the gun overheated it would jam. Gunners were advised to shot in short burst to avoid... | |
| Is Remote Control Important? I imagine that it's a rare audiophile who doesn't trade some measure of sonic performance for convenience. After all, are your cables welded to your components, or do you allow yourself the flexibility to easily change them out? Why have a volume ... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Thanks for listing your systems. At first I didn't see the point of this Audiogon feature, but I now find that it can give added insight into peoples' comments. Again, thanks. | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Asa, I'm sorry it's so exasperating having to deal with us common people, but to your credit you make a sincere effort. If I can make a suggestion, take the time to list your system(s). It will help many of us to understand what is possibly at the... | |
| Is Remote Control Important? This is very much a personal preference issue with no real right or wrong opinion. For myself I think a remote control is mandatory. Convenience is important, but the ability to set volume and channel balance from the listening spot are true audio... |
