| Coincident's "Victory" spk:beautiful, but... sound?? Any speaker design will entail some compromises. Deep bass is expensive (multiple drivers, large heavily braced cabinets, etc.), so I am not surprised that at the $5k price level a manufacturer might not even try to attain sub-40Hz performance. Pr... | |
| Tweaks & How My System Disappeared Congrats on your efforts and success!"It took a full three weeks of five hours per day to solve the puzzle..."Let's say you value your time at $100/hr., then your 105 hours of "work" cost you $10,500. No one ever said it would be easy, or cheap. | |
| Bonnie Raitt / Lyle Lovett Tour I heartily agree. Caught them at Ravinna (suburban Chicago). Lovett is off the crutches, but still had a cast. He had to sit in chair to perform. His set was kinda' short, but very effective. Bonnie's voice was showing signs of strain and the band... | |
| What is "critical listening"? Great question, but are you trying to start trouble? Audiogonland is a much happier place when nobody raises any troublesome questions.I'm not someone who critically listens to a component (or a system). It tends to distract from my enjoyment of m... | |
| Match the phono-pre to cart., or arm? The cartridge must be compatible with the tonearm in regards to compliance and resonant points, but the cartridge must also be correctly loaded by the phono preamp. Surprisingly, there is no compelling reason to have the same manufacturer for the ... | |
| Where does your user name come from? It was back in '36, or was it '37, I was down in the Delta when I met up with a guitar carrying man who introduced himself as Lonnie J. He said that if I had some money he knew where we could get some homebrew and maybe some women. I was a little ... | |
| Someone just dropped cash into your lap I'm not sure where this fits, but if I had unlimited money I'd construct a dedicated room. I'm at the point where the biggest limitation in sound reproduction is the acoustic environment. | |
| Robert Cray like sound They came out of Rhode Island in the mid 70s, the original Roomful Of Blues with Duke Robillard out front on guitar. Not as soulful as Cray, they were more into a jazz/swing thing. I recommend their eponymous first album and it's follow-up, "Let's... | |
| Remastering my own cd's If I understand you correctly you want to have a little creative fun with your existing CD collection. The only cost effective way to go is a computer based setup. I would avoid the iMac, it doesn't allow for expansion cards which you'll need for ... | |
| Review: Aurios Media Isolation Bearings Pro Great review. I've been using the Pro model for about a year and I think it's a very effective product. I live in a wood frame house with wood flooring and my neighborhood is often disturbed by traffic, trains and airplaines that introduce a fair ... | |

| The best way to design an audio system. If you start with a large and diverse collection of "great" music, then within reason, whatever else follows is gravy. Which is not imply that people don't have very strong opinions about gravy. | |
| Has your system changed the music you listen to? From the above replies it seems that most people have answered yes to the original question. Is it possible that people are confusing the effects of their evolving systems with the fact that virtually everybody who loves music has different taste ... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? Twl, your response makes me think that single ended triode, single driver horn guys really are different.I here Stone has lined up Vin Diesel for the lead and is talking to Gary Oldham for the sheriff. | |
| Has your system changed the music you listen to? Not really. Over the past 20 years my taste in music has expanded and evolved, but I don't think it's related to my audiophile tendencies. I would think that over time everybody's musical taste changes, but I would be suspicious if it's driven by ... |
