| What is the advantage of ultra bandwidth? In general, the wider the linear bandwidth of a system the better. Spectral makes very good equipment, but I would recommend that you start with their preamps and also be sure to use their recommended cables. | |
| Can you get great analog sound from analog tape? Analog 1/4 inch reel to reel is a superior format to both red book CD and vinyl records. An even better format is 1/2 inch reel to reel. Unfortunately, I agree with the above that it's expensive, maintenance intensive and not particularly convenient. | |
| At a crossroads...what's next Irler, how large is your music collection? If it is sufficiently large, then further upgrades in your system might well be warranted. If your collection is more modest, then you may be better served in developing your audiophile tendencies by buyi... | |
| Bose makes more than speakers... Somewhat off topic, but I'm just curious. Do the owner/drivers of those $60,000+ German driving machines look down upon U.S. domestic cars with the same sneering intensity as audiophiles look down upon Bose products? | |

Has any speaker nailed the midrange better than this 45 year old design? The fact that experienced audiophiles use oth... | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? Tweekerman, TAD makes some very well regarded drivers and they are manufactured in the Far East. Don't let this fact disturb your world view that Asians are not good at making audio products, but then again, your comments are not to be taken too s... | |
| Taming bright Thiels Tissue paper placed in front of the speaker is a time tested pro studio trick for dealing with "hot" drivers. If it works, why try anything else? | |
| Paul McCartney Trivia Question I just needed to know. Thanks! | |
| Male Jazz singers - any recommendations? I only know a handful of his performances, so can anyone recommend any Billy Eckstein recordings? The same goes for Leon Thomas.Chazzbo is right, Kurt Elling can be a little too cute, but I've seen him live a half dozen times and know how good he ... | |
| Male Jazz singers - any recommendations? Check out Kurt Elling, Nat King Cole (Trio only) and early Louis Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong virtually invented jazz singing (just ask Billie Holiday). | |
| It's a Bad Movie, But It Was Fun to Watch Anyway "Tremors" is a GREAT movie that's a true joy to watch. Reba & whathisname (Micheal...y'know, the guy from that sitcom) are a hoot as the survivalist. |
