| Tell us compliments received on your system... Warrn, it's the nicest four letter word I could think of ;-) | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... It's great when non-audiophile friends visit for the first time and say "I've never known this performer could sound so good" or "It sounds like they're right there". For me, that reinforces the immediate impact that an audiophile environment can ... | |
| MIT Shotgun vs Magnum I own and truly enjoy my MIT's. I agree that break-in time really does matter. However, I'd also suggest that system synergies are important and it doesn't appear that any one brand of cable is ideal for all systems. Give it some more time. Talk t... | |
| $25k vs $200k Warren, I did that when I first started out in serious audioville. I had a Bryston/Thiel setup that, when I listened to some pretty expensive stuff in Boston, sounded very fine for the money. The subtle differences weren't worth it to me and I fel... | |
| Start with Project 1.2? I'd go with something well known and used so, if you don't like it, you can easily sell it. For example, a Music Hall MM7 is available now in the classifieds for about $750, with cartridge. If the popping and hisses drive you nuts, you can always ... | |
| best concert venue The Opera House in Sydney, Australia is acoustically outstanding. The views are also fine from anywhere. | |
| I'm frustrated with people who don't ... One of the problems with our hobby is that quality is so tough to measure. It's easier to talk about the time to get from 0-60 mph or how many pixels your digital camera has. Lugnut is right that there are other hobbies like this (you spent how mu... | |
| Spindle oil Mine is from the manufacturer -- it costs a mint (even my dealer has a hard time getting it). I look forward to hearing from others to see if a more attainable solution is out there. | |
| Found a good site, i think Thanks. I used to live in Dayton. I remember their steak houses fondly. | |
| Is it real or is it Memorex Freakygreek, would you mind sharing your system with us and where you inserted the pc's? Thanks. I'm glad things worked out so well for you. | |
| Got any of your dream system yet? I'm a bit happier with my system than Slappy is with his ;-) My digital front end would be out the window. Most of the cables and pc's would be replaced (no reason to replace the preamp to amp bnc 75ohm cabling). The line conditioning would go and... | |
| Listening Chairs Slappy's right -- you don't want anything to get between your ears and any of the walls, so don't go with anything that allows you to tilt your head back against it. | |
| Speakers you regret selling Montana KAS's. I traded them in for the WAS's, which I love even more, but I sure wish I could have kept both -- the KAS's in the bedroom would have been sweet overkill. On second thought, I just remembered Sean's comment above and I'm not sure I ... | |
| Inconsistency in System Xplastic, I am absolutely not making fun of you or trying to be cute. It really is the first time I heard of a cord change making a measurable difference. That's very interesting and will be added to my bag of memories I carry forward on the road ... | |
| Inconsistency in System Path7man, is there a pattern to when the system sounds good or bad? As suggested by Slv, late evenings are best for AC noise. Also, check if some of your home appliances are on when the system sounds bad (microwaves, fans, etc). Power conditioners... |
