| Pro vs. Consumer Equipment David, I'm at a loss to explain it -- I can get to the thread, but perhaps because I responded to it. I copied the thread address I gave you to the Address line in the internet bar and got there right away. I then searched under the name of the th... | |
| Pro vs. Consumer Equipment Hi David. It's still there under "What's the best amp you know of?" I recopied the thread address:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1053585689&read&h12&zzlD911&rest | |
| New Led Zeppelin Thanks Ben. I'll pick it up. Even the recent "reunion" television show was quite good. Can't get enough Zep! | |
| Pro vs. Consumer Equipment As usual, a very well thought out analysis Sean. You might be interested in looking at this thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1053585689&read&h12&zzlD911&restA word of warning -- the guy who started it does t... | |
| Pro vs. Consumer Equipment It's interesting that the ART amps have such strong advocates--there must be an exception to every rule. The JBL pro speakers I referenced included a 15-18" woofer (I can't recall the exact size) and two horns (midrange and tweeter). The McIntosh ... | |
| What's your profession? Age? 48, manage databases for a large bank (most of my career was in marketing and strategic planning). It took awhile to figure out what was in my system -- I just reposted it. The list price is over $90k. Of course, I didn't come close to paying reta... | |
| What's more important; sound or brand name? Psychicanimal, please don't generalize. I have never given you grief for your choice of system components and I bet I'm not alone among those responding to this thread. No need to stereotype (pun intended). | |
| OK, A'Gon/guys: I like to print the odd thread but Great point Lugnut. By the way, you can also copy the thread onto your word processing program. This may allow for an even greater amount of flexibility to edit the content prior to printing. | |
| What's more important; sound or brand name? Good point Unclejeff. Got me to thinking ...As I reread this thread, I wonder if we all have different definitions of brand. There's the mass market brands (like Sony), the mass audiophile brands (like Krell), the specialty audiophile brands (like... | |
| What's more important; sound or brand name? Agree with all above who suggest that some larger companies also provide larger service and a better resale market. Would I buy a no-name? Absolutely not -- unless it is inexpensive (so it doesn't hurt to throw it away if it's bad) or if there is ... | |
| Is There Big Trouble Brewing? Just to be clear, I like much of the music today just as I like much of the music of yesterday. Part of the fun of the hobby is to find new music -- whether it's another great 50's jazz recording or Audio Slave. My comment on quality was referring... | |
| Warm vs. Analytical Buckingham was kind enough to share the address of the stereophile guide to audio terms the other day:http://www.stereophile.com/showarchives.cgi?50:0To me, warm means that the music is not detailed enough (i.e., a bit muffled and overly emphasizi... | |
| Is There Big Trouble Brewing? Lokie, there are a lot of great local recording studios. They support artists who sell cd's on their tours and these engineers seem to be truer to the art than the big name studios. I was lucky enough to spend some time in one of them and the tech... | |
| Is There Big Trouble Brewing? Well said Sean. Copying has been around for a long time. It's easier now but pricing is, IMO, the real culprit. I do appreciate the companies that let you listen (at least to portions) before you buy. That's usually what reels me in. Finding great... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Montana WAS's. Heard them and was really impressed with the seamlessness of the cross-overs; the midrange clarity; and the deep, realistic bass that extends evenly toward the midrange. Had to buy them. They are not even broken in yet and they cont... |
