| Downgrade Suprise? not sure thats a surprise really ENO. the link between price and performance is a best a loose one. a $1K system to a $100K system is easy but no reason to assume a 3k is inferior to a 5k system. the more I learn ( not hear or read but actually de... | |
| What the best 89-90 db speaker I can buy for 3k? shubert how about Zu speakers. As I recall they have a couple options in your price range that are near 100db/w | |
| What the best 89-90 db speaker I can buy for 3k? Out of curiosity why do you worry about efficiency over most of the other stuff folks worry about? | |
| Need advice on how to dip a toe into digital I think the easiest way to dip a toe it to get a free player (jriver - free, itunes if a mac, or foobar) and get a audioquest dragonfly outboard dac. output this to a amp, receiver or what do you have? and try it out. I'd skip worrying about sacd ... | |
| Omar Bose... Rrog well put. I personally am not a bose hater, rather i put them in the bag with monster as a company that does not really deliver value for money but defends that practice by things like limiting reviews (though you are correct and I suspect th... | |
| Soooo many choices. loren personally I'd forget i heard anything about rates. if you digitize your plain old cd its 16/44. if you download some high definition stuff its mostly 24/96 with some 24/192. not sure any even is selling any 32 bit stuff, same with DSD. if y... | |

| Omar Bose... I hear a wave radio every day. best way to make a decent recording sound flat. I watch the non audio folks rave about how good it is but I note that they dont until they see bose on the front. Best marketing folks in the business. | |
| Soooo many choices. I was able to have a nice extended listen with my wife (much better ears) a couple weekends ago and we listened to several DACS (peachtree iDac, rega dac, Ayre QB9, Mcintosh d100, and one ohter that escapes me) and what really surprised me was tha... | |
| Best rock bass player +1 on billy sheehan. heck of a nice guy as well. | |
| Sub-woofer hum problem may not be of any use but I found I can make my system do this (conditions sound similar) when my receiver is off and one of my main speakers is unplugged while my sub is connected to the receiver and the sub is powered on. My sub auto powers off ... | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K era d5's. rear ported though if that matters. great base and smooth tweeter. i have a set hooked up to a nad integrated and it sounds good. heard mine one a ayre setup and it was noticeably better. | |
| USING SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY TO KICK OPEN DOORS +1 with Picfink. Equal and opposite forces and all that. Cant beat Newtonian Physics. Yet. | |
| B&W 650 Bookshelf Speakers for Music and 2ch HT? really good plan from Paraneer. I would consider if you piece together a HT system that you migrate to the .1 standard next before a 3.0 system. Opinions vary but I think you get more from a sub than a center. as well a sub can help you 2 channel ... |
