| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s Detlof, Im troubled by your response to the ABX "results" on the website Jostler referred you to. Without knowing the experience, listening skills or hearing acuity (word?) of the listeners, where they were, or what they listened to and what playb... | |
| Best audio racks The Salamander Synergy racks are very nice. You can search for their website, or go to reference-av.com and go to their product list and click on SalamanderDesigns under furniture. Reference Audio Video will give you a good deal and help choosing ... | |
| Dealer Price "Wiggle" Room Nobody's asked what the dealer did for you. If low price stuff and the dealer spent a lot of time with you in his store, pay list or maybe 5 to 10% off. If high priced they should have room to discount some more, but will generally be reluctant to... | |
| What causes listener fatique? cure? Ok, I have to disagree with Trelja here. First, we agree that a bad or hot tweeter can certainly irritate. But I find that beamy soft dome tweeters are also irritating. The speaker recommended by Trelja may be fine, there are lots of good soft dom... | |
| What ST in Bryston 3B-ST means ? ST are the initials of the designer. These are the later model. Non-ST are earlier designed/made. I think they're AB, but surely Bryston has a website, or someone who owns one will tell you soon. | |
| music you cant live without I should think a little first. The names I just mentioned have been my favorites for almost 30 years (except for Allison Krauss - 13 years or so), so I havent lived without them all this time and cant imagine doing so. Now that I have heard Eva Ca... | |
| music you cant live without Barbara Keith, Tracy Nelson, Irma Thomas, Allison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Los Lobos, Merle Haggard | |
| opinions on the blue point special I tried one a few years ago and returned it because of a channel imbalance. Other than that it was pretty good. Kelly is right, cartridges are very system dependent. But I think you knew that and that's why you asked the questions you did. If you ... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Are we there yet? Welcome to rec.audio.opinion and AudioReview. com cable talk. The thread was dead. Let it rest in peace. If you're interested in Mr. Dunlavy's views they have been discussed at length over and over again on those other forums. | |
| Best speakers for small listening room Ok, I was curious so I did some research. I hadnt heard of the Dynaudio's you mentioned because I dont shop in that price range (on principal, sort of, but I guess if I were filthy rich I might). Properly sited they would probably be fine and a be... | |
| Best speakers for small listening room Im not sure I know what a standing wave is either but I know one when I hear one. It's sort of like turning on a light in a room full of mirrors. I can get my little mini-monitors, supposedly down 6db at 60hz, to put out a 10db peak at 60 hz if I ... | |
| Best speakers for small listening room I was trying to be responsive. If you like the sound of the B&W's and you dont think they are bass-heavy in your small room, I'd leave well enough alone. If you are unhappy with the B&W's because (1) too much bass or (2) cant get them to i... | |
| long term disappointments? Oops, I just noticed the topic was speakers. I have never bought a pair of speakers I didnt like. But you know, our rooms are different from the reviewers' rooms, and they are unlikely to sound the same in my house as in yours. | |
| long term disappointments? Sdcampbell, I guess you didnt read Hifiharv's comment or Sean's kudos. ;). Seemed like an obvious point to me. In order to be disappointed, one would have to have some expectations, like being set up by a good review. (I think the Vandy's are fine... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology The thread almost died so you started talking to yourself? |
