| Do you play an instrument/sing? Saying that I "play" the guitar is an insult to everyone that actually does. I noodle around with it. My hobby probably is more buying guitars (although I don't have very many) than actually playing. So far I have an Ibanez AR 100, a Fender Strato... | |
| Vandersteen speakers set up Newbie needs help Plea Can't see why it would not work. Play around with the speakers to get proper positioning. The worst that can happen is you may perceive a difference between the signatures of the different brand of speakers. I would think the first move would be t... | |
| Reference 3a Dulcet Heard the Dulcet at the Montreal show and for a speaker that size they are very impressive. Did not listen to them long enough and with a variety of recorded material to really know what their shortcomings could be though, but they sounded much be... | |
| There's no accounting for taste.... How can you top such excess? Now all we need is to upgrade our ears! | |
| Can sibilance be eliminated? Marakan hit the nail on the proverbial head. Audiophiles are gladly ignoring that the chain starts with the recording and that they actually have very little control over many aspects of the sound reproduced by their system. Mr. hosehaed is also s... | |
| Your favorite recent discovery Richard Thompson, "The Old Kit Bag". | |
| Help Where to start with jazz????? "The Sound of Jazz" an album on Columbia that was an outshoot of one-of TV show in the late fifties should give you some insight into various jazz performers of the period. A visit to the bookshop to pick up one of the guides to Jazz would be a gr... | |
| Can my attic work as a listening room?? A number of people recommend long wall placement and near field listening with the seating position very close or up against the opposite wall. Maybe this would work better in your situation depending on the slope of the roof. Acoustic treatment c... | |
| Vinyl, should I take the plunge? I have to concur with the last poster. Starting from scratch and with kids around (unless you have a dedicated room with a lock)you will need to expend a good amount of money and time to make it work for you. Only you can decide, but I would give ... | |

| What tattoo to get next? Jeff don't do it! Or else get something classic that will never be out of style, like a heart that reads "Mom". | |
| Music everywhere, too much? It's a bit like having food everywhere, except with food you can choose not to eat it. I find it awful that they play this crap through your phone while you are waiting on hold. Yes, too much "music" pollution all around. | |
| OK, Here's One For You, Industry Quantification... What if you don't have any friends, how can you tell your equipment is high-end? | |
| OK, Here's One For You, Industry Quantification... A piece of wire has nothing to do with a Monet or a Michelangelo. An art historian could explain at length the technical and artistic merits in a proper historic context of the work of such geniuses. Can anyone do the same for the folks behind exp... | |
| OK, Here's One For You, Industry Quantification... Anarchy, if you could stop for one minute spewing and actually read what people post you could avoid being the source of lot more heat than light. Since when is audiophilia and, more to the point, products whose promoters cannot and will not deign... |
