| Most annoying Stereo magazine claim "HUGE" improvement, although not limited to print magazines. I've seen my fair share of it being used not very far from here in cyberspace. That the reviewer bought one for his own system is something reviewers borrowed from salespeople in audio s... | |
| Best Thread in Audiogon. Polemic you say? "Are audiophile obssessive nuts?" if I remember the title correctly. Talk about a hornet's nest! | |
| Feeding Maggie A 36 foot long room is "medium sized"? Well here I go again: for new equipment, Bryston 4B ST is just were the lines for sonics and realistic price cross. Call it the price/performance crossover and get back to the music. | |
| Is a 12' X 16' room big enough for stereo? It's proabably built by now, but here goes: a minimum nine foot ceiling would be nice. Two more feet in width would allow more room between the speakers and, more importantly, between each speaker and the side wall. If you could go to twenty-five ... | |
| My first Jazz cd Sonny Rollins "Way out West". "The Sound of Jazz" on Columbia, opened my heart to Jazz circa 1961, yes I am getting older! | |

| Greatest Songwriter of all time Well it ain't a band, but my vote for most depressing singer ever has to go to Rufus Wainright son of Louden Wainright and of one of them McGarrigle girls. Whenever my 18 year old daughter plays one of his, I swear I want to listen to some Blind L... | |
| Studio gear vs. Hi-Fi gear Is Hi-Fi a ripoff? Interesting thread I just bumped into. They are two different markets. The one caters to pros who have better things to do than show-off or else gloat over their equipment. The other is aimed at people who often enough have more money than sense o... | |
| PARADIGM REFERENCE SPEAKERS 100 V2 with Bryston 7B-STs. Clean power can't hurt. Drums have more punch than with previous amp. Imaging is great, appears to be more layering of the different instruments than previously. Keep your system all Canadian, we Cnadians need the busin... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Is the analogue community a gated community? I was convinced of the reasonableness of my various blurbs. I guess Bishopwill put it less in pamphlet form than I did, and I thank him for his good sense. I can see it now: two sold out digital-types p... | |

| Why no more Mercs? Is the end near? Vinyl is dead! Long live vinyl! |
