| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Alpha_gt, thanks for sharing, I found your post both interesting and refreshing. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Roxy54, it is perfectly fine to notice writing errors as I have in the past with other members. In addition it is difficult to be taken seriously under these circumstances but I think sometimes we get careless. If anyone should have a PHD, that pe... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Roxy54, thank you for pointing out my typo and after rereading my post I have come to the conclusion you only got it partially right. There are two other errors. I misspelled Oreagonpapa user name and used the word knowledgeable instead of knowled... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I'm not getting it either but we know that people don't like the same things. Maybe the question should read: "How do we get more people interested in audio".Anyway it is hard to imagine any Audiophile being completely satisfied with their current... | |
| HELP WITH A PREAMP DECISION Timrhu, I thought that toe-in is a big no,no. You might want to consider not doing that at all. But I could see how angling the speakers more towards the listener would create a much brighter/harder sound.Huntermusic, maybe the components are soun... | |
| About to buy a Wyred4Sound 1000 Watt Integrated Lrsky, I have a friend who owns Magnepans and paired them with a Wyred4Sound power amp, I believe it was the ST-500. In a most positive way he said it was a revelation! I personally have owned the ST-250 and it was one of the most transparent amps... | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. Curiousgeorge, the Odyssey Stratos (truly an overachiever at its modest price) would be a good choice, I have used one with horn speakers with great results. The other recommendation for a Mcintosh should also be considered as it tends to lean mor... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Here is one definition of audiophile: "One who enjoys sex acts involving the ear. | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Yes, because it is cool and fun to own, built extremely well, and has its own unique in-house sound, makes it a worth while investment. We all have different tastes both in music and gear so one can't expect everyone to jump on the "I love Mcintos... | |
| Advice about what to do with not-needed tubes? Save them in case someone breaks in your house, you could start throwing 12AT7s at them, they might actually explode on impact. | |
| audiphile power cords Interesting question, deserves a good answer but I haven't got one, well actually I might. Not all gear benefits from an Audiophile power cord. I have found that most tube amps and some solid state amps derive very little benefit whereas many othe... | |
| Sold in one day Mechans just a small distraction to see if we know as much about the state of the union as we do audio. I feel good that many other Audiophiles are aware. Lets continue the audio discussion and proceed with the Op's original thread, Sold in one da... | |
| Sold in one day Oregonpapa, yes I have taking into account that many politicians are at the core of corruption and agree with your statement. If there exists an evil entity who's main objective was to completely take over the USA but had to go through the back do... | |
| Crown SA2 Amp I like Crown, especially their new stuff. Crown has been in business for sixty years and who would know more about building quality amps then Crown. I personally own a Crown XLS 1500 Class D switching amp, I'm very impressed with its soundstaging,... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers I second the recommendation for Conrad Johnson solid state amps leaning towards a warmer sound, not to mention they sound superb especially when paired with a good tube preamp. One reviewer questioned as to why buy a Conrad Johnson tube amp when t... |
