| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Mapman, I would agree that we were dumbed down back then and as you mentioned with the internet and the ability to communicate world wide so easily, we are all much more informed these days. This is a double edge sword in my opinion since informat... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3 Audio Research SP-11 Elliotdrum it is possible the Modwright LS100 is a better sounding unit compared to the the AI 3A but at a far greater cost. I have an ARC SP11 MKII I purchased several years ago and yes it is better sounding than the AI 3A but try to find one und... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3 Audio Research SP-11 The Audible Illusions 3A is a damn nice sounding preamp. After installing it in my existing system I received many compliments from friends and family how excellent it sounded and how it improved the overall sound.I think the reason that it got a ... | |
| Conrad johnson pv10b to M&K subwoofer Caweran, you can use the tape output on the 10B but keep in mind it is a fixed level output (as mofimadness mentioned) so when you increase the volume of the 10B it will not increase the volume of the sub. As mentioned above just use Y adapters to... | |
| where to get a Rawson Aleph 5 clone repaired? You used to see the Rawson amps up for sale once in awhile, not too much anymore, people apparantly really like them. I owned one and thought it sounded excellent but different. | |
| Amplifier specs, does they matter? I would never purchase any audio gear just based on specs but as Almarg mentioned they shouldn't all be totally ignored either. Without question, the final judgement should and will be placed on careful listening tests, believe your ears! | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Swinfrey, that is a very cool answer in that it makes alot of sense, well-spoken! | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store The guitar center is very cool for musicians as well as the occasional walk-in. I purchased a new Crown XLS 1500 (Class D switching amp) for a great price several months ago. An excellent overachiever for very few bucks and I still have it, perfec... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Look at it this way, walk into a B&M and see something you want, you buy it right then and there and it's instant gratification all the way. You see first hand what your buying and can clearly see its condition (if your buying used), you don't... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Dave_72 you already know about expensive mistakes, I have made a few mistakes myself, not anymore. I have a problem giving advice to anyone who has just entered this hobby and what to recommend because it will take a few years of trial and error t... | |
| Wanting to simplify my system ...... I think over time, once you get past the visual aspect of several high end pieces sitting in your rack and wonder if one box can deliver a satisfying presentation you are already on the road to simplifying. I have done this myself but I didn't sel... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Mapman what a great idea to start a charity funded by rich audiophiles. How many audiophiles (attorneys, doctors) have gone out and purchased a very expensive system as a status symbol, a trophy as to impress the world they have the means and way ... | |
| Can anyone comment on the Audio Mirror Pp1 Preamp? Thechops, any good quality interconnects should work well, I was using audio research cables and had some cardas cables on hand to try as well. You will need to experiment with different cables to get the sound you desire.Anyway congrats on PP-1 p... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Frogman, that is very interesting, I had thought there would be pockets of interest for hip hop but the last time I was in Japan was the early eighties. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Jmcgrogan2, it is interesting that the Japanese people love american made audio gear and motorcycles. Last time I read they also embrace the American 1950's lifestyle. I don't think they have bought into the new hip hop scene. I wonder what manufa... |
