| When will your system be enough? i went from midfy to nice about 6 yrs ago and immediatly quit changing things. My system, to my ears already bests a lot of rigs costing a bunch more and based on things i heard in various systems during the upgrade audition process i'm convinced ... | |
| Does anyone have custom-made earbuds? not sure about the brand options, or if those you mention fit into the pro-sound catagory, but a lot of folks are using in-ear monitors for live performance. I would think the seal would have to be good to inhibit stage volume blead and the fideli... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A Kmiller5 as to used speakers in the price range you quote you can find Dunlavy Athenas/alethas in the $3k-$4k range and Cantatas sometimes sub $3k I've never actually heard the cantatas but they have the same speaker configuration as the athenas w... | |
| what is your proceedure for setting up u'r system? right on nrchy. while auditioning real music on speakers i often had to compete with thundering booms from the home theater room. personally i like to relax to movies not be assualted by them. | |
| a great take on big$ cables I'm a firm believer that cables make and audible difference....for the better or worse is another question. I think a lot of folks use them as high dollar tone controls myself. For my system i went with something reasonable that sounded good and t... | |
| whats your idea of loud music. with age i've come to a position somewhat in line with Nsgarch where he states that he cant see why one wouldwant to exceed the volume of the real deal. I now can't see why one would even want to attain those levels. When i was much younger i'd le... | |
| Dunlavy V replacement drivers I wouldn't trade my athenas for anything. If the audio world was anything like the rest of the world the value of such a quality product should have sored once the supply was cut off instead of dropping like a rock as was the case with the Dunlavy... | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? yet another chime in for caress of steel. Used to be a huge fan. For the 2112 tour we skipped school and lit the first dube at exactly 21 to 12 to get the evening started. It was a great show with angel and Max Webster. Lifeson was a huge influenc... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? $325k?? how could that EVER be justified. A friend of mine in Jersy showed me a house that sat for sale for months at $800k and didn't get a second look. The owner pushed the asking price to just over a mil, while doing nothing to the house, and i... | |

The biggest difference, eerything else being equal which it ain't) is that live show system move so much more air... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Hmm from my experience with the Wilsons, which is very limited, once again it all comes back to room and system. The reviewer likes the Sophias but the system i heard them in was unmemorable to say the least. They sounded like bodyless boxes. I di... | |
| Has anyone tried QuietCar for reducing vibration? I've used dyna mat which is a heavy rubber like mat that the kids put in the trunks and door panels of their boob boom cars to try and control the rattles. Put it under the shelf for my CD and Phono. Actual effect?? don't know, never did an A-B te... | |
| Audiophiles... Why Men? Any woman here? i think Plato has it nailed. To set down and actually relax would drive my wife nuts. every second needs to be productive. Man am i glad i don't have that problem! | |
| When do you know when you're done? I've had the same system unchanged for about 6 yrs. I knew i was done when i realized that my room was truely the limiting factor with out getting into gear 2X or more what my gear costs. I listen to a lot of live music and i've realized that my s... | |
| Post-Katrina salvage of audio gear and software I feel for you dude. I used to live over by Elysian Fields and Robert E-Lee. I've been homesick for New Orleasn since the day i moved out 15 yrs ago.
