| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? What you are going to get here is of course personal answers. But you set the bar fairly low. Good is not really good or excellent. But if you are asking are they good, yes, they are. Of course, we all have our own preferences.Yes, I've never owne... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @fuzztoneI am a huge Toy Matinee fan. I live in Orange County and heard them on the radio a lot. Never got to see them but dearly would have loved to. Did see Kevin Gilbert several times after his TM days. Both shows were quite good. Still wish he... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @dweller Saw the Pretenders open on the U2 - Joshua Tree tour. The Pretenders were quite good, but even better on their appearance on Austin City Limits a few years ago. I've watched that ACL show a few times and will watch it again, they were so ... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Living Colour in Santa Ana at the Galaxy Theatre. Wanted to see them for years, finally got t a show and all Vernon could do was turn up the volume to ear-piercing levels and look and laugh at the audience. Just downright disappointing. | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound "...unamplified acoustic performances remain the standard for judging how close our systems get to the sound of live."@russ69 I've been to hundreds of shows. For me, I'm with Russ. It is more important to like what you are hearing that for it to... | |
| Did someone complain about the price of Uptone EtherRegen switch? I have an ER myself, powered by a Paul Hynes SR4T. Excellent return on the money. I've never had the chance to hear the ENO but wouldn't mind. | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else @unsound Unsound provided perhaps the best bit of advice. Settle on your speakers first.I've found that Pass, while nice, for me, lacks snap and sparkle and so therefore it lacks engagement. I did hear the INT 250 with the Wilson Yvette and though... | |
| I nominate this company as building best speakers! @mapman I absolutely love MBL. I've heard many of their systems and the 101Extreme at least three times. Just incredible. But we are talking at least a million so it is also out of the question.@kw6 No one's mentioned it, but you probably know. Bu... | |
| Is Luxman a poor man's D'Agostino ? Parasound is no where near like D'Agostino. | |
| Is Luxman a poor man's D'Agostino ? NO | |
| Need advice on used Wilson Audio speakers @testpilotAgreed. The Sabrina is a great speaker and you can indeed probably find them used at a pretty reasonable price. They sound great with ARC, T+A, Line Magnetic, Luxman, etc. | |
| My system is ... well, not ready I remember back a few years when I had to wait to put my gear back in my room. It'll be over soon enough. | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Started building an entirely new system (components + speakers) a couple years ago and only brought all power cords from the prior system. I needed a balanced IC and AES interconnect for the new system and went with Nordost Heimdall 2.The power co... | |
| My system is ... well, not ready @erik_squires Well, glad to hear it is NOT a catastrophe! Again, hope you get beyond this quickly. | |
| My system is ... well, not ready @erik_squires Very sorry to hear of your house catastrophe. Hope you are able to get that squared away pronto. Regards |
