| Are bad rooms keeping the hobby alive? You are on the money. Talking about rooms just look at the number that don't even have 'any' soft furniture to help with simple standing waves. At the same time, i think if all rooms were suddenly perfect it would'nt be long before us music & ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective You might consider the new Wadia 581i SE with it digital inputs. I heard the 581 & it is very nice but comments suggest the SE is much better. | |
| Von Schweikert VR 4 jr. Worth upgrading to MKII? Hi Pal, before you think about a speaker upgrade(the last link in the chain) work on improvements that reduce distortion & noise "upstream". It's "remarkable" how much better your speakers will sound by simply 'eliminating' digital hash--disto... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Sirspeedy, good question. The finest single malt in a decent 4 oz shot may be found by some to be wanting, compared to an 8 oz shot-but the drink is identical. In fact the Eidolon has an irrefutable advantage in the size of the midrange driver.Str... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money I still say those old tuners, that cost only 2 cents a day and work for 30+ years "define" value in the high end. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Nsgarch, I went thru a house today and saw lots af cassettes and mentioned to the owner must like music;;-he said yes because there's nothing worth watching on tv.I think your sound comment is right on as most people never, ever get to hear high e... | |
| Can you test my internet radio station please Tim, you're honest on that-but-when it comes to a simple question like this-'do I deserve free music the rest of my life because I bought so much in the past?'-, yes or no will suffice; and if you can't answer it that way you should be in politics... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Thanks Eujin, I listen primarily to classical and am seeking detail,nuance,microdynamics,soundstage and imaging for a 'being there' sensation as I find any decent speaker is dynamic enough for me. I had a chance to listen to a Wadia 581 recently v... | |
| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll A pair of JBL 250Ti's might work for you-they rock. | |
| Feds to audiophiles: You're all pirates now Dusty, really, what are 1s and 0's if they're not things?Are you suggesting they are "nothing". This is getting deep.Perhaps some Philosophists might have some input here. | |
| Willie Nelson, the star who wasn't supposed to be Hi Idiotec, that "raw" feeling is something I really like about Willie. The depth of much of his writing seemscomplemented by this quality.I hope he just goes on & on. Living proof of what a person can do with soul. | |
| Feds to audiophiles: You're all pirates now Well Dusty, I'm not sure we're on the same wavelength.I don't think listening is the problem; it's the illegal downloading and sharing-which bypasses the creator of the art-that's the problem. The fundamental issue is no different now than it was ... | |
| Can you test my internet radio station please Wscottbellah,OK, you "did" support some artists by buying LPs & CDs -in the past.Does that give you any right to obtain your next "artistic creation" for free?I own over 15000 LPs (and 5000 45 rpm singles from the 50's,60's & early 70's--I... | |
| Feds to audiophiles: You're all pirates now Well said Jaybo,I also found artists whose recordings I liked-from the "radio" -which paid artist for every play of their 'musical creation'As a result I now own over 15000 lps, mostly rock, but thousands of classical & hundreds of jazz, and o... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Those late 70's batch of superior quality analog tuners(many brands) were a great buy. My Hitachi FT920 has provided good sound since ~ 1976 and responded very well to AC power upgrades. Still provides my Saturday afternoon at the Opera-better tha... |
