| Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good All of the ones I own - thank goodness for writable CDs. Some in their original state, if not enjoyed completely, I’ll delete tracks. If I need to delete too many I’ll purchase more from the same artist and put together a "best liked" compilation.... | |
| Diffuse Front Wall? Absorb rear wall? ptss - thank you for the good advice. yes, one does need to keep their bs radar on full scan whenever speaking with a manufacturer, dealer, or fan boy. that is for sure. GIK Acoustics and Brian Pape have helped me resolve some past issues so I am ... | |
| Austrailian rock and roll Not a "band", per se, but a terrific performer, Mia Dyson. I have two of her releases, "Parking Lots" and "Struck Down", both excellent music. | |
| Diffuse Front Wall? Absorb rear wall? After speaking with one of the well known manufacturers of acoustical products, based on their recommendation, for my new room I will be treating the front corners and first and second side reflections with absorption/traps; and the back wall with... | |
| Best significant upgrade? Dac? Preamp? Get a tube amplifier. Something like a VAC 300.1 or VAC Phi 200. Or perhaps one of the big boys from VTL or BAT. | |
| Downsizing Setup Looking for Small 2 Way speakers. Selling my Perfect Storm Vapor Audio. "Not tried the Adams yet. are these near field? "I believe so. But since you will be only 1.8 meters from them I suspect they may work out. | |
| Downsizing Setup Looking for Small 2 Way speakers. Selling my Perfect Storm Vapor Audio. I REALLY like my Adam F7 2-way actives (60 watt woofer; 40 watt ART tweeter). Clean, clear, and smooth.

And only then replace with a different brand to compare? I sometimes wo... | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? Luckily I've never owned a regrettable piece of kit. But I do research the heck out of something and nearly always audition before buying. I also avoid flavor-of-the-month kinds of gear. | |
| Pls share your experience with Zu Soul or Zu in general I’ve listened to the Defs and Soul many times, many different front ends (mostly tubes), and I’ve rarely come away satisfied. Nearly all the time experienced ear-piercing sound to varying degrees. In fact, only twice have I heard them sound good, ... | |
| Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's I’ve found that searching out Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab and DCC releases usually always sound superior to me over their standard releases. Not cheap, but well worth it to me. | |
| What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon? I am so tired of reading how someone got offended by a low-ball offer. The notion of being "offended" by low-ball offers is such a crock. Why not call it what it really is? You are simply mad (like a little whining baby) that someone won't give yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Back in the day, artists strove to record "with strings". They felt they’d really made it were they asked to record with strings. | |
