| Texas Hurricane...the music of SRV For clarity: IMO the MFSL releases are superior to the Legacy releases. MFSL are not as painfully detailed, but also are not bleached out like the Legacys. You can hear deeper into the music on the MFSLs. | |
| Texas Hurricane...the music of SRV I have not heard any of those versions, but did have the Legacy CD remasters, and since purchased the MFSL CD versions. They are clearly superior and far less digital sounding. Texas Flood, Couldn't Stand the Weather, Soul to Soul, In Step, and Th... | |
| on the desktop? I turned volume up about half way on each speaker, then control overall volume via laptop. I will never not get active speakers for a desktop ever again. And these F7 do not require a sub for most music as they are rated down into the low 40s Hz. ... | |
| on the desktop? For my office I picked up a pair of Adam F7 (if too big for her she could go with Adam F5). These sound amazing and are very easy to use on the desk. Laptop playing music (CD, or music ripped to hard drive, or streaming off the net) out headphone ... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Lse - do you have any thoughts? | |

| Audiophile Active Speakers? Don't know Emotiva, but these Adam F7 are seriously good! Not just for a "pro monitor". Just damned fine music reproducers, period. A real joy to listen to. | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? I recently picked up a pair of Adam F7 active monitors ($898) for my desk. Laptop directly connected to speakers out the 3.5mm headphone jack via $12 cables (3.5mm connector on one end, split to balanced connectors on other). Speakers plugged into... | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? My mains in my main rig are rated -3db 55Hz, while my office monitors to 44Hz. In either case, I can listen to a lot of music and be mostly satisfied without a sub for acoustic, vocals, jazz, blues, etc., even some rock. But there are times I do n... | |
| Can anyone comment on the Audio Mirror Pp1 Preamp? I don.t have the AM pre, but do have Vlad's 45 WATT SET monos fed by an ocatl tube based pre. All connected up with WyWires UCs - terrific stuff. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Miles Davis, "I Thought About You" | |
| Your favorite album cover... Bill Evans and Jim Hall, "Undercurrent" (artist's photo of woman swimming, taken from below - I mention this because I've seen reissues which are different). | |
| Greatest song titles.. (You're wanted by the police and) My Wife Thinks You're Dead. - Jr. Brown | |
| For nearfield listening: which of these towers? Woo-hoo! Thanks Mapman! What did I win? Ha, ha. I know, look in my wallet. Still see some cabbage. That IS a good prize in THIS field of endeavor. |
