| LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS Agree OP. I normally only go to smaller venues any more for this reason. Otherwise, really is a waste of time. Even most medium-sized venues sound like crap. Combination of poor acoustics and deaf people running the sound boards. Very frustrating.... | |
| Isolation for DAC/Class D Power Amp ... only remaining issue is air borne vibrations from the the music itself.Not necessarily. How about vibration generated within each device? Some (as me) believe it requires a path for escape.You may wish to read about this theory and proposed so... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Csontos - you just don't get it. Not going to waste any more of my time dealing with your skewed perspective. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Csontos - You think pre-CD era stores offered as much information and selections as today's Amazon, AllMusic, band web sites, YouTube, A'gon, E-Bay, etc.? They did not. They could not. You cannot be serious. They were limited to owner's budget, of... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Hearing crap 'back in the day' and hearing it now brings you to the same conclusions. There's no mystery. We have plenty of examples from way back when too.Agree! There was tons of crap back then as well. Always has been loads of crap, always will... | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? I am always mystified by inexcusably bad live soundAgree! Many o' times I'd been tempted to bonk the guy running the board on the head with a longneck brew and take control myself. I swear these guys are deaf sometimes. | |

| Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7 Along the lines of Shakey's post ... Having not owned either the Merlins or Vandys, but hearing several models of both, I must say that I've enjoyed each of the Merlins (two floor stander models and one standmount); and disliked each of the Vandys... | |
| how much to pay for this sensational setup? Agree with Elizabeth. By purchasing with the home you are saving the seller a lot of effort and headache. If I were in the seller's position and did not wish to put forth much effort selling each piece, I'd settle for 1/4 retail. | |
| SET/PSET Amp recomendation for Reference3A Episode Not familiar with your speakers, but if looking for higher power SET amps made in the USA, check out Audio Mirror. I have Vlad's 45 Watt SET monoblocks (more like 50 watts with peaks to 90) driving my 87db main speakers (Eggleston Works Fontaines)... | |
| System Opinion, Fritz and AVA Good luck! Do the in-home audition before you buy, for sure. And don't decide until you break the gear in a bit first (100 hrs. perhaps). | |
