| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. The first cut on the original Soundtrack From Twin Peaks, Music Composed by Angelo Badalamenti, has the most surefire bodyrush of anything I've ever heard. It'll wash over you, the wife and any small animals present :-) The rest of it's way cool t... | |
| Blue-tac or spikes? No matter how non-resonant the cabinet might be, at least it's being bombarded from the outside by delayed sonic waves. Can you hear them? So can the cabinets. Apart from holding them in place, spiked stands allow the cabinet to transfer any reson... | |
| Signal to Noise Ratio I'll take a stab at this. Let's say the signal is only the charged particles (the music on the tape) and the noise is the scraping of the tape over the heads. Everything else in environmental, mechanical, electrical and radio contact with the sign... | |

| Need Threshold, Bryston, Classe help I had an S/300 Series II for about eight years and replaced it almost a year ago with an S/350e. Single ended, the sound is about the same; maybe the S/350e is a little smoother. However the S/350e offers balanced inputs which seem to add a floaty... | |
| Quicker warm up advice for pass labs amp I'm with you Nhorton. In my spare time I moderate two chat rooms. As most of us know, using all caps on the www means you are screaming and is universally considered quite rude. The most popular response cappers give for their behavior is "it's my... | |

| Need help with ProAc Response OneSC ProAc calls the 1SC a miniature and the Tablette 2000 Signature the ultimate in compact loudspeaker design. They share the same tweeter and the same Michell binding posts. The Signature has a larger cabinet and bass driver. It comes only in premiu... | |

| Are audiophiles pot heads??? I'd guess diehard audiophiles are not primarily potheads. When you're strait, your system must naturally possess more resolution to sound expressive. Desiring and acheiving that requires insight and dedication to reality. In contrast, dopers habit... | |
| Ship to USA only? Highend, guess yo mamma didn't tell ya soon enuf that excessive alcohol comsumption will rot your brain. | |
| Ship to USA only? Even on prepaid items, shipping UPS requires that the item be accompanied by several copies of an invoice. Then canada adds PST, GST and brokerage fees. My canadian buyer was really upset after paying an extra $90 (canadian?) to canada on a US$215... | |
| Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!! Yep Jel, once upon a time I went down the same road you're on. My rig sounded impressive and amazing but it was way analytical. I could hear all the details, but musical coherence was lacking. Everytime a new instrument re-entered the mix I'd go c... | |
| Help! Forte, Linn, Magnepan. NOT RIGHT? At first blush, it sounds like you're dealing with two different issues. The first, the quality of the sound - harsh and fatiguing - sounds like a source issue. Your amps are fairly high-rez so you're likely hearing the character of the CD player ... |
