The Definition of An Audiophile
My reference has been live music(acoustic and amplified)as a sound tech for the past 30+ years. Rest assured: You have opened a can of worms with this thread. Live music is absolutely not "cold and sterile" unless terribly mal-adjusted by the soun...

I'd have to personally know a used vinyl's history before I'd spend $60.00 on it. It may have been subjected to a second cutting lathe! I don't know how old DS is, but he was already a symphony orchestra performer(trumpet) when he quit to start Ma...

Hey Dave- I got the 'Cannon' yesterday. Gotta love those horns! Doug Sax has yet to let me down(took me right into the studio). I think it's great they brought Nancy Wilson in to do her bit on this tribute. The album she and Adderley did in the ea...

I'm using a Hafler TransNova 9505, which provides a very fast and accurate bass with my transmission-line woofers(actively bi-amped). If you are looking for a lower-budget/high-slam factor: Look at the "Best amp for the cost of dirt" thread in her...

Listener57- I don't believe anyone replied to your question. A system with bi-wire provision(4 terminals) and jumpers installed, is connected the same as a system without bi-wire capability(two terminals). One HDL will connect to, and affect all d... 
Two terms I don't understand - please explain
I figured I'd let the dust settle B4 letting the originator define his own terms(more fun that way). Happy toe-tapping!

JUST FYI- Martin Colloms(Who happens to have an Electro-Acoustics Engineering Degree, as they call them in England, has authored a number of AES papers and books on speaker design,etc) is credited with coining the term, "pace". Here are his views ...
