| is audiogon good for the audio industry or bad? I would happily spend my money at Essential Audio. I just spent 2000 at Magnolia hifi in Los Angeles. One point that I was trying to make is shops should be welcoming us into their doors as foot traffic is a good thing. We may not spend money ever... | |
| is audiogon good for the audio industry or bad? Seems to me anything that gets a customer into a retail shop should be a good thing. The problem with high end is that if you are an audiophile on a budget, most stores suck. We are just too picky and want to be able to test drive things in our ow... | |
| Laptop direct to power amp? I use the headphone out from my mac in my bedroom system. I am running through a homemade pair of interconnects to an adcom amp to a pair of modded maggies mmgs. The amp and speakers cost me 500 bucks and the rig is almost as musical as my main sy... | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF I had quad 63s, maggies, meadowlark, soliloquy and the speakers I enjoyed the most were anthony gallo adiva's that I got dirt cheap when Good Guys went under. I would check into some of Gallos new stuff. The Adiva TIs work beautifully on wall and ... | |
| Opinions wanted Do you need 7 channels? There have been some great deals on Primare amps lately. Big step up from your NAD | |
| Speakers for the ears, eyes, and for the decade If I lose my job I will come sing for you for $30,000 a year. I sound very life-like and will be around for at least another decade. Of course I get irritating after awhile, so, the relaxed thing doesn't quite fit. | |
| Need to downgrade any advice?? keep your europas and get a good used amp to power them. my mac mini is connected to a pass labs clone from the headphone out jack and powering a pair of Spica TC-50s. I've also used cheap adcoms that work very well as well. | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? Doesn't matter what degree you may have. If you don't know that you need to sit in the sweet-spot and actually listen to the music coming from the system you will never hear any difference in cables. Most people just don't have the patience to sit... | |
| How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help My guess goes to the goertz cables being the culprit. I was wondering if you had goertz cables even before I read through. I had the same cables on an electrocompaniet eci3 integrated amp. The amp started shutting down a few months after i bought ... | |
| Article on blind testing at CEC Fairly interesting article. Over the years I've realized that most people find it uncomfortable and strange to sit 8 feet in front of a pair of speakers and stare between them when there is no movie on. They don't see the point. Most people can't ... | |
| Good sounding, small center speaker the gallos make superb center speakers as long as you have the speakers rolled off correctly with the bass managemet system. The a'diva system i had was one of the most musical systems i have owned. you wont be dissapointed. | |
| First Post - The Long Road Back - Warning: Lo-Fi maybe you should try Arcam or NAD, or Outlaw audio HT recievers before giving up the home theater idea. I was very surprised as to how good some current recievers actually sound. I had a cheap HarmonKardon reciever for a while and was surprised at... | |
| decent sounding mini system aw.... as a med student you should be using your laptop or computer as your source. Buy a decent amp. You can find many amps here between 200 and400 bucks. A linn amp or parasound or NAD or rotel would be fine. Then find a pair of small monitors (... | |
| iPod directly into amp i will go back to my original statement that the headphone out jack will power most amps quite well.. but maybe not to full volume and the sound will surprise you. I don't think the output of the iPod is much diferent then the headphone out on my ... | |
| iPod directly into amp You shouldn't have any problems at all using your ipod as a source and preamp with most amps. The one major problem u may have is having enough output from the headphone amp of the ipod to drive the amp to full power, however, unless you are a hea... |
