| What headphones? Have you considered the Sennheiser HDC 451-1 headphone with the noise-cancelling circuitry? The headphone is light, comfortable, and the noise-cancellation system works very well in environments that have a steady-state noise in the background. I ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendation please I sold Klipsch speakers for a year, and concur with the comment from "Rives" -- you will need a subwoofer if you want genuine deep bass. So, start with a subwoofer. If you are still open to suggestions for speaker cable, my recommendation is Alpha... | |
| NEW Pre Amp Processor - Narrowing down the list I have not heard all of the models listed above, but do have some experience with the Krell, Classe, and Anthem. Since I don't know the details of the rest of your system, I will base my advice solely on your comments above, and my own listening e... | |
| Should dealers be able to...... I suppose virtually everyone who spends any time using the Internet has gotten fed up with "spam", so I certainly understand why you might find it irritating for dealers to contact you directly. Having said that, we need to bear in mind that Audio... | |
| What qualifies a "low baller" Speaking solely for myself, I always try to price items fairly -- to me, and to the prospective buyer. I deliberately do not inflate my asking price simply to leave a lot of "haggle room". Hence, I'd define a low-ball offer as one that is more tha... | |
| Best Subwoofer for 1500- 2500???? Weedo:The "more chat" link is at the bottom of the page where all of the discussion topics appear. From this page, you can click on "back" to get to discussion topics list -- then scroll down to the bottom, where you will see the "more chat" link.... | |
| Best Subwoofer for 1500- 2500???? Hi, Weedo:If you go to the bottom of the forum discussion topics, you will see a link titled "more chat". Click on that link, and it will take you to a directory page. On that page, you will find a "search for topic" box (on the right side of the ... | |
| Best Subwoofer for 1500- 2500???? Hi, Weedo:You might want to check the Audiogon archives for several articles I've posted over the past 6-7 months. The first article was a summary of the reviews and ratings of subwoofers by "Widescreen Review" mag, and the most recent one was a s... | |
| Is there such a thing as a good analogue turntable Thorens builds some excellent semi-automatic turntables. In the 1980's, I had a TD-126 Mk3 and thought it offered very good performance. I don't know which specific Thorens model to suggest to you, but their build quality has remained very high (g... | |
| SUBWOOFER FOR MUSIC If your budget will stretch to about $750 for a used sub, there are very few subs that are more musical than the Vandersteen 2Wq. However, Vandersteen recommends that this sub be used with a fairly full-range main speaker, i.e., one that has prett... | |
| Bryston's take on 6.1 & 7.1 surround sound Teeball: In a nutshell, 6.1 (6-channel) and 7.1 (7-channel) surround sound simply add more surround channels. Obviously, you would need either two or four more amplifier channels and corresponding speakers. At the present time, 6.1 and 7.1 are mat... | |
| Any one else have this complaint? Hi, Tireguy:Just for the record, Vandersteen 1C, 2Ce, and 3A speakers have the binding posts mounted about 2/3 of the way up the back from the floor, while the Model is a bit lower. Frankly, I wish they were closer to the floor, since it would tak... | |
| Opera What is the best opera recording? The previous posts are absolutely correct -- choosing one opera is a tough challenge. Rather than tackle an entire opera, you might want to start with highlights from some of the best known operas.My mother was a music major in college, with a con... | |
| Audiogoners-some musical recommendations Hi, Ben:Thanks for the gracious comment, and I think your idea to garner recommendations for newer music is excellent. Since I too get tired of listening to jazz and classical by the same group of artists, I am looking forward to some fresh input.... | |
| Attack of the Clones The Cinerama theater in Seattle, WA, (which was one of the original Cinerama movie houses, and was purchased and given a state-of-the-art makeover by Paul Allen -- yes, the Microsoft Paul Allen) is screening "Attack of the Clones" with a digital p... |
