| What's more important; sound or brand name? Either that, or she's gone off the deep end : ) Sean> | |
| What's more important; sound or brand name? I've always said "buy what YOU like and will make YOU happy". If it is a big brand name or something built out of a garage, if it costs a small fortune or was found at the local "resale shop", it really doesn't matter. It also doesn't matter what ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 or Pass Labs Aleph 30 Pairing the Triangle's with an MF product will result in an overtly lean presentation in my opinion. The Aleph will surely sound warmer and fuller but it too lacks the extreme bottom end. If i had to choose between the two of them with your specif... | |
| Hubbell HG, Surge Protected & IG, Anyone use this? For the record, Bob is employed in a field that is extremely high tech and 100% dependent on clean and reliable AC. If his "shop", which is loaded with phenomenally expensive audio / video / RF / computer gear has dozens upon dozens of antennas on... | |
| Hubbell HG, Surge Protected & IG, Anyone use this? Zorpman: I agree whole-heartedly. Only thing is, some folks have had different i.e. "first hand" experiences in this type of situation. As such, going through the hassle of having to file a claim, fighting with the insurance company, replacing you... | |
| B&K amps- Compared to ........... Mwilson hit it on the head in just about every aspect. I've noticed the same thing in terms of the voicing of B&K products over the years. Other than that, they have very good customer service, especially if you can talk / deal with Jerry. Sea... | |
| B&K or Parasound? As a general rule based on past amplifier production, Parasound has a tendency towards giving you a brighter and leaner presentation. Earlier B&K products were noted for being warmer and smoother, especially their first series of products, but... | |
| Audio articles of interest Here's another source of interesting info on "the final frontier" of trying to obtain a good sound system. While they were found on ASC's website, the main articles worth reading were about room acoustics and another about the proper selection and... | |
| "Parts upgrade" on crossovers -Any experiences? Pelv: Is this Elvis P in disguise ??? : )Long fiber wool is the best for internal damping followed by fiberglass with everything else a distant third. Altering the quantity and density of damping material will alter tonal balance and attack charac... | |
| Is There Big Trouble Brewing? Much of the difference in "quality" back in the day has to do with the fact that most performers used to have to fill up an LP, not a CD. As such, 30 - 40 minutes of "quality" music was easier to come by than 60 - 80 minutes worth. Nowadays, if an... | |
| Audio articles of interest This is not to say that i endorse or agree with the findings / point of view of this person, but those that are interest in the differences of passive parts, especially capacitors, should take a look at this website. The author writes and tries to... | |
| $250 used speaker cables for warm system My thoughts regarding folks using the 47 Labs type of cable are that they do not listen at sustained high spl's, nor do they have woofers with large motor structures that are capable of long excursion. My guess is that these type of speaker cables... | |
| Do SACD player start up slower The Philips SACD 1000 also takes measurably longer to read a disc. I think that the combo units do this as they have to differentiate between whether it is a cd, dvd or sacd. If it senses that the disc is an SACD, it has to decode whether they are... | |
| Who's to blame for the Grain?? If you like the convenience of your multi-disc arrangement, look into purchasing a DAC. If your player only has an optical out, i would recommend a Cal Audio Labs unit. If it has a coaxial digital out, i would opt for an EVS Millennium unit. The E... | |
| NYAL booklet- Any value Mine showed up today too. I am amazed at how fast it made it to the Chicagoland area from Texas. THANK YOU for taking the time to do this for us Sherod. You should have something in your mailbox sometime later this week : ) Sean> |
