| Does Avergae CD Player + DAC = Average Sound? If you can't tell the difference between an Arcam and a Technics, you are not listening blind, you are listening deaf : ) Sean> | |
| Did Howie Mandell of Altis pass away Yes, i remember reading this in several places ( here and on AA ). Do a search over at AA in the General forum for more info. Sean> | |
| Rock albums that sound good on your system? The first "rock" album that came to mind that was not already mentioned ( Pink Floyd ) was "Wishmaster" by a band called Nightwish. I found them by reading reviews on Amazon. Think of talented and somewhat versatile "metal" band with refined produ... | |
| Imaging I think that smaller speakers ( especially two ways ) have several distinct advantages over larger speakers:1) The drivers are closer together, creating more of an illusion of a point source2) There is less baffle area for diffraction3) There is l... | |
| which amp? too many choices Just wanted to clarify that the poster did not mention the Sunfire. The Cinenova Grand is a product from Earthquake and is not the same as the Sunfire Cinema Grand. Even with the similarities in names, i have no idea as to how they compare sonical... | |
| I'm Freaked Out by this Tube comparison I don't doubt your experience in the least. Welcome to the variables of tubes. I was trying to discuss this same thing in another thread, so you might want to take a look at it also. Sean>http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&101536... | |
| Where can I get RAM super low noise tubes? Roger, thanks for dropping in. It is a pleasure having someone of your caliber joining the conversation. I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions and throwing a few comments / observations your way while we have your attention. Even wit... | |
| I know Audiogon is the best for buying and selling I have posted identical listings on Audiogon, Audioweb, Audioshopper and Audioreview. Guess where i received the most inquiries and sales from ? Audiogon. I could add up all of the others put together and they don't come near the results that i've... | |
| What's an Electron Kinetics Eagle 7A worth? No problem George. I thought that you were looking at a tag on the back that specified power consumption, etc... I would assume that you've never had that thing running wide open though at that level. It almost makes me think that there is somethi... | |

| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Talk about coincidences !?!?!?! Huff is the manufacturer that i was talking about. As luck would have it, he will be demo'ing his products at the next Chicago Audio Society meeting. Boy, i can't wait for this : ) Sean>http://www.huffloudspeaker... | |
| Brightness Differences Between Daytime and Evening Buckingham, if you get the chance, take a listen to your system in the wee hours of the morning. I am talking about the time that most people are sleeping i.e. 12 - 1 at night and up to about 6 AM or so. I can literally hear an abrupt change every... | |
| Preamps in general Bookner and Mdomnick ( or anyone else for that matter ), drop me a line if you're interested on comparing notes or if you have questions on the Sunfire TG II. I can't say i'm anywhere near being an expert on this unit, but i can relate my findings... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Regardless of who said it, i don't think that bi-wiring comes even REMOTELY close to actively bi-amping. The results of bypassing passive crossover networks and going "direct drive" is pretty staggering to say the least. Notice the key word here i... | |
| DVD vs. LD visually. Can't say that i've watched a lot of laser discs, but out of what i have seen, DVD is typically better. The LD player that i have may need calibration though. Given the cost of the unit and how little i've used it, i've been afraid to take it in f... |
