| Question for users of bare wire ends speaker cable Anytime there is an "exchange of ideas", there is "bickering" taking place. Each party is "arguing" or "presenting" their side of the story. This is NOT to say that understanding or learning can't come out of a "heated discussion". With that in mi... | |
| CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ? The "fully modified" Pioneer DVD from Stan Warren can't hang with a better quality red book player. Stan himself will tell you that it will not have the bass impact, body, pace, tempo or warmth of a "good" cd player that is considered "musical". A... | |
| Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland Since all we are doing with this thread is voicing which product lines we personally prefer, mark me down for either the Pass or Rowland. I agree with a previous comment that the Rowland will probably hold its value the best. Sean> | |
| An idea that has arrived There was a place similar to what you mention where i live. This was appr 4 or 5 years ago though. They converted an old theater to a "dinner & a show" type place. Real "meals" ( not fast food slop ) and drinks served while you view the movie,... | |
| Feeding Maggie Pragmatist, just LOVED your above response: "My budget is what is necessary (used,in a buyer's market) to match Maggies' capabilities, but not any more. I don't want to buy redundant quality or quantity or both." It is NO wonder you liked what Rog... | |
| Skipping vs. Drop Outs not "High School " hey JB, since we've got you here, can i ask you a question ? Good and thanks : )What do they use to "seal" CD's ? If you look at the edges of them, it almost looks like they put some type of varnish or lacquer type material on them. Sean> | |
| Question for users of bare wire ends speaker cable Ehider, you are touching on MANY of the subjects that Jon is trying to cover over at AA in the cable forum. I do NOT attribute all of the differences amongst cables strictly to "skin effect". Then again, if what we were hearing was merely a matter... | |
| Tweaks I don't know about all of this stuff. I can say that i am getting SO "pissed" about this "wire is wire" crap that i'm about ready to hook up my scope and start taking measurements / comparing waveforms for myself. Some of the differences that i've... | |
| Rock and Roll System Duke, where ya been ??? Is business THAT good that you don't have time to play on the puter anymore ??? : ) Sean> | |
| How do Klipschorns compare with modern designs? Most horn based systems, even those with direct radiating woofers, tend to suffer from the following problems:1) The frequency chosen to cross between the woofer and mid is in a very critical area. This creates un-natural peaks, dips and overlap b... | |
| Best used amp for around 500 Thanks for filling me in Clueless. Glad to see that you're not afraid to get your hands dirty too : ) While i sometimes hook up different speakers there, i am usually using a set of modded La Scala's or Heresy's. I currently have the Heresy's GUTT... | |
| female needs expert advice Tarbishaw, everyone hears things differently, has different systems and has different personal preferences. As such, take ALL recommendations or comments with a grain of salt. This includes mine too. Listen for yourself, try to absorb as many thou... | |
| Does a CD Transport need to be HDCD ALSO? Good points Ghostrider. Thanks for taking ALL of the factors into consideration. Some of the "extra's" are sometimes easy to overlook. Sean> | |
| Levinson separates vs. Audio Aero Capitole Craigza, that was a VERY fair and impartial assesment on your part. It is information like this that makes these forums worthwhile. Sean> | |
| CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ? Depends on what is done and the quality of the parts that are used. Simply changing some coupling caps to higher grade pieces and adding increased reserve to the power supply can make a VERY noticeable difference. Not only is the noise floor lower... |
