| Rock and Roll Snobbery ben, this *one* cd, by a reknowned rock legend, is the only one i know about that seems to fit the model of what's being released to appeal to the *gen-x* crowd. not much new pop-music interests me, so i can't say i know one way or the other, whet... | |
| Best new amp under $2k? hey magasam, that's what i like about sam tellig - i could swear that he liked the belles best, even tho he said technically it wood prolly only get a *b* rating instead of the *a* that the m/f amp got... ;~)doug | |

| Rock and Roll Snobbery i never bought santana's grammy-award-winning cd *supernatural*, cuz i read how dynamically compressed the recording was, so i don't know if it really is or not, but it's supposed to be. i bought it when i found it on vinyl, & the vinyl versio... | |
| Help-sibilance! no, i don't have newforms - i'm holding out for a custom pair w/accuton midwoofs replacing the scan-speak revelator midwoofs - these ceramic drivers are even *faster* than the scan-speaks, & i tink they'll mate that much better w/the newforms'... | |

| Attenuator puzzles bat sez their attenuators are: "140 step electronic shunt volume attenuator with .5dB steps." they are also remote-control, at an option. aren't these similar to the shallco's?the best attenuator i heard was melos' photentiometer, which used the b... | |
| Rock and Roll Snobbery onhwy61 sez: "...Furthermore, most pop/rock recordings are not mixed to be played on high resolution systems. The producers, engineers and the musicians make assumptions about how their music is most likely to be heard (MTV, car radio, boombox, et... | |
| Best Phono stage under $1200? Audiomat? based upon michael fremer's review, i'd say the camelot fono-stage would be at the top of my audition-list. based upon the comments of others a short while ago, when i was also looking for a reasonable fono-stage, i'd say the aragon 47k would also... | |
| Rock and Roll Snobbery hi charles, i agree w/ewe - a *great* system should do *everything* well. it has to for me, cuz i like small acoustical stuff, as well as loud raucous music. that said, not everyone is like me, & there *are* some speakers - martin logan cls' c... | |
| system matching help if ya wanna have a combo h-t/audio system, get a preamp that has a default signal processor input - this allows a h-t processor to be plugged-in, and when ya select that imnput on the preamp, it defaults all controls to the processor, allowing vol... | |
| Advice Required miked, i tink yule get the biggest sonic improvement by getting an audio-only preamp - probably tubed - and run all your audio gear thru *it*. it wouldn't surprise me at all if yer current cd-player, run thru a nice tubed preamp, would sound bette... | |
| Martin logan prodigies patou,i'd look into the newform research nhb645's or r645's. check out their www & the reviews at audioreview. at ~$2250 delivered, w/30-day in-home audition, there'd be lotsa $$$ left over for a sub system... ;~)doug | |
| Advice on cartridges! medhorn, yer fono-stage has to have lotsa lo-noise gain to use a lo-output m/c. if it does, then i'd recommend a lo-output m/c vs a higher-output coil. many mfr's make the same cartridge w/different output specs, & i've never read about *any* ... |
