| Speakers Needed: Audiophile Taste - Low Budget I love my pair of Vandersteen 1Cs, supplemented by an ACI Titan II LE subwoofer, for music and the occaisional movie. If you have the room, a pair of Vandersteen 2Ces (used) will produce a taller soundstage. | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? I love/need the music. My $4500 2-channel audio system delivers recorded music just fine for me (and my budget). 99.95% of the time I'm responding directly to the recorded music, rather than to equipment issues, which I guess means (for the purpos... | |
| Why no analogue at Audioreview.com ??? I think one must exercise a high degree of skepticism, critical thinking, and insight at any of the audio sites, including this one, because of the anonymity of the web and the varying human motives put into play by posters, readers, and even mode... | |
| how many have a WAF? I've lived with my wonderful wife for about 26 years, married for 24. | |
| Audio Research CD3 The CD2 is my favorite-sounding CD player. Before that, it was the CD1. I can only assume that the CD3 is even better than the CD2. If only I could afford an Audio Research CD player with my NAD budget ... | |
| CD Player Recommendation I have listened to the ARC CD2 and CD1, my two favorite CD players at any price. If I had your budget, I would try to get a CD2. | |
| Help with purchase of power conditioner I've heard a significant reduction in noise and improved definition and subtlety in a friend's audio system, since he started using a Monster Power conditioner (model 2000). He has very noisy power coming into his house, attributed to the school a... | |
| 750 or so -- B&W 602, Vandersteen 1C, or...? I love the natural, open, non-fatiguing Vandersteen sound. I have a pair of Vandersteen 1C, which I have powered by a 60 watt/channel NAD integrated amplifier. They do a very nice job with most music. If you supplement them with a fine subwoofer (... | |
| Cambridge or Music Hall?? I got my NAD C541i for $435, including shipping from California to Michigan. Between the Cambridge and Music Hall, I'd go with the Music Hall CD-25. It looked and sounded great (in a dealer's otherwise High-end system in his home). I was less impr... | |
| Dinah Washington - well recorded recommendations The music is great, and it has a nice live sound for that time. | |
| CD Recorder I have a Pioneer PDR-609, and I really like it. It's easy to use, and the copies of CDs sound virtually the same as the originals. Recordings from analog sources sound great too. A friend has a professional recorder. The main difference is that he... | |
| Best value power condtioners....Used is ok A friend got a significantly reduced noise floor and increased clarity and dynamics with a Monster power conditioner that he bought new for about $120. He has an Audio Research amplifier and preamplifier and Vandersteen 2Ce speakers (sounds great)... | |
| subwoofer setup problem My transmission-line ported Vandersteen 1Cs are rated to be 3dB down at 38 Hz. I got excellent integration of my Titan II LE (located slightly forward and to the right of the Vandys) with the sub's crossover set 24db down at about 40 Hz.Mostly bec... | |
| Live or Recorded; A Faustian response If I could hear/see great live music every day, I would. However, due to geographical, financial, and temporal constraints, I derive over 99% of my musical pleasure from recorded performances. | |
| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? I must keep my music options open. There's so much music in the world. |
