| which is your favorite inexpensive stereo system? I agree with Bob, again. Another example would be a new NHT M-00 and a S-20 and NHT PVC for $900 and then add a CD player - surely your friend has a CD player already? If not there are many decent CD players that you could pick up used or on sale ... | |
| How do you train your ears? I think there are two separate things "knowledge of sonics and sound" and "music appreciation". They are different. For example The Alton Everest book will allow you to train your ears to recognize what is wrong with a system. It teaches you about... | |
| Anybody tried Naim integrated with ATC speakers? Might a smallish one, in wattage terms (ex: Naim, Sugden, LFD) sound better than a bigger one ( ex: Krell, Musical Fidelity) with the sensitive AND less sensitive speakers, or do the insensitive speakers always need more wattage, in order to have... | |
| Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers Agree with Bob, again. | |
| AVM 20 or AVM 30 vs Mid-Fi Yamaha Receiver I have an AVM 20 and it is fine. Good solid AtoD and DtoA converters - you will probably get a little jitter on digital inputs though (just because of the interface) - but the analog direct is clean and the volume control is superb (resistor netwo... | |
| Why gold? As usual: The inexperienced and unknowing, decrying experiments, conclusions and science from their pulpits of abject ignorance. You're welcome to "The Last Word!" | |
| AudioKinesis Auditorium Beta - First Impressions Interesting. Thanks and yes can we have some pics? | |
| Why gold? I suppose it's because they never get to any quality recording venues, and/or have never seen what they actually use. Perhaps, they just don't have training in "alchemy"? ;-)Djembeplay,Don't worry - your ordinary connectors are not stealing the a... | |
| I could cry Time to teach the feline some music appreciation. May I suggest for some heavy rotation, at 110 db SPL: Cat Scratch Fever | |
| Center channels: why only horizontal arrays? If you cannot get decent mid and tweeter alignment between center and mains the I'd recommend you go phantom for a small audience of one or two. More trouble than it is worth in many cases but you'll definitely need one if you have a crowd over wi... | |
| Why gold? It is expensive but totally unnecessary. Don't worry you are not missing out. Perhaps you may need to clean you connections more often or give the RCA jacks a a twist now and then to ensure a good connection but that is about it. FWIW: It is rare ... | |
| I'm a Consumer Reports sort of guy. Is there a pla Bryston or Crown amps will be up your street. Built like a rock. | |
| In wall surrounds. I don't think that in ceiling speakers work all that well. Otherwise it is nice and clean looking. Paradigm make some very good inwalls - I teeny B&W's inwalls around the house - they are pretty good and convenient - good for the kitchen and h... | |
| This funny Funny because we will still have "Audiophiles" listen with the Eyes not their EARS!! That is the whole reason why it makes more sense for a manufacturer to add some nice cosmetic styling and a nice veneer on a speaker rather than throw money into... | |
| This funny most tweaks and cable claims are just plain marketing hype and a complete sham. Unfortunately for everyone concerned. Perhaps, just maybe, collectively audiophiles tend to get what they merit - lets face it, manufacturers are only around if they ... |
