| 33 1/2 compared to 45 rpm ???? 33 = Long Play => same idea as you video camera long play or photo image sixe "small" on your camera (basically compressed). Before CD arrived I used to buy everything I liked and could get my hands on in 45 RPM format for this very reason. Nig... | |
| Mbl Magic? MBL isn't the only manuracturer who gives these characteristic high priority. Yes this wide even dispersion charateristic was demonstrated by Dr. Floyd Toole in listening tests in the 70's as sounding most pleasing, natural and life-like convinci... | |
| Something missing? I quite agree with Ditusa - a cymbal crash is intense and very loud in real life. Horns will do it. Intense transients from percussion is where most systems fail most noticeably. Even Piano (a percussive instrument) often sounds to soft. Change yo... | |
| Best Recording of Music Bill,Thanks for the suggestions - Just ordered one and I will stop buy and pick up the other on my way home tonight. Citizen, by Steely Dan and I would have to put that at the top of my list. These guys were genius' in the care they took in how an... | |
| Right Time, Right Place Lucky you - did you realize that your wife had been doing some spring cleaning - sounds like the rest of your stuff she dumped out on the street went real fast - at least you go the book case back ;-) | |
| Hairdryer for Sale on Gon If you check out Mike's system you will see that de-ionizing is being taken quite seriously by ultra high-enders. I would be unlikely to benefit from this tweak given my crap Sony sources and HT preamp - so it is not a path that IO will try. Howev... | |
| Heres my plan, input please. Sounds like a great plan. I'd say you really are on the right track. It is wise to think HT from the get go when starting out today. Secondly, using the same speaker manufacturer for all surround is extremely wise - many people ignore this, and mi... | |

| JM labs Utopia vs JM labs Nova? I agree with Bar81 - simply too much bass. | |
| Power conditioner or not? I am confused! Per Naim's recommendations, no power conditioner needed. I have a Naim system, what do you think? Bryston manuals say the same. That is the way it should be in a good product. However, with switched mode power supplies common these... | |
| TADs SS Hibachi Amps Each 12" woofer is ported If you see a small box speaker with small woofers and ports then generally you can guess that it is for bass extension (often underdamped).If you see a very large box speaker with large woofer and large ports then it can... | |
| Active Speakers: The usual suspects .... Many people criticize active speakers for having built-in amps, their reasons vary. I'm not sure whether it matters, but I can see the benefits of external.Internal amps can suffer from microphonics - it requires choosing components and gain desi... | |
| "switching" noises from SS Class-AB amps Some Class AB amps will run in entirely Class A until they reach a certain high output level. At high output levels distortion from switching is very difficult to hear. They usually use a form of sliding bias. So you get the best of both worlds - ... | |
| Thiel CS7.2 vs Aerial 20T I suspect that pointing out obvious differences between these two speakers will result in upsetting either Aerial 20T owners or Thiel owners.... These are both excellent choices and you should be very happy with either. | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 You just weren't paying attention...To true ...I really didn't get it. |
