| Is the big sound from the big names? I have been friends with the owners of what was (and still is today by comparision to big international companies) a very, very small company. We are talking here of two guys, a briliant design, and not much in financial and manufacturing power. Y... | |
| Comments on Magnum Dynalab MD-208 receiver Hello,I am a past owner of this unit. For me, it was a BIG letdown. First of all, on the amplifier front, mine had Sim Audio innards. But not the upscale (so some say) Moon line with premium parts, but the more ''economy'' now defunct Celeste line... | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Two of them actually, not well known..1. ''Safety Dance'' by Men Without HatsNot exactly audiophile, but great fun nevertheless.... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Mine was, at the age of 12 '' Tom Jones Live at the Flamenco in Las Vegas'' I did not have a clue who Tom Jones was, I just wanted to buy my first LP. Listened to this record for a whole year before getting my second LP, SGT Pepper's Lonely Hearts... | |
| What does Holographic mean to you? My own personnal definition is that holographic refers to the depth, front and back, hearing percussions 15 feet INTO your wall and behind the speakers. By comparison, imaging means the overall picture, and this may include the holographic effect ... | |
| AudioPrism Quiet Lines It's the CHEAPEST way to get slightly better, cleaner sound. I have only ONE of these plugged in, and I can hear it's contribution. | |

| A shocking reminder I once blew my speakers with this. I had a Sim Audio 1-5, when the static spark came on, the volume setting (electronic) went for ''o'' to ''50''. I could never get any damage $ from Sim for this, but apparently they have fixed the problem and mad... | |
| Upgrade to Simaudio or keep my Classe? I once owned both of these...Classé sounded warmer and refined, Sim: quicker, and more spectacular on short litening runs, but also dry and not involving musically speaking, listening fatiques comes quite early once the initial ''wow-have-you-hear... | |
| Moon Nova or Eclipse? Hello,I am a past owner of two SIM I-5 integrateds ( didn't learn the first time around) and I honestly feel that this ''house sound'' that the SIM have is faulty to begin with. I tried desperately to match the I-5 with a host of speakers and cd p... | |
| Which artists do you just NOW get? I used to not being able to stand Frank Sinatra and Harry Belafonte....a few years ago, I purchased the Carnegie Hall Belafonte concert and following that the Sinatra at the SANDS cd. Holy cow, these guys were great.... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Diana Krall, she cannot hold a sound for more that 3 seconds...really gets on my nerves. Furthermore, all photos of her (and her Ads for Chrysler) are trying to make her look like a feminine, sexy woman. Pardon my expression, but, I think she has ... | |
| Frank Sinatra at The Sands-Live........ I own the cd-version of this Sinatra release, pretty good, even in cd form. As for tony Bennet, try the SACD version of his Unplugged recording...pretty nice vocals and sonics ! | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Hard answer to find, and it is mostly personal for most. I am willing to share mine. I used to have 15K speakers, 3K preamp, 5K amplifier and so on....total cost of system around 25K. I downgraded with a smile, although I do admit that the smile c... | |
