| Boulder has full page ad in Du-pont registry It is about the Luxury market, not the audio market, and their motivation is unlike the high-end market.Ironically, it may also work with the ''Stereophile'' market, meaning not the Luxury buyer but the audiophile with means.Honda entered the F1 y... | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? Ok, so my thread is 9 years young now, how about giving it another spin?My initial story hasn't changed, but would enjoy reading more from fellow 'Agoners ! (and thanks to Audiogon for keeping those older threads alive) | |
| Whats your current Reference CD at the moment? I have a few ''reference CD's for studio sound recordings.But for live concert sound, I have two.1. Neil Young at Massey Hall, exquisite.2. Harry Belafonte Live at Carnegie Hall - truly incredible. | |
| Johnny Clegg Saw him twice in concert years ago.A refreshing act and sound to say the least! | |
| Need Help finding Speakers Budget 20,000 US Here's my take on your quest in spending 20K.1. Buy a pair of Sonus Faber - used but mint, for 5K or less. 2. Buy a few bottles of wine - the good stuff. All speakers sound GREAT after 3 glasses anyway - even a Bose Soundwave system.3. Buy 2 round... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? I find this thread most entertaining and of course ridiculous. Oppo's success has been a consumer-driven success, unlike, let's say, a product like Magico speakers that have seen countless ''reviews'' in the Absolute Sound. You would think that Ab... | |
| What reviews do you trust if any? I take most reviews as product information, entertainment, but absolute ZERO, NIL, NADA, NIET credibility as to their conclusions and listening comments.It is all so subjective anyways you look at it.How many PAGES have appeared on Magico products... | |
| i hear sim audio amps are unreliable Well...I have a well documented horror story about my hate-affair with the ''Moon Trilogy'' - meaning the Product (a Moon I-5 integrated amp) - the Dealer (name withheld - it has been awhile, but I do regret not flaming the J*rk) - and the Company... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? Man, is this an entertaining thread or what!Lot's of frustrated closed-minded individual stuck in the snobbish audio-prison!Who cares of one's solution for attaining enjoyment from his sound system. Cables, tone controls, equalizers, secret magica... | |
| At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp? Simple: You stop upgrading when you stop having fun doing so. Or when other priorities set in and no longer can afford the toys. Nothing to do with age really. | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? Let me be perfectly frank and repeat what I have previously written numerous times before:Whether your are listening to an ear-bleeding boom-box or a mega-dollar high-end system, they all sound pretty good after 3 glasses of wine - and listener fa... | |
| Which Coax Cable Do You Prefer Using? Digital cables are probably the items where a small increment in improvement will cost the most money.The Audioquest Eagle Eye digital with the dBS (battery) system is obscenely expensive in my view, but not a bad purchase if you can find it used.... | |
| Should the better AC cable be used on Amp? Source? ''Replies and opinions will be all over the map''I think that this statement in itself says a lot about the lack of consensus on this question, and therefore is probably the best answer too.It would be great to have a remote-controlled switch box ... | |
| Which Coax Cable Do You Prefer Using? I am using the AUDIOQUEST - EAGLE EYE DIGITAL CABLE with the dBS system.Prior to listening to this cable (I had it on loan a full week), I used to think that the dBS plastic box hanging from the cable was in fact a water-tight case where the ''sna... |
