| Single driver speakers - opinions Jeff (Cardersound),The Frugal Horn website shows a modelled frequency response curve for the Sachiko, on which the Madison is based I believe. The curve has some mean dips in the lower mid-range area. Can you tell me to what these are due? Are the... | |
| Review: Cardersound Madison Speaker Greetings Pauly,The Frugal Horn website shows a modelled frequency response curve for the Sachiko, on which the Madison is based I believe. The curve has some mean dips in the lower mid-range area. Do you notice this? Do those dips even themselves... | |
| New Sony Back-Lit LED ... When? The launch date in Japan appears to be the 10th of October for the two top end ones, which are the Bravia KDL - 46XR1 and the 55XR1. Advance street prices are about $4800 and $6000 right now when translated into dollar terms, but I would bet that ... | |
| Holographic imaging I carry "memories" of live music, and still attend performances from time to time (but recently I hardly ever get the time) but I tend not to use live music as a benchmark except for some classical music - specifically chamber music. For me, there... | |
| New Sony Back-Lit LED ... When? It is (or at least was when this news was brought out last year about this time) supposed to be XBR8. I saw another announcement maybe 2mos ago saying the same thing. In Japan, the XR1 series of 46" and 55" LED backlit TVs is coming out in October... | |
| Rig building - When or Why, do you change devices? I expect that there is a considerable psychological bias to liking the "new" thing more than the old. Just by entertaining the idea of trying the new thing probably leaves us with a predisposition towards the new one. How do we know that we want t... | |
| The Most You Have Paid For Shipping Oregon, You're right. The trap is that the cost of flying to Thailand (even getting tickets through a bucketshop) has skyrocketed. | |
| the differences between sacd players It may. Then again, it may not. Sufficient is such an inadequate word. My hypothesis is that there are a whole bunch of things which go in to making a digital source sound good. Some are transport stability, jitter of digital signal protocol, powe... | |
| The latest flavour of the month speaker I'm with Timrhu. I applaud those out there willing to spend their money to live at the bleeding edge of great sound at great cost. I also applaud those who will buy it secondhand and bleed a bit less when they sell it on. I expect almost everythin... | |
| Best jazz covers of rock songs Grimace, I'm with you.Martykl, if you were to see the Bad Plus in concert doing Iron Man, you'd see a GREAT jazz cover of a rock song. That said, I don't really like the Bad Plus covers of Abba (then again, I'm not an Abba fan). | |
| 3-d sounding headphones..... I do not know for the $200 budget. If you can ever find a pair of AKG K1000s used, they redefine the headphone experience; but they are more of an ear-speaker set close to your head than really being a headphone. | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? Collecting Japanese bamboo baskets (may not sound like an art form but believe me it is) - mostly artists from the first and second quarters of the 20th century rather than contemporary artists - and as of very recently, rebuilding/restoring a Tai... | |
| Japanese Voltage and Power Cord Settings? Outlier, are you moving to Japan? If you use power-conditioning, there are some good Japan-made power conditioners, wave-formers, and such which also act as step-up transformers. Many are made by a company called CSE. They are available used from ... | |
| What is the best semi automatic TT around 1000$ I like the Yamaha PX-2. | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? There will have to be some kind of chip inside the Wadia, as it supposedly has to address the iPod with some kind of coded "greeting" which allows the iPod to output digital. But chips is chips. Personally, I was surprised the Wadia was announced ... |
