| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen "O yeah, the ZEN part:stop listening to the equipment.Never try to judge the sonics.Listen to the music."Well said Elizabeth! I enjoy this hobby very much but I am much more sane about it. I was truly out of control for a while buying and selling ... | |
| Good match with Sonus Faber Grand Pianos I just came across this thread and am a little late to the party but very interesting. I use a Cary SLI-80 Integrated and run it in the 40Wx2 mode in my listening room. Maybe my room is not large enough but the Cary powers them effortlessly with n... | |
| Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread... The E46 M3 is one of the closest things to a street legal race car as it gets besides the new Corvette. The M3 sure has come along way since the E30 chassis and the E36. When I went to Skip Barber DS they were still using E30 instruction vehicles ... | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it HEHE, that Ray of Light Disc is a good sounding disc. The other night when my wife was out, I was sifting through tunes and found myself thumbing through Styx Greatest hits. When my wife hears it, she always gives me crap. Funny thread..Chris | |
| Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread... Matti,Yes, I am eyeing the RS4 myself. I have really enjoyed my S4 and love shocking unsuspecting boy racers as I pull away with ease. The car is really a sleeper if you are not familiar with the potential the car offers. Slappy,Mustangs are great... | |
| Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread... I have found this hobby goes hand and hand with High Performance cars and motorcycles. I have a Cary and Sonus Faber set up in my basement listening room with my precious 2002 Audi S4 in the garage.Tweaks/ Performance Tuning on my S4 include:Full ... | |
| Sony's best dedicated cdp before sacd... XA7ES.. I still kick myself for selling mine. An excellent CDP.Chris | |
| How do Adcom power amps sound? Honestly, I would much rather listen to the Cambridge. The Adcom 555 is a somewhat forward and bright amplifier. In this price range, I much rather have a Rotel, a used Forte, a used Counterpoint, or even a Quad. Save your money before you buy a 5... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? I cannot believe this thread is still going. A speaker cannot be judged by the drivers alone. There is much more envolved. Sure JM Lab makes great drivers but guess what, I find their speakers Mechanical and very analytical sounding. Are my ears p... | |
| System Components are Warm but Synergy is Bright? Hmmm.. I think what you are hearing is more detail from the Cary CDP. I would say that your demon is probably the Straight Wire Interconnect. That stuff is BRIGHT! The Rega is a very warm player so the Straight Wire was probably okay with it as a ... | |
| Sonus Faber of Wilson Sophia for McIntosh I have heard both speakers as well. My next pair of speakers will be a pair of Cremonas. I think what strikes me is how the Sonus communicate the music. They are just voiced correctly in my opinion. You can listen for hours and will find yourself ... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Right now the "HYPE" meter is running very HIGH on the Caravelles and the DK Integrated Amplifer! Add in an Audio Aero Prima CD Player and use AudioQuest DBS Cables and you will have the ULTIMATE IN HIGH FIDELITY PERIOD! End of Story! Class A Hype... | |
| Does anyone out there have a liquid system "the only thing thats liquid about my rig is that the gear flows in & out like water."Too Funny! I am the same way! Chris | |
| Does anyone out there have a liquid system I know what you are looking for as I was looking for the same. My system is on the laid back side but that is what I like. It has detail but is not mechanical. Musicality is the key. Stay away from Metal dome speakers and foward bright equipment.G... | |
| Maryland,Wash.DC Metro area Yea, I am in Herndon VA and would be interested! However, if it has anything to do with SoundJerks, count me out.. Chris |
