Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i.......
Thanks a million guys ~ScottmacI have been doing a bit of digging around reviews etc today and while I have never owned headphones, very high end ones at least, I am reading that the Senn HD 800s are incredible for soundstaging - this is what ever... 
Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i.......
Thanks guys - some good info there. Great to know I can ALWAYS rely on this site for some guaranteed feedback. I have been beating my head off the wall for the last couple of days trying to sort out some audio problems (studio) and posted on a mai... 
Artists of the Decade
Chashmal...... Could you please explain to me what makes listening to a cutting edge music genre that is full of wit, talent, superb production skills along with all the other elements (turntablism, breakdancing etc), not to mention the incredible... 
When will rap music be less mainstream?
BongoForget the Bay Area - I am off for a few months to the land of big bums and Bossa Nova....so if you should ever find yourself down that way just pop me an email. Hey, there is a whole new sound breaking loose from the favela's down there - Ba... 
When will rap music be less mainstream?
BongofuryI guess they are all off the computer and checking out all the great music we turned them onto. As for me, I am just chilling at home listening to loads of great music from the 70s mixed up with a healthy dose of Mahler and Beethoven. You... 
What is meant by a "fast" pre amp
PhdYes, I got that - I was just referring to the "sounding" bit.As for me, I am just a listener and am happy to let brainy people like Almarg (who obviously loves the technical challenges) do the dirty work for me.Your quip about heavy amps got me... 
What is meant by a "fast" pre amp
AlmargThat was a hell of an answer. You are always one to dig deep when it comes to figuring this stuff out - good to know you are around. 
What is meant by a "fast" pre amp
I am pretty ignorant regarding the technical aspects of an amp, but, surely if it sounded faster, that is, if the sounds don't take long for the attack and the decay then a CD with a song length read-out of, say, five minutes exactly would play sh...

BRF............Are you serious?? The guy asked for audio help, not english lessons. 
Connecting a subwoofer.....
Thanks a lot so far guys. I was starting to think that maybe I couldn't use a sub with my set-up. Problem is, I have my gear in another country where I am going. If I had it here I am sure I could figure it out. I just want to make sure I have the... 
Connecting a subwoofer.....
Xt16Yes, I am familiar with that but I am not aware of other subs with Hi Level out. The REL seems to me the only ones I can use with a Naim Nait 5i that has no pre-out. To hook other subs up to this amp isn't possible apparently because of the la...

HXT1Did I just speak without moving my lips......... ooops, sorry it was you.I agree with everything you noted. An open-mind makes for a healthy life and mind.Welcome to the club, small as it is on here, and as Bongofury noted "outnumbered but nev... 
Subwoofer into Naim Nait 5i with no pre-out......
Muzikat, Smol;, Stanwal - thanks. I had realized that in order to go through the tape I would need to adjust the sub every time I adjusted my volume. This is far from ideal but maybe I am stuck with it unless I can find passive box like you sugges... 
Mark Knophler; recommended music??
EntropeThanks for jogging my memory on that one!!I was out of the country last year and a friend was playing this in his car, I saw it was the Notting Hillbillies and had never heard of them and my friend kept insisting it was Mark Knopfler, I jus...
