| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible A couple of points. People talking about audio components or the "best" version of a particular album are usually very clear that their choice is by far the best, no comparison.Secondly, I don’t think we need a statistically valid, new prescriptio... | |

| Least expensive solid stereo stand? Timbernation will build you whatever you want out of solid hardwoods as thick as you want them. It's not cheap but you may be able to get what you need for a reasonable price.In my experience with racks, you get what you pay for, but there may be... | |
| Tidal 60 day free trial theo1124, There’s a thread in the PC Audio forum about streaming classical music. | |
| broken ribbon dali Sounds like you need a designated DJ at your next party. There’s nothing better than thinking you’ve blown your speakers and finding out they just need a rest. Thanks for passing on your experience. | |
| Martin Logan Ethos speakers Well, it sounds like you’ve got them plugged into the power conditioner and the recommended distance from the front wall, so that’s good. I would only suggest that you try something to diffuse the first reflection off the sidewalls and the reflect... | |
| Martin Logan Ethos speakers I don't think plugging your speakers into the wall would be a problem as the electricity would only be used to charge the stators and run the bass amp. The musical signal comes from your amp. I would try them both ways to see if one way sounded... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in audio racks these days? I second Timbernation if you're looking for heavy solid woods like maple or walnut. I forget the guy's name but he's in PA and will build whatever you want. Lots of pictures on his website.His work is clean but it's not as fancy as the big $ r... | |
| How much do I have to spend? honashagen, I assume that when you say the upper mids are killing you, you mean that your system is too bright or harsh. That problem can be caused by any of the components in your system or any combination of them. Do you have a friend whose... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad bdp24, I wasn’t mad at you, like I said, I am still mad about how Jimi was treated and I have to vent from time to time. I believe Noel Redding was still suing for back royalties when he died, wasn’t he? The music business certainly has more than ... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad bdp24, Chas Chandler took Jimi to England but Chas wanted to be a record producer not a manager, so he had Jimi sign a management contract with Michael Jeffery, the manager who had robbed The Animals blind. Chas bitched all the time about how Mich... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Kids are going to like what they like. I’m not sure that the people who enjoy rap now will still be listening to it when they are 60 though. I think our culture in the US has been on a downward slide for some time and this is reflected in music, m... | |
| Honesty of the Reviewers Chervokas, You have got to be kidding about the news organizations only wanting to get the truth out. We've both had our say, now lets get back on topic. | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy If you're willing to look at electrostatics, the Martin Logan Montis or Summit X are really nice speakers and they convey the emotion of music very well. They are revealing and need good electronics.ML has gotten the crossover from the bass cones... | |
| Sanders sound systems preamplifier Hi arcticdeth, Before you spend any more money, get your cables separated with as little contact between them as possible. Having them bunched up behind the tv is asking for problems. |
