| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. I don't think the amount of money one spends has much, if anything, to do with one being an "audiophile". It is more about the passion that one has to experience music in its purest form. To bathe in its beauty and emotion whether you are listeni... | |
| MJ Acoustics. I have never heard of them, but from what I saw and read about them, it seems to be just another generic manufacturer. | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong @inna "All speakers after 70s suck too, just in a different way. Don't prove me wrong, it's self-evident, just go and have a listen." So, all speakers sucked before 1970 and all speakers suck after 1970? This leads to two truths. 1. The only ... | |
| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel @misstl Not sure how relevant quoting sales from 1977 is, when there was no other options for the consumer. The fact that vinyl and CD sales are growing is a positive sign regardless. | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Interesting first post. A black & white generalization about a quarter century of speakers. Considering the relatives ages of many of the members, I am pretty sure they enjoyed speakers pre 1970. | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) @soix "although there are still meaningful differences it becomes more a matter of personal taste and system matching as outright faults and limitations tend to decrease markedly." Much like wine. One can find decent bottles for $30, but a good... | |
| Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G I run a pair of Rel T5's, a Rel T7 and a SVS PB200. Haven't heard the Rythmik, but I am sure they are great. My only comment would be that you don't default to merely placing one large sub in a corner and calling it a day. Buy two subs minimum ... | |
| Heavy Vinyl @grinnell "Did you ever hear the 3 sided album on one LP? One side has 2 tracks Monty Python’s Matching Tie and Handkerchief" Being the early 1970’s, certain smokable substances were consumed and the stunned confusion that ensued when a comple... | |
| New Speaker advice @mattsaunders2000 I agree with everyone that using the Denon is spoiling the experience, but adding a preamp with HT bypass is the wrong approach in that you will be powering your two channel with the Denon power amp. You need to add a proper i... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? @secretguy "Pay no attention to forums like this." I assume this comment is tongue in cheek, but just in case it isn't, I have a different take on this. I believe there is gold mine of information available on this site, if one is capable of ... | |
| Fraudulent sale on eBay @markalarsen Well, that is certainly something a lawyer would know about. | |
| Cable management....crossing at right angles or @ghdprentice Thanks (I think??) | |
| Contact for Price I have run into this and I feel the same way. Just something about it that rubs me the wrong way. Don't know why, but it just seems "shady". | |
| speakers for small room @digsmithd Sounds very familiar. ATC SCM19's in a 12' x 20' room powered by 220 wpc. Works for me. | |
| Cable management....crossing at right angles or @ghdprentice I do know it is low on the totem pole of audio tweaks, but my anal personality can't just forget about it. Every time I sit down to listen, I know it is lurking in the background. I can almost hear it snickering at me during the qui... |
